"So you wanna go to the lost riv-" *Sees Ghost leviathan* "Nope, I don't"

The music for these videos is so pleasant compared to the terror I feel when actually playing this game. My anxiety thanks you.

“I don’t think you’ll get your Cyclops in here” “Hold my filtered water”

Out of all of these entrances, the bulb zone entrance is easily my favorite due to the amount of space for a cyclops and a very nearby entrance to the inactive lava zone

12:19 We’ll be encountering crabsquids, warpers, ampeels, bonesharks, *Relaxing music starts playing*

One tip I have is when you’re in a place where you have to cut your headlights to avoid attracting predators, get and use the Seamoth Sonar Upgrade. It maps out the terrain and shows creatures you might not have seen yet in the distance.

if you remember me I am the guy that lost its sea moth during the lost river preparation guide vid to a ghost leviathan well I made my sea moth again went to the degasi base and got all the stuff yaaay now this vid will help me go in the lost river thanks to you (plus your editing skills have got a lot better)

Fitting the cyclops through the blood kelp trench has been fun, but I never bothered to seek out alternative LR entrances until now

I don't even play Subnautica, but I watch these videos because Granddaddy Gamer is that awesome

i like how straight forward this video is, to the point and no extra content or commentary very nice

Thank you so much!!! I can’t even begin to describe how helpful this is! Every other video is confusing, but yours at straight to the point, beginner friendly, and have clear concise directions. Thank you for the videos! Keep up the good work 👍

a power cell charger fragments video would be cool

Im honestly just looking for the one in the most shallow area farthest from void lmao, I'm terrified of steep drops in water. Im gonna try the blood kelp one. I remember looking for the one in the Bulb zone and finding the underwater islands and oh boy, I HATED that

very useful! thank you! i set up my base in the bulb zone and, having only encountered the deep grand reef entrance in person, i was dreading having to go nearly 2 kilometers every time. it’s great to know there is an alternative entrance so close to me!

I strongly recommend the blood kelp trench, safe travel to and from and it's the only entrance you can reliably skip past every single ghost leviathan (the one by the gargantuan skeleton won't see you if you take the Western path and hug the Northern wall). People say it's too narrow but it's really fine, you just need to not rely on the main window and use your outer cameras (the one under the cyclops gives the best 360 view imo).

Last night I encountered a ghost leviathan leaving the LR via the Bulb zone not far from enttance/exit. Lots of room for the cyclops but really dark.

Started playing Subnautica for the first time ever a couple weeks back, and your videos have been a godsend. 💜🤗💜

My screen has a crack and it made my think you were casually crossing through mushroom forest at 36% bull integrity 😂 ANXIETY.

Thank you. Great vids, helped me out a lot. It’s so easy just to get lost and all turned around down here and die! never mind the nasty critters here. One trick I’ve leaned tho, if you don’t want to build another vehicle or go back to get your vehicle, just quit game with out saving, start it again and you’ll be back at base with vehicle there as well. You will half to travel back but at least you got your vehicle in one piece to explore again without having to build another one

Ty!!! Got my 'clops to the first point, beacon in place, game saved... ...and now it's time to meet the Lost River. Best part of the game is right now. Thanks again. Subbed.

"i dont think you can get a cyclops through this one" thats literally the first entrance i found and the one i've been using.... thank you for showing me easier paths!

I kinda thought ghosts to be easier to avoid than reapers tbh. Just stay relatively out of their way and that's it. Whereas crossing the dunes I often found myself being attacked by reapers most of the time, even if I didn't see any of them before crossing from the western blood kelp entrance to the pod (maybe making a slight turn to the seatreader zone)

Great guide on how to find the entrances. You included all the relevant information. And you have a nice voice.

This helped me know each exit and which one is the safest to go out of.

This is the most complete guide that I have seen so far, good video

I wanted to build a base right on an entrance to the lost river but for some reason decided the north blood kelp was too scary. I ended up building a base in the blood kelp trench right above the drop off to the river. I find that the trench isn’t too bad to navigate with the Cyclops as long as you turn around before entering it.

Remember to keep in mind that you can also glitch through through the ground with any lip that can prevent a mobile vehicle bay from floating to the surface and climb into the rock. Requires you to know where the precursor bases are or have the stuff to make a base and power it to stay down there for a reasonable amount of time, or a planter with brain coral. It's a little challenging to get used to but if you do it correctly you can get anywhere in the game with only a seamoth. BTW you will need to bring another mobile vehicle bay with you if you aren't going to use an intended way to leave, otherwise your kinda screwed, also use a armored dive suit if you use this to go to the lava zones and a couple med kits

Thanks a lot for this vid!!! The path at 4:00 is best for my cyclops because the way I was doing it before was the most stressful traveling I ever did in this game 😭 This made it so much easier!

Super helpful thanks! I built a base 500m from the entrance to the bulb zone one without knowing it!

Thank you this video helped me find all of the entrances to the lost river.

Dang this is actually a helpful video to to get into the lost river. Edit: I searched so many videos trying to find a good entrance but this is pretty much the only video that actually showed how to do it.

The bulb zone entrance is just a faster way to get to the primary contentment facility but I saw both sea dragon while I have my dev commands on to test stuff

Thanks for the great vids. They’re just enough content without getting into spoilers, and when there are, the spoiler warning ahead of time is appreciated.

thanks gdg! needed this.

hey thanks this was really helpful i couldn't figure how to get my cyclops down to the lost river much appreciated

Ice played the game since early access and always thought the grand reef and blood kelpnwhere the only enterances, really cool!

I really like the lost river entrance near Proposed Degasi Base (500m) that takes you through the Grand Reef. I almost NEVER run into baddies, and I never get lost. I really wanna find the Bulb Zone entrance though. It's a bit more dangerous, but it's the widest opening for the cyclops.

I actually randomly found one of the holes believe it or not. I was marking one of the blood kelp zones then i realized that there was a steep drop. So with my seaglide i went down, like WAYYYYYY down. Dangerously down infact that i found a lost river entrance. I took that entrance most of the time since then snd now I've finished the game :d

Once again your being helpful! You didnt have to help but your very nice so you will! Thank you i appriciate your help, keep it up!

Dont forget to tell your friends about this amazing guy & his videos!

You were really helpful❤️ You helped me finish this great video game... One of my favorites. I swear I couldn't finish it but now I'll succeed! ❤️❤️😘😘😘💕💕💕💖💖😍😍

I had no clue you could get there from the Deep Grand Reef! Your videos are so informative!!

This is the best lost river tutorial Great job man 👍

Thanks for the guide GDG. Actually made it there by mistake through the first entrance after the stream when you told me how to get to the blood kelp trench. Almost destroyed my seamoth bumping through the ceiling being chased by crabsquids🤕

Thanks, helped me a lot!

You have no idea how much I needed this, story below (I just finished experiencing it too): During a earlier session I was in the lost River when I realized I needed to get a orange tablet for something. I was being dumb not bringing food and continued to explore deeper with only my Seamoth as at the time, I didn’t unlock the Cyclopes. I died to starvation. Attempt after attempt I tried to dive to get the Seamoth I named Dezaos. I tried everything as this specific ship had upgrades I wouldn’t dare let destroyed. Finally, I decide to look for the final hull piece and found it near the mushroom trees . I was able to build the Cyclopes but struggled to find an entrance until I found this video and copied it with the Cyclopes. I saw my Seamoth in the distance! I said “Calloo Callay” as I finally reunited with the Seamoth and head back home. Adventuring to the Lost River another day, better prepared. Authors note: Yes, I am using Alice in wonderland in that last part, recently watched it.

Awesome video, thank you! On a technical note, where you say "Northeast, East" I'm pretty sure it should be "East-Northeast". I believe the common directional notations are, going clockwise: North, North-Northeast, Northeast, East-Northeast, East, East-Southeast, Southeast, South-Southeast, South, and so forth, giving us 16 points on the compass. I'm on Xbox, so coordinates aren't available to me. All my notes are: 'Wreck @ 347m ESE of 'Fart Base', 1,233m N - 1°E of Smurf Base bring Laser Cutter'.

There's another entrance to the lost river in the blood kelp trench that takes you to the bones field corridor I believe. I built my base just above the trench and LR entrance. It was just big enough for my cyclops with my subpar piloting abilities

wow i put my base in the exact same location. it's a good spot too. it's close to the safe shallows, the grassy plains, the kelp forest areas and there's a jellyshroom cave entrance really close. and as you can see in the video if you go south a bit you can reach the grand reef pretty easily.

Can u make a guide on alien bases This guide helped me a lot

I always used to go with the cyclops through the deep grand reef in order to get to the degasi base, but now I might change it to the bulb zone XD

Just started playing his game... Didn't start watching KZfaq till I played 16 hours (highly recommend I enjoyed the game a lot more.) Anyways.. What I enjoy about this game there isn't only 1 path. Way before evening getting my seaglide I ventured near the 1st entrance. I placed pipes till 200m but never really saw much with my 150sec oxygen. But that was a great experiencie to venture into the unknown

There's a second entrance in the bloodkelp Ravine that leads to an area very similar looking to the bulb zone entrance.

that subscribe woosh scared the life out of me

The Lost River is actually super peaceful if you take out the juvenile ghost leviathans--they don't respawn. They also don't seem to regenerate HP so you don't need to kill them in one sitting if you have to high tail it back to a base for first aid. My first kill took a few trips. The second was a lot easier and I got it done in one. I don't know if my strategy is a "good" one, but it got the job done--also not sure if this would be the best strategy against any of the full size leviathans "in the wild", but here it is. I started with a prawn suit, fully charged stasis rifle, thermal knife, and a lot of patience. I positioned the prawn suit in a spot where I could easily see the ghost leviathan and in its zone of attack, but where it would limit some of it's angles on me. From there what worked best was waiting for the leviathan to get into a game of chicken with you. When he turns and divebombs and heads STRAIGHT towards you--jump out of your prawnsuit--blast him IN THE FACE with the stasis rifle--it won't work anywhere except his head. Once you have that, immediately switch to your thermal knife and HACK AWAY ON HIS HEAD as many times as that stasis bubble allows you to---then book it back to your prawn suit. Repeat as many times as necessary until you vanquish the vile beast. Scan it before its body dissolves in the brine and then drill resources in peace to your heart's content.

thx for the help i have a base in the bulb zone but i did not know there was an entrance and I had to go to the north east blood kelp

God finally a channel that cares about their subscribers and makes good fawking tutorials

discovered lost river entrance (northern blood kelp today) - there I found alien entrance behind the waterfall and ghost leviatan tried to kill me through the gate between water and air so I coud scan him easily because he was stuck :-D can't wait to discover whole area

thanks mr navigator! 😆cheers ✌

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would've loved this approach: "Today, we're going to tell you what's the most and least exciting entrances to the lost river. I want to make sure the money you spent on this game is well-spent, so no easy trips down to the lost deeps."

9:06 "I really don't think you're gonna get your cyclops through this hole" I would like to agree, I used to only use that entrance and boy was it annoying

There's a fifth entrance just to the left around the corner from the one you showed in the blood trench, it's slightly easier to fit the cyclops. Btw, you can use all the entrances with the cyclops, just the grand reef and the north kelp are a huge pain in the butt expecially the north blood kelp with the leviathan still alive (stupid glitchy trees)

thanks man

Nice tutorial, thx (:

(03:25) i normally take other route to get to that entrance. I go to Life Pod 17 and just after you get there just continue in the same direction and you will get in to a large rift were you can see the blood kelp then you just need to go down thru the right side of the rift and you eventually will get on to the same spot.

Awesome content

The bulb zone entrance is the best for the cyclops, is just so big

i really like the entrance attached to the sparse reef

Oh you can totally get your cyclops into the lost river from the Degassi Base side. There is a specific path to get into the degassi cave and, its a TIGHT FIT but you can JUST make it. BRING PLENTY OF EXTENGUISHERS IF YOU ARENT SURE ABOUT YOIR PILOTING

For people who don’t have zero point the blood kelp trench entrance is three clicks west of the giant coral tube

THX A LOT

I don't know if you're still doing Subnautica videos, but if you do, I think it would be really helpful if you did a few sonar pings periodically to show the topography more clearly. I don't know if it's my device, but a lot of the Subnautica videos I've seen are really dark and hard to see. Just a thought! Stay awesome.

Really good content, you somehow make it entertaining to watch tho im not using it as an tutorial just entertainment.

oh lord, thanks i literally got saved by this tutorial (my cyclops got destroyed twice)

Thanks. I was trying to get my Cyclops through a forest. I was thinking there must be an easier way without trashing the sub.

that notification bell scared me more than anything else at 3:45 lol

Thanks I was about to take my submarine to the mountains enterance not knowing there's a big enough enterance in the koosh zone

Thanks! Really needed directions to the final digasi (don't know if I spelled it right) seabase so I could get a cuddlefish 😆 I'm subscribing to u

the northern blood kelp zone was the first place I went to get the lost river and I found the ghost Leviathan just before and I got so scared I scanned it and realized how big it is

Underrated

thank youuuu

Thank you so much, I got MK1 depth for my Prawn but I hate the prawn suit and only use it for farming My seamoth got into a very serious relationship with the Ghost leviathan down there and I barely escaped with 5 hp on it I installed perimeter defense system and just antagonise sand sharks lmao

Haha wow, at 9:00 your base is in the same spot as mine, the moonpool is in the same spot, and it's almost the same layout as well...literally!!!

The second cave entrance is my favorite.

funny how you were saying to skirt around the edge of the dunes to avoid the reapers, but I've been hunting them ever since I got the stasis rifle. All that just because they destroyed a seamoth

Bruh all your other vids are helpful but this video no matter what I did I could not I Find it but your vids are still amazing so keep up the good work

thanks

Late but fun fact, there is an entrance nearby the grand reef lost river one that takes you pretty much through the lost river and takes you inside of the one of the lava zones

One time I entered through the south blood kelp, exited through the grand reef, corrected my mistake and tried to head to the entrance I went through and came out the north blood-kelp biome

I found an opening in the deep grand reef that was huge, went through it a few times but for some reason I've just completely lost it and can't remember where it is. Haven't found anything big enough for the cyclops since

Tysm I found it before I watched this but I forgot a beacon and forgot where it was

I just killed the ghost at the gargantuan skeleton and I feel so proud of myself I'm literally shaking omggggg

About the grand rift entrance, if you go too far you might find a ghost leviathan in your face, so make sure to dunk in time

If you feel like it bring your cyclops and then bring your prawn to and kill off the ghost leviathan at the 4th one

I was using the entrance i the northern blood kelp with the cyclops, that was the one one I found without a guide that could fit it. All went okay, I got around the leviathan and went to the alien arch... which I shouldn't have done because here it was super hard to turn the cyclops around and the leviathan decided to repeatedly headbutt my cyclops and me whenever I tried to get out to get a look at the arch. I somehow managed to escape and fix the (close to explosion) cyclops. I just went straight for the entrance again where I came in. I dont know how and why but suddenly when I arrived at the cave entrance there were 3(!!!) ghost leviathans there and a crab squid who also wasn't there before. the leviathans quickly dispersed and only one stayed to harass me. I chalk it up to a very weird bug since I never saw leviathans at the entrance before. or is this kinda thing automated once you go in to the lost river that whenever you manage to come out the first time again, 3 leviathans are waiting for you?

your the best

The blood kelp entrance I was there just last night, the trench, "You're required to maneuver straight down this trench until you come to this point," oh sorry wrong trench run lol

The bulb zone is so peaceful i love it

I tried looking for the second lost river entrance with my cyclops, ended up at the void and somehow avoided a run in with a ghost leviathan
