[@BETRvids]

Seeing people in the chat saying "it's not that scary" reminds me of people who tell me spiders aren't scary, when I have crippling arachnophobia. When you have an irrational fear, being told "it's not that scary" is so dismissive of your fear. It's literally an IRRATIONAL fear! It's in the name! Kudos to you for facing your fear and actually playing Subnautica to completion. My fear of spiders is so bad that when I play a game that has them, I need my friends to log on and take care of them for me. LOOKING AT YOU ENSHROUDED, WITH YOUR CAVE FULL OF SPIDERS WHERE AN UPGRADE ITEM IS KEPT!

[@QueenofPascalities]

While I was in the alien building on the shooty-shoot island, a Reaper clipped through a wall (yes, where I was supposed to be SAFE). It couldn't attack me, it was just stuck there, flailing around. Still terrifying. Also, as a fellow thalassophobe, at some point I just looked up guides on where the dangerous leviathans were and what biomes to avoid. I kept as close to the sea floor as I could, because that meant things could only attack me from above, unless the guides told me to stick to the surface. It took a lot of convincing and verbal butt-kicking from a non-thalassophobic friend to get me to leave the "easy" areas and keep going deeper. So much of what you said during this playthrough, about considering just living out the rest of your days in the Shallows, and viewing it as a personal victory to actually finish the game, are things that I felt and thought during my own playthrough. I've gone through the game, I've watched countless videos of lore and playthroughs, and still this game terrifies me. Watching your playthrough, knowing exactly what would happen, still terrified me. Good on you for finishing the game, and count yourself lucky that you never found the Void.

[@Beelz55]

Funny thing about the void, I found it by accident. I was lost in my submarine, on the surface searching for the big gun island again. I was looking for the big mountain in the distance. I traveled in the direction I thought it was in until I got the message about entering the ''ecological dead zone''. So I turned around and went back the way I came. I later found out I was maybe a few seconds shy of having some new friends attack me on the surface.

[@HanaFilms1]

Honestly, I had a mild discomfort being in deep water where I couldn't see what was around underneath - but playing subnautica likely amplified that into a full blown fear for me. Loved the game to bits though!

[@opwracker8928]

This should go on TV "Australian KZbinr Beelz overcame his thalassophobia and beat subnautica". This is a great accomplishment, and a huge encouragement to people with phobias. And man, watching this took me back to the old days when I binge-watched a subnautica playthrough for the first time. My god the nolstalgia! This game/series managed to create a vast ocean with every area designed in detail. The biomes and creatures are bizzare, some are also beautiful. Despite the bugs, this game/series is amazing. Edit: This game is ten years old. I can't believe what the devs accomplished at that time. For some reason, I have much more memory of this game then subnautica below zero, weird. And yes Beelz, this means it's not over yet. I look forward to your subnautica below zero playthrough

mad props to you because even without thalassophobia, this game TRULY terrorizes your subconscious. it makes for a better horror game than a lot of actual horror games i’ve played. i cannot imagine taking the metaphorical and literal plunge in if i also had thalassophobia cause the game already stressed me out beyond belief without it! as a side note, i played this game modded with my partner as a “co-op” to ease my own fear, but since its an unofficial multiplayer it tends to have a lot of bugs. for me, the biggest issue was that the reapers ALL TURNED INVISIBLE. so somehow even more terrifying than seeing the reaper face to face… is having your seamoth suddenly start shaking around without your control before breaking and having never seen the culprit. it haunted me, man

[@SAJWrongtree]

If you were wondering why the reaper wasn’t attacking you, it’s because they are quite lazy and will not just attack because they feel like it and it had just eaten several other things first, so it probably saw that the seamoth is a more difficult prey than the stalkers and sand sharks and just didn’t bother with it.

[@Raghetiel]

Not really. Reapers loop around their target. That's what he was trying to do. Retreat, so that he could ambush you later

[@FallenLotus]

More specifically, reapers only make their sounds as a deterrent at the start, so you will leave because they can see you. But if you don't, they'll come at you.

[@firestarex3544]

One thing people forget about the Reaper is that it's an animal, not a monster. Reapers will attack other creatures along with the player, so the only time one is going to zero in on you constantly is if there is no other prey around.

[@theterrorofdimensions1326]

The Reaper is programmed to target most of the other fauna in the game first, and the player is considered a secondary target in comparison. The only exception is whenever they are piloting the cyclops sub. Which makes sense, because the player is ridiculously small compared to most of what the Reaper otherwise consumes.

Beelz play Subnautica with Thalassophobia is something really special, I have waited for the Beelz's scream for soooooooo long

[@Gareenify]

Subnautica: Do you have thalassophobia? Me: no. Subnautica: Would you like to?

[@Stigma-zo2tx]

What you are truly scared of is "never ending abyss" or never seeing an end and not knowing what comes next.

You were coloring your vehicles in colors only the fully colorblind could laugh about. _You're just like me, frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!_

Great video, can't believe that I procrastinated and ended up watching this all night instead of doing my assignment. I do wish you had the chance to go to the Dead Zone and the Dunes but maybe something to consider for a future follow-up video?

You found the secret for unlimited energy! Charging the Cyclops batteries from the Cyclops batteries!

Whoever wrote the "Special needs reaper." You made laugh for an hour at that joke.

I just found your channel and I’m having a blast. I’m sorry for all the suffering you endured during your playthrough of Subnautica tho lmao

[@vutysersuxxx5236]

fun fact: after the Aurora explosion you can go behind it for easy seamoth parts and resources

I want to say, i'm fairly sure i have thalassophobia, and it was much worse 5+ years ago, but after forcing myself to play subnautica it is much less severe. When i first started and went to anywhere you can look down and see just ocean and no floor i got a physical reaction in my toes and feet to curl them up, and it felt terrifying. but little by little it got better, and lo and behold subnautica is in my top 5 favorite games of all time. I'm glad you gave subnautica a chance and were able to see how great of a game it is.

[@brandonwolken8477]

The reason why the reaper didn't see you in that one scene is because reapers are blind but when they let out their Roar that's a form of echolocation so that means I can see you if you can hear them

[@meriahrz3235]

I agree that being under the floating island is nausea inducing

[@joemama2737]

I remember finding subnautica when the reaper had like JUST been added. I watched it’s development from then to release. The fact that the game turned out how it did and is still popular to this day is really awesome

[@jackgeorge9478]

Rather brave actually to go out and scan leviathans, most players just see them and go “nope, I’ll be going the other way now”

[@EnchantedTeaTime]

I’ve had Subnautica for about 2 years, but I was way too scared to play, even in Creation mode. Watching this video helped me get over a few of the fears that held me back from playing, and I’ve been playing for almost 3.5 hours now. Thank you for helping me overcome a little bit of my thalassophobia
