It had shifted from this malevolent force that made me sit inside a wrecked piece of ship until I was nearly drowned just from hearing its roar, to a reason to use silent running. Reapers had essentially become part of the scenery, something that just needed to be avoided or dealt with, rather than feared and run from. From then on, it was downhill, by the time I had a cyclops, and felt prepared to explore that mysterious cave entrance by the mushroom forest. The next time I had an encounter with a Reaper was far more mundane, something to do with collecting salvage in the dead zone and my first use of the stasis rifle. The reason I think that is because you can only really have one of those encounters once per "enemy" for lack of a better term. Luckily I escaped, Dart earning his name and a fair few upgrades, but as I felt in relative safety, hiding in one of the coral tubes of the shallows, I genuinely though this event was scripted with how well put together it was.Īnyways, what I'm trying to say is that the Reaper isn't not scary, no, that's not why I don't think it's not the scariest leviathan. Eventually, I got the idea to turn tail and run, but by the time I did that, the roar was right on me, I knew if I turned around I'd be sitting next to Jonah and Geppeto, eating fish bones for dinner and sleeping in some things gut. Whenever the roars had drawn close enough to cause concern, I could see a shape just outside of my view, causing me to activate the flashlights on Dart to cut through the muggy water, as you might expect that did jack. In my hubris I suspected it was something like the last leviathan I had encountered, a tough roar, but harmless altogether, I could not have been more mistaken. Though as I drew closer to the ship, keeping myself on the surface and doing exactly what I remembered o'l Marky Mark did, I could hear those old distant roars, the one's I heard when I drew too far from the shallows when gathering copper, or running from those underwater creepers. Which is to say I kept putting I off because I was scared, but still! By the time I headed towards the megalithic structure half submerged in water, I had enough dried food for a several day journey, water to match, all the beginning tools, a large air tank and even a fully customized Seamoth (named him Dart, if you were curious). All of this meant that I generally knew what to do at first and where to go, I knew that the big ship was where I was supposed to go, and that some big fish fuck was gonna be waiting for me, so I went in ready. I did not come in to Subnautica with no foreknowledge, I had watched- as I'm willing to bet many of you have- the first few episodes of Markiplier and Jacksepticeye's Subnautica let's plays, in fact those shows were what convinced me to buy the game. That first encounter is absolutely brown pants material, no doubt, it is a well crafted encounter almost every time, and my first run-in with a Reaper was no different. Listen, I know exactly what you're thinking, and I get it. That being said, the Reaper is not the scariest leviathan in the game by a long shot. If there's anything you'd like me to change or add, just tell me on the comment section below.Okay, I'd like to preface this by saying that this is entirely based in opinion, and I'm not trying to actively step on anyone's toes by saying what I'm about to say. *SPOILER* Reaper leviathan seems to be the leviathan responsible for the destruction of the Deep Grand Reef Degasi Seabase.
