Finally i was able to kill the Shadow Leviathan...

[Yuz]

Without the Stasis Rifle or ultra glide fin...

I was trying to kill this thing for an hour! Chasing him with the seaglider but the leviathan was too fast. How to stab something i can't catch? Then i saw him trying to eat the prawnsuit! Cool, instead of trying to catch, i will wait outside the suit... everytime when he was trying to eat the prawn suit i was able to strike 4 to 6 times with the knife, then repair the damage of the suit and repeat. After a lot of waiting and stabing and repair, i killed the leviathan, before i starve to death, or run out of bateries.

I really need a whale harpoon... why i can't make one with my knife? :-(

Why Margerit can have a leviathan head as trophy but i can't? :-(

[dukmallard]

Or the Prawn harpoon she has attached to her mech.

Did the leviathan respawned later? I want to kill every aggressive leviathan in the game

[Yuz]

No it didn't. But it was long time ago and after several updates i don't know if they changed something.

But in Subnautica 1, i killed all leviathans of Lost River area and they never respawned.

thanks for the info, I'm gonna try use the toxic gas torpedoes ^^

Before they remove the stasis rifle from the game Below Zero, i killed all leviathans, the hidden crystal cave was still under construction, and they never respawned too. The only leviathan i couldn't kill was the ice worm, it was invulnerable to anything.

Leviathan do not respawn.

Knife is 20 damage, Thermal Blade is 40.

Why use the knife? Double punch is 80 damage (you can get 5 to 8 double punches per grapple), Jumping at it will cause another grapple. Often after this, the Leviathan gets disoriented allowing you successive jump punches.

You can handle 3 grapples without destruction. After 2 grapple run away and repair...

If you play hardcore, park your Seatruck a safe distance away with teleport pod... if your suit gets destroyed you can use the tether tool to teleport to safety.

I tried killing the chelicerate punching him, and I also think it's the best way, but if you think about it, the kinfe is a really fast weapon, so it can be useful (?)

Yes you can use the suit to kill things, but if you can kill with the knife it means you don't need to build one prawnsuit to kill creatures that is on your way. I was used to kill with the combo stasis/knife. After removing the stasis from the game, i had to try without it.

[Andrew]

I only play hardcore, so 1 life and 1 death. Grapple and punch or double punch will yield higher damage than using a knife. People use the Stasis Rifle in SN and knife. Without stasis, it is not as efficient.

[Yuz]

I only play in hard too, but the knife is the only weapon i can carry everywhere and craft early in game, so it is my primary weapon of choice. Without stasis it's more challenging but not impossible. Except the ice worm that may still be invulnerable, i don't know, i not playing this game for months.

I take the PRAWN Suit everywhere, Grapple Arm makes it able to go anywhere and gives it more speed than the seatruck. When running away from danger, like the Worm, I spider-man away very quickly, with the grapple arm.

Jump + grapple pull on the ground and release quickly, gives a huge boost in speed.
Jump and then tapping and release jump to cross chasms.

I've got that question, is the Ice Worm invulnerable?, I've tried to hurt it with the PRAWN suit and he didn't seem to care (?)

[Yuz]

I tried to kill last year without success as the first time, so I think it's still invulnerable.
