Ryley is honestly such a trooper... Massive headaches, fevers, coughing... Ever had the worst case of the flu and had to lay in bed all day because how how unpleasant and painful it was? Yeah, well, Ryley experiences that and worse, but shrugs it off likes it nothing, diving deeper and facing leviathans all the while. No wonder he was the only survivor, he's a BEAST.
agreed lad
He's more then that... Ryley is a janitor!
@@mattstorm360 Janitors... the toughest of the tough!
@@lasercraft32 Saving worlds and planets since space quest!
@@lasercraft32 he cleaned up the mess left by the architects, Riley is a janitor through and through
Perhaps Robin wasn’t “more resistant” to the Kharaa but rather it simply took longer to develop because she’s swimming in freaking arctic water.
I don't even think it was a factor for her in the long run, seeing that she was on the planet long after the Sea Emperors were released, and allowed to spread Enzyme 42 around the planet's ecosystem without restriction. Meaning that by then, any traces of the bacteria that remained would be almost completely harmless and/or eradicated almost immediately before it could cause her any significant problems.
BELOW ZERO SPOILER
kharaa was completely wiped off the planet by the time below zero's story takes place, except for the frozen leviathan which you cure during the game, so robin literally can't get infected with kharaa
bro the water is super warm.... you cant freeze to death in there but you can on land (excluding the stupid ice fish)
Also the opening mentioned her taking a vaccine
no she didn't have a vaccine
SPOILER ALERT
when riley hatched the sea emperor leviathan eggs that produced enzyme 42 and went through a portal then those leviathans spread the enzyme all over the planet, kharaa was eradicated by the time below zero's timeline happened, except the frozen leviathan that got cured during the story@@pyrov7244
What's interesting is that as far as I remember the architects may have set a system up to ensure the safety of the planet through its smallest species, the peeper, I think there's a whole water ventilation system where peepers are sucked up, end up in the room that the emperess and her spawn are in and then sent back out into the world. once the babies hatched the immunizing fluid they created would latch onto the peepers who would then spread all throughout the planet, immunizing anything that ate them, literally curing the planet from the bottom of the food chain to the very top
Architects just caged the Empress for the eggs and the Enzime her species prouced...tyring to exume her and how to make the enzime to fight the Khaara off...though they failed since they were tooforceful and prolly dyedoff...and before they did they made the security system...to prevent others coming to the planet and spreading the virus across the universe...they failed byt Riley did what they couldn't and ended the virus...
Edit: meanwhile the Empress thelepatically called the peepers and shared tge little Enzime she could produce to try fighting off the virus herself and to also feed gerself after the architects were gone...
I always pictured it acting similar to a bacteriophage, multiplying inside your body, moving into the pustules when there are sufficient numbers, and bursting them all simultaneously, leaving you to die from rapid blood loss.
If the systemic organ failure or necrotic-sepsis does not kill you first.
bacteriophages are killing bacteria not humans
medical officer danby be like:
to be fair, the dive suit doesn't have gloves by default - so that's probably how carar got in (anyone else remember when it was called that?)
I still by habit call it the Carar, and am always caught off guard when I hear it pronounced “correctly”
personally i like kharaa more than carar
@@cool_person69.same
Funny enough you CAN just sit in the life pod or ontop of it and nothing happens. Bobthebuilder up a scanner and check yourself, not infected. BUT if you Ghost Warp over to say, the main Island (Not the floating one) and scan yourself, instantly infected. Touching water doesn't matter, its the moment you leave the life-pods vicinity.
I doubt there is any lore implications as without cheating/glitching/mods you would HAVE to touch the water at some point, but its an interesting trigger effect.
I wish the bacteria was as terrifying as this in game, right now it's a plot point and not much more
Or it was more visible. Like you are randomly exploring, the edge od the screen goes slightly black and there is a red pulsing around the screen with apropriate sound effects.
I feel like having a Majora's Mask type of time limit (before Riley succumbs to the injection) would be annoying. Maybe someone could make a mod though
Likely a byproduct of the devs wanting to uphold the exploration and sandbox nature of the experience.
@@albino478gaming5 I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!
There could be some quantifiable effects from the infection on the game's mechanics as your body starts to succumb. E.g. more rapid buildup of the need for food and water; increased oxygen consumption; reduced swimming speed; and/or taking more damage from creature attacks. With your PDA warning you of the detrimental changes.
I would love it is the game HAS to have a transmission moment to get infected. Have it be that the Kharaa can be transmitted every conventional way, but that still means you have to have a moment of infection. The dive suit and helmet would protect you from general contact and respiratory infections. Cooking your food would prevent ingested infections, so no eating creepvine, or gelsacks. Probably not lantern fruit, or bulbo tree either, but, if grown in a sterile environment, it would probably be fine. No stored, found water from boxes either. The water inside may be sealed, but the bottle itself where your lips touch is not sanitary. And, hardest of all, you must NEVER be injured. Even the slightest cut would be enough.
I think it'd be a fun challenge run. The Clean run. The only food you can eat has to be cooked or grow in growbeds inside a base. Any injury means death (crashfish are gunna be hell early game). I think a fun thing to do if someone actually made a mod for this is the Warpers actually will leave you alone as long as you don't attack them. If you aren't infected, they leave you be. And the test you get in the gun base, obviously, isn't going to let you go just because you're clean. It will just task you with staying safe and continuing work on a cure.
I’m hoping to see biome videos sometime soon. And one that I definitely want to see is about the crash zone and what it was before the crash. I love the crash zone plateaus
These are such high production value always love to see them! Keep,making the good stuff man!
Thanks Alessio! I've tried to really up the qaulity lately so I'm glad you noticed! :)
Annnnnnnnnnd I'm wrong. Here is your 5 bucks. I swear if I lose another bet...
Next time eh FirePhoenix ;)
What now?
@@iAletho It will always be next time
Not addicted to gambling but if I don't do it in a while I start shaking
@@nomed_0862sounds like an addiction
I love how calm aletho always is in his videos, as well as how he makes certain to link his videos to past ones in a way that makes sense. I always go down a rabbit hole of watching far too many subnautica videos, but I'm never bored rewatching bc he always has a calm voice that makes the videos seem so much more intriguing even on a rewatch
Appreciate the information you gave me today pai. Keep up the good work.
Glad to be of service!
I wish kharaa was used more in below zero. The sister storyline was nothing much.
ikr tbh i forgot the sister story line like we could have learnt was the khara made or was it evolved to the khara we know today
There’s probably a cure now tbh, imagine if the protag of below zero was immune? Or someone or something was?
@@staydetermined6717There’s a straight vaccine for it, so she was immune.
The fact that the bacteria looks like a pickle haunts me in my nightmares
You should make videos about the biomes. They are the most interesting part of the game in my opinion.
I love your subnautica videos! Great job 👍👌
Glad you liked it Godzillafan!
Fun fact: the kharaa made bonesharks and stalkers hostile to the player
The ones in the sea emperors tank behave how their ancestors most likely behaved in the past
Also this game is a prequel
A prequel to what?
That's not true, the stalkers and bone sharks in the Emperor's containment are kept docile by the Emperor herself. Telepathic fields and whatnot.
@@tanairium654 Natural Selection 2 I'm guessing.
@@thedartermaybe the state that the bonesharks and staalkers are in at the sea emperor's tank meant to resemble what they behaved like before the precursor science fuckup
The fact that this might be a real thing in distant space make it all the more terrifying
wow just found your channel . Your editing and videos are amazing keep it up !
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Just had a bad day, then I logged on to RUclips and see this. The pain went away
If the Kharaa wasn't a factor or you could cure yourself fast enough I'd stay on that water world.
Best subnautica tuber by far from those amazing thumbnails all the way to the way you bring the information love the pasting keep it up !!( also you could make way more content with the biomes )
ryley literally got symptoms worse than covid and shrugged it off like a beast, maintenance officers are wild
We can't forget the fact that in Natural Selection 2 the technical sequel to subnautica. It can evolve to the point it becomes a hivemind type of organism.
love you're content man keep it up!
Thanks! :)
The editing was really good, and at 0:23 I was laughing at the amount of lantern fruit in your clutches. Also, 2:24 was great as well😂
As always, the epilogue featuring another video was a banger as well! :D
WTF 45k? I swear like a month ago you were just starting out!
Awesome to see your channel grow so fast, and I must say… I’m incredibly impressed by how much your editing and videos have improved overall :)
I like this kind of videoes. This can be documentary+analysis. I have learned aboud more about kharaa and other levuathans. Thx!
The thing is that swimming must genuinely make your condition better due to Sea Emperor’s cure in the water
I wonder if in subnautica 3 there will be infected precursors🤔
We will have to see greencake!
I’m actually currently studying cellular biology for a book I’m writing so this is was nice to listen to while doing a bit of writing and definitely have some inspiration
Good video i LOVE your content! ❤
Thanks unknown_existence! :D
Thank you for making my day better
Awh, thanks Beans! Glad you liked it :)
Great video glad it is still popular great it actually got updated
Another upload! Thank you!!
Enjoy JitJamol!
bro you know more then i do in subnatica lore
keep up the good work👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it proalali!
Nice OC!
And vid!
How is the editing so good!?
In fact there is medicine for the Kharaa devolved by the architects. Have you ever seen those golden trailed peepers, that is a cured fish which puts an unfinished version of the enzyme in the environment.
Riley cleans up the ship from any bacteria, but also from an entire planet.
Fun fact: in the game natural selection 2 which takes place in the same universe as subnautica warpers ended up getting infected by the Kharaa and later became known as “fades”
Yay Aletho posts
Imagine waking up and seeing green pulses on your hands, god that would be terrifying
Aletho can you explain the biomes of 4546B . Like what can you find there and the threaths of the biome?
I just realized i have watched every single video of yours but havent subbed yet * 20000 % subbed
Glad to have you Todd! :)
Makes me wonder. With the power of hindsight, if you exited the escape pod through the top hatch, paddled to the QEP without touching the water, would you remain uninfected, and thus able to turn it off.
Then it's just a matter of eating Bulbo Trees until the Sunbeam shows up.
Always a banger
Lets go leojonsson!
i love your videos, can you cover the cure next?
I might do one day Not_A_Guy!
@@iAletho One day we will get a Sea Emperor Leviathan documentary
it would be interesting if you explored Deep Rock Galactic. I feel like your style of video would perfectly fit into it and garner even more attention.
nice vid keep it going
Glad you liked it!
This makes me thankful that kharaa isn't real, cuz knowing how we deal with pandemics, we'll practically be dead within the first week or so
And that's before the Coffee Makers attack!
@@iAletho it's a more peaceful way to go out, than getting stabbed and scolded by sentient coffee machines!
ahh, i was wondering when my coffee machine will kill me. btw, great job, i love your vehicle videos.
You never know when it might come for you! :)
then ill just stay n my cyclops@@iAletho
0:39 universe sandbox, I remember trying to terraform as many planets in Sol system as possible
The bacteria had pyros flamethrower tf2 reference
The portal 2 alarms are too funny in this context!
You Never Cease To Amaze Us
This is like half educational video half meme lmfao
Nice video🙂
The kharaa bacteria looks like pickles💀
Coughing and sneezing while dying must suck
1:00 I fear no man, but that thing, it scares me
Loved it
Could you do video about cut content (either Original or BZ) or about story of BZ from early access that was later changed?
I recently did a video covering some cut creatures :)
5:18
as a jojo and subnautica fan i jumped out of bed and started cheering so much 😭
The cod zombie noises are... oddly fitting for Kharaa.
Fun fact:I feel like the brute shark is next cause in the shadow leviathan video there was a brute shark model.
So from watching this my basic understanding is that this is an alien zombie virus
To add to this info. It’s unknown about specific details but several hundred years in the future this virus evolves to the point of puppeting bodies (or corpses). This info comes from the game that the subnautica developers made before subnautica. same name, same virus. If I got any info wrong I do apologize.
It’s a bacterium but yeah
Nah aletho is goated
I'm surprised you didn't mention the ultimate fate of a Kharaa sufferer as depicted in the Natural Selection series.
Opinions on the whole home made cure thing lol?
Wait, I am a little bit late but what if warpers can teleport so they can teleport infected bodies back so they don't infect others?
Now I’m scared of a kharaa infected reaper that’s extra angry and going mad
the khaara can be a very scary disease ngl
If you can, it would be worth it making a compilation of shirt clips from through the years
It's making me feel sick just watching this! 😂😂😂
Clearly you didn’t use enough love and cookies if you didn’t win it over
I'll have to try harder next time :(
What that purpel plane ob intro 0:10
the cod zombie sounds make it just that better
The adaptive imune sistem has an aswer for anything, but it needs to boot up first. Did the devs consulted some medics before coming with this thing? I seen worse, the microfage is the deadliest being on the planet. But it only kills bacterial.
do sea emporor next
um yeach well can we get the sea empepror witch infact has a antibiotic.
So as long as we keep going outside and eating peepers we should be ok
Ryley is the goat he crashed on a alien planet and built a rocket and many bases and got infected by a alien virus and cured it
good video.
Thanks Wilhelmsworld!
kharaaster energy drink
Unknown worlds’ other game natural selection 2 takes place in the same universe and has advanced Kharaa as a common enemy
All Alterra’s fault
You’ll be fine…. *checks fuel readout on my flamer* ….honestly.
You were my brother Anakin!
*screams at you for using gas grass trimmer*
this makes me think of Naegleria fowler
and the plague
Laughs in Husk parasite! This game is just scarier than barotrauma only because its first person
You laugh until the Khara turns the pile of throbbing flesh that used to be your coworkers into an Onos to bash down the door into the last sealed section of your space station.
Kharaa is basically Covid-19 on steroids.
More like cancer, but waterborne and less you can do
Its not even a virus man
I can’t pronounce it so i call it space covid
yo, what do you know about the kaara ? i talk about the alien menace of Natural Selection 2. Do they originate from the same bacteria ?
Fairly sure they’re set in the same universe, so most likely yeah
Neat.
Imagine if someone was immune somehow?
Imagine how different the game would be, imagine how some creatures would react to you? Especially the warpers (they would probably try to protect you considering your immunity?)
then you just build the rocket disable the gun and fly off, no enzyme 42
Hmm…
Fabricator -> full course of broad-spectrum antibiotics and some antipyretics just in case
Solved. Maybe…
He's already dead, he just doesn't know it, hohoho money!🎅🦀
Actually your body has a cure for every POSSIBLE BCTERIA but it takes time finding the rigth one and so, This is pretty accurate
Your mistake was the blader fish. Watter
Wouldn’t antibiotic help since the bacteria have never seen it
