Huge Monster with claws at the face is camping at my base, near the Ship, where you start. (Sub. Noob)

How can i get rid of it? Its getting closer and closer to my main base and the bait thing did not really worked. I fear that it will attack my just build Zyklop and my base where all my stuff is inside:( I think it bugged its way from the Aurora to the low deep place where you start the Game.

Get a bunch of peepers {unccoked}. Hold them in your hand and slowly swim away. It will eat the peepers without hurtin you

that works for the little monsters that like metal, not for the giant leviathan.

Did you try it?

Nothing can destroy your base. Damage it, maybe. But not destroy it.

You're best options are to build a stasis rilfe, shoot it in the face (the one part of it the shot will connect with) and stab it until it dies. It's easier to shoot it with a quick shot, then ones you got it follow that up with a fully powered shot.
Or ifyou have a prawn with a grapple, use that. It's more fun.

Or use a console command to insagib it.

Using these will disable your steam achievements until you next save-quit-load the game.

As to the "why" it's there, that's easy. Something likely hurt it enough that it needed to runaway.
When anything in this game tries to run away they will do so to the maps 0.0 point (i.e. the middle of it). Most don't make it that far and stop off somewhere on the way, but some do make it there like your new friend.

Yeah. You can sneak in and out of the base and it will not hurt it, but that gets old and the constant roaring is irritating.

So your options are to either move the base or kill it.

About critters going to map point 0,0,0 I always build a base there and equip it with tables, chairs, vending machine, and coffee machine so I can enjoy the show in comfort.

Alright, i will try to kill it with the knife and the gun . Thanks for your help guys :)

or just use "cheat mode" and set damage to 100000000000 and 1 shot it to get rid of it i dont consider using consoles for that purpose "cheating" as its a bug "really why is leviathans moving away from spawns still a thing? the devs need to fix this in experimental at some point
