Prerequisites

Identify and Correct Errors

• "Deep Meaning Jade Mother Whale" is a voice recognition error; the actual name is "Deep Mother Gold Leviathan." Its egg clusters are edible but cannot be hatched.
• The "Reed Bamboo Crate" is the only crate that can be placed outdoors; its blueprint is scanned in the volcanic area.

1

Obtain Deep Mother Gold Leviathan Egg Clusters

Follow the Deep Mother Gold Leviathan (a Leviathan creature). It periodically lays eggs. Only a few are true eggs; you can pick up egg clusters that restore food and water, and can even be cooked into a meal. Note that the egg clusters are unfertilized and cannot be hatched.

Key Points:

• Creature: Deep Mother Gold Leviathan
• Product: Egg clusters (edible, restores food + water)
• Cannot be hatched

Defend Against the Abyssal Giant Tentacle and Scan It

Install two Shockproof Armor on the Tadpole to resist the Abyssal Giant Tentacle's slapping attacks (electric attacks still work). Equip the Mimicry Disguise Module; when you stop moving, the tentacle loses lock, allowing you to scan safely.

Key Points:

• Required: Shockproof Armor ×2
• Recommended: Mimicry Disguise Module
• Scanning causes no damage

Exploit the Leviathan Shark Swarm for Scanning

Time: 01:04.860 - 01:25.550

3

Exploit the Leviathan Shark Swarm for Scanning

The Leviathan Shark Swarm is highly aggressive; they can latch onto and instantly kill players. Use the map boundary (borderline) to lure the sharks, then retreat to the other side of the boundary. The sharks get stuck in the boundary gap, allowing you to scan safely.

Key Points:

• Danger: Latch-on instakill
• Method: Use boundary exploit
• Can be scanned safely

Time: 01:30.190 - 01:59.510

4

Obtain the Reed Bamboo Crate Blueprint

Find and scan the Reed Bamboo Crate in the volcanic area to unlock its blueprint. This crate is the only one that can be placed outdoors, saving indoor space. It has a large capacity and costs only 3 Titanium to build. Ideal for placing next to growing areas to store harvested materials.

Key Points:

• Location: Volcanic area
• Blueprint: Reed Bamboo Crate
• Cost: 3 Titanium
• Feature: Only outdoor storage crate, large capacity

Ensure Meteoric Iron Resource Regeneration

Meteoric Iron deposits are limited and do not respawn naturally. In the Aksum Nursery, use the Metal Farm to plant Meteoric Iron as a seed, enabling regeneration. Remember to keep some as a base stock to avoid resource depletion.

Key Points:

• Location: Aksum Nursery
• Mechanism: Use Metal Farm for regeneration
• Note: Keep some base stock
