Meditating on the Basking Shark

[AlasseEarfalas]

Has anyone been able to do this?

I'm on my second playthrough and I'm in the deep ocean section. All I want is to focus the meditation camera on the Basking Shark so I can sit back and watch it swim ('cause it's purdy). I tried this for a while during my first playthrough and wasn't successful. This time I went so far as to ride the shark as close to the surface and meditation stone as it would let me, then try to jump off and meditate fast enough to catch it before it swam back into the depths. Even when its silhouette was clearly visible from the fish I was focused on, I couldn't get the camera to jump to it, or to any deep-water fish for that matter.

So, is it just plain impossible to meditate on any of the deep-water marine life in that section? Or do I just have to get really lucky?

I never could get a good grasp of the meditation mechanic in general. It says you can use the direction keys (assuming keyboard of course) to target the different fish, but no matter what you press, it seems to just cycle through them in random order. Sometimes it gets "stuck" and just toggles back and forth between the same two fish. I dunno, I wish there was some way to focus on specific fish. Maybe there is but I never figured it out.

BTW, the basking shark was my favorite too. :)

Its eventually possible you just have to keep clicking in a direction.... I wanted to look at some of the prehistoric dinos but it just showing me the same fish over and over again for quite awhile. They should have just had a list of fish on the right of the screen to click on
