I found this purple place for the first time earlier and the second I heard the pda say there was a leviathan I just left lol it was 3 am and I didnt want to wake my whole family up screaming
I don’t blame you i woke up my neighbors in my apartment complex from screaming
@@PhantomThiefAleAJ 😂😂😂😂
@@PhantomThiefAleAJ lmao
What a legend
I immediately did a 180 and left lol
Imagine you've already been to the dead zone, and think: "there isn't anything else worse than those leviathan!"
I came down to that entrance at one point, not realizing this was a place. I wasn't probably more than half way past the initial area, picking up stuff from the sea floor (the crystals were a must find for me). Then, out of nowhere, my PDA gives the warning...the SECOND IT DID, that damn behemoth came from around a bend into the other rooms, screeching and roaring. Oh man, I f*cking lost it, I was too far away from the Seatruck, so I out maneuvered it with my seaglide as best as I could. It was enough, then I booked it directly for my Seatruck. I turned around to see where it went and just watched that black serpentine tail vanish back into the murky void.
*And so, I came back much later with a prawn suit armed to the teeth, right?*
That’s exactly what I did lol but still died
the teleportation module works wonders when you stray too far from the seabus and suddenly get attacked by a leviathan.
Good story mate sounds pretty cool of an encounter
@@jhnyjoejoe69 *Seatruck
@@MrDrHouse *magic school bus
When I heard the PDA say it was nearby, *I instantly brought out my scanner*
Lol
Professionals have standards
When I heard it, I was back at the surface in 10 seconds
So uh did you do it}
@@stardustlight8630 yes. Literally the second I saw it
Shadow Leviathan have a very specific patrol route. Unless aggravated, they won't deter from this route ever. If you follow their patrol route, you can time your movement and never get attacked. Although I believe that even if you escape the shadows in crystal caves, you will definitely run into them at the fabricator caverns, the spaces is too narrow and the crystal pillars cause disorientation.
I figured that one out the hard way
I'm not smart enough to pull that off
I just killed it instead
They also can't even get to you behind a lot of the crystal formations. Their pathing will bug and they can't reach you behind some of the larger formations. Always stay near the walls for a quick escape behind some crystals.
Thank you finger
I’ve noticed from videos that the shadow leviathan is absolutely horrifying it like instantly sees you regardless of where you are in its line of sight
I’ve heard rumors in can just quietly stalk you until it’s ready to attack and you’ll never know
@@PhantomThiefAleAJ It also moves so fast when it comes to attack, you could be mining outcrops and turn to the left and it’s just lunging at you
@@Gomikey_Gomikey truly a terrifying creature
the shadow leviathan is rightfully named
@@PhantomThiefAleAJ You know, it DOES do that. I'm replaying it and I'm always like 'how the fuck does something that big sneak up on you until it's only 50 feet away?'
Basically, if you haven't got good hiding spot within about 5 seconds of hearing it scream at you, it'll get you. I'm always looking for the light blue mouth parts in the distance.
.... And I've found a couple of good hiding spots, though nearly died trying to get a scan. XD
See, this area made me break into a sweat and here's why:
I played subnautica on hardcore, as blind as I could manage, what with youtube's obsession with it; I'm doing the same with below zero and loving it. Now I'd been in areas with leviathans before, more than one even, and the PDA was basically silent. I enter this area and it warns me of a leviathan.
As in, "A" leviathan. Singular. One. The implication immediately gave me serious pause. Even moreso than the old "are you sure whatever you're doing is worth it?" Because my thought was: "why would it not care about the chelicerates and such but warn me about one single leviathan? ...oh shit..."
Precisely not to mention how powerful a chelicerate is in the first place. I was thinking "NOW IT WARNS ME!?"
Not to mention, it's an area with only one entrance and exit, very narrow and hard to manuever with the Sea Truck. Back then, most of the Leviathans were on open water, and even if they were in caves, it was wide enough to out run them.
I was absolutely terrified trying to escape that place for more then half an hour
On top of all that there are actually 2 of the bastards.
@@jonbradley4044 Oh no there's more than 2, of this I'm certain. I know of at least three spread out around the crystal caverns. Still, the implication of the PDA was clear.
The trick to Leviathans in Subnautica is that most often, even in caves, you'll catch a warning glimpse of them at a distance. The Shadow Leviathan breaks this rule in two ways: either you see the blue mouth, and the smallness of it gives the illusion the creature is far away.
Or, in my case, I was on the other side of it and didn't even see the damn thing until it whipped around and instantly grabbed my PRAWN suit. I literally screamed and slapped the escape button so hard it left a mark.
Best intro to a Leviathan I've had since the Sea Emperor reveal, and it wasn't even a "cutscene" this time. Even when I came back it's absolutely horrifying how fast and maneuverable the Shadow Leviathan is in these close, narrow caverns, especially for a creature of its size and length. Watching this video I was almost fooled was thinking it was just minding it's own business, until it pulled that sharp 90° turn and charged right at you.
It's design is suitable different from all other Leviathans. The black reflective flesh is almost rubbery and unnatural, combined with the forward pointing pincers permanently fixed in an aggressive position. The blue mouth stands out so much it actually distracts from the full creature, making an effective lure. And the large arrow-shaped head even further reinforces that is thing is a predator, absolutely with nothing else in mind. It hunts, it kills, and it is a reason there is only Leviathan in this cavern.
0:46 my heart fucking stopped when you bumped that crystal
My first encounter was so freaky it almost seemed scripted. I found an entrance to the crystal caves in the deep purple vents, I was surprised that there was an entrance there and went in a little bit, but couldn't go any further (and quite frankly didn't want to) because I didn't have the depth modules for it at the time. When I stopped, the pda said that a leviathan class predator was near, and I just stopped for a couple seconds, just surprised that there was an entrance there. Then I see the bloody thing swim around the corner and coming straight for me. I turned around and hauled ass right back to the deep purple vents, I could hear it behind me, not roaring, but just the sound of it moving.
Late but that’s exactly how it went down for me lol
2:02
Ok now that is one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen, just how far it can see you and how quickly it moves.
The first time I encountered this thing I was lucky enough to have the perimeter defence system installed on my seatruck. After it grabbed me I gave it a shock which caused it to flee. The leviathan ended up getting stuck in between the wall and some crystals lol. I used the opportunity to scan it.
I should definitely get the perimeter defense
It’s on the angry lady’s floor
You can really feel the fear in the timid movements of the player.
"eh it's tiny, and GLOWING how's it a phantom.... Oooooh FU-"
As soon as my PDA said that it literally swam around the corner straight at me
at least your PDA warned you, my pda warned after I had the encounter smh
When i came into this place for the first, my PDA gave me the warning and the moment gave me the warning i was outside of the prawn suit *so just imagine my reaction when he suddenly appeared on my face out of nowhere.*
This thing is equal to ghost leviathan and reaper leviathan when it comes to being scary, any other leviathan are just for beauty this is the actual terror.
Anyone else got jumpscared twice by the sound of hitting those crystals ? :p
Without perimiter defense upgrade, these guys are annoying. They attack you from what feels like the other side of the cavern, because they lack any other prey in the area. Managed to kill one with the Prawn suit.
Another small creator blowing up, Goodluck friend
Thank you!!! 🥺😩
@@PhantomThiefAleAJ no problem
You guys are both rad! love your vids
@@treviken9416 thank you I very much appreciate it 😭
Kinda sucks he showed up like that for you, I was in my prawn suit and as I walked towards that first big drop off into the main chamber of the crystal caves I looked up and watched it slowly coil around a crystal before swimming at an angle and then coming straight for me, felt almost like a cutscene.
I remember hiding in a little cave away from it
This place is one of the scariest places in Subnautica, more then dunes
I still find the dunes scarier, but thats probably because of my thalassophobia manifesting.
Ugh first it was crab squid now it’s the goast what else could there be
There’s nothing worse-
thIS IS WORSE THIS IS WORSE
I love that its glowing mouth is the first thing you see and you think "oh thats a cool medium sized fish" then you realize thats just its mouth
Definitely my favorite leviathan from both games, though its easily cheesable with the pds :/
The second game is way too lenient and chesseable in my opinion, especially with all the oxygen plants and whatnot.
@@dogwithabeard2612 yeah, it focuses much more on story
i didnt find these at all easy to " cheese" with the prawn suit? each time it attacks it takes out almost 40% of the suit
@@rtool1 Perimeter defense systems basically make it not a threat, you can cancel the eating animation and retain your hp. I havent played subnautica in around a year so I cant remember if the prawn has pds so lmk
@@Saryn.What's pds
One thing i really appreciate is that they gave it this squid-like design, with the arrow-shaped head, a feature designed for cutting through water and moving at great speeds, and they captured it so perfectly with this one.
Me: I'm not afraid of the ocean. *sees Shadow Leviathan*
Also me: Nope! Nope! Nope! Super NOPE!!
built a nice base w/a large room having a glass roof so when the shadow leviathan passes by i can see it right above me in that room
*Hops out seatruck
Shadow leviathan: And i took that personally
I think it was my first interaction but when I first played this game I found this area and explored and collected a lot of materials, when I was out of my seatruck and collecting materials I heard a subtle noise behind me. I turned around and directly in front of me was the shadow leviathan. Never between subnautica 1 or below zero did I ever feel fear like that nor do I think I’ll ever have fear like that again in these games. This happened when the game came out and I still remember vividly
Bro he just wants a hug.
No he just wants to eat me lol
hug to eat
I don't know why but I find the Leviathans in the first game more terrifying
Firts time was like warning a leviathan class y played subnautica and at that moment i thought why a leviathan in singular and not in plural like subnautica
The pda didn't finish the phrase of the leviathan and i was like holly cow what the he hell is that
personally, It was already trapped, so I would go ahead take the risk and scan It.
when you hit that rock.. it literally made me jump out of fear. :DDD
"A leviathan class creature is near"
*Rams as hard as possible into nearby crystals*
If I ever go there I’m bringing my sea truck with my docking module for the prawn suit
I have had so many encounters with this stupid leviathan it's not even funny XD This leviathan was the one thing that solidified my opinion that this game is _much_ scarier than the original game ever was. When I found the cave I knew that the leviathan was there from what I'd heard of the game, so I naturally proceeded carefully. My seatruck couldn't go deep enough to explore the cave so I swam down myself to grab whatever I could find. I was keeping a careful eye out for anything odd but I hadn't seen anything... Then it happened. I was in the middle of scanning a prawn suit arm when I heard this horrible screech. I looked everywhere and, as I was close to the ground I couldn't see everything super well. Then I saw this huge, black shape with an unnatural blue bulge charging me at speeds that given my experience with the leviathans in the original game should not even be half possible. I legit screamed and bolted away with my seaglide and only just saw it turn around and head back into the depths as I escaped. Ever since then I have been horrible afraid to return XD
That was only my _first_ encounter (and arguably one of the least scary ones)...
That sea truck looked so tasty 🤤
So we meet again are you here to eat my new sea truck?
My first time going into the crystal caves, i had my PDA warning me about a Leviathan nearby, so i’m on defcon 1 and i see in the corner of my eyes a strange black tail disappearing behind rocks, as soon as i understand what i just saw, my seatruck gets attacked from behind, i definitely soiled my pants this day
1:56 if you don’t care about the exploring but I like watching the exploring and finding new places :)
Cue the Subnautica PDA "Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"
I was honestly expecting to *see* something like a reaper
No, I found something *worse*
That’s why I always stick close to walls. At least when you see it it’s not so scary
My first encounter with the shadow leviathan went like this:
Found a piece of kyanite. Hop out and grabbed it. Immediately got back in the seatruck and maneuvered between a purple crystal and the cave wall which the seatruck could barely fit into. At that moment I heard this horrible screeching sound as it rammed into the gap behind me. I didn't look back at all and bolted. So my first encounter I didn't even see the thing.
Shadow Leviathan be chillin
(My scanner) I think it’s time to introduce myself
This thing will chase you on the moment it saw you.
nice to know it gave this warning for this but not the chelicerite where i shat my pants going in the open water thinking i was safe.
I built a base there, I don't know why - but once I'm out of the base and he ate me directly 🥲😂
when u are out of ur ship to get stuff
Shadow: GET OVER HERE
when u get back in the ship
Shadow: aw man it's not tasty anymore :(
I found this biome by accident and once I came across the Shadow Leviathan for the first time I just hopped on the Prawn Suit and kept punching it and repairing when attacked until I killed it, don’t need to worry about it anymore they don’t re-spawn
I’ve gotten scared so much from the first game that this game isn’t scary in the slightest
Agreed for some reason I damn near ran through the game versus when I played the original I was stuck in the beginning for days
This might be because of the fact 1. Ur playing on easy mode, and 2. They changed how often u find different resources like how it’s hard to find table coral but easy to find copper, it’s also Easter because u have experience with the game.
“Leviathan class life form is nearby”
Me: fuck this shit I’m out
Fuck this shit I’m out
Don’t mind me, imma just grab my stuff and leave
Scuse me please
Fuck this shit I’m out
You gotta use the perimeter defense system. Then its easy af :)
That stuff is so op
So true
Or you can simply cancel driving just before leviathan does attack animation. If you are not steering truck leviathans cannot grab it.
Just thinking about the self defense thing
@@tunemaki_izlasitrlv6835 true but then that’s what’s the point of defense
When i encountered this first i panicked and hit the "shoot" button by reflex, fortunately the perimeter defense module was activated and a shockwave scares away the levi :D
With each passing second in the video, i slowly putting more distance between me and my phone. Yeah, im weak with jumpscares.
Guys, it's my first time playing Below Zero. I went to the cave and now, for some reason, the Leviathan is just circling my Seatruck. I think the AI is bugged, since it's not aggressive. I won't move a muscle until it goes away.
I have a base right around the place the video starts. It's about 125m away from the leviathan's path. Very fun to encounter.
After PDA notified you about the leviathan you definitely flinched here 0:45
Turn the light off, turn the light off!
Just today right after getting the organs for alan and when i was leaving with my seaglide i decide to look behind me get a sight of my enviroment just to see a shadow leviathan that had prpbably been right behinf me for around 200 metres just too kill me and scremed like a child.
"proceed with caution a leviathan class creature is near." is the new "multiple leviathan class organisms detected, are you sure whatever you're doing is worth it?
They need to add a dramatic music when it enters the line of sight of the player. I think it'll add to the tension when ur staring into the darkness and u hear boss music and something getting closer. Would also add to the jumbscare with the music if it pops infront of u from behind and the dramatic sound effect comes in suddenly 😨
no
If you get attacked by the shadow leviathan how much damage does it do to your sea truck if you dont have the perimeter defence. I’m planning on going deeper into the caves and want to make sure I wont get swallowed up as soon as it comes after me
It takes about 20 points away from your health
@@PhantomThiefAleAJ thank you
My favorite leviathan Ngl
I got a prawn suit to go down there and it wasn't as insanely bad as with just a sea truck a prawn suit and a drill is better than just a sea truck I named my Shadow Leviathan Snuffles yes Snuffles because they are like cats they want to play then they leave you alone for a bit.
Just a remindal that in the original concept of below zero there was supposed to be an ice dragon leviathan which would have been even larger than the shadow leviathan
first time going here i didnt get the pda message, so it was a bit of surprise
So I went into the crystals for the first time knowing about the shadow bit$h with my prawn.. I tried to scan it. Died. And it destroyed my prawn with maxed upgrades. I went full force and tried to kill it with a knife and I went at it for a while. I dodged it like I was actually going to kill someone.
I heard its sounds behind me,
Within that 6~7seconds of roaring and swim to me,
I already finished typing the necessarily command for Creative/No damge mode,
I have never.. in my entire life... typing shit that quick
When I entered here I went in with a sea truck with 4 models and my prawn suit with full ion power cells and left on a sea glide
When I saw it for the first time I was swimming down there from the geothermal area and I didnt even get a warning from the PDA it just saw me and i saw it, jesus it was fast I was dead in seconds
First experience with one...nothing around. Hop out of my prawn to gather some mats...torn around and this bastard is French kissing it.
The worst part is that it doesn't eat any normal small fish, apart from YOU
0:46 I flinched lol
I can smell the fear :P
Reminds me os Shamsiel or something - the third evangelion angel.
me who killed both the shadow leviathans to have peace exploring crystal caves
How??
Literally just got to this part of the game and I shit my pants because I was looking around for it fucking terrified and I saw nothing anywhere around me then it came out of the fucking wall or some shit
I only bring my prawn suit down here lmao
Mine was worst it said leviathan creature nearby and that mf instantly came at me didn't even let the PDA finish lol
Thats why you listen to the pda
I do not know why but I think the shadow leviathan is the by far least scary Leviathan in both games! I believe it's mainly because it's too large and overdesigned...
I both agree and disagree. It doesn't look nor sound scary, but it has a tendency to appear out of nowhere and is the most aggressive leviathan in both games. So, it's almost like the opposite of what the reaper is like, with the reaper, the thing that makes it scary is the anticipation when hearing its roar, while the thing that scares with the shadow leviathan is the thought of it appearing out of nowhere.
@@ryuxy032kinda why it has shadow in its name... Duh
I loathe the way you were handling the truck lmfao
I was terrified lol
Fair enough bro I didn't take that into consideration lol. when I first got here I was assuming it was talking about the stupid chtishufifjsn monsters but it took my by surprise when I got jump scared cuz a giant glowing ribcage trashed my truck
@@sealofvileblood2467 I love the fact you called it a glowing rib cage 😩😂🤣
They should make it were the PDA is out loud until Alan and you get arktech tech
What?
@@cometvaudin2850 like the fish and leviathans can hear until Alan gives you some tech
Scary as hell
Pda sounds different now :(
I like the old one but its okay
I hate this situation
I have subnautica Nautica below zero and I haven't seen one yet but this is going to be my first impression 😓😨😫😭
You know it’s too bad that they decide to put the main leviathan on the cover of the game when you first load it up, That really kind of ruins the surprise and horror you know, At least that’s what loads up on the Xbox version of the game, I have no idea if they did the same thing for the PlayStation or PC versions.
My encounter was 10x more scary, my dumb ass was flying through the shits having fun and the robo lady said that and then I head a scream, and then I saw how big that nigga was in the shadows, I have a funny ass clip of it
One time I went too far out and didn’t realize she was warning me and kept going and then out of nowhere I was surrounded by the 5 leviathans dragging me down to the bottom
@@PhantomThiefAleAJ lmao, I still think the reaper warning is the absolute worst one still * so far, just hit the red fabricator caves
@@StephenGreen17 that’s where I’m headed next I’m having a hard time finding it
@@PhantomThiefAleAJ it's toward the dunes for the location, around there
This guy is playing on freedom. Nice. (Edit: 3rd comment lol)
ngl i played on freedom too cuz im too bitchmade to worry abt food and stuff
@@abysswib nice lmao
Let's be real here this guy needs to add some "To be continued" music in this
@@leonelmolina6198 truuee
Say less lol working on another vid
How do I find it and get to the area?
I think you head north from the first drop pod, then once you enter an area with mini volcanoes (there will be a leviathan there too) just go downwards until you find cracks in the bottom of the sea floor but it eventually turn into a giant cave once inside you just have to keep going down until you more caves or some entrance that will lead you to a kyanite outcrop area then boom you’re there
@@PhantomThiefAleAJ Ok thanks and try not to get eaten
It’s worse he was outside
I rammed it to a pulp
I was searching for lead when i found this cave. There we're These mushrooms so i hot deeper to get more and after 15 minutes being there i was already so fat into the Case that an escaped was Impossible so i Just killed myself
My first encounter almost felt scripted and fake, I had a video but I didn’t save my real reaction😔 anyways, I went down the way the Grandma lives(idk the name of the biome), I was going down with my seamoth and I noticed a Kyanite. I got out and the textures didn’t load in so when the crystals loaded in I thought they were teeth and shitted myself lmao. I went down, I got the warning, I checked my inventory cause I was low on water, and I heard this roar from a distance, I saw the blue ribs(which I thought they were the rays from the last game with the Ghost Lev), and as it got closer I could see the giant ass arrow shape coming towards that big ass hole, and it saw me. I got scared and reversed into tho crystals, and I thought my thing was a goner but it got trapped between the crystals. I was in shock and I just watched it go in circles which helped me realize the pattern for later lmao
Well honestly first time entering it was like
Pda:detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforme act with extremely caution
Me:shit i don’t want lost ROKI I he have prawn upgraded with seatruck full upgrade with MK3 SELF DEFENS AND HYPER BOOST WITH FABRICATION AND STORAG
me:save and try avoid him got sucked 2 time screamed 3 time after dis 2 days later back IN cristal to beat game
Shadow:ahh shit again?
Me:suck my self defens attack gotta fast
Game finsih:GENERIC
As a blk man.....i have to say...ur invited to the cookout...cuz that was 🔥
boys i did it i scan the shadow leviathan without dying 😀
These things are bullshit.
Reapers, Ghosts and even Sea Dragons in the first game could be evaded with skill, and they didn't move terribly fast so you could outmaneuver them.
Shadow Leviathans move stupidly fast and detect and aggro at you from ridiculous ranges. The areas with them are an absolute chore to traverse.
Shadow
