I went to the surface at the speed of light and when I calmed down and came back, I saw what you saw (and explained why this Reaper was so quiet), he was going in and out of terrain like it wasn't even there. He did not attack me but was so close I though he had grabbed my Seamoth. But once, as I was carefully looking for blueprints in my Seamoth, not too far from the Mountain area, I look left, nothing, look right, nothing, look left again and I'm face to face with a Reaper. I'm always very careful of Reapers because everything about them is scary.
Then I watched it happily frolic in the sand for a few minutes (bastard seemed proud of itself).Įxact same thing happened to me. I didn't know they could DO that! It gave me an 80% smooch as I fled to shallow waters. Suddenly, I was face-to-face with a Reaper. I had just seen a Sand Shark leave the area, so I was swimming from piece to piece as quickly as I could in case it doubled back. I was on a "shopping trip" for titanium with my seamoth, by the central west side of the Aurora. I managed to make it to the surface, and seaglided straight back to home base in a shock. My newly-created seamoth was defenseless, only equipped with pressure, battery and 2 storage upgrades, and was destroyed after my pitiful attempt of escape from his first bite.ģ. I was only in there for a few seconds, thinking it was some sort of in-development biome, when I heard roaring from nowhere.Ģ. Pretty much my experience when entering the dunes for the first time, except:ġ. Even in creative mode staring at the Reaper Leviathan's face while he grabs my Seamoth is something I find terrifying. Yikes! I bet you had to turn the computer off just to calm down. And wish the game alcohol in it's programing. I hear the damn thing right behind me and CHOMP!!! For the 3rd time in 15 minutes I am staring into the maw of hell, he releases my poor battered seamoth and I try to scramble for the surface when he grabs me again and this time he CRUSHES the seamoth around me and I am in serious trouble I have about 20 health, my seamoth is in fragments heading to the ocean floor and there is a Reaper RIGHT BELOW ME! I get to the surface, swim to the Aurora, swim back to the life pod. I open up my seamoth as fast as it's poor little engine will go and try to get to the surface. So I dive deep, to try and get past him.and he's chasing me. And of coarse in order to cross the front of the ship, I have to go into open water again, where there is ANOTHER Reaper Leviathan swimming around. So I head up, fix her up again, then head to the front of the ship, in the shallowest area I can find under the ship. Well I get maybe another 20 yards before my poor seamoth gets ravaged again by a 2nd Reaper that I hadn't noticed. Eventually he lets go, I book to the surface, and begin welding my seamoth back together. Well he caught me from behind, turned seamoth to face down his throat, and made my underwaer unclean. I spot a Reaper, and he's about a hundred yads away or so, so I make a point of giving him a WIDE berth. AFTER I get a seamoth, I go to the far side of the Aurora hunting for minerals and fragment and whatnot. All that and nothing but a seaglide.īut it gets better.
Then he spots me comes up, and I just BARELY manage to scoot underneath him as he glides right over my hiding place amongst the rocks. One was by the tail end of the ship, I get over a mound of upturned soil and find a Reaper RIGHT THERE!! He's patrolling the deep section behind the ship, but I'm above him and in the shallows. I've had a couple of terrifying run ins with Reapers. I kept darting out for a few seconds with the laser cutter before frantically going back to the cyclops even though the reaper never noticed me. I'd never been so paranoid, especially since it was a hardcore save. More recently, I visited the mountain biome wreckage and was alarmed to see a reaper patrolling very closely. I was almost at the mushroom forest near the dunes when one of them caught up and grabbed me again. I'd completely forgotten about the perimeter defense and rode out the storm. I got inside just as it grabbed the seamoth and I was treated to an excellent, if terrifying view of its esophagus. I was only alerted because it cast a shadow in the headlights. Then when I finished loading the seamoth with quartz one of them came charging down towards me. There were three of them far above, they looked almost serene as they glided through the obsidian waters like great blue streamers. The time I ventured into the Dunes for the first time in my seamoth (At night!), unaware that it's pretty much the Reaper's breeding ground.
