Are Ghost Leviathans Killable?

[Ghostgirl708]

Hi guys! Me again,

So right now I'm trying to kill a Ghost Leviathan, since the sucker destroyed my cyclops and I dont want to deal with it, so I'm trying to kill it and its taking a long while. I know Leviathans are hard to kill, but I'm starting to think that these aren't killable yet, so are they? Thank
You~! :3

[PreLife]

I'm pretty sure that they are killable.

[Ghostgirl708]

Perfect! Thank you! :3

[Lack of Stuff]

I think they respawn though.

[Ghostgirl708]

They do?! Well, they are pretty cool to look at so yeah that's good but its also bad since THEY WILL DESTROY ME XD

Had to go past ghost leviathans quite a lot lately, in pretty narrow space (lost river), and I found cyclops "silent running" mode to be *really* effective.

I try to stay close to side walls with silent running on, and so far I didn't need shield or decoys to go through. Give it a try if you haven't already ?

there is a path that pretty much always misses going past a levi

that long path that makes up the lost river with the big open area with the giant skelton has a few alternate entrances.

One of those entrances enters that large primary room from the left side. accessed via the bottom of the small blood kelp region.

can scoot past that ghost levi without it even coming close enough to be seen

If you would have utilized the tools of your cyclops properly it would not have been destroyed.
Even without any more upgrades than the mandatory hull- and efficiency-modules the Cyclops can usually prevent or just escape encounters.

With Silent Running active for instance, you have to be VERY close to actually trigger a leviathan.

All good stuff guys! Thanks so much! :3 I finally did kill it, but it was harder than a reaper, so I'm not excited if I would kill it again XD

i killed one with the prawn grappling arm and the drill arm attack on titan style. although that was a juvinile one

I think if you setup a growing bed and stick some of those shooty plants in it, next time it spawns they will chase it away.

[Ghostgirl708]

@MASTAXPLODER that's a fantastic idea! How do i do it?

[MASTAXPLODER]

swim up and kinfe one of them out in the wild and you will get some seeds in your inventory, then just plop down some strategic external grow beds and plant them

[Ghostgirl708]

Coolio man, thanks!

[Just A Goofball]

Simply put, yes they can be killed they just have a TON of health, like half an hour of drilling with the prawn, also even if you do kill them they do respawn like any fish you kill.

I think I managed to kill one by total accident.

I have a habit of putting growbeds full of tiger plants on top of my bases to keep stalkers and other annoying things away. You get 16 in a grow bed. Anyway, I was being changed by a ghost leviathan and swam over a couple. After cleaning my underwear I went back and looked around and couldn't find it anywhere.
