[@console72hrs]

@@laurenx3626 This might be too late, but yes, the reaper is an insta kill on you and a 2 hit kill on your seamoth. They use echo location so if you can hear the roar, they see you. Keep that in mind. They will circle you and come at you from the back/side if possible so stay near an area with debris or a vertical surface. They spawn near the ship and the island

Stalkers appearing right in front of your escape pod on the first start of a new save is literally the scariest thing you can get in the safe shallows (only if you didnt spawn a reaper in that)

I just started playing this game, and needed some basic guidance. I watched three other KZbin videos that "claimed" to have "beginner tips" before I found this one, and I must say yours is BY FAR the best. On my own, in Survival mode I was able to learn the basic game mechanics, determine how to gather resources, convert water, etc. and use the fabricator, but did not have a direction or plan. Your video gave me a good idea on how to progress. Thank you!

Here's a tip for getting sulfur, first bait the fish, wait for 1 or 2 second when it come outside, swim straight to up, since it's not a good turner, it will explode outside of range, leaving you with sulfur. Note that when you swim straight, continue even if you pass it, since it can still turn.

Thanks William for this guide, it covers almost everything. I'm somehow missing at a guide to get food and water though.

Luckily, your excellent video has pinched my interest to continue and try harder.
