Cool I never realized they grow up!

So they’re friendly?

First one i saw legit hung out and watched a reaper try to eat me. Fun times

scared the hell outta me first time I saw one of these

The five babies grow into five juveniles that can be found int the Mountains, Dunes, Grand Reef, Northern Blood Kelp Zone, and Crag Field.

Find the cure and the build the neptune

Find the cure

You need to approach the arch and the cube on the floor. She will clean them then and talk to you once more I guess. After that you will be able to gather materials for the hatch.

Try putting an ion cube in the incubator is my one and only hint. You will see the rest :-)

Edit: I see you figured that out now too lol. Good luck! It’s an awesome part of the game.

>!The Baby Sea Emperors you release at the end of the game scatter across the whole map and then grow up.!<

I believe the juveniles that leave through the emperor’s teleporter end up becoming more grown and swim around in various locations after you’re cured

Someone recently posted that once released the pups grow up and patrol the main biomes or something 

That's still only a juvenile.

Pretty big juvenile, though, so you must have been down there for quite a while after hatching them.

They do get bigger over time.

Isn't that fun? I loved finding this out on my third playthrough, I'd always just gone straight home after curing, but that time I wanted to discover some of the alien caches I hadn't found yet, and found a juvenile in the grand reef, close to a ghost boy. So of course I had to build an observatory. :D

Dive into her aquarium and scan things there

Yup it eats you and you die

The end will be very clear, not something you can accidentally cause to happen. Hope you're enjoying the game.

Nope, that isn’t the end. Even creating the cure isn’t the end.

Amazing thank you so much 😁

If you find the sea emperor you're about 80% done. To find her, you've explored pretty much the whole map, and you feel pretty comfortable with the game. But there's still more to do- remember your objectives still stand of dealing with your infection and escaping the planet.

Considering how old the sea emperor is when you find her, it'd make sense if the main character would die of old age before the sea emperor babies grow so much as a quarter of her size

Yes, and kinda. The babies leave, then if you wander around you can find them again. They're not fully grown, that is they aren't the size of the Sea Emperor in the PCF, but they are vastly bigger than when you first encounter them. I think they're about the size of a Reaper or Ghost. So... y'know... huge. Leviathans. Just not full grown.

They grow up after a few days and move to, the crag field ( behind the Aurora and where life pod seven was last heard from ), the dunes ( is it worth it ), the mountains( again is it worth it ), the grand reef and the northern blood kelp zone ( biggies love those places hehe)

You know em when ya see em they glow and they’ve grown a bit

I even named em ( Queen, King, Pearl, Prince, and Peridot)

They grow up too fast

I encountered one somewhere between the on the way from the Sea Treader's Path to the Safe Shallows. Sorry, I don't remember the exact location.

It was large, but smaller than the mother. It looked majestic.

You can find them at various set locations, but they do not grow up.

I may be misremembering but wasn’t the juveniles shown to live on the outer ends of the map back in early release days?

Another reason the original story was way better. Dunno how one managed to cross the void but i suppose if an angry merc could do it floating on a corpse anythings possible

Nah, the bitch used me.

I get it. Her death was kinda sad 😭 I don’t think Sea Emperors could survive in Sector Zero however

If I can't make a normal fish emperor no point in identifying one

I didn't read and thought it was based off the fish circling, lol.

It's possible to catch emperor fish in the lower tier though. I know for sure I've gotten them in the rare starting point.

try spending 50 baits. you’ll instantly get an emperor fish if you reel x10. it’s rigged, guys

Fwiw, it doesn't actually matter.

This is a scripted event. The rate of rare and emperor fish are tightly controlled based on the quantity of fish caught.

Intentionally breaking line of common fish will not count for the progression. It's aa if it never happened.

If you Intentionally break 40 common fish lines in a row, accepting any rare or emporer fish casts, you'll notice by the 10th line that every fish is common. You can't "beat the odds".

It might be useful at the very end to climb your way up the curve.

My dumb ass thought i was suppose to look at the water splash lvl when I first saw this

There are peepers going in and out through the vents and they may very well serve as food. Am I wrong about that? Surprised that other replies do not mention it at all when it's a big part of the story

Lot of breeding and consuming their young? Or maybe there used to be a lot more there that they already ate. Sea emperor being the sweetheart she is may have let them have a nibble every now and then from her. Most likely scenario though is >!that the aliens that went digital found a way to sustain them all, most likely through the peeper vents or some alternative food source!<

Shedded skin from the emperor is my head cannon

By the power of friendship

Maybe they will eat some old peepers
