The HARDEST Subnautica Mod Will Be The DEATH OF ME! (Deathrun 2.0, Part 2) 

This mod is insane. I love, how it makes the game stupidly hard, but in a realistic way, not just spawning hundreds of reapers or smth.

The Last Bacon implies the existence of The First Bacon and that keeps me up at night.

My favorite thing about the Deathrun mod is how it inverts the game progression. In the vanilla game, you build new technology to gain access to new locations. In deathrun, you explore new locations to build technology that makes those locations safer and easier to explore. You are constantly having to stretch out beyond your comfort zone.

RANDOM THOUGHT: What if in Subnautica 3, assuming there is multiplayer, they had proximity chat so that even though people are playing with people, you can still have situations where there is that lonely scariness to the game. Imagine that you can hear people’s voices only in bases or subs or above water, but underwater it’s distorted unless you use a radio in your mask, which could run out of battery. Even better, what if out cut out when your buddies died? Or certain areas cut off all communication via radio? I think it would be sick personally.

If i had a nickel for every time you almost died I'd be able to build a cyclops

10:55 "and then it was time to go to jesus Christ" got me 😂😂

This is the story of a deep sea diver named Stanley

Oh look, subnautica hard mode! I've beat the game, I'm ready for that! She was, in fact, not ready for that

Jesus it is soo difficult, I tried and gave up.... You are man for focus, commitment and sheer fucking will

PDA: *Alterra does not recommend attempting the hold your breath run without a qualified medical crew on-hand* Me: Proceeds to hold breath every time underwater sitting alone in my apartment until I hyperventilate

Really admire your dedication, even the trip up from the lost river with a seamoth at full speed is so nerve wracking, can't imagine a slow, slow ascension on a seaglide. Great video as always! Looking forward to the next

or you can take the patient way : build an outdoor growbed and plant brain corals... doing that every now and then on the way down and you'll have a network of breathable spots along the way 😅

Ah yes, the rlcraft of Subnautica mods!

The gameplay and story is amazing enough, but what really hooked me back into Subnautica is how well edited your videos are! The flow, transitions, and timing with commentary is damn peak.

Bacon, I gotta say, I ove watching your videos. I am probably a solid third of your revenue from all of these videos. Literally my favorite Subnautica RU-vidr, you and Anthomnia. Keep on doing what you're doing!

If I was going to eat the last bacon I would need 2 sunny side up eggs with cheese and toasted bread to make a sandwich

After seeing you play this mod, I decided to give it a shot myself. I have only played the game on perma death mode, so I was like "eh, how hard can it be?". Bacon...Bacon I'm so sorry you're going through this. My longest run ended with me seeing a shadow on the ground, and looking up only for a reaper to swallow me whole in one bite. I have the clip of it too lol. Thank you for powering through this for us.

man let me tell you a tale. 1st playthrough of this mod... died to a brain short circuit and pressed E instead of Tab while in a seamoth and died to the bends( i didnt have the vehicle mod that reduces the nitrogen lvls in the body while in the vehicle) SECOND PLAYTHROUGH got even farther then the first game, got the prawn, almost all the upgrades and just needed to go down to the inactive lava zone and the lava castle to get kyanite. my BIG plan was to make like 1 or 2 trips there with some glass and titanium and make like 3 or 4 small bases just to get in them for air ( i would construct and deconstruct the heat generator for every stop), and eventually get to the lava castle and get back. IF I were to complete this task i would be able to go down to the lava zones with my prawn and i would be able to win ez pz. IT DID NOT GO THAT WAY! i mad my 3 little bases, got close to the castle and then it happened... A LOUD AHH ROAR FROM THE SEA DRAGON. i got inside my 3rd little base with air and w8ed. 30 sec passed and i went to check since i heard no more roars... HES STILL THERE! i get back inside, food, water and energy getting low. i w8 for a min and went to check. MF-ER STILL THERE GOING IN CIRCLES AROUND MY BASE! i get inside for the 3rd time and think. okay if i dont get away soon ima die here. its now or never! i w8ed for like a min or 2 then went out to try to deconstruct my heat generator, as soon as i do it and try to zoom past it BOOM i died ( i guess to a meteor attack of his idk) EDIT GRAMMAR

I just did my first deathrun run, and it was SO stressful but SO much fun! The changed recipes forcing me to actually be outside my comfort zone and take risks was such a welcome change of pace! And the skills I gained from doing it in hardcore will make completing vanilla as fast as I can even more efficient and fun!

6:30 Depending on your difficulty it's either: 1. Only unbreathable while radiation leaches everywhere Or: 2. Unbreathable while you don't have an air filter integration chip. 9:20 The best pipe system entrance is between the Mountains and the Bulb Zone, but you'd have to contend with Reapers to get there.

Still waiting for episode 3 🙏🙏 can’t wait!

Very interesting playthrough, looking forward to part 3 :3 i love the "It was time to go to the Jesus Christ that is a reaper-" moment xD they'd probably be even worse in this mod, so at least double as scary

Yay more deathrun!

Man! This mod makes everything much more difficult! I'll be waiting for episode 3. Take all the time you need, Bacon

Ok I did some testing in the mod and found out that you CAN die and respawn, and it logs your death in the death run stats page. Hopefully this helps alleviate some stress you have.

Moral of the video: if you see something dangerous, NOPE THE HECK OUTRA THERE!

You should build the seamoth solar charger, it’ll mitigate the problem of your seamoth’s energy getting drained when you exit it at depth.

You know, when I've played this crazy mod and had to gather some nickel ores I've quickly remembered, that when you go to the lost river through blood kelp zone there's this little precursor cache with a portal... So, just like you did, I left my Seamoth at 300 meters deep and dove into the lost river (where the ghost leviathan attacked me). From there collecting nickel was really easy, cuz the ghosty dissapeared somwhere, and I had free and safe oxygen supply. I'd really recommend you this strat, cuz it saves you hella lot of reasorces, thus the time grinding for them.

the entrance to the lost river you took is the same as mine what I do is I go a little further to the green pools and set up a moonpool there, as it's far enough from the crab-squids and the ghost leviathan (the path to the lava zone from there is also far enough) but it seems unavoidable due to the heightened aggression. over all it's the safest path though.

your moves and strategies was really amazing and scarier, i will be waiting for the part 3

this is how my first playthrough felt.😢

The seamoth draining energy when you exit make sense, it is simulating if you were equalizing the pressure for that pesky nitrogen level without making you wait 10 years to exit.

After your first video, I decided to play Deathrun for myself. I died twice but it was still good, make sure to get more solar panels especially if you're getting the moonpool this early, if you get the seamoth solar charger upgrade the exit energy 'fee' is practically nullified as you just get energy too quickly for it to matter. Make sure when you go to the Lost River you scan as much stuff as possible (not spoiling stuff). To get deeper into the lost river I did a similar strategy to you and found the best oxygen tank in the game and made 2 for almost 400s of oxygen which let me go from the 250m seamoth exit level to a base in the blood kelp zone at 500m, built another base just inside the lost river bone field which more than sufficed for getting every resource I needed there, the scanner room was AMAZING at finding nickel and crystalline sulfur and made it WAY easier so I definitely recommend building one of those down there. I also really don't recommend the cyclops because it doesn't go very deep for where you are at any point of the game till after you get kyanite so I never once used it other than for the shield generator for the rocket and just used a string of bases and the prawn suit. Again, just scan as much stuff in the Lost River as possible or you will get stuck soon. Good luck Bacon!

To be honest, your solution to the nickel issue is quite good. What I did was instead going to the Lifepod 2 entrance and build a base in there. I left my Seamoth at about 500 m and then gathered nickel while TWO ghost leviathans were chasing me... I somehow survived and gathered enough nickel for my cyclops. And no stasis rifle... or prawn suit for that matter (in fact, I never got those in that playthrough in which I also never died)

Next challenge wearing a tracksuit and having to swim irl to move

I like how your braver on death mode than I am in normal. Still trying to force myself down to get deep shrooms lol

I'm glad you still make content about this game, it's entertaining to watch it with your added visuals 🥓

I’m fine waiting a couple of weeks as long as the quality is amazing as usual. Keep it up, love your vids

Behind a brine waterfall in the lost river, there's a precursor gate with an air pocket. You can use that as a free base to refill your air tanks while collecting enough nickel & sulfur for vehicles & upgrades. On my first Deathrun (the original version) I wasted a bunch of time building a base, on my second run I stumbled into the air pocket and didn't need a base at all.

damn, nice this was a great episode. and as said last time, looking forward towards the next episode.

Glad I woke up early today. Now I get to start my day with this amazing video!!

HELL YEAH PART 2 I LOVE THIS SERIES SO FAR THANKS BACON!!🗣🗣🗣💥💥💥💯💯💯

I recently discovered your channel and its my favorite now! Definitely keep this series going

This is a really engaging series, I hope you do manage to get all the way through this mod, it looks brutal!

One thing I love when dealing with warpers is a repulsion canon. It’s so funny to watch them just shrink and vanish after I hit them. Bonus points if they hit a wall and keep going into it.

Super interesting. Can't wait for next part!

Bacon you're so good at picking ambient sounds for videos like these :) also congrats on the upcoming 300k subs!

Cool stuff there Bacon, also the charge fins come in very handy when not near a base.

JUST watched the first part maybe 2 days ago. Excellent timing, as usual.

I am so looking forward to how this series goes! Its been so long since I got to see a Subnautica Series one part at a time!

I love you so much, everytime u post subnautica it makes my day, keep it up

tysm for all ur constant content 🔥

I love your videos!! And I'm fully invested in this particular series now, can't wait for part 3!!!! 🎉 I'm a relatively new Subnautica player, and only looked for videos after my first full playthrough because I don't like spoilers. Currently streaming my first playthrough of BZ on Twitch. I've mentioned your videos more than once when I played the first game lol.

Yessss, been waiting for this :D

Amazing video can’t wait for part 3 keep it up man

Somethings I found out while playing this mod Deaths are not permanent, if you die you still respawn (Unless you are playing hardcore mode, which perma death is on anyway) and the pipes work ABOVE water

Enjoying this alot, thanks youtube for reccomonding it to me

This mod is insane. I hope that you are not gonna die

God I get so happy when you release a new video. Subnautica is one of my favorite games and you just make such amazing videos on it.

My favorite spot in the lost river to build a base (and a moon pool) is in the beautiful purple tree section, situated high enough where I can see everything outside my window (and conveniently just before the final section with the lava river). Admittedly, I found I could totally get away with not using a prawn suit because I am one of those “base hoppers”, building a single straight connection tube, (optional cabinet and battery charger) and lava, solar panel (they still work at amazing depths…) or bioreactor (using farmed mushrooms or whatever) powered energy in practically every biome. Having a lava river to the final destination is perhaps the most convenient thing *ever*. I have many “lava powered bases”and beacons dotting my path along it to get the final alien building. 🤣

I've been waiting for this. Too bad that I have to wait around for your series' now that I've discovered your channel.

im so glad you made this part 2,

Whooo that ending was so nerve wrecking! I legit like held my breath and was so scared to die even tho you were the one playing haha

Finally a new video I waited so long and it’s a very good video 🎉👍

Before I watch I'm sure you'll be fine! Your so good at the game!

Beacon My man. So good to see content from you again my Bro.

i got sick at the begining of the weekend and seeing this vid made me happy :) also i cant wait to see the eclipse tomorrow!

I love this mod, played it on the harder difficulties and loved the rougelike aspects!

Great video! And don't worry 😊 take all the time you need, Bacon!

Batteries batteries… every single battery was harmed in the making of this video.

I love it to see how you answer every comment. It shows that you really care about giving good content(dont worry all your content is awesome)

gosh I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER you create too much hype STOP BEING THIS GOOD AT RU-vid!!!

I love your positive energy. Take care man!

you have heard about "the idea is simple" now get ready for "the plan is simple"

this had me on the edge of my seat the whole time

I live this series already❤

Hii, was very excited to see the notification of a new vid from you

I'm still scared knowing what the sea dragon with even more aggression would be capable of

Reminds of very first playthrough where you explore a new world. Back then my way was to build scanning rooms everywhere. In some dangerous areas I used it to detect hostile leviathans from distance.

great video! cant wait for part3...

Well, Statis rifle and Water Filtration machine can both be obtained by going to Degasi bases. The statis rifle blueprints can be found outside the Degasi base in the middle of the island, and also outside the purple mushroom biome base which is 250m deep. The filtration machine is also inside the 250m deep Degasi base.

Amazing video like always

I havent touched subnautica in so long but I knew of your channel since 20k and figured i would check it out again. 300K!?!?

Damn It has been more than 2 months since i havent watched any of your videos. The small assessments and the exams are all coming in bulk lately and i can barely open youtube. Feels good to be watching you after like forever and a little bit...

Here, have a compliment: Very nice video!

Always happy when i see that notification that you posted

I love your videos especially the creepypastas keep it up ❤

i love to see you still making subnautica content

Yyyyyeeeesssss I waited so long for this part two!!!!!

I would have lost my sanity in the first part and you`re still keeping it up on the second part, and yeah if you get a normal gamer to play this game yet alone with this mod it would be confuising and hard, and the cyclops should be bacon`s might, bacon`s light, bacon`s sun, when i play`d this game for the first time i just was swiming around doing nothing.

Love the skyrim abient sounds in the background

One of the best subnautica vids ive ever seen

Can’t wait for the next one!!

man, havent watched you in a while, i kinda grew out of subnautica, but i remembered you existed and just wanted to say hi :)

I should do this myself.. Eventually.. no, I'm not scared. You're scared

awesome series, love watching them. but the episodes feels super short for a game/mod like that. would love to see longer videos

Love this series!

Can't wait to see ghost and sea dragon leviathan

Love your subnautica videos bacon

Power seems way less strict then I would have expected
