Make an Air Bladder. Its such an overlooked tool and its so helpful in these kinda situations when you need to get to the surface from like 100+ meter zones very quickly. And if your very very deep, could give you that 15 seconds of oxygen which might just be what you need to survive.

@@P0551bl3 I know right? I get so pissed seeing any subnautica walkthrough where its not one of the first things they craft. You need to get bladderfish for water anyway at the start, so just get 1 extra, and 1 seedvine cluster gives you 2 silicone rubber, and you only need one for the air bladder. Its so cheap but so useful

it's overlooked because it wasn't working before 2.0 so most people forget about it

I like to imagine Stalkers as curious animals, they'll bite you to get a nibble in if you get too close, but I like to catch Peepers and hold them out while swimming up to Stalkers, then when a Stalker eats a Peeper from my hand I say "Glad to see we understand one another."

Just a tip for reapers, gather a bunch of fish and force-feed them to the reaper one by one. for some reason, they prioritize eating out of your hand as opposed to eating you and it can give you some time to escape as once it's had it's fill, it'll swim off. hope this helps!

[@Shiftry87]

Yeah knowing where those single pieces of Kyanite spawn is a must if u cant use the Prawnsuit. Thats 1 of my main issue with Below Zero that unless u wanna build a mega base and u use the Prawn to drill it is completely useless in Below Zero.

spoiler cant beat the game with no other vehicles than the cyclops the neptune rocket is a vehicle...

[@SirPanikalot778]

Fun fact: You actually never need anything to do with the crash zone to get the cyclops! you can find engine fragments in other areas, like the deep floater islands, and some of the larger west wrecks.

[@wolfen210959]

I found all the engine pieces at the gun platform island, interesting dance with the warper though. lol

[@mister_jayHD]

Cyclops Hull and Bridge can be found in the southern Mushroom Forest. Engine pieces either at the Floating Island or the Crag Field (Lifepod 7).

[@pokeli2728]

Quick note about the power cell charger in the cyclops. It can be used to recharge power cells if you have the thermal charging upgrade (sorry forgot what it's called) and just sit next to a warm area for a while, it will recharge the cells so you can reuse them, think of it like stopping to fill your car with gas. Just a neat tip for power cell chargers in cyclops'.

[@NerdyWolff]

I just wanted to give you a tip for finding stalker teeth for enameled glass because It would take forever your way (no offence), if you have the scanner room blueprint and materials for it, you can build it near the reefs biome and scan for stalker teeth, this makes it much easier to find especially if you've been around the biome for long enough so that stalkers can actually drop them. Sidenote: I'm aware that you cannot build a base for this challenge. Tips aside, great video, really enjoyed watching!

[@ebourque3464]

Yeah but it’s a cyclop only challenge. He can’t build anything else.

[@MarkofWisdom]

I've actually done a playthrough like this, though not as strict as 'never build anything except cyclops'. I did basically completely ignore base building and vehicles to speed through getting a cyclops up and running and then basically used it for the rest of the run as my main base, even getting rid of the original small base I'd made that was a single space wide

[@oniontaster6449]

i remember they used to let you build solar panels ontop of the cyclops to charge it, but they removed it because they wanted players to go deeper with it i also wish you could uset the scanner room cameras from the cyclops. would be nice to have a nippy drone to go explore small places

[@slimyfish]

I’ve never had a cyclops before having the rocket complete so I’ve never truly used it

[@Delta1025]

never seen you before but i love subnautica and you seem chill, thanks algorithm for showing me this video also why cant you use a beacon? that's not really base building it's just to mark locations on ur hud, right?

[@frankiecdg7621]

My best friend actually played his first subnautica run WITHOUT the cyclops. I mean, that prawn suit long walk was fun 😂

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

This is gonna be a significant issues in the Lost River. I believe nickel only spawns in large deposits outside the brine, which requires the prawn suit to get, and small nodes only inside it, so you'll have to dive for that as well as for the crystalline sulfur, though I believe only the nickel is required for depth modules while the sulfur is.. hopefully not a component of the shield module for the rocket, but I can't remember. Also, you can actually get growbed blueprints from some of the Aurora wrecks, though I'm not certain on which ones. I think somewhere between the mushroom forest and the spawn area there's one with that in the red grass or something.

[@dxplayer1176]

a tip for stalker teeth is to bring a stalker out of its habitat by making it chase you and drop it near a safe area and near the surface. a good place would be your spawn base. floaty thingy i forgot the name but yea, in an hour i got 2 full boxes and make sure to put a Beacon so they dont despawn.

[@MageSkeleton]

i'm posting this now, i'm not halfway through the video yet. Part of the dream of using a Cyclops is the utility of also having the seaglide OR the Prawn suit with you. And you need the Moon pool to create upgrades for the Cyclops and those two other vehicles. Would be completely understandable if you built a moon pool as your only "base build" structure only because of these reasons. Also, i wouldn't blame you if you decided to go into the Aurora to repair it's reactor so it stopped leaking radiation into the surrounding area. Thankfully you did at 19:46.

The 3 locations for the cyclops fragments for engine and bridge is in the crash zone and mushroom forest for the hull just the mushroom forest you need 3 fragments for each

[@theelementalgamer5910]

Not even 5 minutes in, think I'll try this myself.

[@alexanderelderhorst2107]

When you said "titanium hunt" I shook my head. That's why you should have at least scanned the other fragments. Sure you can't build them but extra pieces give you titanium for scanning them.

[@jakeymcsouse2772]

Yes, you can do this as long as you don't consider the Neptune Launch Platform a vehicle.

`18:00 Fun fact: Using the Cyclops slow speed not only allows you to go further for the same power, but also makes scary things a little less likely to notice you while the lights are off.

[@user-wy5rd6we1h]

You should try to get charge fins which will be one of the very few ways you can actually charge your supplies. (The cyclops heat generator will be extremely useful)

[@shawnintros6486]

the cyclops does charge power cells faster than it drains... just very slowly, like 10% more battery

[@SirPanikalot778]

In all my time of watching Subnautica lets plays, I have never seen someone so afraid of stalkers. The closest would be PewdiePie. (also in future, make sure to put the metal scrap into your hotbar, it makes getting stalker teeth way easier)

[@acompletelynormalhuman6392]

I did this once in hardcore mode it was fun tho most of what I remember was collecting copper for power cells

[@nickthebest7151]

I think you can charge the powercells in the cyclops if you have a good energy efficiency. I remember that i could do it at some point but it is a couple of years back.

i will just say this but yes, yes you can the only part of the game that would be remotely hard is the active lava zone as you don't really have the time to stasis cannon anything before you drown so you have to hope no enemies will engage you actually you may need kyanite wich idk if you can get other than from drilling so if you can't your only hope is time capsules and im not sure if kyanite is baned from them
