Basic Tips

Hints

Your Grotto is safe, so if you’re in danger, retreat there. Enemies won’t be able to follow you inside.

While exploring, use your Sonar ability to mark areas of interest on the map.

Eat constantly. You want to get as many nutrients as possible.

You can survive on land until your oxygen meter depletes. Use land to avoid predators and attack humans, while also exploring.

Early on, you should avoid dangerous predators until you’ve become stronger.

As you progress, you’ll also be able to unlock new areas that you couldn’t early on. Consider backtracking to previous regions to seek out Landmarks and other secrets you couldn’t reach before.

While fighting stronger enemies, don’t attack constantly. Instead, get in a few strikes and then dodge to avoid taking damage before moving in again.

If you’re losing health in a fight, look around. There might be harmless fish hiding nearby that you can eat to heal.

If you’re being chased, enemies will be able to attack you from behind. You might consider swimming toward the camera so you can dodge attacks if necessary.

Different abilities will help more in different situations. Consider the sort of situation you’re in and change your Mutations/Evolutions accordingly.

Enemies  can  follow  into  your  grotto  and  can't  attack  you  but  you  can  attack  them!

Spongebob reference

Easter Eggs

You can come across an underwater pineapple house that is said to be a popular home for sea sponges, a reference to Spongebob Squarepants, where the title character lives in “a pineapple under the sea.”

Kaiju Gate

Easter Eggs

There is a giant door that is said to lead to the world of the kaiju, which have been known to come through and rampage (although not in the game itself, much to the disappointment of kaiju fans playing).

Cast Away Island

Easter Eggs

A boat, sign asking for help, and volleyball can be found on an island, all referencing the movie Cast Away.

Understanding Nutrients

Hints

When you eat, you gain nutrients that go toward leveling up and strengthening your abilities. Different types of creatures will give you different nutrients.

  • Fat (yellow) – harmless fish
  • Minerals (blue) – turtles
  • Protein (red) – predators and humans
  • Mutagen (green) – albino creatures

All nutrient types will help you level up, but you’ll need different types for the specific mutations you’re trying to upgrade. Be sure to get a variety, but focus on certain types of creatures if there’s a specific mutation you want to make stronger.

IT reference

Easter Eggs

Pennywise from IT can be found watching you from behind a gate, holding his red balloon, as apparently killer clowns are quite a problem.

Cthulhu Statue

Easter Eggs

A statue of Cthulhu can be found in the game in a swamp, with a description talking about people trying to summon him. Cthulhu is one of the most famous entities from the horror stories of H.P. Lovecraft.
