On my first playthrough I wanted to build my base in a cool looking place so I built on the islands just above the blood kelp biome and once I was finished I swam down to get some resources and then she says that and I say "YOU TELL ME THIS NOW"
@@TheLastBacon isn't there some Audio messages by the captain saying he actually wanted to land right there and he was very lucky to do so or something like that? Or did i get something wrong?
Probably shallow dunes biome is my guess. Interesting fact is that the primary containment facility is almost directly below the starting point of the game
The Last Bacon it’s probably a development thing as well, because I think the game preloads the entire map and just clips in according to the far plane limit as most games, but because it’s an underwater game, there’s no need for distance detailing like Skyrim, fallout of those kind of games. So it makes sense to preload the map and spawn the terrain and placeables when the far plane limit is less than whatever it’s set to. So makes sense to have a smaller compact map so that the preloading time is reduced as much as possible. That’s why you can’t see the islands from a distance except for the mysterious fog That’s just my hypothesis
Wasn’t there originally supposed to be a giant hole in front of the Aurora that led directly to the lava zone? I think the lore reason for it being there is that sea dragon leviathans would drag reapers down to the deep and eat them.
i told a friend to get subnautica. he went right to the back of the ship and he got eaten by a reaper and never played the game again. (I also told him like 5 times to not go to the ship beforehand"
Personally, I think the Aurora crashed in four different biomes at once: the kelp forest, safe shallows, bulb zone, and dunes. These biomes all extended to the edge of the crater, where the Aurora crashed, and then these biomes were destroyed by the crashing Aurora.
i remember going down into the crater and not realizing that there was no bottom. it was at night too and i had lights off so the ghosts scared the shit out of me
In the cinematic trailer, as the camera pans up from the rotting base, it shows the safe shallows ending and a biome that looks exactly like the dunes being there. After the camera pans to above the water, the aurora crashes on the spot. This makes me believe it was the dunes, but in the trailer, it kind of looks like a combination of dunes and mountains. Considering the mountains are right next to the zone, it may be mountains too
Well, ya have to remember, your character is knocked out for like at least a day, so it IS possible that sand got eroded, and covered up flora and fauna.
You know what? Landing in the void doesnt seems like a bad idea. Just think about it everywhere is leviathans and you are in a very huge ship wreck and you make yourself out of the void to the surface! That actually would be awsome
According to Marguerite, the leviathans were only near the crater. After being washed out with the reaper corpse, she was not bothered by any of the ghosts so if the ship stayed partially above water survival would be easy until the prestocked food runs out
Feel bad for you but just saying you are correct, the reefbacks the sea treaders, the sea dragon and even the sea emperor are classed as leviathans meaning you were correct!

0:41 "[...] that ship's unfortunate landing". I like that. EA would call it "Surprise flight mechanics" But jokes aside, i love your videos (and the game)! Thanks dude! :)
Haven’t watched yet, so sorry if he said this. I imagine the look didn’t change much after the crash. Near the crater edge most biomes are wide open, sandy, and with little visibility. Edit: of course he mentioned it XD
I really like the theory of it being a reaper breeding site, because what if the reapers are staying there because they’re upset that they’re eggs were crushed or they think their babies are still alive? Like mourning the death of their children, That would be really sad :(
Here is my theory about the island: so this small UA-camr pointed out in the cinematic trailer there is an island which would line up with the one that is by the aurora. Also, the captain says “I’m attempting a controlled decent” which maybe indicates they were aiming for the island but the force was too powerful so they crushed it
I think It would have been really cool if the crash zone would have more of a place in the story line. If they made us travel through this creepy biome trying to avoid reaper leviathans, like maybe if their was an entrance to another biome that had another precursor facility, idk
My first experience with a reaper was I was driving my cyclops and saw the triangle on my radar. I didn't know what it was so I said "Huh, wonder what that is". He grabbed me, and now I'm scared to go back.
I think it could be possible that there was an entrance to the lava zone along with the possible dunes. This would explain how the sea dragons used to sometimes eat reaper leviathans, as there aren't any caves that they would likely be able to fit through, so the aurora could be covering that possible entrance.
I started to feel bad for the reaper leviathans, then i remembered the terror these creatures have for me and my little mothi. TAKE A BIT OF REVENGE REAPERS
another theory i saw was that there was a MASSIVE hole there, going from the dunes to the lava biome, thus how the sea dragons got out and dragged the reapers down into the lava biome to eat (because there are reaper skeletons there) but the aurora covered it up, and made the walls collapse in, blocking the way up with rocks and one massive ship
Fun fact: if you look around the crash site, near the lifepod 4, you can find in one place, some seaweed on the ground that isn't anywhere else on the map.
@@TheLastBacon yeah, maybe not really near the lifepod 4 but at the place which is in the middle of the aurora. i went there today for supply crates, and i saw a bunch of seaweed just on the sand. i never saw this before, you should go there and look for it.
I remember my first encounter with a Reaper Leviathan... no screaming or panicking, just slowly backing away in my Seamoth with a straight face... only going back for Cyclops parts several days later since an alien telepathic transmission got me curious.
Reaper Leviathan: Ah yes, my home is a beautiful place. The young swimming gracefully, the adults keeping watch and patrolling... what could go wrong? *Famous last words.*
It was a crash fish breeding ground that consists of the alpha and lesser crash fish, The alphas were much larger impact much more of a punch and all lived in the crash zone, but due to the aggression, both both species of fish would become agitated when seeing each other which prompted them to explode making the terrain lifeless. When the Aurora crashed, it killed all of the alpha crash fish leaving just a few members of the crash fish who ventured out to the safe shallows.
I really enjoyed subnautica. It was such a entertaining, time taking, and super interesting game. I can’t wait for below zero to get completed. After that they need to make another one or at least a movie or something like that. The movie would be so good.
I have something for the theory that the Aurora landed on a landmass, if you would look at one of the other places where you can find a reaper leviathan it is at the gun island, so maybe reaper leviathans simply prefer being near dry land 🤷♂️
In one of the life pods you get an audio from the captain to the first officer, i believe, saying "I am attempting, a controlled decent!" So he was trying to fall with style.
Imagine the Aurora going “YEEET” and flying of 4546B and the G.U.N. being like “Wtf how the f did he do that” and player being like *Insert Mike Wasoski with 2 eyes*
Um, the captain stayed on the Aurora in order to pilot it into a controlled descent so the survivors could access the long range radio. It's in one of the voice recordings.
Postcat MCV well all of the crew died on impact, except Paul, Bart, and Marguerite, so playing as a degasi crew member wouldn’t possible unless the story changed.
This is personally one of my favorite videos by you, wish it was longer though, your theories always interest me. The hell hole theory is one of the most interesting ones, but if you look around the ILZ, you dont really see any holes that could possibly lead up to the surface. But yet again, it could have collapsed upon impact, who knows! The dunes/intersecting biomes theory is the most plausible, since the population of reapers would lead you to believe so. It simply just being an area where the bulb zone, crag field, mushroom forest, safe shallows, and grassy plateaus intersect is also very plausible. The island theory COULD be true, since as you mentioned, there is solid rock at the side of the Aurora. Yet again, as you said, it could be and is most likely time/budget constraints, or maybe just developer oversight. It's also interesting to see that the amount of destroyed terrain between the crash zone and other biomes is not that much. You would expect a 1,280 meter long ship to make more of an impact. One of the things I love the most about Subnautica is that it always has... foresight in mind? I'm not sure if that's the correct word, but a lot of the time answers a lot of your, "why?" questions. Anyways, sorry for writing an entire damn essay. Keep up the good work, 1 million subs is definitely in sight. By the way, congrats on replying to all 2,988 comments! 2,989 now, :)
Bro, yesterday i was playin and LITERALLY thought "if the crash zone was full of Reapers then maybe the crash zone was reaper territory" And also that the Aurora probably Yeeted like a dozen Reapers when it crashed 😂
Before the Aurora crashed, Reaper Leviathans used to be nice to other beings and fish on the planet, but when the Aurora crashed, the mind of the Reaper Leviathan shook and broke, because the Aurora Destroyed Reaper Leviathan EGGS, and that’s why they are always encountered at the Aurora looking for there eggs..
I think the island theory is probably the most logical, cause how else do you explain the evil crabs? From what I've seen, they can't swim, so it seems logical that there was some form of land there.
I believe in Dunes theory / nesting grounds for reapers cause supposedly under aurora there was cave leading to active and inactive lava zone that sea dragons used to drag down reapers so thats how Alterra basically killed another of rare species
Most likely why the sea dragons are being endangered is because of their food source: the reapers. Since the aroura covered the hell hole. which for the dragons was most likely their primary way to drag down the reapers,the remaining dragons would probably starve or kill other fauna or when it came to it, kill others of their species. I could be wrong.
guys, i think that the crash zone used to be the safe shallows. the you know the base in the cinematic trailer? you can't find it, because the aurora crushed it. you know where the base was? the safe shallows.
The guy driving the ship said he would try to land on solid ground and he kinda did so that would make the crash zone like a flattish mountain biome which is a lot like where all the reapers went after the crash
I'd argue that all of those theories are kind of true, the Crash Zone is pretty big after all. The Aurora itself lies on top of a former part of the Safe Shallows (with rocks almost reaching the surface) while the southern area with the mesas as well as the strip to the edge of the void were basically Dunes 2: Reaper Boogaloo.
Also reapers like to hang out in very sandy nearly lifeless areas like the mountains, dunes, etc. So maybe they didn't just go there because of the sound, but also because it's open ,dead, and relatively hot or have hot areas. And it might be explained because maybe they use heat as a sort of camouflage against prey with heat vision, and with the open areas might be used as an easier way of finding prey with it's sonar and it's size would need a lot of space. An the reason all the biomes it lives in are mostly dead is because both the reapers eat a lot of fish, but also a large amount of fish might mess with it's sonar.

The fact that this man is still replying to the never ending stream of comments is truly respectable.
😀👍
Thank you :) it is a lot of work but definitely worth it!
The first bacon is your lost twin brother
We haven't seen each other in ages :D
We don't talk about The First Bacon He uh got eate- uh he passed away
The Last Bacon what about the second bacon, or the third bacon?
How much bacon is there?
The Last Bacon I swear I didn’t eat him I swear please don’t kill me with a bacon gun
I like the Dunes theory!!! It would also make sense with the Sea Dragons as they used to come up from below the Aurora to feed on Reapers :)
Yep very true! :)
"Is that your home ?"
"Yea but thats an old picture"
“This was my home, and it was beautiful...”. - Reaper Leviathan :)
My first experience with a reaper was I was driving my cyclops and saw the triangle on my radar. I didn't know what it was so I said "Huh, wonder what that is". He grabbed me, and now I'm scared to go back.
That must’ve been quite unpleasant :)
1:25 Heart atack and Ptsd coming at the same time just for looking at that shadow.
Oh yeah, big time :)
1:13 missed opportunity to say “let’s dive in”
I think I've used that one in a different video already! :)
@@TheLastBaconwell then, I guess you’ll just have to go _deeper._
I think it could be possible that there was an entrance to the lava zone along with the possible dunes. This would explain how the sea dragons used to sometimes eat reaper leviathans, as there aren't any caves that they would likely be able to fit through, so the aurora could be covering that possible entrance.
Yep that's definitely possible :) quite likely actually imo.
Imagine the disappoinment of all those reapers when they found out that the big tasty snack was actually a giant metal piece
Ikr :) must've been heaven for stalkers tho!
I started to feel bad for the reaper leviathans, then i remembered the terror these creatures have for me and my little mothi.
TAKE A BIT OF REVENGE REAPERS
Haha yeah I never feel bad for them for too long :)
“I am attempting a controled desent”
True :) not sure what he did - but at least he attempted it.
@pancake house that happens when your engines are exploding
yes, looks very controlled
Aurora:Crashes
Reaper leviathan: Is that my dad?
It's free real estate :)
Love how you still reply to the comments over 5 years later! I’ve been replaying the game recently and I’ve really enjoyed watching your content :)
Thank you kindly :) I really like replying to comments!
another theory i saw was that there was a MASSIVE hole there, going from the dunes to the lava biome, thus how the sea dragons got out and dragged the reapers down into the lava biome to eat (because there are reaper skeletons there) but the aurora covered it up, and made the walls collapse in, blocking the way up with rocks and one massive ship
Yep, I really like that theory :)
My guy “and sand” as if Anakin gonna be watching the video 🤣
What can I say, he really doesn't like sand :D
Fun fact: if you look around the crash site, near the lifepod 4, you can find in one place, some seaweed on the ground that isn't anywhere else on the map.
Huh really? :O
@@TheLastBacon yeah, maybe not really near the lifepod 4 but at the place which is in the middle of the aurora. i went there today for supply crates, and i saw a bunch of seaweed just on the sand. i never saw this before, you should go there and look for it.
I remember my first encounter with a Reaper Leviathan... no screaming or panicking, just slowly backing away in my Seamoth with a straight face... only going back for Cyclops parts several days later since an alien telepathic transmission got me curious.
Just back out....no sudden moves....it's like a T-Rex :)
Reaper Leviathan: Ah yes, my home is a beautiful place. The young swimming gracefully, the adults keeping watch and patrolling... what could go wrong?
*Famous last words.*
Haha yep :) just having a good time in the dunes when suddenly....
your profile pic needs to be put on a body pillow
Riley: so this was your home
Reaper: yes and it was beautiful
*reveals the crash zone before the Aurora*
Haha excellent use of meme :D
*Aurora Crashes*
Biome under the aurora : Ight Imma Head Out
Cave crawlers: It's free real estate! :)
crash zone: I’m cool, I have a lot of reaper lavienthen
Dunes: HA I can do better, BEAT 8!
Yep - the dunes are in a league of their own :)
I mean the crash zone has 10 of them
It was a crash fish breeding ground that consists of the alpha and lesser crash fish, The alphas were much larger impact much more of a punch and all lived in the crash zone, but due to the aggression, both both species of fish would become agitated when seeing each other which prompted them to explode making the terrain lifeless. When the Aurora crashed, it killed all of the alpha crash fish leaving just a few members of the crash fish who ventured out to the safe shallows.
As if regular crashfish weren't bad enough :)
You may not remember but you have responded to 3 of my other comments, thanks for having conversations with your subscribers. Luv ur vids btw ;)
1:35 time capsule
Oh yeah you're right :)
Where?
Where
Oh nvm
Day 1 of asking TheLastBacon to make a video about himself
The lore of The Last Bacon? :)
The Lore Bacon!
@@TheLastBacon The Lore of Bacon!
Me personally I think the crash zone used to be a biome called the mesas, like the ones behind the aurora but many more, with no reaper leviathans.
Could definitely be the case :)
I really enjoyed subnautica. It was such a entertaining, time taking, and super interesting game. I can’t wait for below zero to get completed. After that they need to make another one or at least a movie or something like that. The movie would be so good.
I can definitely relate :) first time exploring planet 4546b was quite magical and I also can't wait to see what they give us next.
I have something for the theory that the Aurora landed on a landmass, if you would look at one of the other places where you can find a reaper leviathan it is at the gun island, so maybe reaper leviathans simply prefer being near dry land 🤷♂️
In one of the life pods you get an audio from the captain to the first officer, i believe, saying "I am attempting, a controlled decent!" So he was trying to fall with style.
He definitely did a good job! :) Probably saved Ryley's life with that!
@@TheLastBacon That was his plan... maybe not trying to save Ryley specifically but... eh it works out for the janitor.
Heh heh I know the rock-puncher's biome.
Uhh.... Too late?...
Now that's an interesting theory :) would explain why we never see them in the 1st game!
Imagine the Aurora going “YEEET” and flying of 4546B and the G.U.N. being like “Wtf how the f did he do that” and player being like
*Insert Mike Wasoski with 2 eyes*
Um, the captain stayed on the Aurora in order to pilot it into a controlled descent so the survivors could access the long range radio. It's in one of the voice recordings.
Yep true :)
aurora: *exists*
reapers: its free realistate
True :) didn't take long to move in at all!
We need a Degasi Subnautica game that took place before the Aurora. So we could know what the place looked like 20yrs or however long ago it was
Would definitely be cool to at least get a flashback :)
Postcat MCV well all of the crew died on impact, except Paul, Bart, and Marguerite, so playing as a degasi crew member wouldn’t possible unless the story changed.
This is personally one of my favorite videos by you, wish it was longer though, your theories always interest me. The hell hole theory is one of the most interesting ones, but if you look around the ILZ, you dont really see any holes that could possibly lead up to the surface. But yet again, it could have collapsed upon impact, who knows! The dunes/intersecting biomes theory is the most plausible, since the population of reapers would lead you to believe so. It simply just being an area where the bulb zone, crag field, mushroom forest, safe shallows, and grassy plateaus intersect is also very plausible. The island theory COULD be true, since as you mentioned, there is solid rock at the side of the Aurora. Yet again, as you said, it could be and is most likely time/budget constraints, or maybe just developer oversight. It's also interesting to see that the amount of destroyed terrain between the crash zone and other biomes is not that much. You would expect a 1,280 meter long ship to make more of an impact. One of the things I love the most about Subnautica is that it always has... foresight in mind? I'm not sure if that's the correct word, but a lot of the time answers a lot of your, "why?" questions. Anyways, sorry for writing an entire damn essay. Keep up the good work, 1 million subs is definitely in sight. By the way, congrats on replying to all 2,988 comments! 2,989 now, :)
Thank you very kindly! :) Super glad you like the video! I'd love to make more theory vids like this one.
A reaper now lives in the safe shallow in my game help pleaz
That is very unfortunate and I've heard of it happening to several people...all I can do is wish you the best of luck! :)
Kill it! Be brave!
( I will cower at a distance)
Grab your status rifle and stab it to death.
Lmao
Bro, yesterday i was playin and LITERALLY thought "if the crash zone was full of Reapers then maybe the crash zone was reaper territory"
And also that the Aurora probably Yeeted like a dozen Reapers when it crashed 😂
Well hey :) if you're ever looking for a fast way to kill some reapers, just land a giant ship on them!
@@TheLastBacon lmao
Captain:WE’RE CRASH LANDING!
Pilot:HOLD ON LET ME GET THESE REAPERS!
Before the Aurora crashed, Reaper Leviathans used to be nice to other beings and fish on the planet, but when the Aurora crashed, the mind of the Reaper Leviathan shook and broke, because the Aurora Destroyed Reaper Leviathan EGGS, and that’s why they are always encountered at the Aurora looking for there eggs..
Who knows :) if the area was a reaper nesting ground you'd be totally right!
Dang no dislikes. Respect ✊
I have an amazing community :)
The Last Bacon oops I jinxed it
I think the island theory is probably the most logical, cause how else do you explain the evil crabs? From what I've seen, they can't swim, so it seems logical that there was some form of land there.
Yeah that definitely plays into the theory :)
I always figure it was a safe shallow's because of the cinematic trailer, but also because of acid mushrooms, sparse grass, and coral tubes
Could definitely be the case! :)
I believe in Dunes theory / nesting grounds for reapers cause supposedly under aurora there was cave leading to active and inactive lava zone that sea dragons used to drag down reapers so thats how Alterra basically killed another of rare species
Yeah I do really like the lava zone hole idea :)
@@TheLastBacon also I absolutely love how you respond to every comment on your videos no matter age of that video
There was underwater equipment on the aurora. It was definetly meant to fly in atmosphere.
Well most of the equipment was intended for space :)
I love your old vids they're old but gold
Haha thank you :)
@@TheLastBacon legendary ytber 🌟im subbing
The Reaper just wants hugs
-Aci
Some very painful hugs :)
Ship: flys over new world.
Gun: shoots it down.
Ship: destroys a lot of the land.
Gun: :O
Gun: The risk I took was calculated but man, am I bad at math :)
Most likely why the sea dragons are being endangered is because of their food source: the reapers. Since the aroura covered the hell hole. which for the dragons was most likely their primary way to drag down the reapers,the remaining dragons would probably starve or kill other fauna or when it came to it, kill others of their species.
I could be wrong.
Yeah it’s definitely possible :)
Their are reapers next to the other islands so maybe them also being beside the crash is because it used to be a island
Could certainly be an explanation yep :)
Woah you replied
It was probably more creepvine and greasy plateaus seeing as there's both stalkers and sand sharks in the area
You could totally be right :)
I love your videos! So good, your videos are always interesting to watch :D
Thank you very much! :)
guys, i think that the crash zone used to be the safe shallows. the you know the base in the cinematic trailer? you can't find it, because the aurora crushed it. you know where the base was? the safe shallows.
Yeah it is definitely a large possibility :)
Found this on my homepage on 06/04/24, it's great to see Subnautica content in the algorithm ten years after the game was released.
Eyyy that is awesome indeed :)
The guy driving the ship said he would try to land on solid ground and he kinda did so that would make the crash zone like a flattish mountain biome which is a lot like where all the reapers went after the crash
True point :) perhaps he did steer into a landmass or at least shallow water!
I think the aurora might have landed on the hole that used to exist, that would lead to the active lava zone, for the sea dragons to eat them.
Could definitely be the case :) would explain why we can't find it!
In the crash zone mesas you could actually see what the world could have looked like if the ship didn’t crash 😊
Maybe - though I reckon the mesas were particularly created by the crash :)
I'd argue that all of those theories are kind of true, the Crash Zone is pretty big after all. The Aurora itself lies on top of a former part of the Safe Shallows (with rocks almost reaching the surface) while the southern area with the mesas as well as the strip to the edge of the void were basically Dunes 2: Reaper Boogaloo.
True :) it's very likely that the area probably consisted of multiple biomes overlapping.
Also reapers like to hang out in very sandy nearly lifeless areas like the mountains, dunes, etc. So maybe they didn't just go there because of the sound, but also because it's open ,dead, and relatively hot or have hot areas. And it might be explained because maybe they use heat as a sort of camouflage against prey with heat vision, and with the open areas might be used as an easier way of finding prey with it's sonar and it's size would need a lot of space. An the reason all the biomes it lives in are mostly dead is because both the reapers eat a lot of fish, but also a large amount of fish might mess with it's sonar.
Yeah maybe you're right - it does sound like the kind of territory they'd inhabit :)
