Here&#8217;s how it all works.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-reach-the-alien-ruins-in-subnautica-2\">How to reach the Alien Ruins in Subnautica 2<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jwplayer__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"jwplayer__wrapper\">\n<div id=\"futr_botr_ID2v4565_NJExfM5n_div\" class=\"future__jwplayer\" data-player-id=\"NJExfM5n\" data-playlist-id=\"ID2v4565\">\n<div id=\"botr_ID2v4565_NJExfM5n_div\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>After you investigate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/subnautica-2-tadpole-pens-zip-black-box-location\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tadpole Pens<\/a>, you&#8217;ll get the objective to cross the gorge and reach the Alien Ruins over 600 meters to the east. This mission effectively takes you to the next area, though you&#8217;re able to return at any moment (providing you&#8217;ve got the resources to survive the trip).<\/p>\n<p>Before you leave for the Alien Ruins, I recommend doing the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Build the Scout Ray Chassis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/subnautica-2-tadpole-scan-locations\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tadpole<\/a> upgrade at the Vehicle Bay terminal, increasing its speed and handling. The blueprint is inside the Tadpole Pens if you missed it.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/subnautica-2-inventory-size-biobed-locations\/\" target=\"_blank\">Increase your inventory size<\/a> by interacting with Biobeds.<\/li>\n<li>Stock your inventory with backup batteries, a spare power cell, food, drink, healing, and base-building materials, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/subnautica-2-quartz-location\/\" target=\"_blank\">quartz<\/a>, titanium, copper, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/subnautica-2-silver-location\" target=\"_blank\">silver<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you&#8217;re properly prepared, it&#8217;s time to travel to the Alien Ruins. The goal is simple: reach the other side of the open seabed. However, your destination is over 600 meters away, and there&#8217;s a Collector Leviathan in your way, the largest, most deadly creature you&#8217;ll have encountered so far.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to do it is to <strong>stay as low to the seabed as possible in your Tadpole and drive straight towards the Alien Ruins<\/strong>, or stay close to the surface of the ocean instead. The Leviathan will begin to chase you and possibly even hit you, but keep driving forward until you reach the other side of the gorge, at which point you can use the cliffs as cover and repair your vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Reach the Alien Ruins, and you&#8217;ll find the Research Station. Head inside and switch the power on by inserting a battery into the socket in the bedroom. Then interact with the NOA in the command room. This will list various locations you can visit to progress, and you&#8217;ll soon be able to return to NOA to get actual quest markers.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you should do next:<\/p>\n<div class=\"card card--standard card--rows-2 card--align-inline\">\n<div class=\"card-image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%\" class=\"card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/how-to-reach-the-alien-ruins-in-subnautica-2-and-what-you-need-to-do-afterwards.jpg\" alt=\"Subnautica 2 Alien Ruins: A player looking at their new base on a rocky platform by the Research Outpost.\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card__content\">\n<h3 class=\"card__title\">Build a new base<\/h3>\n<div class=\"card__description-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"card__description\">\n<p>Using the resources you brought with you and the materials around the Alien Ruins Research Station, build a new home with basic facilities.
