Can You Beat Subnautica Without Building A Base?

You can actually fully upgrade the seamoth depth modules with the base one in the aurora seamoth bay. It was a very pleasant surprise when I found it!

[@ixiahj]

In my first playthrough, I completely abandoned my base when I unlocked the cyclops. I used the materials from my base to prepare my cyclops. All the appliances, all the storage, grow beds, I moved it in and the cyclops and it became my base. The only thing left was a moon pool housing my old sea moth.

"can you beat subnautica without using an air tank" basically, your air tank slot has to remain empty the entire run. I would suggest using liberal amounts of the air tubes for early game, since they can reach pretty far (for those that don't know, once the tube connects to the last tube but before you place it you can swim away and the tube will expand)

[@HSukePup]

You can totally beat the game with no bases, no vehicles, AND no habitat builder. It's similar to the same strategy that's used in glitchless speed runs. Now if you want to add no air tanks to that build, there is a way to do that pretty easily too, but it's very tedious and requires a ton of bladderfish.

I had an Incredible thought: so we know it is required to get a Cyclops for the sheild generator, so with that in mind we know it is impossible to beat the game without a scanner, but I was thinking you could see how many scans are REQUIRED to beat the game, and maybe over time you could make more vids if you find anything that can lower the required number. I was already thinking in some speedruns they glitch through the floor to get passed force fields in alien bases, so that might possibly skip needed to scan the purple tablet to open force fields. After seeing your no vehicle run you did it easily until the end, so you don't need to scan the seamoth and if I'm remembering you don't need a scanner to get the habitat tool. Now getting the Neptune blue prints might be har d since I'm pretty sure you need a laser cutter, but maybe there is a glitch you could do, but I'm not sure, I could be over thinking this, but it's an interesting idea.

[@Mast3rKK]

for a glitchless run, theres the cyclops (9) the- holy shit thats the only required scan in the game, right? (unless u count databoxes as scans, then it would be 11 scans total)

Then in the actaul cave systems theres like 3 directions every turn and its pretty easy to use the tree of life or one of the skeletons or the thermal plant as the refrence point since all the huge areas have a big distinguishable item smack dab in the middle of it then the lava area is litterally two giant rooms with the testing room in it i just recalled like 60 percent of the map but i know where the rest are lmao

If you know where the zero point of the map is, its near the coral tube with the single end sticking out of the water. If you go off from there South/South-East you will find a red grass area and it has a jellyshroom cave entrance that is directly over the Degrasi Base. The base is at around 260 meters down. So you can park your Seamoth at 200, but be warned about the crabsnake there. It will let you scan the outside stuff fairly easily with a ready made air pocket nearby. But going inside to get the databoxes and datapads is risky. I recommend a rebreather and bladderfish.

So if he had found those sparse reef ion cubes, he technically could have completed the no vehicles challenge.

[@thepizzacarpizza1056]

If you go into the lava zone pit, (the giant pit that has a little hole in the side) you can park your cyclops there for an extremely long time (forever) and there will be no lava larva to leech off of your cyclops. Trust me, the lava zone pit is the best base spot that deep down. Hot enough for you to need a reinforced suit, but not too hot that you can't chill, close access to an infinite source of ion cubes, and so many other perks. (No leeches)

11:39 - This was literally the first remnants I ever found lol

[@elimabimen6552]

I forgot that you can build bases in the game, I just realized that there’s something called the habitat builder while I was making the hatching enzymes

Im one of the few who have good navigational skills, its a pain in the ass however, one wrong move and you completely lose your sense of direction, happened to me once while i was returning to one of my bases from the mushroom cave, i took a wrong turn near the Safe shallows and wouldnt you know Thats a reaper why im in the dunes OH GOD-

[@PidgeyHowler]

As someone who plays Subnautica without beacons because I hate wasting valuable inventory space for materials, yes, you do basically get lost over and over until you learn the map. I used to make a habit of making random visits to oddly specific locations to sort of train my brain to memorize the paths to important places, objects, and enemies and the things I would likely encounter while making those trips.

[@InfiniteGreninja]

Why do people care so much about him calling the Sea Dragon the “Sea Emperor”? Like yeah he accidentally said the wrong name, big deal.

[@tomdean1876]

Wow he made common mistake, lets smoke him about it.

[@dumber_bozo]

Lol

[@phenics]

He said it like 5 times lol

[@tomdean1876]

@@phenics So? he probably has a script, and wrote it wrong, you don't to beat him over the head with it.

[@phenics]

@@tomdean1876 Whoa hey, don’t get so offended. Just pointing it out...

[@alopexlagopus1488]

In my first ever play through I never built a base as I got the Cyclops quite early and it never occurred to me that I might need one. I finished the game with just the Seamoth and Cyclops. I also never found a second beacon fragment so had to do it without beacons. I made a save just before launching the rocket and then reloaded from that point and went on a completion spree. I built a Prawn and harvested every large mineral node in the game and spent the next 500hours of game time building a mahoosive set of bases all over the map. I had more fun after completing the game than before the story ended. I even had a base from the top of the largest Mushroom tree all the way down to the Lost River via the Blood Kelp entrance.

[@zafhfx]

yes i actually acomplished that easily without even trying i was doing a lets play and for some reason i didnt build a base but i had the rocket thing down and my self cured

[@HelpIdkAGoodUser301]

I don’t need to put a beacon at jellyshroom cave cos my base is accidentally right next to it lol

[@sydneyhunter2807]

I actually did this when I first played... It was a night mare

[@yaboyrgonyoutube3718]

oof...

[@XORcircuit]

Dud this dude really call the Sea Dragon 'The Sea Emperor' and THE REAL SEA EMPEROR 'The Mother'?!?!

[@Chwiztid]

Cyclops shield removes the lava larva. Have you checked out any of the mods?

[@EphiTV]

Yeah, they were only a minor annoyance though. Didn't bother making it at the time

[@nicholasbrooks7349]

Plz do more your the only youtuber that has subnatca challengess that does

[@marshallthepup3430]

Me: does a self scan scanner: infected me: CORONA

[@jacospies7418]

The engine part for the cyclops you get right at the end of the creepvine zone at the reaper behind the aurora, its also a safe place, the rest you can find in the shroombiome

[@eroth1008]

Sea Dragon Leviathan = Sea Emperor Leviathan Sea Emperor Leviathan = Mother Leviathan Translator for someone that actually knows subnautica

[@RMV_99]

i was screaming in my head every time you called the sea dragon leviathin the sea emperor leviathin.
