Can I Complete Subnautica: Below Zero WITHOUT WATER? (Part 1)

After months of waiting, the challenge is finally here! In this series, I'll be trying to complete Subnautica Below Zero without water using the custom water level mod. The first game was already insanely challenging in parts (impossible in others) and the sequel certainly brings many of its own challenges. Will this even be possible? Let's find out!
Watch the first run:
• Subnautica | No Water ...

Honestly this game looks extremely cool without water, looks like some sort of alien planet with no gravity. Wonder if you'll be able to beat this lol

[@TheLastBacon]

Absolutely! It almost looks as if it was intended that way :)

[@DoritosLover04]

I mean, it's actually a alien planet

[@Datlonelydude]

Can I use ur pvp? It’s pretty cool!

[@Datlonelydude]

Pfp*

[@aydish7889]

I think with a bit of adjustment to the map it could easily be a land game

[@United_Nations_Space_Command]

The relaxing music you played was so relaxing and peaceful, I fell asleep on accident. It’s great to listen to in the dark all alone! Please keep using that music for the time lapses. It truly is relaxing.

[@GigaChad-vq7mz]

Think I drifted off for a second too!

[@SternTR]

i know right? except i didnt sleep but its like a studying music or whatever you use it for

[@Nightnightleaks]

Yeah

[@ostrichtheostrich2231]

I agree

[@lizardorsmth6023]

the sarcasim XD

[@LeeTwentyThree]

Yes it’s possible in my experience but it takes placing a LOT of air pipes, building many bridges, and a lot of patience. I ended up making paths out of light sticks to get to important areas. I used the portable pumps to generate heat on the fly. The hardest part was getting in and out of the mining site, I ended up making a staircase out of air pipes…. Propulsion cannon is IMO necessary for getting resources efficiently off of walls. There’s also an exploit with climbing onto unbuilt solar panels iirc. I did a playthrough to make sure my mod was possible

[@TheLastBacon]

Oh you went through this one already? Jeez mad props :) I’ll do my best!

[@armourfarmer595]

The snow fox is going to be really fun in this challenge

[@TheLastBacon]

I bet it will! :)

[@zenphir9051]

If it controlled better.

[@madoakuma4509]

1:00 So, according to all the rules, there is no "is prohibited to touch water" or "do not go out of the limit of the map". According to this, you could theorically go into the limits of the map, enter into the -9999 meter depth water and use the water for constructing the vehicles (or maybe something more) I also really appreciate that great music at 9:32 :v

[@TheLastBacon]

Haha yeah but the map teleports you back at 8192m :)

[@TheLastBacon]

I had a lot of fun actually :)

[@lisahenry20]

The building out of a cave plan reminds me of when I got my prawn suit stuck in the jellyshroom caves in the original game without the grabbing hook or jump upgrade, and ended up building a bunch of corridors to jump onto so I could get out. I imagine it's a lot more painful on foot compared to prawn suit in water.

[@TheLastBacon]

Love that as a strategy though :)

[@zenphir9051]

I got my prawn stuck in a hole due to the weird geometry outside the rim of the glacial basin. I was contemplating reloading my save even though said save was at my base in the lilly pad islands, When I remembered that unbuilt base peices still had collision so I built a ladder out of I-corridors and managed to get it out of that hole. Truly the happiest I felt playing this game.

[@wowz9061]

Glad you made a video for the second version! Excited for the rest of the series!

[@TheLastBacon]

[@hatandhoodie_]

I recommend getting the Prawn Suit if you can, 'cause unlike the first game, it's actually OP on land. I never even built a Snowfox in my first playthrough, because the Prawn Suit was already great. Hell, it's even useful for Skyriming your way on top of the big glacier walls if necessary. I even managed to get mine to Maida's Greenhouse by jumping from iceberg to iceberg after doing this.

[@TheLastBacon]

Thank you for the advice! I’ll definitely try to get it as soon as I can :)

When playing this "normally", I used a combination of the prawn suit grappling arm to glitch-fling myself skyward as well as the ability of incomplete foundation pieces to somehow be solid enough to walk on despite not actually existing. By grappling to something up high and walking in various directions, the grappling hook seems to pull with a lot more force. I built a couple of bases on the ledges overlooking the ice worm areas that way.

I think you could go into the cave, scan the fragments that you need and then keep jumping off any elevated surface you can get to, so you would be back at your lifepod with the blueprint. You won't lose any resources you had before the adventure either, as it will keep all things you had last time you entered the lifepod.

You should make a video about the history of subnautica mods. (waiting for part 2 as well :D)

[@TheLastBacon]

Oh that sounds fun :)

[@fadedparadox636]

Alright so heres a tip for below zero, but of course, SPOILERS! Anyways my tip sounds dumb at first, but its actually super useful. USE THE PRAWN SUIT. This sounds dumb at first, but let me explain it. In the description of the prawn suit, it says its a vehicle for sea AND land, so my tip is yknow that super annoying part where you have to get past the ice worms to get to the cache? Instead of using the annoying bike, just use your prawn suit. It honestly works really well, and the grapple hook physics dont change on land, so you can launch yourself using it. Now you dont have to worry about the cold, or the ice worms because you can just grapple away, or just tank some hits, if it hits you at all.

[@TheLastBacon]

Oh I definitely want to try the prawn! :)

[@springtrap1245]

Man finding mods and finding a way to put them in the right area took alot of time but i got it. But i suggest that you should make a prawn suit so just in case that if you get stuck you can use it as a way out

[@TheLastBacon]

That is a very good idea for sure :)
