Hey there! Welcome to my guide on Subnautica achievements. Just to be clear, this guide will only cover achievements and not the entire game. I want to make sure everyone knows what to expect before diving in (pun intended). So, let’s get started!
Getting your feet wet
Now, I understand this is extremely hard. but all you have to do is move to the ladder or the floor hatch. Press the corresponding button (Left click for PC. A for controller) if you chose the ladder. then all you have to do is walk forward after you get through the activation sequence. Then you’re in the water and You did it! you got your feet wet. Congratulations.
Settling in for the long haul
Now you must get the Habitat builder. once you have the materials you need for your selected base part. EXAMPLE: The Multi-purpose room. you should get the achievement. I don’t know if you need to add a bit more or not. But Yay! Now you’ve got 2 achievements. And you’re settled in for the long haul.
Personal Propulsion
its simple. All you gotta do is get the vehicle bay and seamoth blueprints. Get the materials and build them.
Ancient Technologies
Alright now with your stuff (you should hopefully have the seaglide and seamoth by now) if you have the lifepod 3 beacon then that is all where you need to go and just follow the rim of the big deep pit you find to your left. and go towards the incline (going up) rock. and then you just gotta get on land, yes I said land. this game isn’t all water, salt, and sea monsters. Now once you’re on land you should beware of the cave crawlers (the little 4 legged crabs) now you see the big green thing? go to the right of it up the little path where you can get on top of it and pick up the slab with the purple on it. go down to the green static like thing and go to the thing that should open next to it and interact with it. once you go inside after a few seconds you should get the achievement.
Seaside living with an ocean view.
there is an island that is floating directly south of the lifepod. its known as the floating island. You aren’t the first person to get to this planet. A group of 3 who were part of the Degasi were here on the planet before you. on that island there are remnants of their bases. go to one of them and you should get the achievement.
Extinction even avoided
its easy go to the aurora go into the reactor room and fix the nuclear reactors. Beware of leeches
40-foot-sub for one
collect all of the cyclops parts and build the cyclops. here’s a link to another guide I made to getting them.
Ordered The Prawn
Get the prawn blueprints and the materials and build it. its simple I don’t understand how under 35% have gotten the prawn suit
Follow the degasi
read the achievement descriptions.
step 1 go to purple mushroom cave (jellyshroom caves)
step 2 find abandoned base
step 3 get achievement
Follow the lost river
you can get to the river through the Grand reef entrance, the bloodkelp zone ravine entrance, the bloodkelp zone entrance, and the bulb zone entrance. I suggest the Bloodkelp zone entrance because its the safest to get to and through. and plus you get to more easily sneak past a leviathan in the river and get to very easily sneak past one in the zone. because the other 2 ways make you barely squeeze by a juvenile ghost leviathan. anyway its also the fastest way there because all you got to do is go down the area to find the skeleton and go to those big green pillars and follow them. now you just go inside that big green cube (the entrance is on the left from where you get in the cavern) and you get the achievement.
Seamonsters
you can go into the giant cave in the grand reef to find the degasi habbitat and a lost river entrance
Thermal Activity
enter the lava zone and get through to the lava castle. Beware of the 2 Sea Dragon Leviathans patroling. once you’re in the lava castle explore the caverns to find the thermal power plant.
Fourteen Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
If you are starting from the lava castle, exit it and go into one of the two entrances in the ground. The lava falls, or the hole in the ground. Run for the alien research facility hill past the Sea Dragon Leviathan and then make sure you have 2 blue tablets. so you can get into the Sea Emperor Leviathans containment chamber. and congratulations. You’re Fourteen Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
Optimal Health
you should do the Sea Emperors quest to free her babies and then touch the Enzyme 42 (the tan orbs) and cure the Khraa bacterium
Mans Best Friend
You need a alien containment chamber and cuddlefish egg. 2 cuddlefish egg locations that are easy to get to.
Leave only time capsules
after you build the Neptune rocket. you can put stuff in a time capsule with a picture and write in it. The capsules will spawn randomly around outer areas in the game in other people’s saves. you may be lucky to come across one of mine or even your own.
Go among the stars
Launch the rocket, you need to activate all the systems. Time capsules are optional. you need to be cured and go have fun paying approximately “1 trillion credits”.
