Sea Dragon and gas pods

[50]

Is the sea dragon immune to gas pods? I've literally tried and reloaded like half a dozen types trying to kill this thing but I'm pretty sure they do nothing. I've tried under his head, next to his face, next to his body, literally inside body where you can hit and grapple onto but it never flinches like it would if it's taking damage. I've seen videos of people killing them with gas pods but it's just doing nothing for me, did they change it?

The Sea Dragon has an odd hit box. It's not its head like the other leviathans, it's actually its upper neck/shoulders. This makes it difficult (but not impossible) to consistently find the right spot to deploy the gas pods. However, even if you find the right area, it takes 25+ to kill the Sea Dragon. You'll see it twitching if the pods are inflicting damage.

So if one manage to stasis it then just releasing a whole slew of gaspods next to its neck should do it? I wasn't going to kill any, aiming to sneak past them but one followed a camera back to my base in the ILZ and I can't do anything since it's circling my base and Cyclops.

"One followed a camera..." ???

I certainly believe that you have one hanging out near your ILZ base, but they DO NOT "follow cameras".

But, since you clearly have a Scanner Room and cameras at that base, and you can make more cameras, you could just proceed to ram the Sea Dragon to death with a series of camera drones.

It will take about 200-300 solid hits, which, if I remember correctly, works out to about 8 to 10 drones (or 1 drone repaired a lot), but hey, you're trapped there anyway, right?
