The Collector Leviathan is the first of four Leviathans currently present in Subnautica 2, and you will be tasked with finding and bio scanning the undersea beast. This is easier said than done, since it only spawns under specific circumstances, and when it encounters you, it can and will kill you quite swiftly.
This guide for Subnautica 2 is all about locating the Collector Leviathan and successfully bio scanning it.
Collector Leviathan Location
Journey eastwards from the Lifepod staying just below the surface for just short of a kilometer. Once things start turning a bit murky 950m or so from the Lifepod, dive down to 50m and scan the waters from the north all the way to the east for the creature, which is a giant squid with glowing purple markings on it.
Bio Scan The Collector Leviathan
Bio scanning the Collector Leviathan is best accomplished with the help of the Tadpole. Also make sure to have the Bioscanner at the ready in a Tool Quick-Access slot for convenience and speed.
Once you encounter the Leviathan, use the Tadpole as a distraction. The Collector Leviathan will grab the craft with its tentacles and eventually shove it away violently. Immediately disembark the Tadpole and quickly swim up to the Leviathan, which should still be relatively close by, to begin bio scanning it from right on top of its head.
As soon as the scan is complete, hastily make for the Tadpole before the Collector Leviathan can initiate another attack. Once inside, the danger isn’t over just yet, so dive all the way down to a depth of 250m in order to shake off the Collector Leviathan’s pursuit, while also heading back in the general direction of the Lifepod. It should give up fairly quickly.
Various Tadpole mods can make the entire experience easier, including the speed upgrade.
That is everything there is to know about finding and bio scanning the Collector Leviathan in Subnautica 2.
