Leviathan tracker
There are two Collector Leviathans in the current Early Access build: one patrolling above the Karakorum Metal Farms, and one in the trench in the Sparse Plains — roughly 700 m east of your Lifepod, near the Tadpole Depot signal. It is aggressive, so this page is about getting past it, not poking it.
Quick answer
It fires a sonar pulse, then lunges to grab your Tadpole. You cannot kill it — evade early. Distraction Flares pull its attention, the Camouflage biomod hides you, and it can lose interest if you breach the surface. To scan it for the databank, leave the Tadpole and swim calmly behind it.
Current build
The two spawn areas (Karakorum Metal Farms and the Sparse Plains trench) hold across current reports, but patrol radius and aggression shift between Early Access builds — confirm against your own build before trusting an exact path.
Best use
Use this page to understand when a route may be unsafe, then choose a resource candidate with better depth, confidence, or return-path notes.
Spoiler control
We keep story context out of this page unless it directly affects route safety or map boundary interpretation.
Return to the Leviathan trackers hub, compare map size and boundaries, check the map border warning zone, plan a path with the coordinates calculator, or use the resource map before following a long route.
