Leviathans

Hi, will there be any aggressive leviathans in open ocean? Reapers and ghosts were so awesome.

There's the Celicerate. I think that counts as in open ocean. (As far as BZ has open ocean.)

[claudluciffer]

there also shadow leviathan, even though not in open ocean, nothing worst then encountering leviathan in closed space where there is nowhere to run and hide. underground caves so huge, enough to home several leviathan class creature,
subnautica below zero provide not just large open water experience, but also large underground and land experience as well
oh yeah, you'll also find aggressive leviathan on land as well

Celicerate is lame. Too small to be feared.

They have nice design, but aren't that big and have so small areas where they will attack, you see them from distance and then it's easy to just swim around...

You right about the caves and land, I just miss the feeling from first game. When exploring open sea, always had to check if there isn't reaper or ghosts deeper. In this game there isn't anything, what you have to be wary of... predators here are more annoying then scary.

Whether a predator is annoying or scary also has a certain factor of how quickly you get used to the size factor. Couple days ago I was harvesting rich nodes in the brine biome in Subnautica and I actually straight up murdered the ghost leviathan near the massive ribcage to get it to stop yelling at me.

Reapers, I have to admit though, have a certain something about them. I think it's the way they sometimes manage to actually attack quietly - you'll hear one yelling in the distance, then silence, then all of a sudden your Seamoth's alarms start blaring and the Reaper screams in your face as it tries to crush its way into the Seamoth. Despite being used to them, that situation has still occasionally jumpscared me.

I think that's the biggest problem of crocs and squid-sharks, they are too overpopulated. You become quickly used to them. Even croc sounds, which are really something are then annoying if, you here them nonstop in their region...

Reapers have something about them right. I had to put one down, cuz he got all buggy on me and decided to change his region right next to my spawn base, but even then I am still wary of them more then anything else in first game.

They're not tethered to any particular point that I've found. If they chase something, or get scared off by a burst from the Seamoth defense system, they can end up anywhere. I got two of them stuck against some tube corals in the safe shallows playing chicken with them in a Seamoth.

Yep. I've many-many hours in SN but reapers still horrify me.

At least these two around Aurora, I think. They have few hundreds meters to each side where they usually swim, still will go after you of course even out of this area. I tried to get him out with burst, he swam one way, another burst, he swam back and so on :D

Right? I am really hoping for leviathan like that in second Subnautica.
