@@Impirialix7 yeah lol. It’s still terrible tho. The worst part isn’t even when they’ve got you eye to eye. It’s when you ever so faintly hear that distant, terrifying roar.

@@DegnaDingsbro onw time i was just adventuring down under the sea and the water started becaming sandy like next to the aurora and i thought i was just going into the dunes and wanted to explore the dunes a bit because ive had never been there before (i have now) and i hear a reaper behind me and i just run for it i go above the water and see i was at the front of the aurora like 50 meters to the left of the end of the front of it and that reaper actually saved my life because if it hadnt stopped me i wouldve went to the void with a 200 meter seamoth
Here is my first reaper leviathan story. I was using my seamoth to go explore more areas on the subnautica map, but I ended up wandering in the Dunes. It was nightime, and I didn't have my lights on since even with them I couldn't see the ground. I heard distant screaming, and I thought it was not a problem. All of a sudden I hear the same noise really well. The Reaper Leviathan grabbed my seamoth, and I screamed so loud that I woke up my entire house. After that experience, I developed a murderous intent for Reapers, trying to kill as many as I could so I never had an experience like that again.
The Reaper's detection is based on proximity and lighting, so they definitely aren't. If you turn the lights off in your vessel, you are less likely to be noticed by a Reaper.
@@xxfalconarasxx5659 I like to think that when you have the lights on it still notices you easier because it's like that with blind people where they "see" a red, yellowish void instead of black. But I don't know what a massive most likely blind fish "sees" °\(•-•)/°
@@xxfalconarasxx5659 gameplay wise it can definitely see but in the lore it's blind or can at least hardly see at all it's roar is a form of echolocation. Again in gameplay it can see in lore blind as a bat
I saw the game on a RUclips video 6 years ago forget it existed, until I got bored and started playing it last year, best choice in gaming I ever made.
@AI-GPT-NPC Man you have no idea how much that period of time where it was in development hell sucked. We can thank Jacksepticeye for keeping it alive because we got a masterpiece out of it
What makes reapers even more scary is that they are way bigger than you think they can easily fit your seamoth in their mouth like your a lays chip the reason why they look small when they grab you is because they are holding you like 15meters away from their face the reaper is 55 meters long 2x longer than the biggest blue whale ever found on earth and that just make you think how big is the sea dragon
Yyyyeaaahhhh.. my reaction involved alot of swearing and shouting when I first encountered the Reaper. It was worse when I started to venture deeper underground.. especially when I found the ghost leviathan 😵
The first time I encountered one I knew there was on by the aurora but wasn't sure about past it so I swam around it at the very beginning of the game and while swimming I saw it In the distance swimming around and then I heard it roar so i swam up to the surface terrified just in time to see another reapers tail fall back into the water after jumping out and I kept swimming past the aurora unaware that there are like 7 reapers In total past the aurora until eventually one jumped out of the water and grabbed me I remembered in sheer terror I paused and unpaused my game 6 times while saying "oh shit oh shit oh fuck oh shit"
Since this comment section popular topic is Reaper stories, maybe i'll tell mine too. First time playing subnautica. Saw some videos about the games, but never saw _it_ Going into the Aurora to enter it and see what was going on there. I heard _it's_ roar, thinking it was just another ambience sound. After exploring the Aurora, I get out, jump into the water... or not. I swear, that thing literally JUMPED from the water, catched me MID AIR, and KILLED ME without warning. I'll just say I needed to pause for a minute after that.
@@Heisen_burger-dude imo the dragon is worse, more damage and unlike every other animal in the game it can still attack while stunned, everything is kinda weak after you get the status rifle but that bastards still throws fireballs.
due to a power-out during savingI soon had to restart my save, so the game thought I wanted a bigger challenge for a "second" playthrough and that there was my first death, on my first visit to the Aurora, even while being careful
Get sonar (for detection) or at least the seamoth perimeter defense (electric shock). A single non-charged shock and you're free from the grasp with little or no damage. You can use the same shock defense in subnautica below zero for the sea truck to escape the shadow leviathan. Or simply get the cyclops with the seamoth docked inside. Or you can be more adventurous and use a static rifle to stop the reaper before it catches your seamoth.
Omg this game gets you when your comfortable lmao. I was in the blood oil forest (or whatever it’s called😂) and I knew the crabsquid was there. I’m in my Seamoth minding my own business and I turn around and a GHOST LEVIATHAN is in my face . I didn’t know they could be so close I thought they were only at a certain depth 😂 it was only like 280m
Omg so fun. I was so scared when this first happened to me. It is a very hard time for you and I hope that your mom gets well and you can rest up soon as well as you need it is a hard thing for me and you know I am very proud to have been there and I’m sure that I am so happy that I can be with her for
I finished the game last night. Night time hit after I left the big ship one last time after collecting an item from the captains quarters so I just waited until the sun came up. After my first visit I saw a reaper slithering under me when I left the it the first time, never went during the night again
Lol today I had a jaws moment with the same reaper I heard it and jumped my sea moth out of the water only to see the claws come into view from behind me while I was in mid air Jesus
If you don’t do anything to escape, I think he kills your ship in one hit. I had 100% and then my seamoth still got destroyed the first time I encountered him on my new game. I thought: “ah I’ll be fine, he can’t destroy me in one…” I’m in the water looking at the pieces….
Damn ive gone to Aurora like 5 times and have never encountered a reaper. But i stay on the surface and go straight in and straight out. But i went out deep one day past aroura and got the "multiple leviathan class species in the area. Are you sure what youre doing is worth it?" And i saw the shadow of what i think a reaper or sea monster and dipped
so i got REALLLY adevntours one time and went near there to the end of the aurora to go look for stuff well really the front after it blew up like he did but i NEVER looked down i went into the water to check that it was safe only for me to hear a verryyyy distant reaper levithsn calll i have a panic attack when i heard it as we all do. so i scrammed out of there. there is a VERY good reason why the whole "dont look down." thing is true mostly in subnuatica :)
Ive never been attacked by one of the reapers near the aurora, been damn close tho. I was looking for cyclops fragments in an area i though was too far for the reaper (i was near the back) i found an engine piece, started scanning it and when i looked up its tail was so far in my face i was choking on it
Once you learn to maneuver around it you’ll be fine. The worst thing. You can do is let it approach you head on. You need to keep turning around it because it can’t keep up with you, it can’t turn as fast as you can. Also you can just use A stasis rifle to freeze it and continue on your merry way. Also you can stasis rifle it and then attack it with a thermal blade to kill it.
I did kill 3 today though; after that incident I got really motivated. I got an observatory to track them and then, armed with a rifle and the knife, I made ripper kebab! So satisfying!
One time I was leaving the ship and the reaper got stuck on a part of it and I scanned it and it got free and I was struck with true fear and high tailed it out of there I can’t remember if it chased me or not
It’s always terrifying when you see the reaper moving in the distance!!!

The worst part is that if you scan it the reaper pda says that it’s already horrifying roar is sonar. Hear it, he sees you.
Yes, but the Reapers aren’t actually coded to work that way. They use the same path finding as most other hostile enemies in the game.

When it’s your fifth playthrough and a reaper grabs you, instead of panting you instead vibe to the leviathan theme it plays.

You get fear, I get urge to assert dominance (pulls out thermoblade)

"blind him or something". Fun fact of the day: the Reaper is blind, it finds you with it's roar, if you hear the roar he probably knows where you are.
You can manuver around him by turning fast because they cant turn that fast, the shock defense upgrade helps tons
The Seamoth perimeter defense upgrade is such a useful thing to have. It completely changes the game when it comes to dealing with Reapers.
