Can't reach the leviathan

[Simwan]

I haven't seen any discussion on this yet anywhere, but i can't seem to reach the leviathan. I can bring my island up to maximum flight altitude (1000), and its still 500 ft or more above that.

I've tried multiple times to get up there, but it starts to throw me around in a storm that high and forces me to re-spawn back on the island.

Other players i've seen just fly their ship right up to it. Not sure what i'm doing wrong. Anyone else have that situation?

i have only just reached the 2nd ring so not sure but do you have the sails needed?

Yes, I noted this problem in a previous post.

I took my island up as high as it would go, then flew off and got over the leviathan in my glider. Then landed on it from above. I needed to use the boost button a lot while flying. And sometimes it was necessary to glide around the leviathan for some minutes, boosting occasionally, before I could find a good height and angle to land on it. Fortunately, gliding doesn't use much energy.

Once you've landed on the leviathan, you already know what to do. That bit is easy. It's getting over the leviathan that's the problem.

In my 1st run, the leviathan really was near 1000; maybe a little higher but not much. When I was chasing him I tried to figure out where he was going to be, reached a point where he was outpacing me and I shut the island down and gave chase... after I won and went back, I was working on the island a lot and he kept making close fly-bys at the same spot/height, like he was like he flying in a large circle. Very picturesque; realized later that if I wanted to take a snapshot of my island this would have been the perfect place with him in the background. Maybe this time... hope he is still at 1000 for me, because it dosnt sound like a guarantee...

Did a scan of bugs for this on discord.... kinda funny. There are 2 bugs made in the last 3 days... one for Leviathian being too high, at around 2500 (user went to 1000 and used spyglass to get distance of 1500 to leviathan). And.. another one for him being TOO LOW; ie less than 90. In both cases they couldnt reach it because the game would send them back before reaching them.

Devs say they are looking into a fix; the guys say that even over time/reloads the leviathan doesnt seem to move to another height.. but they have had success by starting with same character/home island in a new world.

I am have the same trouble. The leviathan is too low. can't get my island down to it. can't fly too it. I get down to around 90 but can't get lower the game wont let me. At the moment my game has ended.

I have the same problem, and it appears to be a bug or a glitch somehow. Dunno if this has been solved with one of the patches that needed a new world made (aka the old world is outdated and can't be patched) or not, though. Just found out I had this problem myself, so haven't been able to check it.

This is a known bug that is being investigated internally
