Leviathan FAQ

Which leviathan is the most dangerous?▾
The Shiver Leviathan in the Void and the Abyssal Giant Tentacle below 1,700m are both Extreme threats. Avoid both unless you have a specific goal and a fast vehicle.
Can you outrun the Shiver Leviathan?▾
Not reliably in open water. It patrols the whole Void. If grabbed, Hotfix 4 added a 3-second dodge window — keep your vehicle at full hull and don't stop.
Are these all the leviathans in the game?▾
These are the ones documented in the CN community guide and in-game captures as of Hotfix 4. Early Access is adding more — v0.5 Abyss Depths will introduce 2 new leviathans.
