Only just got this recommended - great video! :)

Fun fact: the extra 10 seconds of oxygen was originally a bug, but the developers thought it was a good quality of life feature, so they kept it in.

I honestly wish I could play this game for the first time again and at number 7 is literally the spot everyone goes through

Trick I found for Stalker Teeth: Get five pieces of metal salvage and a gravity trap. Find a stalker and drop the salvage and the grav trap. The grav trap keeps the stalker and the salvage together and the stalker will be constantly dropping one piece of metal salvage to pick up a different piece. This produces a massive number of stalker teeth very quickly.

Beacons are also useful because if you have one in your inventory, it will drop if you die, allowing you to locate your lost items easier

the scanner room is a super underutilized tool. for example, you can build one in the safe shallows and scan for stalker teeth, rather than farming them yourself.

1:45 in addtion to the +10 seconds, it can be a good idea to carry a couple of Bladderfish when either deep diving with limited oxygen tank or when exploring wrecks. Bladderfish, while being great for water in the beginning, can also be eaten raw and when you do so, they provide the player with 15 oxygen points.

5:56 Do not ever hold a cuddle fish egg again, you have just lost that right.

Im pretty sure that “secondary” entrance is the intended route, since it was the default entrance before the prawn bay was added.

This is a trick that is used in speed runs but is actually part of the cote game on purpose: if you hold shift (or equivalent) when crafting you can stay in the crafting menu and navigate it while your item is being made. Its not insanely useful, but if you're making a lot of stuff that is multi layered crafting it can be useful for speeding it along.

One of the funnest challenges is containing a reaper in a 'tank' by trapping it in a space enclosed by the big rooms since it was added to the original game. Such a joy looking at your pet leviathan in your improvised containment area and a real grind on your sanity when constructing such a big project😂

3:50 also you can just use scaning room and if you have your base near kelp forest, you will find a lot of them. 5:52 monster.

I would recommend carrying 2 beacons at around the time when you get the cyclops (the huge submarine for you newbies) because you probably arent going to go back home after finding a single thing only

i'd like to add to the reaper thing: if you want to be safe around reapers (and yes, this is a perfect tip for hardcore runs) always have uncooked peepers onhand. most of the times reapers will come at you, snatch the fish out of your hand, and then swim away for a short time period.

excellent advice, I knew that the noise of the cyclops attracts predators but it never occurred to me to turn off the engine! I have to admit that my first play-through of subnatica was very peculiar... I've never been afraid of the game's predators, several times I've come face to face with phantom leviathans etc, but I've never panicked. I even scanned all the leviathans in the game without any security measures and absurdly I only died twice in my first game. But anyway subnatica scared the shit out of me too with its creepy alien structures... I remember the first time I explored the alien cannon. I literally ran to the landing site and when I saw the alien cannon I TOTALLY panicked. With my heart pounding, I explored the structure with the fear that an alien would come out of a corner. And when I realized that that cannon was used to carry out the quarantine procedure and would surely have destroyed the ship that was supposed to save me well I promoted subnatica to my favorite game! no other game has ever made me feel such emotions. At that moment I thought that this was the culmination of subnatica, but I was wrong! The end of the game was able to be even more exciting, I dare say almost perfect! I literally loved the Sea imperator's "philosophical" observations... and well it was a unique emotion to hatch the eggs!

Use three scraps and a gravity trap for a stalker farm. Pick up any fish that is trapped and materials. Great stalker tooth farm. Though, be sure to collect the gravity trap when you are done. The stalkers will steal them.

My tip: There is no need for a seamoth to get to the aurora. All you need is a seaglide, and you might not even need that. Simply climb on your lifepod, point yourself in the direction of the Aurora, and swim. This worked without fail for me many times. Its also the best way to find the capsized lifepod, forgot what it's called.

There is two more advanced tips with the reaper (that I found). 1. Before reaper approaches you they will not scream for a while. 2. They will most likely come from your back. So when the reaper goes silent, turn around just in case. P.S. The wiki and PDA also say that reapers will circle there pray before attacking. P.S.2 great video I actually didn’t know that only one 3/4 metal salvage can yield stalker teeth and I thought that swimming in the water was faster, turns out it isn’t.

Did no one see him put 16 CUDDLEFISH EGGS?!?!

Another tip I would recommend is burst fire with the stasis rifle first, then charge shot. Uncharged shots freeze the targeted area for 6.5 seconds; fully charged shots freeze the targeted area for 30 seconds. Triple tapping a leviathan gives you a good chance to immobilize it long enough to charge a full shot, which then gives you plenty of time to get away. Makes handling everything from Reapers to Ghost leviathans a walk in the park.

I got this game free on Epic game store because my son wanted to play it. He kept asking me "how do I do this and that" so I installed it on my PC too. I played for a short while and was hooked. Several hundred hours later I keep going back and doing "Just one more play through". When Below Zero came out I was happy to drop some cash and support the devs.

A small note on the subject of power priority: I have made the experience that with a very large base and especially when using power transmitters, the order can unfortunately change after reloading the game. I think the game first loads what is immediately around the player and only then gradually loads objects further away. For me, the bio-generator in the base regularly became the first device and, for example, thermal generators or solar panels that were further away and connected via transmitters became secondary devices, which was very annoying.

4:45 “So if you have good timing, and a non-existent self-preservation instinct” 😂 Greatest beginning to any sentence ever

We just not gonna talk about the war crime here? 5:47

I love the cyclops. its absence from Below Zero is one reason I've even yet to beat that one. theres just something to making it your base, loading in down with 2 dozen storage containers (and any thing else you may need) and taking my base anywhere. only thing i need a regular base for is power cell recharging and food/water resupply

Listen, the Prawn Suit may protect you from the creature that can one shot you. But not if he has some biomechanical backup who happens to have a way to forcibly eject you from your Prawn.

One of my greatest tips for beginners he's that when you get Ozzie's distress call scan the bioreactor fragments around it and build one in your base Near a huge coarsl tube you see if you build your base near huge Coral tube you can cut it with a knife to get Coral shards which are able to be put in the bioreactor and the best part is the huge corals you've never disappears so you have Infinit bioreactor fuel

This will definitely be a big help I started saving up money yesterday by helping my dad move some dirt and when I get subnatica I’m definitely coming back and rewatching this video

Having and switching to a spare oxygen tank increases how long you can stay underwater. Using this trick I used the sea-moth to go down 900 meters into the lost river and used 3 of the highest capacity oxygen tanks and med kits to go the rest of the way to the primary containment facility. Having small base built just outside of the QEP (big gun) with a fabricator and storage would also be good to have.

One thing i personally crutch on is the scanner room. I tell all of my friends that are playing Subnautica for the first time "build a scanner room, maxout its range, and build the hud chip ASAP. You will thank me later."

Something that I have noticed about the more aggresive creatures in this game is if you get into a fight with e.g a Stalker and you wound it enough that it tries to escape, if you don't kill it, it will swim towards your lifepod, now scale that up to the Reaper and after two or three such fights, you can have a Reaper swimming arround your lifepod in the supposed 'safe' starting area. This works with all predatory creatures in the game, so be warned about leaving gribblies to swim away from a fight.

Am I the only one who didn’t realize the “secondary entrance” wasn’t the only entrance

With 1300 hours in Subnautica, (Half are AFK) I could say that I know a few thing about this masterpiece of a game. Yet, I didn’t know about the one with the thermal vents. The video was very good, and was on point! Subscribed.

Best way to map is to place 3 beacons, draw a map on a paper and triangulate with the distance from the 3 beacons.

Didn't think I'd encounter anything new but I was unaware of the power priorities. So I'll tell you a trick I picked up ages ago. Near the beginning of the game it's easy to make fire extinguishers and they work like Jets underwater. Much faster than the air bladder if you need to get to the surface fast swim backwards and point it down.

5:50 seeing you chuck all those cuddlefish eggs into the bioreactor made me uncontrollably scrunch my face in a deeply snarling scowl with a horrified whimper at the sametime 😆 This the first time I've ever had such a violent reaction to something in a game... and I regularly watch the channel "Let's Game It Out" which makes this experience all the more surprising to me.

I've been playing subnautica for a very long time and i've got a few of my own tips to share. 1. Leviathans can wander out of their natural spawn locations if you damage one enough to force it to flee or something like a floater moves it out of that area. 2. Subnautica has really cool collision damage with vehicles that you can take advantage of to absolutely annihilate leviathans. The cyclops is your best weapon. You can easily kill a reaper by full speed ramming it with your cyclops around 5-8 times. I do recommend you use a shield upgrade to do this and only activate the shield at the last second before impact to save power. This might not be the safest way to defeat a reaper but its certainly the coolest. I have tested it on ghost leviathans and a sea dragon too and it just takes a few more rams. You'll wanna ram the creature you are targeting, this will cause it to flee a short distance. Then eventually it will aggro back onto you (make sure to go ahead slow while its aggroing back onto you to cool your engine down). Once it aggros you'll want to go to full speed and activate your shield and deactivate it while you collide. If you do this correctly you should only take a few hits and lose around 10% power. 3. If you wanna harvest acid mushrooms or deep shrooms pick them up and knife them away from their cluster to avoid a chain reaction (the chain reaction has a chance of instantly killing you which can be very bad for hardcore runs). 4. Power transmitters get more powerful the more there are in a chain. They start off with terrible range but as you place more this range increases more and more. Keep this in mind when building long power lines. 5. Almost nothing respawns on PC subnautica meaning you can drive species extinct. Keep this in mind when using my cyclops ram strategy. I personally have killed all but 1 of the leviathans on my main hardcore save. 6. Bases don't despawn. No matter what your base won't despawn even when you get far away from it. You can use this to your advantage by dropping items on foundations so they don't clip through the floor. This also makes building reaper cages completely viable since it wont just unload and let them clip through. 7. Yes you can build a reaper cage and it isn't even that hard. All you need is loads of titanium and lithium and a bit of lead. You'll need to build a pretty big foundation (depending on how humane you want the living conditions of your reaper to be) and then you'll want to build a ring of corridors around it. After this build vertical connectors on the straight corridors. They should be at least 5 connectors high. Then put a ceiling of X corridors on it (probably the most expensive part ignoring the reinforcements you'll need.). Make sure to leave an opening for your pet to swim through (you'll need to build this pretty close to where they live) and once they are inside, finish the structure by closing that opening. Now you have a pet reaper! If all is well he shouldn't escape. But he'll be very very loud so you should probably not build your main base too close to it. 8. If you just want to incapacitate a leviathan floaters are your best friend. Just fill your inventory with em and drop them all for the leviathan. If you are lucky they should all target the leviathan. If you are unlucky i'm sure the leviathan doesn't appreciate what you just did. 9. There is green table coral on one of the safe shallows/kelp forest borders. This coral is mostly reserved for the lost river so its just a cool left over thing from development you can find. 10. The bulb zone has been mostly untouched since it was first put into the game. You can find lots of strange things like safe shallows plants and kelp models you see nowhere else in game if you look hard enough. The Bulb zone geyser caves near lifepod 12 also have a lot to see in them and there are some sea crowns at the entrance that you can collect.

Thermal vents can be useful for power for your base, cyclops or PRAWN suit ( if the thermal upgrade is installed). And you also have rig for silent running in the cyclops. If I understand it correctly, it makes it more silent when you a piloting it.

I don't use the Cyclops as a vehicle, I use it more like a mobile base, once I get it as close as possible to the place I wanna go to, I turn off the engine, station it, and completely rely on the sea-moth/prawn-suit to explore, and in areas with more than 2 leviathans prowling like the Lost river, I try to rely even less on my vehicles to avoid drawing their attention.

An obvious, critical bit of info that I just failed to figure out until my 3rd playthrough - the gravity ball. That thing is FANTASTIC for trapping fish, making catching them no trouble (and no risk).

don't tell me I am the only one who saw him doing a war crime at 5:50...

One thing I wished I had known before playing Subnautica for the first time was the notion that I'd only, truly, have this one moment to FULLY enjoy the game. I've spent many hours since that first play through. But damn, I too wish I could recapture that first time. This is one game you DON'T want to have spoiled!

One thing that I haven’t seen mentioned in the comments or the video is that reefbacks can provide a good source of copper before getting the drill arm. Breaking the glowing barnacles on their back gives you copper and sometimes silver. Way more reliable than banking on limestone outcrops, in my opinion.

Some really good advice, particularly with the beacon and power. Not sure swimming into a vent to collect fish, is really a good idea generally. The thing I wish I had known was that you don't need to pilot the Cyclops and you don't need the prawn suit at all. As long as you collect as many ion cubes as possible, are prepared to swim to the Alien thermal plant and primary containment facility to activate the Alien Arches (which means you will encounter the sea dragon).

Only got Subnautica a couple of weeks ago, and these kind of videos have really helped me survive, though I figured out the first tip myself, I used the destroyed lifepods as beacons as well simply because they are always available to be used as nav points.

WHY?!?? bro… he put cuddle fish in the bioreactor😭

The surviving when your screen is blacking out is one of the best experiences ever

Found this very helpful just now, thanks for taking the time to make your videos! I see to watch them all over time!

6:25 i thought this was the main entrance

An other tip for stalker teeth is to build your base near their spawn and build anscanning room. They pluck those camera orbs out of their housing and shed teeth like nobodies business. Also that secondary entrance to the aurora I always thought it was the main one haha. xD Been cheeky all this time.

I'm gonna share something helpful of my own. With a stasis gun, a thermoblade, and some patience, you can kill Reaper Leviathans. They do not respawn. Shoot them in the head with the stasis gun, then stabby-stabby ftw. You'll have to repeat the process a few times. Re-fire the stasis gun when the bubble starts to shrink. When the jerk goes belly-up take a photo! You're a badass!

I started playing in the Beta and I really miss the excitement of exploring the world and waiting for new content to drop. This was one of the best games ever, especially if you got in early.

this was a really well made video, I wasn't expecting it to come from a channel with only a 1000 subs. solid effort and, well yeah. 10/10 video and information.

For number 7 I didn't realize that there was need for the cannon. I always just followed the other path in

Your "secondary entrance" into the Aurora is actually the primary entrance as the PDA's and scripts are ment to be triggered from that path.

One piece of info I wish I the first time was just how valuable those nutrition bars were. I ate them as they came along, but as I went deeper food became harder to collect and even when I did it was always fish or farmed goods, things that took up more inventory space than the nutri bars.

You edit really well and the video was very interesting. Your videos really deserve to get more attention. It was really fun to watch, hope there's coming more to see!

Tip 10 stasis rifle

One of the things I think are the most important are the scan rooms and the microchip that allows you to see the marks in your screen, outside of the scan room. Instead of building bases in key biomes full of resources such as the lost river or the lava zone, or even those glowing mushroom caves, I build scan rooms and use them as bases, because they are far more useful! Great video!!

Of note regarding #6, Power Priority, keep in mind it also applies regarding the first power source connected when loading the game. Thermal generators that relay power back to your base from a distance will typically be disconnected from it when you first load your save, and then connect after a couple seconds. This causes the thermal generators to be considered as the last power source connected to your base, meaning you should probably always consider them to be the last power source the game will use unless your base is right next to the thermal vent.

The video editing is very good! Hope your videos get way more attention! I enjoyed this

Dude I freaking loved your video, the way you talk, the edition and the music, keep up the great work!

these tips are legitimately amazing and useful i wish i knew these a little earlier into my playthrough.

Great video! Glad KZfaq recommend your channel! Subnautica never gets old for me even after the 6th finished save

Some nice tips, but most of them I knew about. Didn't know of the cooked fish at the bottom of the heat vents though. Also didn't know of the power priority. Some more of my own for the specific sections: Stalker Teeth = The more of the metal bits you give them, the faster they lose teeth. Just make sure to have them do the deed where you can easily spot the teeth. The teeth can blend into the terrain a lot of the time so you might find them in hard to see spots. After It Explodes = I always thought the blocked off entrance was the secret entrance. Because you often had to get the propulsion gun parts from inside the Aurora, to be able to exit from that route. Reapers = Some notes: -> The gas torpedoes are particularly useful against reapers, though collecting the gas nodules is a pain in the booty hole. -> Getting out fast and shooting them with a stasis rifle, and getting back in your sea moth can be a great way to escape. Reapers/Cyclops = Most of the time turning off the engine isn't sufficient. Because if you wandered into their "home" and they were patrolling on the far side and then spots you, they'll hang around you for quite some time... like I did this tactic once, and it took me 40 minutes of slow inching my way out and turning off the engine to avoid getting destroyed. However, there are some ways of handling reapers with the cyclops that you didn't mention. Namely: -> Going stealth mode with the engines to sneak away, but also try to get to the surface. Reapers are more inclined to stay down 300 meters or so, and thus it takes them longer to get to you if they do decide to go after you again. -> Depending on how close you are to a safer region, you could go to maximum speed and try to outrun them. -> Depending on tech available, the cyclops shield can take a beating, especially if you routinely swap out power cells at bases that recharge them. The decoys are extremely useful especially in the lava zone. Drop a decoy and go to max speed. -> Also piloting the cyclops I find is easier in third person, from one of the camera mounts. When in open spaces, i do first person, but in tight spaces or combat, I go third person.

One trick I learned is that if a biome is to deep for solar power, particularly for a Scanner Base, you can construct a series of I connectors until you reach around 170-150 Meters. You will be able to build on top of the connectors. Once your Scanner Base is constructed, you can deconstruct the connectors to salvage Titanium and the Scanner Base will remain hovering in the middle of the deep water.

A great set of FYIs. I knew most of them. A couple I did not. Thanks for putting on the time and effort. 😁👍

Great video! I didn’t know about that with stalker tooth!😄

This kinda helped even tho im playing the whole game a second time

With number 10 you also could jump from the tip of one of the mountains from the other island and most likely just survive if at full health 👍

this was EXTREMLY HELPFUL thankyou

Did you just stick 16 cuddlefish eggs into your bioreactor? YOU MONSTER!!

I’ve been using the auroras 2nd entrance this entire time and thought it was the only way to enter

Fun fact: Reaper leviathan's scream is actually a form of sonar. This means that they can use it to find you. This also means that submarine warfare spotting/ stealth tactics apply to them. When in a Cyclops, get as close to the sea floor as possible, and engage silent running. The reapers echolocation won't be able to distinguish you from the sea floor. The same works with the seamoth.

I just started playing Subnautica below zero and you helped me a lot with this video. Thank you for that Sir! Cheers from Poland 🍻

Popped up on my recommended one day. Definitely deserves a subscription.

Great video, just subbed. Been having a ton of fun re-playing the game recently after the first time I played it about 3 years ago, added about 40 mods this time too haha

Im amazed by the pure quality of your videos, when i saw it i thought you had millions of subscribers , but no you only have just below 500, so i think you should have atleast 1M subs! Also, these tips helped me alot! So im definitely going to subscribe to you!

One of my absolute favorite games of all time! I didn't know about the stalker tooth tip and the different percentages of chance for drops from the wreckage peices! Thanks for sharing and great video!😃🤘

Nice to see a fresh guide 😊

A tip i learned from building a giant habitat that spans almost half the world map and growing. You get the most real-estate out of the available materials by making everything out of glass that you can and making reinforcements out of titanium, lead, and lithium. Lithium is easily available in unlimited supply by following the crawler leviathans around and breaking up the rocks they stir up. If you are building a giant habitat, a good place for the reinforcements is in the virtical passage ways. Atm my habitat is around 1500m long by 600m wide by 300m tall yet still has a hull strength of around 300 by following this principle.

for reapers, all i really need is just an ability to stun it, a seamoth and a knife just stun the reaper, stab it 100 times and enter the seamoth to regen oxygen, that's basically how you can kill it an alternate option i've seen is to stun it and then drop as much poisonous gas into its face as possible

Was worried about watching this after constantly getting it recommended to me for fear is spoilers, but luckily I did! Learned a few things and spoiler free from what I've played through so far. Great vid

I just found this game. I’ve been enjoying it, but I’m also having to watch videos to figure it out. Very helpful information! Thanks!

one thing I have found that has made navigating much easier is tagging all the wrecks by name, then using that plus a map w/wrecks on your second screen to navigate

The only disappointing part of this video, the cuddlefish being shoved into the bioreactor 😢

Only just started to get interested in Subnautica and you got me even more interested and excited to play it. And you became my first Subnautica youtuber to subscribe to you are a great youtube creator and should continue to make content ❤

Its amazing that you had under 400 subs 2 months ago but now over 5k its cool to see you progress so fast

Like actually this was a great video and was greatly made Btw going with cyclops with the slowest engine might help with your life since it doesnt create much noice, ofcourse if ur attacked then turn it off

Unknown opinion Making the Cyclops go slower also makes less noise Or if you have the Silent running upgrade turn it on Decoys also work but i only rarely use them since i dont care about speed i use the cyclops with seamoth if near a surface with the prawn when going into a dangerous area.

I've only recently discovered you and I'm really enjoying the content! I have not long finished my first-ever playthrough of Subnautica, wish I had known these tips beforehand lol! But I'll definitely keep them in mind when I replay!

I only have two tips: Swim Charge Fins + Seaglide = infinite battery for Seaglide. One Seamoth Solar Charger = charge a power cell 0-100% in 1 minute 40 seconds while travelling, down to 150 meters, as opposed to 6 minutes in a static power cell charger. Use 4, and recharge one power cell in 25 seconds.

Also suggest making the alien containment and getting Reginalds and Oculus. Reginalds are the best food option for fish and the Oculus is the best for the bio fuel.

Congratulations on 885 subs

Hey nice video bud. You actually knew things I wasn’t aware of. Good luck with growing your channel. 🍺

Thanks for the Stalker tooth and Power tips!!

1 thing that i wish i knew is to avoid ghost leviathans when you're in the cyclops because they push it around and will not stop chasing until you get like 500m away and they will even chase you in the lava zone to just push the cyclops

It seems in the last big update they made adjustments to the position of the boxes to make it much harder to jump over the barrier into the Aurora. Also seems like jumping from the ledge above near the fire area is harder now, so it seems they really want you to make the propulsion cannon to get in. I think it took me a few playthroughs to realize there are enough nickel chunks around to do your upgrades without needing to mine for them with the prawn suit, you just have to keep an eye out for them on the walls in the lost river areas. After you know the map really well it means you can get all the way to the power generation facility without ever building a prawn suit or cyclops, just a seamoth and seagluide will get you there. The real challenge becomes getting there with only one oxygen tank, now that 900 meters is half way down the cove tree area that has become slightly easier.

Really helpful, thank you! About 17 hours into the game. Awesome so far!

That metal salvage tip explains a lot for me. Thank you for the tip
