Use the grapple arm to get close to the beast and use the drill arm to inflict damage continuously.
The tactics of fighting the reaper are fairly simple. Be sure to bring along a repair tool, as it is almost guaranteed that players will need to repair their prawn suit mid-fight. Once that’s done, enter the suit and find a reaper leviathan to fight. Add a few hull enforcement upgrades and affix a drill arm and a grapple arm to the prawn suit. It's perfectly intact, but utterly useless.Once the prawn suit is built, bring it to a base with a vehicle bay so it can be upgraded. Stasis rifling the reaper, knifing the reaper Then it must have dropped into the roof a bit too much and I couldn't get out of it. Looked like it just kept sitting and standing. Plan further failed when I got the new PRAWN stuck in the roof immediately after constructing it. I get in the seamoth that's inexplicably underwater, get it within 10 metres of the moonpool when the world decides it should be populated with air instead of liquid. I had hoped during this time that I could propulsion cannon it out somehow, because that worked when I'd previously beached it on the Aurora's access ramp, Propulsion cannon wouldn't attach.
The area has decided it wants to be filled with water instead of air this time.
After about twenty minutes of loading, the seamoth is stuck in midair on the other side in the mountain island. So I get to Lava depth, realise the seamoth docked in the cyclops is useless from now on, instead of trying to pilot the thing out which would take hours given the freezes I was getting and the 0.04fps I was averaging, I enable nodamage and head for the nearest portal. Went down to inspect a spire with some glowing life on it (thinking it would be a better place to stick around and wait for daybreak to get my bearings when I heard a bang and wound up outside my seamoth (probably because I pressed E in the ensuing startled keysmash) Looked around to see a Reaper carrying the seamoth away - it hadn't been destroyed yet and maybe I could have saved it, but it had been only 11 minutes since my last save and I hadn't done anything other than get lost, so I just exited and reloaded. Later, I let a reefback lead me to the dunes in the dead of night falsely believing that reefbacks avoid biomes with other leviathans. It was taking its sweet time loading a wreck, and by the time it actually popped in I found myself inside it, in a chamber that was just big enough to hold my seamoth but with no openings that a seamoth could hope to pass through. To be fair, the first time was due to the game not playing fair with me. I've yet to "officially" lose my first seamoth, but there have been two cases where I honestly should have lost it if I was playing fair. I then stayed in the safe shallows for a while after that. I freaked out so much I instinctively just ejected and, not even bringing out my Seaglide, just started swimming for home. Suddenly I hear a scream which I hadn't heard before and this thing hurtles out of the blue in front of me and grabs my Seamoth while screaming at me. I turned around to have one last look at where I had come from before leaving for home. Finally got to the red grass and boy was I happy to see those Sand Sharks and little Biters. I started making my way towards it constantly spinning around looking for any sign of danger. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?" I freaked out even more but managed to find where my lifepod is. Still freaking out by what I just saw my fear quadrupled when all I heard was "Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. I turn to see a Ghost Leviathan, though I didn't know what it was back then, and promptly freaked the fuck out and just left in whatever direction I could. All of a sudden I get smacked forward and take a bit of damage. Looking back I was damn lucky not to meet a Reaper.Īnyway daytime hits and I decided to explore in a different direction and I end up in the Grand Reef looking at the amazing floating glowing bulbs and ghost rays. By that time it was night and I was waaaaay to frightened with all the shaking and what not so I booked it home. While looking for a way in I went to check out the back and slowly circled the entire ship before finally making it to the front. When I finally finished it I decided to take it for a spin and went to go check the Aurora out. As I had literally no clue about this game it took me quite a while before I was able to build my Seamoth. First destroyed Seamoth is actually quite funny.
