Getting in and out of the lost river (made by lamprey. Includes spoilers. Also this in Subnautica.)
I finally got on to Subnautica after a while. I decided to get prepared for the lost river. Last time I almost died of thirst, but luckily I made it back. I swam around the safe shallows for bit with my sea glide, grabbing peepers and bladder fish. Then I had everything I needed. I headed towards the blood kelp entrance, and- no, the first time I was confused so I was too lazy to head back because I was like what, 300 meters? But anyways I re-logged and was back at the safe shallows in my sea moth, ready to go. This time I remembered I actually had a scanner module to scan the area. I saw the floating islands, being held by blood kelp. I headed deeper and in the direction of the entrance. I found it pretty quickly, went in and found the ghost leviathan again. I decided to name it “Ghostie.” I headed further into the lost river, and then I finally got to the alien lights and then to tree. Now, my sea moth could only go to maximum of 900 meters with the mk III depth module. I stayed above the depth level with my sea moth and headed downwards, because pressure doesn’t affect you for some reason. Then I explored a bit looking for nickel or and stuff. Found 4-5 pieces, man that stuff is rare. Anyways, basically I got lost and found the disease research facility and didn’t find the entrance. Then I found a entrance I didn’t come out of and I saw a reaper leviathan bones. I wasn’t going out that way. I then realized my power was 36 percent! That was not good. I headed back to the facility on the other side and found the entrance. I decided to explore it because why not. After that I came out of the research facility and then continued the wrong way and got back to the reaper leviathan bones. I turned around, this time going the right way. Then After a bit which isn’t really interesting, I just got 2-3 pieces of crystallized sulfur. Then when I got out it was night time... this game can get scary sometimes. I headed straight up, 14 percent left. After maybe 10-15 seconds heading upwards, which was a bit spooky because I could see nothing but darkness. Then I saw the depth meter, 300 meters up. I hit something, just a small pillar thingy. I moved out of the way and continued upwards. I made it to the surface with only 7 percent left on my seamoth, determined to get back to my base in the safe shallows. I saw the life pod icon and headed that way. Basically what happened was the percentage got really low and it ran out of battery at the kelp forest, which is good. Then I grabbed a battery out of my prawn suit and put in the seamoth and then once I put the seamoth in the moon pool I switched the batter to the one with 0 percent and put the 100 percent back in the prawn suit. Then I got the jump jet and depth module mk I for the prawn suit. Well... I knew I would have to head back there with my prawn, because I’m too scared to go to a area with reaper leviathans and cyclops (a big submarine. It’s supposed to be piloted by three people.) fragments are near them. (the ones I know of, atleast.) To say the least, it was spooky and fun experience.
