How to kill a leviathan!

[Ket]

Type damage 999 into the console and then take a knife and stab the desired leviathan. Tadaa

Soo what exacly is here to discuss? This is just how to cheat.

or a legit non cheaty way, use a stasis rifle, a knife and loads of patience, or a Prawn with a drill.

3 full power stasis rifle rounds, and 180 stabs with the heat knife are all it takes ;)

'instagib' works well too though.

Prawn fists are better.

Unless you have trouble aiming, but fist grappling combo can help with most annoying fish.

I did the same thing as OP just now, and I may have goofed a little before figuring out the default damage value before setting it to 999 to kill the Leviathan I caused to end up in the starting area.

Any ideas on resetting it to default damage? Just whatever number it is would be nice to know, but Googling it yields only console commands. :/

is it worth killing? do they come back ?

In my opinion, no. They don't drop anything and the game's not built around killing everything, so all I've done is cause myself some massive headache by setting the damage value at 999, insta-killing everything without knowing the default value.

I should've read further to what Peeper said above and just typed instagib since that can be turned off with ease.

Also, changing the damage multiplier doesn't just affect the damage you deal but all damage in the game. That means you're increasing the damage that hostile creature deal too.

At values that high, your Prawn Suit will get demolished in one hit if they strike first.

Use instagib if you really want to do this.

using the prawn with drill and/or torpedos will save you taking lots of damage, but it will literally take forever to kill the leviathan
