Should I kill the sea dragon leviathan?

[APairOfSocks]

I’ve already killed a reaper and a ghost. Planning on going to the lava lakes to complete the game, and I want to eventually kill a sea dragon. Should I do it when I go down there for the first time, or should I sneak passed it and wait for another time

Get rid of him first, then you can explore at your leisure.

I suggest sneaking around first and killing second just so they won't become extinct

There's three of them. The one in the lava lakes and near the thermal plant are the most annoying, so I'd recommend taking those out and leaving the other one in the ALZ if you just want to keep one alive.

If you're gonna do it, then do it, but I'd recommend just leaving 'em be. Go around them.

If you are going to kill one, killing the one in the ILZ as soon as you can makes life a lot simpler.

Caution: Even though the HPs are not any more than a Reaper, they aren't as "easy" as either of the others.

So you didn't really need to ask us.

If you don't care about achievements or done them already, you can kill them all and than justt spawn another ones via console.

You can totally dodge it. All the creatures are pretty easy to avoid in this game, I don't see the point in killing them

1: Buildings a base in peace. Because base building is one of the core ideeas of this game.

2. Going down with the cyclops (RIP if you don't realise how annoying this is) and don't want to risk it to break...... Btw, if you create one that you don't care if it get destroyed: RAM it into any leviathans (freeze it before in place!!). Nothing does more damage, aka save you a lot of time.

As a 3rd: nothing bothering you as you drill the big minerals chunks.

4th? No rush, you can explore everything without worrying if something will soon bother you (btw, if someone didn't realise, you can track them via the scanner room's search)

5: no more roah noises

I had the opposite experience. The reaper was to thin so i had issues using either the knife OR the suit (we are talking reaper in ocean, far from ground), since suit something fell off. And of course, due to smaller hit box, missing occasionally the freeze shot. This one? No issues freezing, even if in "air", can just climb on top with the suit. Using knife? If the reaper might have turned (aka lose balance), this one? I just sit on it, freeze it so it doesn't shake me off, and repeat.

Point being, for me, exactly because of it's massive hit box, this one was more easier then the other (unless you count how easily you kill other via ramping cyclops)

Btw, for anyone not aware:

Freeze any of the leviathans.... And construct platforms to trap them=)))))) (careful, if it's to small, they will pass through wall)

Dump poison pods into your stasis bubble. Many veterans atest this is fastest.

YES BUT BE CAREFUL BECAUSE SOME TIMES THERE IS TWO SEA DRAGON'S
