I still think they should have another life pod signal leading out of the map and just going down, implying the Ghost Leviathans dragged the pod all the way to the bottom.

PDA: “The dead zone only hosts 2 kinds of life. Microscopic, and Leviathan Class.” Going by that, the PDA is specific enough to mention “Leviathan Class” not just “Ghost Leviathans” which could potentially mean that there’s more creatures out there even bigger than the creatures in the crater. With all the space huge creatures could flourish.

I got this game and I realized it was way scarier than I thought

The Aurora wasn't a terraforming ship, it was set to install a phase gate (a device that allows ships to travel faster than light) on the edge of known space. Along the way, it was set to look for possible survivors of the Degasi ship, another Alterra vessel which had a similar mission to the Aurora, and also got shot down by the Quarantine enforcement platform. The Aurora was on course to land on the crater near the last known location of the Degasi when it got shot down, that's why it landed on the crater and not in the void.

You know what would be scarier? "What if the planet was just ocean for miles down"

10:19 Just seeing that zoom-out shot and seeing how small even the Ghost Leviathans are against the endless, black void...it makes the imagination go wild for the possibility of even bigger creatures even deeper below. Perhaps bigger than the Aurora.

3:30 "These guys are the only things that exist down here." Microorganisms: Am I a joke to you!?

If it landed In the dead zone the people that died got lucky

So, I'd imagine that the Aurora crashing here wasn't entirely due to chance. The Aurora is a terraforming vessel, which likely has long-range scanners that saw this near-surface landmass. If it were to land anywhere on 4546B, it would be here.

Subnautica with the major change that the Aurora Sank instead of lucking out on top of everyone's favourite 4km square volcano: -Player would probably start IN the Aurora. -Due to advanced technology of ship and sheer size/integrity of ship large sections would probably still be intact. -Some sections could remain powered while overall the ship is slowly taking on water as automated systems respond to the disaster, sealing off bulkheads and damage responsive shields gradually failing against water pressure and maintaining function against the sheer size of external damage caused by the quarantine platform. -This would create a race against time scenario where the player has to salvage various parts of the Aurora and objects/items within it for the player to repair/maintain crucial systems whilst fabricating enough supplies to survive. -Eventually after fixing enough critical aspects of the Aurora (life support, support reactors, shielding system, maybe repairing the main reactor like in the main game, albeit before it goes critical), the player eventually repairs the main computer, enabling the Aurora to recognise the situation it is in, direct the player to repair two more systems: fluid pumps and hardlight shields, which would purge the Aurora of water and allow it to raise to the surface. -The players PDA would now connect directly to the Aurora's main computer, providing a far more comprehensive system and more intelligent AI, also the raising of the Aurora would take the player out of immediate danger and provide a sanctuary for adjustment to the next phase of gameplay. -The Aurora would raise on the border of the volcano, the Aurora would then direct the player to gather an insanely large amount of materials from the area that the Aurora can use to supply its onboard repair fabricators. The player could meet a minimum amount to restore flight, but be rewarded with massively expanded access to the Aurora interior for supplying more materials, culminating in uber/OP/awesome/funtional/cosmetic items/objects for completely restoring the Aurora to its original state. (This would also allow the player to explore at the very least the surface area of the main game, seeing all of its wonders and terrors.) -As a final objective the Aurora will direct the player to disable the quarantine platform, which will (depending on the amount of content within the previous "chapters" of the game) either: A. Play out as normal, following the original Subnautica storyline. Or B. The virus is not present in this version and the quarantine platform is more easily disabled in a much more straightforward manner, acting more like a simple planetary defense rather than having specific directives beyond "keep planet safe". Alternately: The game remains exactly the same except the Aurora is not present and anything you get exclusively on the Aurora is simply placed elsewhere in the world.

2:15 some new person got subnautica for the first time dives in water... now they have PTSD

Watching this 2019 where we now know that the captain bravely continued to pilot the ship as it was crashing to give everyone a fighting chance and his sacrifice paid off

It’s not luck one of the pda says that the captain stayed behind to preform a controlled descent so he New where the ship would sink and where it would and crashed it there

not gonna lie that ghost leviathan actually scared me i get scared by a lot of things yes

This would make a good dlc/mod. “Subnautica: into the abyss” You would play as a survivor whose Lifepod fell into an biome within an area in the dead zone known as “The Abyss” .the biome he/she lands in would be populated with many large, undersea, floating islands that are held up by floaters. The Abyss would contain original biomes like “the magma trench(es)” , a Reefback/Ventgarden path, a Ventgarden field, and a “bloody” tree spire biome (think; blood kelp and tree spire combined), as well as cut biomes, like the single celled biome shown in the concept arts. If it was a mod, it could take inspiration from the Subnautica arts wiki, containing fan made creatures like colossuses and “the thing”. Instead of the dead zone, the player would be prevented from going out of bounds by the “nested” zone, containing “the thing” or a single leviathan like it, that would ALMOST (this detail will be important later on) insta kill the player if they entered the zone. This “thing” - like creature could be a main antagonist of sorts; an elder god - like biomass threatening to devour The Abyss and, by extension, the migratory paths used by the Reefback, Ventgarden, and titan floater, leviathans that spread creatures like the peepers and red grass throughout the planet, which would cause irreversible damage to its global ecosystem (oh yeah, - also you’d be VERY dead). The player would defeat it by dodging its attacks to get to a location in a terrifying climax after either creating an enzyme that dissolves it and is best released at the location, or finding an artifact that powers up a smaller, undersea version of the Q.U.P. Placed at the location. After The death of the “Thing” - like leviathan,the player would see Reefbacks and Juvenile Ventgardens passing through it near the Reefback path, before a large group of warpers teleport to the player, repeating the phrase “warning: biomass debris nearby proven hazardous to foreign species. Please report to the nearest quarantine facility” before teleporting the player to the rocket pad from the original game. Gameplay would then proceed as normal, with the player building a rocket and escaping the planet.

If you landed in the dead zone, Subnautica would be a horror game

So, you're asking what the chance is that that ship landed on that piece of vulcanic land? Probably as big as the chances that a ship as huge as the Aurora has some sort of radar installation so that it find a shoal that it can crash-land on, incase of an emergency over an oceanic planet?

Damn. No wonder not all of the lifepods made it. Imagine being the poor SOB who's lifepod went down further than 2Km from the crash site, and climbed out to see the Ghosts. Nasty way to go Edit: Just a thought. Could you imagine how weird it would be if the Biome trick worked in real life? 'Ooh, can't get me now Sharks, I've entered the 'Fishing Boat' biome and you don't spawn here, sorry!

The ghost leviathans are almost definitely creatures that hang around the volcano exclusively (or especially). Either that, or nothing wants to be around the volcano for some other reason than ghost leviathans. I can't imagine nothing else being in the ocean. Also, when you fly away, you get to see the planet, and a lot of it looks surprisingly shallow...

0:56 that editing makes me laugh so hard

Title: What if we landed in the Dead Zone? Me: APPARENTLY THE TITLE DOESN'T MAKE IT OBVIOUS

i kept wondering what would happen if it landed in the dead zone like we are so lucky lol

The guy: swimming at the bottom of the ocean surrounded by like 5 ghost leviathans Also him in creative mode: this is fine

And when you find out that it was possible that the biome known as the Single Cell Biome could have been implemented. I shudder to think how you could survive down there.

And up to this day, I still don't know if the Aurora is a Mining ship (If I recall, it was called 'The Aurora mining vessel' back in the day), or a terraforming / construction ship, since now it's supposed to build a 'phase gate' in the butt of the galaxy. Damn Alterra repurposing ships like crazy.

What could go wrong EVERYTHING!!!!!!

How to do this yourself: 1: go to the dead zone 2: type “sub aurora” in the console command This should spawn an aurora about 500 - 1000 meters behind you. Make sure you go pretty far away from the real aurora as they just despawn if you’re too close.

When your out of power in the void "Hello darkness my old friend"

You'd be dead. Edit: Okay, if the ship sank that far out, it would slowly get crushed. It's tough, but it's not meant for such massive pressures. Hell, there's not all that many Sci-Fi ships that can take those pressures, certainly not when it losses a third of its bloody hull!

"I'm busy. I'm watching my hopes and dreams die before me."

This is an SOS call from the Terra forming ship "Aurora" The crew are dead, killed by a radiation leak. The only survivors were Ryley Robinson, who was in a life pod during through disaster, and his pet cuddle fish, who was safely sealed in the hold. Revived not long after, Ryley's only companions are: his PDA, and the lifeforms that evolved from the cuddlefish

How about what Subnautica would look like if the Aurora came from the southwest was struck in the bridge by the Precursor Gun and crashed into the grand reef, corals grating away at the lower engine block and fins, then the Aurora snaps in two, leaving a debris trail behind it. The Aurora barrels through the floater island, tearing it and everything on it into shreds, then it rips through Sparse Reef, Grassy Plateaus, Safe Shallows, Mushroom Biome, And the Floating Islands before crashing into the Mountain Island. Wide gashes into the lava Zone and Lost River are formed, Luckily you land next to the obliterated gun, the radiation is on the other side of the map and you are met with a Precursor shuttle, a large vessel that can deter large predators, once you get to the Safe Shallows, the shuttle breaks down, essentially crumbling into dust. Stalkers are everywhere and they are having a field day on the wreckage. Alien tech is also scattered around and there's a full set of useful Alterra equipment.

Build like a massive base around the giant skeleton in the lost river, fully build non-powered floodlights, a nuclear reactor array right about the skeleton, the player goes around the base, unlimited oxygen, finding materials to build nuclear rods, and then... once the nuclear rods are in place... BAM. The entire skeleton is fully lit up with floodlights, everything inside the base comes online, and the scanner rooms dotted around the place activate, and you can explore inside the skeleton. Also, make it sort of abandoned, so that it looks like it's dead, but once the power comes on, it's a fully functional massive research facility dedicated to the studying of this ancient creature.

I remember what the void used to look like. It was just empty and dark and the only noise was an eerie howling of a massive beast. Somehow it was even scarier than the void now.

SUPER HARDCORE MODE a.k.a. literal demons chasing you around.

Well, due to the fact that the player gets on a life pod they would most likely starve stranded in the middle of the ocean. And, even if the player survived the gun. The Aurora would be slammed into the oceans void. Because of the mass of the ship, it could likely take hours for the Aurora to flood. Also, since the Aurora wouldn't lose power immediately, any places that were struck and had damage would be sealed off. This will happen systematically, so even if the explosion killed every body excluding a set few. No manual input would be required, thus it would flood much slower. Also, leviathan classes from kilometers away would hear and feel the Aurora impacting the ocean. This of course means they might meet the players lifepod, or somebody else's, and begin to test it. Also, people on the Aurora would have a painfully long and tedious death via starvation, etc. This could take months, but without any materials and slow food loss, people left alive would most likely turn on each other. All well the player slowly starves or has already been eaten. So yeah, that's a basic summary of what I think would have happened.

Really thought it's gonna be a clickbait but I guess not, good job! :P

If it didn't land, *on land*

“I gotta get inside this thing, I’m very curious to get inside this thing” *thats what she said*

I'd like to see an Easter egg or reference to H.P Lovecrafts' Cthulhu or R'lyeh at the bottom of the void. Maybe something like an artifact. That when you get near to it you hear an eerie whisper saying "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" Translation: In his house at R'lyeh , dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.

I HATE this video, but not due to it being bad or something. I just got a fobia for open places, like The ocean.

Was the audio screwed up for anyone else at the end?

Well now we know through the full release and the cinematic trailer that, most likely, the only reason the Aurora crashed where it did was because the captain went down with the ship trying to keep her salvageable.

i Always ask myself that when i see how Close the aurora is to the dead zone

This should be a hard mode for Subnautica, where your life pod never ejects and your trapped in the Aurora when it sank to the bottom of the Deadzone, you need to stop the reactor from blowing half the ship up dooming yourself, and your goal is to fix all the leaks and restore the ship to working order and try to escape the planet.

Honestly i do think they should make a “would if” impossible mode, I mean it woudnt be this hard and impossible to see but it would be if you landed in or near the void, but there would have to be some to little areas where you can get resources just to survive, and like a whole new story or like new entities

the planet that subnautica takes place on (planet 4546B as alterra calls it) has been confirmed to be a water world around 2 or 3 times the size of earth. there isn’t too much land masses on the planet, but there are some. such as the two islands in the main playing area of the game. there are also icy areas at the poles of the planet, where subnautica below zero takes place.

2:33 "it's going to be a bad time" *Megalovania intensifies*

You owe me a new pair of pants

Why don't you build your own disease research station? If you build it on the void floor you could say that it is quarantined. Cut off from the rest of subnautica. It could include a massive outdoor cages to house every species of leviathan. In each cage it could include one observatory and a desk and chair. Another thing you may want to include is an aquarium, and not just one, but one for each and every type of fauna so that's every species of plant and animal. The interior could include dozens of desks, cabinets, lab equipment, a bio reactor( this means that if you dissect a specimen the remains can be turned into energy). You may also want a containment chamber of some kind to contain creatures with obvious signs of infection (e.g cysts). This zone can only be entered if you wear a hazmat suit (radiation suit).

It'd be a neat difficulty slider if you could drop the Aurora in more hostile locations

Just did some quick math, apparently at around 700,000 meters deep (1/10th the way through the earth) water would turn into "hot ice" after being forcefully compressed to a solid. Just imagine going that deep in Subnautica and seeing a floor of ice

0:15 merry christmas... wait what?

So what if there were icebergs up to the far north or south on the planet? Could there be strange creatures that survive above and below the surface around those?

This actually shine some light about one time I fought the game glitched and I faced with the ground but guess I just went to the edge of the world and fell the edge in my prawn suit

oh that was when the lifepod was movable xd

There should be a dlc name the deep blue were you spawn in the void XD

This has also struck my mind, but now I know, if we landed in the void it would be hell.

I have to say this: the captain sacrificed himself in order to crash the ship in a safe environment, it's said in the PDA of officer Keen(I think it's keen at least). he told them to get to the escape pods while he piloted the ship into the crater so that they wouldn't be stranded in the dead zone.

Thank you so much for not just making SHALLOW clickbait man!!! It's appreciated!

I HAVE THE POWER! I CLICKED THE LIKE BUTTON AND THE LIKE COUNT WENT FROM 3k TO 4k!

My theory is that the last ditch effort of the captain of the aurora was to try and land it in as few pieces as possible and somewhere it was salvageable.

The combination of the pitch darkness, the ambient sounds, and the sight of the twisted ruins are all really unsettling.

Igp*looks down a ghost liviathan "can can you hang on a second" Ghost liviathan *screech* Come swim with me I won't atack you . Love it

i would love to see a secret monster in the void, imagen this you are in the void stuck in your cyclopes being chased by ghost leviathins then all of the sudden everything is quiet, there are no ghost leviathens no sounds no nothing u thing u are safe and are about to go out and repair your ship but then all of a sudden u hear the strangest and scariest noice u ever heard, u turn off the engine, turn off all the lights and wait, and wait, and wait then the scariest, ugliest, and worst creature u have ever seen, just as big as the aurora, he just sat there watching you then when u think it is harmless, u turn on the lights and then it screams so loud it almost breaks the glass in your cyclopes and almost lost your hearing and then when u look back at it, it disappers, but when u think it is gone, it comes back at full speed and eats u and your cyclopes up and when u respone u won't even want to go back in the water ever again. The End

There should an impossible mode in which the lifepod lands in the territory of the void and the aurara sank

Just want to say that I've just watched the very first subnautica video you did. I find it amazing that today, you're channel is practically subnautica based, but way back then, you said it too precisely.

This seems so real... the constant distant roars and the shaking screen... just perfect

Maybe the atlas could be used to travel to other parts of the world ie you get a radio transmission from a distant group of survivors whose life pods where ejected early and are in another region but you need the atlas plans.... found in the Aroura command deck to be able to travel to them

Yes finally some KZfaq finally thought about this, just so happens to be one of my favorites

Hey man I just want to say, you do great vids Always the best quality and commentary, and commitment as well I haven’t watched your vids in a while, and to have your videos suddenly recommended again is truly a gift Thank you :):):):)

Yo this channel is growing so fast!

Damn, IGP. You have magic fingers with these games. This would be awesome. Maybe as a secret extra hardcore mode ;) To have to dive down the Aurora, and navigate through, maybe with a few air pockets here and there... Anybody else think this game would make a great sci-fi disaster movie?

When you entered in the aroura one thing hit my mind "they are watching you from the darkness, you are a bird in it's cage, they are the cats, you are running out of time. The leviathans will devour you as you make a desperate grab for the light in spite of yourself"

I liked and subbed just because you are the first video I've ever seen that has 1440HP quality

For those questioning it, wasn't there audio from a PDA (possibly Keen's I think??) of the captain of the Aurora attempting to land in a safe area after the gun shot them? My memory may be off but I'm pretty sure that's what happened. So it wasnt by sheer luck that the Aurora landed where it did, although it could have landed in one of the deeper biomes like the Dunes or something, THAT'D be fucking scary.

I know you wanted ideas for the IGPARADISE last video, but what if you made a base all the way around the playable crater, like a huge tunnel system around the play field with a city in the middle. Lore - The precursor gun had destroyed the Aurora, but there were more survivors this time, and After living on the planet for years and discovering they were in some Ice age the movie type situation with the crater, they put up a base acting as a border so no one would wander out into the unknown abyss of the landless waters. Buildings - the buildings would just be pipelines around, and every know and then you could add a small station with a tower that would be used for guards. And if it's possible, you could place multiple Cyclops's around as little transports, And to make it a city for extra detail, you could make small suburb like towns in the biomes with small houses that have driveways with sea moths in them and pipelines connecting all the houses and towns to a main huge capital city surrounding or by the Aurora. the capital city could also go inside the Aurora using that as a huge building if you want. Thanks, and good luck making this.

Imagine a new dlc would be called "Subnautica : the ghost of the deep dark depths" where you spawn in a particular part of aurora and start off by chipping off the aurora

Watching the aurora explode is like watching the new year’s ball drop. ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

If you landed in the Dead Zone, you would have the same choices the Torgals of the "Degasi" had. Find materials/salvage from the shipwreck, build a cargo boat, and sail somewhere else "in the crater." Considering what happened to them, your final choice would be to do a "Bart Torgal" or turn into "Marguerit Maida." (Embrace you inner "Ellen Ripley." Then you'd be hunting Leviathans in no time!;)

Imagine doing this in VR, I would have already have had a heart attack

“Pure luck we landed here” The captain who stayed on the ship to attempt a controlled descent and probably guided the aurora toward the surface level land “am I a joke to you?”

people talking about making a giant creature in the void, and i agree! the way i think it could solve the fps issue is if you just made it spawn at the very edge of the void like how the ghost leviathans spawn in the void. you make it to the end of the void and are met with big glowing eyes, it cuts to black and you die. We wouldnt need to see the thing in its entirety to save fps (we could see how it really looks in art form by the creator) and it would be a scary and cool momment to think on. something that big being in the ocean.. ughghgh

2:47 scared tf out of me and I’m just watching on my phone rn lmao

"The only reason why the Aurora is sitt- Hey. Hey can you hang on a second?"

When you jumped in I jumped out the room 😭 I legit cry whenever I see like literally the boom boom sulcus protectors so when I see a god damn ghost leviathan straight off the bat.... let’s just say I’d rather be in hell than I’m the ocean

Just imagine a fricking sea monster in the size of the Aurora coming at you in the pure darkness of the Dead Zone.

Now, this is the content that I want

I would love if they would have made a dlc before the crash where you would do things for the crew, walk around the ship and land on different planets

I think the pressure would completely destroy you and crush the aurora, unless the aurora was designed to be super strong, and the laser is even more powerful

I like to think that being a massive spacefaring enterprise, Alterra would have done some sort of sophisticated planet scan that allowed them to see and aim for that section of the planet. It's supported by the pre-existing rendevous point

1:00 YOU GAVE ME HEART STROKE

I have a thought, how many times was the aurora hit? Let me explain, something had to happen in order for the survivors to be flocking to the life pods. So was the Aruora hit twice (or more)? If so, then why does it only take one hit to destroy the Sunbeam (I assume it's just to show how powerful the gun is)? But even if it is just too show the power, why doesn't it take one hit to take down the Aruora?

instead of reaper leviathans around it there's ghost leviathans XD

That must be terrifying!

Btw, I've tested it and the Ghost Leviathans stop chasing you in the void at a certain depth about 3000+ or so I think

What if that’s what happened to the sun beam and the ship forgot what it was called happened to it

the" like this, but taller, and with scary monsters* reaper pops in*" me: *gets jumped* ah! ohhhhhhh... i have a bad tingly feelin now

I like the Glitz at the Ritz in the intro.

I love this IGP he’s not constantly screaming at every little scare or inconvenience and making his thumbnails and titles a cash grab
