S.E.Leviathan Enzymes Don't Drop

[Poet]

When you hatch the baby sea emperor leviathans, if you make the critical mistake of leaving the area, being cured becomes a near impossibility. This blocking of end-game content is unncessary.

You can definitely find the juveniles swimming around the world, however, despite the wiki saying so (and who knows if that's true), they DO NOT drop the baby enzyme 42. I followed one around for 30 minutes in real time, and not so much as a single drop. Are we supposed to somehow follow this thing around for longer? An entire mind-numbingly boring hour of staring up the butt of a leviathan hoping that you can simply find the cure?

IF the babies are the only ones that drop the enzyme, they should "leave some behind" in the tank once they vacate it. If the juveniles DO drop it, they should definitely be dropping it more often as finding the juveniles in the first place is not exactly a piece of cake. They travel far beyond their zones. It took me a good 15 mins of swimming around the mountains to find the juvenile there, and another 30 minutes of following it around for what?

So fine.... whatever... I'll just cheat that item in. NOPE! Item has been added to the blacklist of commands and cannot be cheated in by the player. This is on account of an animation that is supposed to occur? Who knows....

Egg drops need a major buff. Majorly disappointing.

Worked just fine for me. They dropped enzyme blobs in the aquarium before heading through the arch and I also saw them dropping them near the entrance to the gun control moon pool. I don't play on experimental.

To be clear, this was fixed in the experimental as of 6 months ago. If this isn't in stable by now, I'd be shocked....

So then how do you get the enzyme if you didnt get it in the baby room or outside the portal?

[lesimulateurclasheur9479]

hooligan if you cant have it just tape in the console chat:playerinfection 0 and after this you can disable the gun

I had this issue, followed a adolescent around for 20 minutes and then headed back to the teleport to the moonpool room and found a number floating around outside there.

But that makes no sense... as when they go through the portal, they IMMEDIATELY go to their appropriate places in the world and become juveniles. He shouldn't be seeing babies "vomiting" the enzymes at all in that area. Spawned in?? Far too many jump cuts to figure out what is legit here, but that certainly isn't.

Actually in my last save with this new update the babies started spitting the cure as soon as they hatched. I was able to cure myself while in the emperors containment area. I followed them through the portal and they do actuall stick around that area for a bit. They do not immediately travel off. Either way they do spit as they go.

I'm not super sure where you got the idea that they IMMEDIATELY move to their respective biomes?

Same thing happened to me. The super-size one spit out a huge glob and I interacted with that one. Then the babies went in the portal and I followed. Once I went trough they stayed around for awhile spitting the stuff everywhere. I have developer build.

I just looked this up because it's first time through the game. There was no indication that I needed to find enzyme globs. So after reading this, I headed back to the portal near thee the enforcement platform, and sure enough there were glowing globs in several places. This was a good hour after I left the area to go do other things. I was thinking I'd get some hint via the computer or a radio message, or the dying mother... but nothing. In any case, now I'm cured and can disable the platform.

Having the same problem 🙄

[David Davidson]

You can always use the developer console and add it.
I don't think it affects achievements, I may be wrong though.

i found the root of this problem, DON'T EVER ever ever ever ever hatch the eggs before the mother sits on the ground, i've done 2 trip of hatching enzyme material gathering, 2 save load because of stuck on this bug, 1 save load because the building interior wont load, i hope this help

[Mr.Moo]

You go through the portal with them. they spawn on the other side of the portal and drop balls. if in doubt look at the thousands of guides on this.

[Salve]

Dont know if this helps, had the same problem, so i searched the net. Now I found the enzyme balls still floating on the teleporter platform near the island with the gun, the submerged teleporter that leads back to the eggs. It was days after the eggs hatched. in betwen i also had found a juvenile, but they dont drop the enzyme. Happy end for me and its really a beautiful story

For the record, it is July 2021, I am playing this game for the first time, and the baby leviathans just didn't drop the enzyme at all. I was recording at the time so I went back and watched to make sure I didn't just miss them, and no, none were dropped either inside the Containment Facility or outside the portal by the Enforcement Platform. I searched and searched. I Googled for at least an hour to try to find a solution, and I am just left bitterly disappointment. I was absolutely loving this game and being very understanding of the couple of bugs I experienced, but this is just so disappointing. I put over 70 hours into this awesome game, and I can't complete the story. I can't even spawn the enzyme in.

if you are in experimental this is due to a bug they are currently experiencing with transparent textures, so the cure is currently appearing as invisible. its there at least i think, but its going to be hard to find. anyway just a word of advice, i know this is along the same original post that this thread is but you are reviving a thread from pre launch or just after launch. im not mad just pointing that out.

[MoooooCow]

Feb 2023. I found this thread because the stuff to cure me didn't drop from the babies.
