Leviathans

Leviathans are massive sea monsters in Subnautica 2. These gigantic creatures tend to be hostile, and some even guard major objectives that you'll have to swim to during the main story. This IGN guide compiles a list of every Leviathan we've found in Subnautica 2's Early Access period.

Collector Leviathan

The Collector Leviathan is a massive squid-like beast that patrols the chasm between the first and second regions in Subnautica 2. This thing is big enough to destroy a Tadpole submarine with just a few attacks. If you're unlucky enough to get caught outside of a Tadpole, it'll kill you instantly.

The Collector Leviathan uses sonic pulses to detect prey, so it can track you down even without a direct line of sight. Avoidance is the best strategy when dealing with a Collector Leviathan.

If the Collector Leviathan spots you, toss a Distraction Flare to get its attention. If you're in a Tadpole, it's better to just stay inside to avoid an instant kill. The Tadpole can take a few hits, and its speed is more than enough to help you reach safety on either side of the chasm.

Great Jaw

The Great Jaw is a huge clam Leviathan that can be found in the shallow starting region of Subnautica 2. Since it's a clam, this Leviathan doesn't swim around.

The Great Jaw is located next to the Cicada Wreck (Canteen), which is 300 meters south of the Lifepod at a depth of 50 meters.

Inside the Great Jaw, there's a small circular structure covered in bright pink strings. There's are a dozen Lithium deposits inside that structure, but touching any of the threads will cause the Great Jaw to close and trap you inside.

If you touch one of the threads, swim outside of the clam's grasp as quickly as you can. Otherwise, it'll end up killing you with poison.

The Great Jaw is one of the best sources of Lithium in Subnautica 2, especially if you don't have the Heat Tolerance Adaptation unlocked.
