And the fact that the Peepers are the reason why there's still life on 4546B (before the cure is spread). A small creature, that probably no one would thought to have a job that big. This game will always amaze me.

@@localcultist wait, what exactly did the Peepers do?

@@anrper6095 The Peepers are responsible for distributing the enzyme 42 produced by her to the rest of the crater, helping stave off the infection for a while and thus are responsible for why the ecosystem of the crater didn't fully succumb tothe infection up until now (and it can be assumed they continue to do so with the enzymes produced by the hatchlings). You can even find some Peepers leaving behind trails of it in the game and scan them to gain this information (along with a lot of foreshadowing from various scan logs and PDA dialogues relating to Peepers and other stuff), plus youcan use those Peepers to cure infected creatures around the crater by letting carnivores eat them or - if not dealing with a carnivore or if you just don't want to kill the adorable Peeper - just leaving them in the vicinity of an infected creature, they will purposefully try to give the enzymetotheinfected creature - enough enzyme from enough Peepers and the creature will be cured, at least according to some research on the wiki and Reddit.

@@hrd5415 really? u can actually use these peepers to cure sick creatures?? does anyone have a video showing that???

@@hrd5415 Just to clarify the enzyme's from the Sea Emperor were breaking down so they were no longer becoming effective at combatting the infection, by the time you crash on the planet because of the gun the enzyme's being distributed by the Peepers wouldn't be able to fully cure any infected animals only suppress the symptoms for a while mean that if the Sea Emperor died before the eggs were hatched then 4546B would have been doomed as all life would have eventually died off and because of the containment gun still being active any ships that flew too close would have just added to the planet's death toll.

Not the big octopus like one near the start area

Their very smart and aware thats why

Sea emperor is on too of the chain

Yes Reefbacks and Sea Treaders are defo genocidal

The reefbacks are peaceful, and some other ones

I was setting up a solar panel at night when it first happened to me. Freaked me the hell out

I was upgrading my knife at a modification station

I was in the void. I didn't know what was out there but one of my friends told me that it was "interesting and fun" there. I spent most of the game thinking t it was the ghost leviathans that sent the message.

When she said "I wonder what it will be like, to fall asleep and never wake up" that was heart breaking

@@lwdrd agreed

​@@lwdrd Yeah, I alsp realy like how they wrote her character as an sentient being capable of thinking about their mortality while also not makig her "super smart alien" type of character, she is simply an sea creature with human-like level of sapience and an absoulutley beautyful soul, I havent cried for anyone for a long time, especialy for fictional characters, but Sea Emperor always pulls on my hearth strings 🥺

Imagine being reincarnated as a New Yorker. Sends chills down my spine just thinking about it

@@Poopshit420 She's a leviathan, not a monster. 😟

It's actually quite emotional

That means she is alive ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It ties in beautifully with LOTR lore. Galadriel had always been fair...and an elf (who was supposed to be the best of their kind) came to her three times demanding a lock of hair but, sensing his nature, she refused him as unworthy. Then Gimli comes along...a dwarf, who's race had been waring with the elves and so different from them. He is absolutely smitten with her and she can feel his truly good nature...so, when the party leaves and she turns to him to ask what gift he would have of her he simply and tenderly asks for a lock of her hair and she gives him 3, one each to symbolize the 3 times the unworthy elf had asked. Legolas knew this and even in the film can be see beaming at his short friend for his worthiness.

something that personally added to my expirience in this game was that when i first played it i didnn't know vey good english, and so there were quotes like this that i was analysing as if it's something deep and philoshophical, while what it actually means is very simple

I think that playing was also something far deeper. She is telepathic, so perhaps by playing with them she also imparted all the knowledge and wisdom of their species before passing on. This would give the babies a better chance at survival since now they have hundred if not thousands of years of experience to draw on mentally.

Ok, that’s flipping adorable

IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING

FUUCKKK

I’m gonna cryyyy

I think the architects just couldn't hear her

Power of friendship

don't blame them though. they weren't going to let their only test subjects and hope for the cure just run amok, they had no opportunities to try again and so they had to contain it.

the architects could not hear her due to thier bodies being replaced with machine bodies rather than organic

I don’t get why people always take that “they couldn’t hear me” so selectively literal, even people like the Degasi survivors had visions from her yet they could not hear her messages either, the only one remotely close was the son. I don’t think it has anything to do with them being part robotic, I just think that they simply ignored her pleas because they were forcing nature to their bidding, killing one of her offspring in their experiments, expecting her to give in the rest of their young to fix the disease THEY brought into the planet they where exploiting, and in the case of failure they where willing to destroy the entire planet and when that didn’t work they put the darned space gun to blast off anyone that came near the planet, without any obvious warning to prevent needless deaths For all means and purposes, the Architects are the villains of the story.

Ironic isn't it, how something so dangerous or frightening can yet be so beautiful.

Even with the gun deactivated we still have the g.d.s (global defense shield)to find and deactivate for good but besides that we are in the clear

Michael Brown why was the hardest part leaving...

Well 3 things 1. The gun 2. The materials to make a rocket are scarce 3.the shield somehow active on the planet even to we escaped before

@@evmoore22 the GDS is only added in Subnautica Below Zero. But here we're not talking about the technical side of things, not about the GDS, not the material collecting, not the Gun. It's about the attachment we created with the planet that makes it hard to leave.

TheGamePlayers The full release came out a month or two ago. Probably the best survival game out there at the moment

Sea emperors ma girl

as someone who doesn't play, only watch, it is very interesting

You should get it it’s very fun

ikr

So you can basically meet her kids?

@@user-ol7bt4wp1j yes!

Lies

@@Sassy_Witch not lying dude, when you get the antidote you can see her babies grown up, not in the firsr place you saw them, but elsewhere

Oh yah. This sort of majesty is how religions get started. Human survivor may have returned to the stars but he took his savior with him, in his heart.

I couldn’t have described it better myself. It’s terrifying, and I was so scared, but I had such a good time, haha! I’d recommend giving it a go…I think it’s worth it, even with all the sadness.

"It breaks your heart" that you never played a game?😂its not even €50, go play it then tf😂😂

@@koningmariskaa ma'am. most of work 40+ hours a fucking week and live paycheck to paycheck. mind sparing some money then if its THAT urgent?

@@pey_chan i got similar treatment on steam, apparently people doesn't realize some part of the world have

anyway, you only met her late game, close to ending the game, about 5-10% portion of the game but her moment of passing away was sad as hell, almost shed a tear seeing her just laying down there

I think it's an intentional reference.

@@ordoreductor983 there's some other similarities to that same book and Subnautica, such as a line in the book stating you can "Travel the Galaxy for less than thirty Alterrian dollars a day" The pda also states that dolphins are extinct. In the book, dolphins had abandoned earth , leaving one last message; "So Long, and thanks for all the fish"

Keep this at 42 y’all

What's the book called?

@@MausOfTheHouse I think it’s “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams

peepers be recording the hatchment for the quality content

Well, they're called peepers for a reason

Is it because all the tears from the players made it saltier?

@@cosmicboi1650 yes

@@lepeepersauvage it was pretty sad ngl

@@cosmicboi1650 honestly? Saddest moment in Subnautica with leaving the planet, I would love if we could speak to her, or even save her

@@lepeepersauvage oh same here, I was heartbroken when she died

Considering she lives like... 1700 feet deep or something, that area is pretty shallow I suppose, especially for something that big

Plus this is a theory but I think sea emperor's are able to calm down aggressive animals so they aren't attacked.

7 reapers? also, sea emperors just ignore reapers because they can't do harm to them

@Xavier Dapro Leviathans are typically classed by size/whatever and not a relationship in genetics, not sure though. (Edit: Either way they probably are stronger than they look.)

@@TheFrontLines955 i mean yes there was a stalker and a boneshark passive, also some other stuff in the containment so yeah, enzyme 42 is probably also a calming agent when concentrated around the leviathan, may work on reapers too... ...wait can i adopt the smol emperors

this is probably the most beautiful game i've ever seen, not only in graphics but also the story and the end, subnautica is a true masterpiece if you ask me this end was really REALLY beautiful and emotional

"Fairwell friend"

She believes in wrong thing . Reincarnation doesnt exist

@@Andrew-ch3xj probably not, but ecosystem is real. she is not talking about literal reincarnation. she is talking about how her death is not in vein. she talks about how she will be food for smaller creatures to survive and thrive. about her molecules turning into sand in millions of years. about how in death she is returning to the ocean that birthed ger

It's my favorite line in any game I've ever played.

The protector queen

Look like praying mantis

Queens

ya

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought of that XD

not all creatures found the gargantuan leviathan was about 6x the size of the sea emperor

​@@Liam-eq3pnits dead.

​@@Soldier-po9tpis it dead or to big to stay in the crater

here just imagine her voice, "what is a wave with out an ocean, a beginning without an end, they are different but they go together, now you fly among the stars, and i fall among the sand, we are different but we go together."

Yeah thats my fav part

How do I get the messages from her

@@chickennugget3953 by progressing through the game, its moreso a time based thing but you can get them by craft8ng tablets, going closer to her, going to islands ect.

Not only did she not deserve it, but she wasn’t bothered by it

And sadness.

Ok this is actually extremely wholesome, and I think it's super sweet and brave of you that your love for your hoverfish was so strong, so powerful that you conquered your crippling fear of what lies in the ocean, solely to go heal their sickness. I know it's only a game, but if your heart can be that strong in reality as it was here, then you've already beaten a lot of us in life, and you're much stronger than you might know. You should be proud of yourself, because I know I am, good on you!

Just means we gotta fire up the Doom Eternal music and start ripping and tearing some reapers

@@rune.theocracy Good thing they don't respawn after being killed :)

They have the ability to make nearby creatures passive! They do that with the bone sharks in the container the sea emperor is held

If they can make bone sharks passive they can make anything passive

I had the same thought, the next thought was, "I'll be damned if I'm going to let that happen." and, with stasis rifle in one hand, a knife in the other and my trusty prawn suit with drill and hook, I hunted down the reapers nearest to the portal, and made damn sure those little emperors had a chance at life. As peaceful as she was, I hope their mother forgave me for that slaughter.

Well duh ur only under like 50 m of water

no, Its down at 1500 meters
