That is technically not the main entrance. There is anothet elsewhere. There is also a tool you can use to clear this path.

1. Theres an alternate entrance somewhere

2. You could squeeze through by jumping

3. I’ll give you a hint: there’s a tool that can clear the path by moving the debris

You gotta go behind it to get in

You need propulsion cannon for this entrance.

Just craft the propulsion cannon and lift the boxes with it.

pre explosion, there is a maintenance hatch. post explosion, huge holes in the hull.

Other people have replied with how to get in, but as for the endless, repeated memes about scary reapers, yes there are some reapers hanging about and yes they can be startling, but they aren’t so bad. If you’re really that afraid, just let one kill you and reload so you can get it out of your system.

Bring a fire extinguisher, laser cutter, propulsion cannon, and scanner. You'll get a lot of loot so you'll want to keep your inventory as empty as you can.

Get to the bow, after it blows up. There's a platform you'll be able to access. With a few tools, jumps, puzzles etc you'll be able to visit it. There's pretty much a laid out path once you're there, just mind the large screaming fishes around it.

And be sure to bring a knife. And keep it handy.

You go through the front of the Aurora after it has exploded. You need a radiation suit too.

Front of the ship after it blows up

You will need

• Radiation suit

• Propulsion cannon ( to move crates etc )

• laser cutter ( cut open doors )

• repair tool ( welder )

I think that’s about it

Oh yeah

Not needed but kinda needed too

A knife because there’s these parasite things that go on your arm

Oh yeah propulsion cannon can instantly throw them..

Edit: also a fire extinguisher

( but the Aurora has some inside already anyways )

Back of the ship

Go to the other side of the ship. There’s a secret entrance on the ocean floor. Once you’re on the other side, just keep going until you reach an “ecological dead zone”

have you not been stuck this entire time?

I feel you dude. When I first played back in 2019-ish, I was so deathly afraid of the aurora that I refused to even swim in the general direction of it, let alone go inside it. It wasn't even the reapers that scared me, it was the pure size of it and the foggy water. Even 6 years later when I play through the game I only make one trip and it's just to get the essentials

400 hours is insane

I have no idea how to get the images to work

So you never beat the game in your 400 hours?

And I feel what you mean about the inside of it. Honestly the inside is kinda disappointing cause it’s actually one of the safest places in the entire game minus the fires.

Like there are more immediate threats in the safe shallows then inside the aurora

Keep going towards the front of the ship, there should be a big hole in it (if it has blown yet).

It’s in the front of the ship where it’s all destroyed

I finally found it! Thanks everyone for helping.

Here's a picture.

Swim to the front of it, you'll be able to get through the fucked uo hull. To get in you'll need a propulsion cannon tho because the entrance is blocked and also you're going to want to yeet these pesky jumpy-crabby-bois

Through the front of the ship the first entrance you'll find needs the propulsion cannon but theres another entrance if you find this little black piece of metal that acts as a bridge which will lead you to an entrance where you dont need one and there should be a fire extinguisher on the ground that will let you get into that entrance

You need.

1. Repair tool

2. propulsion cannon

3. Laser cutter (I think it's called that)

4. Full radiation suit (gloves, mask and suit)

5. Fire extinguisher

Things you should bring.

1. At least 3 med kits

2. A knife

3. 2 or 3 spare batteries.

4. A bit of food and water but you'll get plenty on the reck

Things you should know.

1. You can only entre after a certain very obvious point

2. Scary leviathans love to patrol the area

3. Save PLENTY of inventory space as you'll leave the reck with a ton of epic loot

The front

Sorry if that was a little vague it's a little hard to explain

1. Swim to the aft-quarter of the Aurora. This is still in the safe shallows.
2. Follow along the port side toward the front of the craft. This is still the safe shallows with some boxes, a few stalkers, and some sand-shark-cockroach things.
3. The ground will eventually drop away below you. Don't worry, stay near the surface (5m is fine)
4. Look in the distance for Sammy the Safety Reaper. If you see him, just relax and watch. He will almost certainly not come up for you so don't worry. Just watch how they move and remember that they are territorial. They aren't trying to kill you, they just want you to bugger off out of their area.
5. As you swim forward some more, look to your right and you'll find some openings. There are small ones and big ones and it's ok to wait for a big one.
6. Once you're inside the frame, you can relax. Sammy won't usually come up to the area outside where you are but inside you are absolutely safe from Reapers
7. There are two flipped-down areas that work like ramps. You'll probably want the one on the left that will take you to the upper entrance. The one on the right is closer to the lower entrance. You can use either, of course, it's just a matter of convenience.

Of Reapers...

Yes they are playful and you can even dance with them. They are bloody dangerous but as with most things, when you understand them, that danger becomes manageable. Especially when pitting your strengths against their weaknesses.

This may or may not be spoilerish, depending on how you want to deal with leviathans. If you want to watch, study, and learn on your own, bail out of this post here; otherwise, read below for some tips on living happily and safely with leviathans.

Leviathans are fairly agile when they are swimming around but when they decide to attack, they have a charge behavior. When charging, they have a very limited ability to alter their course laterally, meaning they can't turn their head quickly. While free swimming you need good timing but with a seamoth or seaglide you only need to strafe a few meters and it will blow right past you.

• When traveling, strafe left/right, up/down as you travel. Switch every 3-4 seconds. This constantly keeps you moving out of any target zone it may line up on. (left-up-right-down is easy to remember and never has you do an up-down into harms way)
• When scanning, strafe+turn to create a wide circle.

You will never get nibbled by a leviathan if you follow this routine, and it's 100% effective with a seaglide behind the Aurora scanning cyclops parts, gathering scrap, and looting equipment boxes.

• You can dance with leviathans by using a wide strafe-turn pattern, being sure to keep their angle to you at an oblique (so you may have to change depth or move forward to correct a shallow circle). The leviathan will do a few attacks and get frustrated -- ghosts are more persistent than reapers.

Well, that kinda sucks cause you gotta get pretty close to one to get to the entrance.

It's via the broken front section, there's a place you can get on a ramp. If you dare get a bit of distance out to the front you can get a better view of the structure than if you're hugging the walls.

At the front. Don't worry, there's plenty of friendly reapers up the to play with.

If you hug the side of the aurora until you get to a hole in the front, you’ll be fine. That’s what I’ve always done and i haven’t seen a reaper yet

You can get in from the front(The ripped open front) and find stuff like med kits and other resources. You can also fix the room from which radiation is coming so you won't have to wear your radiation suit all the time

Get tools and they parts are rare and hard to see
