No Sea Dragons in either lava zones

[Jimbopanda]

I have only just recently downloaded Subnautica and I've loved it so far.

I watched a few YouTube videos prior to downloading the game and in each one I saw 2 Sea Dragon leviathan's in the inactive lava zone and 1 in the Lava Lakes.

However, I have just entered the Lava Lakes and didn't see a single sea dragon. I then went back into the Inactive lava zone, scouted the whole area and again didn't see a single one. I have seen one before though, where it attacked my cyclops and then left, outside the Lava Castle.

Here are a few screenshots showing the lack of sea dragon's.

As this is my first play-through, I felt it was too easy as there was nothing to challenge me in the Lava Lakes and so the whole Lava Lakes area felt underwhelming.

Does anyone have any idea why this has happened?

sometimes they can glitch through the walls and not come back

Yeah, turns out they did get glitched outside the walls of the map, thanks!

I really hate that about these guys. I don't have a lot of legit complaints about this game but this is one of them.

Great idea, but the execution is lacking. He's not even scary, he just kind of floats around and rarely ever hurts me even though he's always trying, and the constant phasing through walls is just so frustrating.

He's kind of giant ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I just pretend years of living in the lava zone cooked his brain and try to ignore the fact that a giant dinosaur just swims right through solid rock. He doesn't disappear on me though... he just swims right back through...

I think they should shrink him, make him faster, and more deadly, and more populous. He should be scarier than a reaper and he's just not...

To be honest, after encountering it twice, it does not really do anything like you said and the walk-through-walls is very annoying. I find them much less scary than ghost and reaper leviathans to be honest also

Works good in my game.

Maybe your cpu's are too busy chugging to load everything, so not much is getting used by the ai.

In fact the first time I went in there, I was i nthe prawn suit; he took pot shots at me.
I came back later in the cyclops and immediatly upon entering the big cavern got agrooed and almost sunk by it!
Didn't help that I was going around in circles there. :-o

Scarrierst moment of subnautica!
