Anything worse than a reaper?
I'm kinda new to the game so i was wondering if there's anything worse than the reaper i found at the aurora.
The phasers i found are a pushover and the reaper is easily juked (except once he just popped up next to me and my seamoth is too slow to juke around it so he broke it, i still got away fine anyways though).

Basically i'm just curious if there's anything that's an actual threat or is that the extent of subnautica terrors.
A simple yes or no is fine, i don't wanna spoil it too hard for me.
Just curious since i read posts about the big bad reaper and honestly, kinda anti-climatic.

There Is another thing that is in the lost river but it is about the same threat level as the reaper. Same thing is found at the edge of the map but a lot bigger.

That is some quick responses.
That's what i wanted to hear, thanks :)
Having that pushover as the worst thing would have put a dent in my enjoyment with the game.

Most people don't realise but the most dangerous place in this game is in fact a cave in one of the kelp forests.

Full of wall to wall crashfish.

meh, nothing is much of a threat in this game actually. the reaper is almost just as dangerous as a ghost levaithan if you're going by cyclops, though the ghost levaithans definitly attack harder at the seamoth. but the sea dragon can sometimes be a mediocore yet enjoyable challenge when faced. its pretty stressful actually when you're driving a big tin can in the middle of its nest and then it starts blasting fireballs at ya. 2 seconds later you got a buncho holes in the ship and a fire going on in one of the decks below, and you potentially could still have it chasing behind you. lovin this game lol

in the early game when ya got no seamoth or prawn or cyclops (which would be too big) to fit in there, and caves would be your main ways of getting resources, then ye, that'd actually be the most harmful thing in the game lmao.

You went way out of your way to drop some spoiler bombs.
I respect the boldness but still, wth xD

If crashfish are the bomb bois that pop out of sulfur flowers, they are outmatched by the seaglide easily. Not a threat. Just turn tail and bolt it.

eh, i didn't really think it was much of a spoiler, sorry if it was. i thought it was more of a reveal on how stressing gameplay can be when ya eventually get to that point. if you know how a cyclops does against a normal reaper or ghost levaithan, then sea drag would be almost the same, so its not really much of a diff. and the rest was pretty much just a damage comparison on the various vehicles of the game. yeh that might've been an actual spoiler to the people reading this, sorry for that, but i was assuming you'd know what most of those are at the moment. idk wether to treat most people as mid-gamers or beginners ;-;

anyways another reason for that is because i dont really believe in spoilers on this game anymore. i could tell ya that the sea drag is very similar to every other levaithan in the game, but its not the attacks that make the game spoiled, its the feel that you get from the fight that really completely separates a reaper fight and a sea dragon fight. i think the only real way to spoil is to literaly watch a vid on it. and sorry yet again for the spoils that you might've heard.

No worries, not that big of a deal. Names and attacks aren't that big of a deal. I guess after all it's an atmospherical game at it's core. Seeing is the real experience here. I'm just glad there's worse than that reaper doodle out there. Enough to keep me excited.

Edit: i don't even have the cyclopse BP yet and i need some gel for the mark 3, like i said, kinda new but usually fast learning.

The Reaper is a Leviathan Class Predator.. and yes, there are bigger and badder monsters of that classification in the world of Subnautica.
Reapers are actually the single most dangerous creature in the game purely due to their aggression. No other leviathan type has the potential to chase you down like Reapers do.

Ghosts are territorial, they only attack if you enter their turf. Once you vacate, they go back to minding their own business.

Sea Dragons are more dangerous than Reapers on a technical level, but that’s only if you’re stupid enough to swim right in front of its face. They tend to do “fly-bys” more than actively go after you.

Only other creatures to worry about are the Sea Dragon Leviathans, Ghost Leviathan Juveniles, and Adult Ghost Leviathans, though the latter may never be met in normal gameplay unless you actively look for them.

Overall I'd say that they're not too bad to deal with, and only the Sea Dragon is a bigger threat than the Reaper since they are actually prey to it, but Reapers are otherwise the apex predator.

That said, the only one you'll probably have problems with is the one near the front of the Aurora. All of the other ones can be avoided unless you're looking for something special in the Dunes.

As stated before i already know about the one at the auruora bjt out of curiousity. Are they killable and if so do they respawn? I don't feel like save scumming to try and find out.
