It is kinda weird :) but usually the one that starts comes out on top.

Sometimes they just circle each other for a while until one kills the other.

Subnautica.exe stopped working.

Just start breeding them in the Alien Containment tank, they’re a lot of fun

wowow

That's definitely one way to solve that conflict :)

@@TheLastBacon This is most likely how the Mesmer would work in an IRL sense, forcing stimuli onto the person/player that creates an interest about the creature and then nipping you and running away. Said Nip actually being carving a hunk of flesh from your arm, but still

@Mentlegen meh thats the sea emperor

@Mentlegen 2: Wait! I'm a friend! (That is a reference to 9.)

@Mentlegen 9's a movie. It was released 9 years ago. The premise is everything is dead besides these 9 doll like creatures called stitchpunks and they have to fight the robot that ended the world and there's mechanical monsters and deaths and alchemy and it's a big bag of treats.

Their hypnosis is kinda similar to emperors I suppose :)

Luckily, they don't live in all kelp forest areas :) so you might just be lucky!

,,Old Sport" (Remembering Dsaf)

2 seconds? Wowow

Same

I found one in the safe shallows, swimming around in one of the tube coral tunnels

It's definitely possible :) after all, it's a freaking alien planet so not all rules of Earth-hypnosis must apply here too.

If you listen to the mesmer.PDA (that made no sense) with headphones the echoing can be heard much more clearly

The emperor have a psychic ability to converse to the protagonist miles away. What if mesmers are a far predecessor of the same species that gave that ability to the emperor? Albeit weaker and have a shorter range.

⁠@@jenniytere my guess is the Mesmer is somehow messing with the chemicals in your brain perhaps through pheromones in the after that get absorbed through the suit and into your skin that then take nest in your brain and are activated by there wings/fins colors or the colors could even be a visual illusion as a result of the effects on our brain and that what happens how and why you fall under there thrall is that those chemicals effect your brain in a way that induces compliance and certain emotions and it’s actually your mind misperceiving the pda as a result of that manipulation in a way it’s literally secducing us by attracting us making us want to get closer through releases of oxytocin and dopamine and while we’re in this love drunk state anything the pda says our voice will misconstrued as some,thing to fit that emotional state of we’re brainwashed into seeing it as beautiful our mind will change what we hear to reflect that . And as a whole I think there trance is a state of hyper fixation where we’re our minds are so drugged up empty and malleable that all we can do is focus on one central thing that thing being obeying and going closer to the Mesmer at that point our minds may be so far gone that we don’t even have that attraction anymore we just can’t help but go closer the only thoughts our minds can perceive and comprehend are the colors there’s also a chance that there effect on you is semi permanent as the logs regarding the Mesmer have been changed so it’s very likely we keep that same mental state forever and any thought of them triggers that and our description of the Mesmer and of the encounter are reflected in that

That would be cool :) ....it would also definitively answer whether the mesmer is actually manipulating the PDA or not.

@@TheLastBacon I guess they idn't because that would be confusing for deaf people :r

:thonk:

Maybe goes something like this PDA Voice: It is your prime directive to swim closer to that beautiful creature cREeaTuRe CreAtURe......... swim closer.......swim closer now.......it looks so pretty.......do not resist..... don't struggle. Subtitles: It is your prime directive to swim away from that horrible creature swim away swim away now it is very horrible resist and struggle. If its like that i wonder how youtubers would react. Maybe one would be like: WHAT! WHAT IS THAT! wait the pda's voice its telling me to go closer? but the subtitles its telling me to swim away. WHICH ONE DO I TRUST!? That would be awesome i hope they add that.

That would make it cool and also scary. That means it can literally cancel out what you are actually hearing

Definitely as far as visuals go :) fascinating that something like the cuttlefish is a real life animal.

They are.

You beat me to it: Yeah cuttlefish hypnotise prey and attack with the same barbed tentacles I have it on good authority a cuttlefish bite hurts like hell and is deadly toxic roughly on par with a blue ringed octopus though they aren't very aggressive.

Finally someone gives credit to the cuttlefish

Thaine Smith TV Cuttlefish can hypnotise their prey by changing colour to make it stop moving, they will also extend 2 barbed tentacles towards its prey and grab it.

Haha that's really interesting actually :) I'd imagine having a bunch of them in containment must be a real pain.

h

I didn’t realise they made eggs!

@@coolsceegaming6178 I have a tank full of them on my switch version. Unfortunately, but fortunately for me, the mesmers no longer hypnotize each other in containment. Once you hatch them in containment they will be completely docile to each other and you! I love them so I breed and release them outside my base, perfectly harmless. You can find guides on how to get their eggs on KZfaq!

They are certainly very unique :)

Haha thank you very much :) but of course, we mustn't forget pewdiepie.

True :) creepy stuff!

"it is your primary directive to swim away from that horrible creature" "Swim away" "It looks hostile"

At one point, the PDA says: "Do not resist" but you can here it say "Do not pr-resist" because it is actually saying "do not proceed"

Oof that's very unlucky :)

Oh wow now we need a Jojo mod for the game :)

A beautiful friendly smear on the wall...

Sorry bud,social distancing

*pulls out thermal knife*

@Dio Brando well sorry that I unknowingly copied someone even though 2 people can easily think of the same joke

I agree that it's the most likely explanation :) ....I think the PDA bug is just a cheeky nod from the devs.

i think a floater/amoeboid video would be interesting and i know it isn't canon but i thought of the idea that somewhere in subnautica could be a continent being entirely held up by floaters no one would probably like it if it was a game since it would be mostly land based but it's definitely a interesting idea to think about in terms of lore also yea they did show alot of the planet in the end of subnautica but it has been a long time since then and the sea emperors migrated so it could still be a possibility that they have expanded are someday a continent is going to just raise out of the ocean

@@timothytrevino3380 I would definitely like to look into them eventually :) I might just have to combine them with something else as there may not be enough info out there for a full video.

maybe with the shuttlebug/rockgrub/lava larva and have two videos based on the scavengers/parasites would be good also i updated the message if you haven't seen it yet and i do think it could someday be possible as a easter egg at least

Ok first check your spelling because you sound like a 2nd grader.I see that you edited it and you still didn’t notice it? How dumb are you because now I cannot even take you or your comment seriously

Had to sneak it in there :)

A game theory.

You have no idea how far down I scrolled to see a comment talking about that Game Theory reference!

Yep most likely :) they do sometimes venture out of their biome so you can encounter them all around the place.

Safe Shallows except it's not actually safe anymore

It's always a mini heart attack when they suddenly control you out of nowhere :)

wait isn't their power based on vision shouldn't they not be able to control you to make you look at them

Wait but if your already liked you unlike I have to resist

I'm sure at least some did :)

My first time encountering it i was kinda swimming up to it to see, even while being pulled in, just thought it was a cool effect. The moment my PDA said the first "prime directive" line i immediately knew it was some mind control shit and i gtfo of there before the pda even finished the line

I guess not lol

He was in creative at the time I believe,I didn't see any health bar and such

And how the reaper just casually clipped through the seafloor

When you’ve encountered warpers, reapers are no longer scary.

The way you say Containment area gave me SCP Vibes

mesme sounds like a cool fish

Well it isn't an unreasonable reaction considering the PDA says so :)
