When was the first time you saw a reaper leviathan?

[Flank Thicksauce]

Mine was when I was exploring the aurora for the first time, I haven't played subnautica in a while. So I don't remember much of it. But I think I was exiting the aurora in my seamoth and than I heard a loud noise, and suddenly, he came out of nowhere and destroyed my seamoth, I might have survived. But the seamoth didn't. R.I.P Seamoth 360-420

Wasn't my first but still my favorite - totally snuck up on me and took me by surprise, had to change my shorts.

I was happily exploring the aurora , had music going on so i didn't hear the roars , armed my seaglide , jumped out of the wreckage , you get a 10/10/10 score from that dive , and them BAM , landed right into Harbingers...i mean the Leviathans mounth. Had a different Reaper in my head for a second there.

Heading straight to the safe shallows-style part of the Aurora crash site, facing the red grass. A Reaper Leviathan burst out of the cliff wall and grabbed my Seamoth.

Fun. I wish they kept that Reaper spawn in the shallows by the crash site.

I was swimming around the back of the Aurora's boosters and I was looking behind me because i heard a strange noise and the Reaper just rose up from the depths Just below where i was milliseconds ago. This game is too spooky, even on creative.

Four showed up right on top of me in the crash site.

This was awhile ago, but I still remember it pretty clearly... *wry grin* I was coming back from the Aurora for the first time ever, and was fleeing coming back to the Safe Shallows with one in pursuit of me. IIRC, he hit me once and didn't quite kill me - so I thought I might hide in one of those smaller Coral Tube's. Uh, NOPE, he clipped right thru it and killed me. ;)

Mine was when they first were introduced and I was trying to find a way into the Aurora. This was my first play through and people were mentioning Reapers but I had no idea what they were. I was full butt pucker when I went down with the ship. I still wake up in cold sweats and relive that moment every time I even hear their roar.

I was hunting fragments back when they were all over the seabed randomly. I remember being very short of one specific piece (probably base filtration at that point) and I was very far west in the Sparse Reef or Grassy Plateau. The terrain had become very open and I realized I had to be very close to the Dunes. I started hearing far-off Reaper roars. But I spotted a fragment...

I crept over to it and thought I could see all around me. I hit F1 to see if I was in the Dunes yet (I wasn't), and only realized that I was hovering low over a berm - a ridge in the sandy bottom - when Mr Reaper hopped out from behind it like a Crabsnake on steroids and snatched me, tossing me back into the Plateu when he was done.

Between that encounter and the way you can always spot one seemingly the INSTANT you cross into the Mountains or Aurora's zone, it really convinced me they were excellent border guardians. Step even 1 meter over the biome border and BAM, Reaper attack. At least, the first thee times I braved those spaces that's how it was.

I encountered my first reaper when i was exploring the mountain island. I was collecting materials and just exploring the scenery. The audio was bugged out and i couldnt hear the roaring, it clipped through the mountain terrain and ate me through the rock face.

Mountain island here. Luckily wasn't close enough to do anything. I was gathering urnanite , looked down and there he was. I noped right the ♥♥♥♥ out of there and didn't go back for two games. XD

I don't remember, but probably was when I was looking for new areas to get more blueprints. The moment I am in a place too "open" I start going paranoid and as soon as I see a silouette, back to a safe place.
