Ghost Leviathan in Grand Reef

[illusion]

Hello!So I want to know where the GL spawn in GR,since I'm too scared to explore.I don't really care about spoilers.Also,is it possible to escape one with a PRAWN Suit once it saw you?(I mean unscratched or with verry little damage).Yes I know that it deals small amounts of damage to PRAWN,but I wanna be sure.
Also,can they wander to the borders with Kelp Forest?If yes,then goodbye GR base

I think they spawn at 1000m depth just at the entrance of the lava zone, so very deep. Also i think you can't outrun them, even with a seamoth. But they are kind of blind sometimes since i walked past one at 20 meters range, with ain't a lot. But i guess it depends on the situation.

Thanks!Also,I read somewhere that GL can wander near the Islands(I think near the surface),but when I went there,no GL was to be seen.

They can though, ive seen that on youtube, so it is possible. But you dont have to worry about them because you can come very close to them for a little while but if you get too close or for too long then they will attack you.

Last I checked, there is only on adult GL in the mid-level area of the Grand Reef over the main canyon that leads down to the DGR caverns where the Degasi base is. It's easy to avoid.

There is no ghost at 1000 meters unless you're in the void. Deepest normal ghosts are juveniles in Lost River at 600-800 meters. GR ghosts spawn at 300-400 meters and pretty much anywhere the GR. If you fear the ghosts, stay far away from the GR as there is no predicting where they will be...

Theres actually two at the moment! Love those things. (no sarcasm I just take an unhealthy liking to the terrors that are leviathans)

Welp I'll still have to explore around there,but I will fight them off since their damage on PRAWN is so little and I also have the drill arm and the hook,so maybe I'll go full cowboy mode in him


But I really... REALLY hate their screech...

PS:by fighting them off I mean just repelling them since there's NO WAY I'm gonna fight one of them

There are two adult Ghost Leviathans in the 200-300 meters range of the Grand Reef, however most the value of the Grand Reef is deeper so if you hug the walls and go straight down you're unlikely to encounter one.

There are two more far below the Grand Reef in the Lost River, however they're younger ones and not nearly as dangerous since they're not in open water.

As for your other questions, my base is postioned near the edge of the Grand Reef and they've never come close, and the PRAWN Suit can easily outrun them with proper grappling arm usage. Otherwise, you're gonna take some bites if they spot you.

There's three in the LR, by the way.

As with most predators, a swift right hook from the Prawn tends to discourage them attacking for a short time.

Most likely the player was unknowingly in the deadzone

Where is the other leviathan in the GR? Is it on the far side by the main Treader path? I've never seen it.

The ghost levis are really simple to beat, just put a hull reinforcement mod on a prawn suit, and bring a repair tool, bam. In my save I have been punching the ♥♥♥♥ out of the leviathan, it only does about 11 damage to your prawn suit with the hull modifier, it literally runs away from you if you damage it enough LOL. I was having trouble aggroing after about 15 prawn suit default arm attachment punches. But yeah, fight on the edges, don't go floating over the hole down to the lava zone, or RIP, ♥♥♥♥♥ and a half to get out of there with a prawn suit and no terraformer. Hope this helps. @TheReaper☠

Yep, that's where it is.
