If the sea emperor wasnt friendly then it would be absolutely terrifying... imagine if it could make you go insane by constantly whispering

I think the reason the architects couldn’t hear the Sea Emperor’s telpathy is because they’re not organic. They are data given sentience and bodies.

The thing is, the sea emperor could easily skewer any leviathan that gets in their way, but they are peaceful creatures, (and the leviathans are smart enough to leave them alone)

The sea emperor is a tragic tale, but at least it managed to get a happy ending. Thanks for doing justice for this amazing creature!

i love the sea emperor she just wants her children to have a good life

I didn’t know the kharaa killed so many, that’s actually impressive in a twisted sort of way

I always thought of the seemingly throw away line of "The visions are getting worse" from Bart as just delirium taking hold of him from the infection and never as the Sea Emperor talking to him, but now that I've heard it...that makes perfect sense. The revelation has my jaw on the floor.

Sea emperors were the biggest creature to ever exist. Gargantuan leviathan: alow me to introduce myself

Remember ya'll, this all started because of some curious architect kicking ONE rock.

I hope that ability to make animals calm in their presence is working when they’re born cause it’s rough out there on 4546B.

Peepers are the true MVPs man. They may get attacked but they form a symbiosis with our Big Space Mama, saving everyone on the crater

When I first watched the sea emperor die I pause and said “you…you ok their sea? Oh dear god is she dead?” The I took a closer look and realised she was dead and I got sad

I think in earlier betas the Sea Emperor was friendly unless you damaged her eggs, in which case she'd kill you.

Architects: The Leviathans are too big for study. Also Architects: *Makes huge aquarium for Leviathan*

The main reason the Sea Emperor couldn’t communicate with the Architects is most likely because their brains were mechanical

sea emperor is probably one of my favourite characters in fiction fought to cling to life for so long just to ensure that life on the planet would still be around to be saved when someone arrived who could help hatch the eggs any time i reach the hatching cutscene i usually spend way too long hanging around with her just to say goodbye before leaving so she can finally have her well earned rest

Maybe the architect weren't able to hear the sea emperor due to lacking a physical body, mind or something It is pretty cool that the sea emperor essentially saved the planet's life

keep up the work man i dont even play subnautica anymore but i love watching your content

Wow. Fascinating. I had no idea the story was this complex and deep. Thank you for taking the time to narrate and animate this terrific story.

The hammer head shape that the sea emperor has could be a form of senser like what hammerhead sharks have

The subnautica lore king is back 💪

*I believe that she's not the only one, there's a bunch of Sea Emperors around.* My theory it's that they live very deep, and only come to surface to lay eggs, where she got captured. Probably there's a bunch more, buuuut they live where the Ghost Leviathans live, so made sense the Architects never went to find another one...

It feels like i am watching national geographic, but it is subnatica. Thanks for the amazing video.😮😊

I NEW IT!! Sea emperors are relatives with sea dragons!

I’ve been waiting for a while to get this video! Glad it’s here, amazing video : )

I like the headcanon of the Sea Emperor's roommate creatures being told to shut the fuck up and behave via telepathy. Straight mom behavior so that everyone could live in peace XD

I love your videos on Subnautica! They never get tiring to me!

There was a bit well played irony after dealing with these hostile creatures in your journey that the biggest creature in the game is actually the only friendly being you meet.

I think the main reason the architects were unable to hear the Sea Emperor's telepathy is because she didn't want them to know how to hatch her eggs. Since she is clearly not only sentient but also very clever she likely found out what they had done to her babies and didn't want them to harm any more of them so she waited until a safe person (Riley) showed up

Man, I thought I knew Subnautica's lore pretty well, but there are a lot of things you went over that I simply overlooked in my playthroughs or didn't connect the dots on lol Anyways, great video! I just now found your channel through this one, but I love your editing style and look forward to seeing more!

I love your videos man! ❤ keep up great work

Are you gonna do creature analysis videos on every creature in subnautica? It’d be really cool if you did, I’ve been obsessing over the crabsquids, mesmers, and BoneSharks (A deep dive into the Peeper space program would also be cool, as today I learned they make great projectiles)

MAN THIS GUYS BIG BRAIN I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF USING INFORMATION FROM SUBNAUTICA BELOW ZERO AND SUBNAUTICA

i thought i understood this game's lore but this video made me truly understand the lore and made me wanna play it again 😅 love your videos man keep it up💪

i love your vids so much and i just love this game

I have a theory on what the sea emporers arms where for, they where probably used for defence and it was probably this atack method that inspired the main attack method for the warper.

Ahh yes, nothing like waking up and seeing aletho has posted a new banger

The sea emperor is so chill that I would just hang out with him

(Don't read if you don't want spoilers) And also Al-an from below zero leaded that Sea emperor -project.

bro can insert reason for new viewers to watch multiple videos in a row, E P I C

The Sea emperor probably just didn't want to let the Architects know how to hatch them to protect them

finally the sea emperor, nice video about the story

No one talking about how he perfectly transitioned into the credits?

Detail I loved when I discovered it fuckin' around: I put infectected fish in a tank with healthy fish and saw the infection spread. Then I put a glowy peeper in (before I discovered why they were glowy) and saw them all cured. Was awesome!

Alrighty.. I am gonna try to bet again.. 5$ that the Squid Shark is next. (Also, great video!)

14:19 ITs explained in sub zero that the architects are already a communal organism, AL-AN specifies about "Imagine a thousand strings, each playing its own range of notes, none louder than the others. Each one builds harmony-a continuous thrum in the background of existence. I am now a lone string in search of familiar harmonies". . i think this wither drowned out the sea empress's telepathy or made them incompatible.

I was once playing subnautica and i got ine of those telephaty „cutscenes“ and it tripped me out extremely because i tought it was that ine creature that tricks you into going towards it

Yoooo Aletho uploaded!

Fish raised inside an ACU are also passive. I think they are passive simply because it was in an enclosed.

I still like to hold onto the hope a few groups of Sea Emperors with the Enzyme 42 producing mutation did manage to survive the outbreak. They probably had to be more spread than before, but perhaps there might still have been enough microscopic lifeforms to feed a few small groups.

I like the architects idea of "if it tries to come just blow it the hell up"

How the Emperor Juveniles could be more fun: - Obviously, they make sounds 🔊 and depending on what they feel. - Can haul large amounts of cargo!📦 - Help find minerals by blowing 🌬️ at the ground to reveal them.💎 - Each juvenile is unique! e.g the one in the most friendliest environment has barnacles and a reef 🪸 on the back like the reefback leviathan while another in the most hostile environment has some gnarly battle ⚔️ damage around their body from fending off off attackers and some missing tentacles and eyes that would soon regenerate. - They can communicate 🗣️ telepathically 🔮 but not as good as the ancient sea empress since they're younger. - 🐕Petting animations!🐈 Cuz I think that's cute!❤ - You can hitch a ride 🏇 by grabbing either of the 4 head structures. 3:33 - Or you can build some sci-fi advanced saddle to control their movement. - You can hide 🥷 in their mouth in case a predator 🦈 is stupid enough to approach you despite being around a massive creature. - You can play🤽 with them to make them happy and put a collar🔔 with their name on. - Protects you from other aggressive leviathans like blocking their view to you. - Sleeping animations. - Their body armor 🛡️ gives them massive defense but their eyes are a weakness - Enzyme 42 can be yummy 😋 but I'm not an expert 🤔 - Last but not least, you can create some chainsaw⛓️ 🪚 tusks 🦣 that are worn on their heads if you want them to do more damage! What else could your think of to make them more fun?

I just got up and now i shall celebrate

I loved the Shadow Leviathan ambush at the end. Never thought they'd be intelligent enough to use telportation technology, but whelp, here we are.

Man I love your videos if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t know half the game story 😊😅

Yaaaaay another one of these

I want to see Mesmer next! Would be cool.

You should do a mini series with 3 smaller creatures per episode like rock punchers squidsharks and ice stalkers just a suggestion

Its a miracle how forgiving the sea emperor was despite the expirementation she went through and how 2 of her offsprings were literally murdered

Nice keep up the great work and what if the other leviathans were trying to warn you about kharaa but did not know that they could kill you with they're warnings but they were trying to get you to the sea emperor

Just so you know, the sea emperor is bigger than Godzilla

Thanks thanks that you made now a video for the sea emperor❤

The sea emperor: is 1600 years old The architects with their 2 braincells: LeTs KeEp It AnD nOt ChAnGe It

Do you do your own thumbnails? They're amazing

The Architects had a sort of mostly cybernetically augmented physical form that they effectively downloaded into. They couldn't understand the telepathic communications because they were effectively a collective digital consciousness for the most part, and their biological neurology wasn't sufficient for the Sea Emperor to make contact. It should also be worth noting that the Architects didn't "die" as they were a sort of hive mind of cybernetically augmented beings with most of their mind uplaoded to a sort of neural engramatic storage. Though it is unknown if the storage in these areas survived, but a note hints that they were effectively uploaded to whatever network they were using. The telepathy aspect is also hinted by other organisms in Subnautica, such as the Mesmer, which directly controls your actions through a series of lights it releases. It's likely that this emerged several times on the planet but it's just we only see two examples of organisms that can influence neuronal firing in another. The Sea Emperor's are ridiculously long lived, and given their ability to communicate (which might be the furthest form of an underwater method of communication like what we see in Cetaceans taking the next step by directly influencing the brain, though you probably couldn't do this across an entire planet if it depended on mirror neurons lol) were probably as intelligent as human's, if not moreso, but did not need technology due to their size (perhaps instead cultivating the ecosystem by gaining understanding how it works over a very long life).

the sea emperor is also in the game's trailer (i think the early access one?) and seems to roar at the end of it.

It’s heartwarming how the babies were able to grow and keep the species alive

I love subnautica and to me, you’re the best youtuber for that game. Keep it up 👍🏻

Does that mean from what I was just listening to that is the karaa goes dormant doesn’t that mean that I mean character once going back to earth could potentially gain the cooler again meaning that he could infect his entire planet?

I have a suggestion could you do a video about aurora?

You'd think that the architects would be able to analyze the sea emperor DNA and find the gene for enzyme 42, then insert that gene into a bacterial plasmid for mass reproduction like what we've done with insulin. Aren't the architects supposed to be a super technologically advanced race? Also, I find it odd that a single bacteria species is so deadly across so many different species from so many different planets. Oh well. The Subnautica story is cool enough that I won't begrudge such plot holes. And who knows, maybe alien biology is just that different from Earth biology (although that's such a copout).

Answer me How are you so good at making videos I love them and do you have any other channel

When i firstly saw her i thought she was the final boss and starting attacking her with the suit

A thousands years old civilization

Idk why but everything I see the sea emperor it gives me the chills

A masters decided to make the story

Are you doing a video of Architects next because you should

I don’t know if it’s just for being part of the sequel or not, I assume it is since you use Alan’s design for the Precursors, but just in case it’s implied the reason the Sea Emperor wasn’t heard by any of the Precursors is because they work like a hive mind with every thought and voice echoing in their head, one extra voice would be unnoticeable especially with a population as big as theirs.

Thans for the advise

I need to redownload both and actually get the endings (I didn't have the patience to harvest everything I needed in the first one and I encountered a bug that prevents me from finishing the story)

Ho aletho sorry if I didn't commenti before but the video is damm amazing i really couldn't watch to watch this thank you

I love how in subnautica lore, fish poop is the key to saving the galaxy

14:20 The Architects couldn't sense the sea emperor's telepathic influence because when studying things at the quarantine enforcement base you can find some evidence that the Architects possessed much more advanced psychology than other creatures and thus they were probably resistant to psychic influences. Also, even though I haven't looked into Subnautica: Below Zero much, I believe that it is pointed out that the Architects used to transplant their minds from their original biological bodies to biomechanical ones, so this is another point to consider when talking about why the Architects were unsuccessful in hatching the sea emperor's eggs.

I always name and color my vehicles after the creatures in the game, and the Neptune Rocket, the one that saves my life and brings me home, is always called Emperor. ❤

Do a video on the Ion cubes and the Architects plz

The architects probably werent able to hear the emperors call because they are half machines and do not have brains in a way needed for the telepathy as we see the architect body in subnautica below zero

thanks to this video i now know i should use a precision laser to cook this thing

I think the sea emperor is called that because it's like a hybrid of the reaper, ghost, and sea dragon

My theory is that the Sea Emperor felt resentmet towards the architecs. In some of the dialoges it has with the player it mentions: "I will give you freely what the others tried in vain to take" and "To you, I give the secret willingly", revealing that even with the world ending, it saw the architects as "unworthy" beings, or at least not deserving to know how the enzymes worked. Why? Let's remember that the Sea Emperor is pretty inteligent, to the point of being phylosophical and undersating how it's chamber worked, being aware that it conected to the outside sea through pipes and that the big thing in the middle was a portal. It even knew the specifics on how to make the enzymes to fully imitate the perfect breeding conditions for it's eggs. It had both intelligence, counciousness and a sense of morality. It's possible that it tried to communicate with the architects through it's psychic powers, but the architets weren't able to get the message. Chances are the Sea Emperor TRIED to communicate with the through other ways but the architets treated it like a regular animal that just happened to be useful, and far from trying to get it's help they simply use it like a resource and nothing else. Having no regard for it's life, it's eggs, or any other life. The Sea Emperor probably took notice and decided to not cooperate with them, and instead trying to find it's own way to solve the problem while being confined. That's probably how it realized it could send peepers with small portions of the enzyme. Then we came to the planet and we could actually understood it, and the game unfolded from there

You should make a video about Pengwings if you haven't already 🐧

"Unmatched in size" Gargantuan Leviathan: am i a joke to you?

It’s weird how some of my favorite video game characters are a cowboy and a giant fish

my favorite moment was the sea dragon trying to get her egg 😅😅😅

Seeing how the architects treated the sea emperors make me happy they nearly went extinct because damn, poor big mama.

So, I’ve always wondered, imagine if ryley was immune to khrara? At most, they still get the green gunk on them, only thing is it doesn’t hurt them or their body, the gunk is just… there, null

Why did i think for a sec it was kabutops commanding an army of omastar in the thumbmail lmfao

Wait so If the crater only survived because of the Emperor, how is there life in sector Zero?

Finaly the one I've been waiting for, now I can stop commentong this and be at peace, though I do have an idea for another title: the cuddle fish, a servivors best friend.

10:00 he angy

I belive that there is a diologue were u can hear the leviathan talk about how they are too much machine and not enought organique so she could not talk too them.
