There are several things that have changed since I originally asked this question, and I've found some additional techniques that help manage these annoying energy leeches.
One or two larva won't drain power very much, but once enough attach, the power drain becomes fairly fast. Besides trying the power cell trick, there isn't much more to do. This might be an easier solution since the rifle allows for some long-range removals.Īs far as any other removal tactics, you seem to already know them. The Wiki page also states freezing them with your stasis rifle works. The damage is slow, but it's something to keep in mind. Once you get even deeper into the lava zone, the temperature of the water will be too much for you to stand, and will begin to damage you if you don't have the proper gear. This is a bit of a hassle, since it will require you to get out of your vehicle (excluding the Cyclops).
If the vehicle's energy is turned off by removing all Power Cells, or the Power Cells are depleted, they will detach.
They will detach from the hull after doing so, since there is no more energy for them to drain. One trick listed on the Wiki page for these creatures is to remove all power cells from the vehicle. And finally, using the Cyclops shield works well, but also uses a lot of energy itself, plus it has a lengthy cooldown during which the larvae just reattach themselves.ĭo I have any other options to deal with Lava Larvae? Or do I just need to bring along a bunch of extra power cells? I've also tried to get Lava Lizards to eat the Larvae off my vehicles, but that usually ends up with me getting attacked as well. However, I don't like this idea much because it involves my naked meat-sack of a body being exposed to the very sharp teeth of Lava Lizards or the Leviathans (not to mention the underwater fireballs). I know there are a couple ways to deal with them - I can exit the vehicle and scare the larvae off by slicing them with a knife or propelling them with the Propulsion cannon.
This means travelling in Sea Dragon territory is even more dangerous than normal because it's quite likely I will run out of energy while trying to escape from a Leviathan. Once attached, the larvae start sucking energy from my Cyclops/PRAWN suit power cells, and the amount of energy that I lose grows exponentially with increased larvae. However, I find that progressing any further is starting to get very risky due to the overwhelming number of Lava Larvae that attach themselves to my vehicles. I managed to get pretty far - I even saw a Sea Dragon Leviathan while scouting. I brought my upgraded Cyclops and PRAWN suit down and I'm now prepping for an excursion into the Inactive Lava Zone. After months of exploration and crafting, I've finally got a deep sea base in the Tree Grove of the Lost River.
