- Degasi was a medium sized ship that was owned and operated by the Torgal Corporation - a small clan-corp of the Mongolian Independent States. The Torgal Corporation was by no means massive, but it did have plenty of experience hauling materials across space, and talks were even being made of the company constructing a brand new phasegate. At the head of it all was Paul Torgal, who became the company’s CEO following his mother’s retirement. Often traveling with a skeleton crew, Paul was well known for his ability to make impulsive, but profitable decisions.
For the Corporation’s next mission, Paul planned to accompany his son Bart as they traveled to a new deep space station, where Bart would serve as Chief Operating Officer for the next 5 years. The Degasi was selected for the mission, and the crew was stripped down to just 6 members as a result of the seemingly simple task at hand.
For a while, the mission went quite well, the ship was making good time, and the crew were never distressed. Nothing was out of the ordinary until Paul observed a planet in the 4546 system. The object in question was planet 4546B - a near earth-sized terrestrial planet which appeared to contain a liquid ocean. Knowing that these types of planets were the most likely to contain life, Paul makes the decision to detour and investigate up close... - Hry
I feel so bad for Bart. He was just a young curious individual that wanted to do more discovering and research, but his life was sadly cut short because of the decisions of his dad.
Kind of like the kid who died in that sub implosion recently
@@kayla_white01the game foreshadowing of the incident for years?
@@I_Dont_Believe_In_Salad Nah just plain coincidence bud
@@foooobar10 you'd have to be a silly Billy not to see the connection
@@kayla_white01it's just a simple connection that both sons met their demise by the choices of their fathers. There ain't no way that a game was prophesying some sub getting crushed many years later
Why yes, Marguerite is indeed part of the ecosystem now, heck you could even say she's an apex predator
Lol below zero reference
even ate leviathan meat, probably could say she is kind of a leviathan type of treath (hope i said that right (89))
its threat sorry
Eeyup.
@@Venenus_MC You can edit the comment
The base remakes were a great touch
I agree
It was so amazing indeed!
I rebuilt all the degasi bases on my creative subnaughtica world as a tribute to them
Eeyup, he really did his research.
Not only is it sad that Bart died before he could find out how to cure the disease, but also that all of his final work and home got destroyed when the Aurora landed. Imagine if there was a way to explore his final base.
It is sad but his research wasn’t in vein, without his discoveries we would have never had access to the facilities
His skeleton if it was still there, it got utterly body by the Aurora
unless you’re talking about the base that the show in the cinematic trailer or one of the trailers he went island kellyshrok caves deep grand reef and then he went back too the island base at the end of hisblifr
@@valkriejake yeah, the cinematic one, the one that got crushed by the aurora
@@masteryadiel oh alright
the sad part is that the last base could've told us a bit more about Bart's last days/weeks, but the Aurora destroyed the base and possibly any other PDAs
No joke BRO T_T
maybe not destroyed by the crash land tho, the things are bulletproof or something, the pda's probably disintegrated with the explosion
@@Adakhal ok?
I love how a Captain, a Biologist and a Mercenary had it worse than a janitor. One Riley is enough to defeat fauna, build bases, feed himself, establish communication with an outside ship, establish communication with a Sea Emperor, cure Kharaa within himself, hatch the Emperor's children, become a step dad for lovely little Emperors, turn off the Main Architect Defence Weapon, build a rocket and succesfully escape with tonnes of diamonds in tow, probably buying out the entire Alterra Corporation
3 trillion in debt? Well how about you check out these diamonds and rubys
@@matheusexpedito4577 "haha nearly endless cube of energy goes vzoom"
riley is not an janitor
he is an chief manager idfk
@@B.L.U.S chief janitor
@@NiCoNiCoNiCola funny joke but no
I like how Bart's POV continues off of whoever is speaking, showing that he's the one neutral party in all this, just there due to his father's choices and just making the best of it by studying the planet.
People rag on Paul too much, and worship Margeurit too much. Both of them had very different views, and neither of them were inherently correct, as Bart says. Paul was playing things safe, perhaps a little too safe. His ideas for survival were sound, but a sound plan never lasts against such an unknown and alien environment. Margeurit was too hot headed and reckless, while she was right about needing the resources from the deep, she was wrong to want to stay down there just for said resources.
Paul was very understandably not okay with the idea of going deeper, any normal person in such a situation would want to stay on solid ground. His constant threatening to dock Maida's pay also shows that he was confident in escaping, and that he was fearful of the ramifications that could come his way if he did whatever it took to survive.
Meanwhile Maida was too obsessed with beating the environment. She doesn't like Paul for being a corporatist bourgeoisie in her own words, but also holds a very imperialist "Kill anything threatening, and use the resources to kill the next big thing".
It's only when Bart reveals they're sick that reality seems to set in for both of them. That they're sick with alien bacteria, and know nothing about it. For once the two are not fighting eachother for power, and their reactions reflect their personalities. Paul is afraid, but trusts his son's intelligence and asks if theres anything he can do to help his son possibly learn more about it, any resource he can scrounge up. But Maida doesn't want to be threatened by it, almost as if the idea of being taken out by an invisible bacterium is insulting to her, so she starts cracking remarks about the absurdity of it and what it could do to them. She doesn't want to be weakened by and lose to such a thing.
Really, the writing and characterization of the Dagasi Survivors is incredible.
True, in the end it was Marguerite decision that caused the reaper attack. Bart seemed to be the wisesd of them all, despite being the youngest, recognizing that both extremes of Paul and Marguerite will kill them all.
man this actually describes their story the right way, great vid mate!
Thanks man! I’m glad you enjoyed
@@Breathtaker5000 w Video, plus any tips on finding the Lost River? I lost my way to it, and I don’t know where it is now. Sorry if I already asked you, I just have bad memory when it comes to questions
@@TheLadsGames759 Remember you are in youtube, one search away from finding what you seek.
There's one entrance near the south-western BloodKelp and Dunes. At least one Reaper nearby
Another entrance is just turning left and diagonally downwards after visiting Degasi's Deep Grand Reef base. Just mind the Crabsquids and Warpers. Safest path tho.
The only North-east entrance is between the Mountains (QEP Island) and the Bulb zone. One mountain Reaper near there.
@@Breathtaker5000 i see that tips and making bases are getting more views
🎉
I liked this a lot better than trying to piece together audiologs with Reapers eating me, and that's saying something, since I found the original experience pretty enjoyable. I was so busy that I didn't ever consider the logs much, but with this talented narration I can fully appreciate the writing and character arcs. They're better than I thought.
Why not listen to them at base?
They should’ve made Bart’s base explorable by putting it on the edge of the crash zone. It’d be really hard to access because of all the reapers, but very rewarding because you could find lots of resources and pda’s detailing his final days.
it was so amazing that you rebuilt the abandoned bases! nice work!
Thanks :)
Mercury II’s Survivors and their fate maybe? Even though the game pretty much spells it out I’d still like to hear it all in one sitting without stopping.
It’s definitely on the to-do list :)
17:00 wow, i never knew margeruite is such a monster hunter. I would really love her to see toe-to-toe against an elder dragon if she can tangle with a reaper leviathan, win, and use its body for stuffs.
Lady's basically a hunter of the first fleet.
Make a below zero one. I played the game a long time and discovered that Marguerite is alive and was actually dragged to the void and appeared to the below zero map. Maybe she was dragged to the other side of the planet which explains why so many fish are the same and some are different due to the environment.
I second this!
I plan to do a whole video on Marguerite at some point, I decided not to include the BZ story here because half the video would have just been about that
She survived in a reapers corpse eating off of it till she got to the artic where there she made a base and just chilled
@@jaymeegrayson4662 yeah she is such a badass
It doesn't make sense that she survived since she had Karaa for 10 years before Riley cured it.
I had done what I thought was adequate research to write a fanfic about them but wow I was missing a lot. You did such an amazing job with this and I really enjoyed the visuals. 10/10
Glad you liked it :D
What about your fanfic?
I like how you made these videos in-universe. Makes them feel like authentic documentaries.
What surprises me about the first base of the island its the fact that there is a cave system with the gigantic alien portal on it and the degasi crew didn't find that even living there that ammont of time.
I don't know if this Is explained because "in gameplay" the island its small but in lore was bigger like the maps and cities of other games like fallout or skyrim.
But for me its quite surprising that they found that alien object on the island and don't searched more both over the land and under to see those gigantic floaters.
I think they either didn’t find it (could have been opened up by a landslide after they left), they DID find it, but didn’t make a pda entry for it, or if they did make a pda entry, it might have been destroyed or buried when the first landslide destroyed the base
I don't remember a portal on that island. Where does it lead?
@speedude0164 mountain island. Need to head to mountain island portal first in order to turn it on
@@cabz5872 Yeah I just saw someone else online find it. I'll go there myself when I can.
In my first playthrough, my first exposure to the floating island was that teleporter. Definitely one of those crowning moments of the game "wait... the other side of the aurora??" And "THERES NO BOTTOM AAAAAAAAH"
Think I also had a dream where if you went near the water, a leviathan would cutscene you off the beach lol.
poor paul he got baited by a crabsquid a died it's a sad story of these three atleast we meet one
2 things I noticed:
Paul saw a light below him so I think he found the lost river and not a squid. He might have been killed by one though. This makes more sense since it's a hint for the player to go deeper.
Bart talks about visions getting worse. I don't think Kharaa causes these so it's most likely the sea emperor trying to communicate with him like she does with the player but Bart thinks it's the illness.
Yea, but, why didn’t she send all of them visions when, y’know, they were all still alive and working together?
The fact that the Mongolians have strong tenure in space exploration raises lots and LOTS of questions!
Oh good lord, Spaceship archers
Throat singing intensifies
Genghis Khan had mentioned it in a secret script that had been discovered near the end of 21st century - " I growing old. I know I won't be able to conquer the world. What I have done is still going to be one of the biggest empires in history. I have just one wish, i want the mongols to conquer the stars. " And it all began right there, Mongols knew what to do.
There is fish , then there are bigger fish , then there is the biggest fish, and there is Marguerite
She’s an honorary leviathan class lifeform
@@escaped_cephalopodLeviathan life class form? She is a Apex class lifeform
I love how the team put this much effort into a side story. Such a great way to let us hear about things others did to survive and hint at some things we can make.
Marguerite is such a badass

Very well edited video; the images on screen represented the audio perfectly and it must've taken a while to get the footage so I commend you for that! I would really appreciate it if you were to make a video in the same style of this one for the Mercury II since it's pretty much Below Zero's Degasi and I don't really understand its story all to well. You have a bright future in CZcams and I hope you continue to put great effort into your videos, thanks!
Then, Marguerit floated all the way to the other side of the planet on a dead reaper with barely any water, a seaglide, a repair tool, and leviathan fat. She then went about making a base under the lily pads, making a Greenhouse on a glacier, and eventually meeting Robin in Below Zero. Somehow taming a Snowstalker, she made a prawn suit and killed a chelicerate for its prawns.
She somehow survived the Khraa for 10 years, until Ryley released Enzyme 42 into the ecosystem. But, this still had to cross the void, and the planet itself. How did she survive the Khraa?
What a goat.
reaper's khaara immunity and some peepers with enzyme 42 were able to let her survive 10 years, or she probably found another emperor leviathan (idk if that is possible, but could be since she killed 2 reapers she probably would have fought the leviathan to show superiority and discover enzyme 42, or a sea dragon since they are genetically close to emperors and probably have same enzymes)
What I don't get is why in the world would they settle in the giant snake-infested caves and not in the safe shallows just a few hundred meters away!
Because then the player would find it right away! 🤣
Because there were a lot of good materials
Reapers probably
I find it ironic that Margaret didnt want to stay in the "cave" and then look at where her base is in Below Zero.
I love how do you illustrate all the story with actual gameplay clips! Keep at it, bro!
Amazing video. Whole story, without any blank spots. This channel deserves a lot more subscribers. Keep up the good work 😊
Thank you! Will do! :)
Incredible effort went into this video. Well done.
Such a shame what happened to the degasi crew. I’m curious to know what would’ve happened if the other 3 members survived. Maybe more input would have led them to discovering the truth of the aliens, reinforcement platform, the sea emperor etc. And to think that Bart (and kind of margeruite) were on the right path to figuring out all the things that ryley eventually did. Also a shame that the aurora destroyed barts final base. Would’ve liked to have seen those pda’s. I wonder what I would’ve been like if the reaper never destroyed their base. What if ryley was part of the degasi crew. There’s so much potential for what if scenarios about this game. I know that Marguerite survives and is in below zero, but I haven’t played it yet, so idk if she mentions the events of the first game, or anything else she has to offer. Great video, I continue to see how amazing this game is, and its community makes it all the better 😁
Awesome video. So well made. I feel so bad for Bart. He seemed so sweet.
This was really good i would never have understanded this without you, thanks
this video and your channel deserve way more attention! this is really good!
Glad you think so! :)
Great video i really enjoyed it, nice editing i would love to see a documentary on the precursor race and all their bases next!
Thanks for the content! It's so great to have all of this info in one place.
You put a lot of work into this and it shows.
Really great vid, thanks for this, you definitely earned a sub.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the support!
my humor is ruined, any time i see the quarantine gun i can only ever think of "Oh hey look, a Civilian airline"
Thanks for putting the lore info together. Listening to them in order in game is alright, but your visuals really bring out the story.
Your videos are very interesting, like I already said earlier. You deserve way more subs fr. Keep up the work!
Glad you like them! :)
Unknown worlds entertainment needs a prequel where you play as someone from the degasi
An amazingly put together video!
Thank you :)
Love the Rimworld background music, if I heard that correctly. 👌
Thanks for putting the story together in the right order!
Brilliant content and very well narrated 👍🏻👍🏻
Please keep making these lore videos they are very interesting
Will do! ;)
Imagine the massive amounts of research Bart Torgal must have accumulated over his time on 4546B. All that information would be vital to fully understanding the secrets of the (at the time) uncharted planet.
It's a shame it was all most likely destroyed by the crashing of the Aurora, and the sequential decimation of the immediate local ecosystem/environment.
Amazing work you really took your time and put in all the leg work 👍👍💯
Glad you enjoyed watching it, it was a lot of fun to make :)
I wanted to ask you how long it took to craft all those plasteel ingots but then I remembered creative exists. Anyway great video.
Thanks!
Nice vid man. Seems like this game is getting alot of new players as well.
AMAZING VIDEO! I am currently so obsessed with subnautica, i am sad that i started playing it so late and never tried it before.
Yeah, me too. About a week ago I saw it on sale for only $10 so I bought it. I have been obsessed with it for the last week
@@kyle--859 same at about the same time as you
I love the part where Bart until then there is still the view
I loved you video it was in depth and very well explained. I look forward to your next video best wishes
This was a great video, just the outro though, from scary to normal/happy
Nice video, you deserve way more subscribers!
Thanks! I appreciate the compliment :)
You are the guy that help's my get the stuf together!
great video! surprised on how little subs you have. I wish you could've included Marguerit Maida's story after the events of the first game, maybe in another video?
I plan to make a whole video on her. I was gonna include all of that in this one, but I feel like her BZ story is distinct enough from the DEGASI to warrant its own documentary
Amazing video! I just finished the game and I had no motivation to go through the logs again to have a better look at the whole story, so this is way better, thank you! I'm just wondering, how did you manage to have the leviathan appear in the grand reef (the 500meter deep zone)? Incredible visuals btw, great job!
I just spawned it in with console commands :)
just got into the game and just completed it without recalling finding any of this stuff i’m so obsessed with this game and its lore now thanks for making this
You’re Welcome :)
I think Bart is the true GOAT here. He didn't have a scanner and figured out that the whole world is infected. He was also able to figure out that they needed to go deeper.
This is actually amazing the base remakes the story telling is just👌
looking at the cinematic trailer the lore of the degasi is shown pretty well, not exact but pretty well
Une vidéo de qualité,on voit clairement que tu prends du temps et du plaisir à les faire
Awesome video! ^^
Thank You 😊
OH MY GID I DIDN'T ACTUALLY EXPECT U TO REPLY AAAAA THANK YOU!!❤
The biggest plothole in Subnautica is how Maida survives the disease.
She’s just built different.
A good theory I heard is that the reaper leviathans are immune to the disease and that by eating it she was able to stave off the bacteria long enough for the cure to go around the planet.
Awesome. Love this game. I might be diving back soon.
This is a really good video
Great vid!
Thanks :)
ur videos are breathtaking XD
Man, the voice acting is so good, I feel like it's real and I actually feel bad
andi heve some thing to say t Breathtaker its that i love your vidios and will allwas wach you new vidios keep up the goow work pls
I’m sorry but you made me genuinely think I was stroking out for a sec
Unknown to them, Maruerit (I probably butchered her name) survived, even past the time of the Aurora crash and the time that Ryley Robinson was on the planet.
amazing video, breathtaking. One of my favorite games ever, hoping to play subnautica 2 in bout 2 years time, sad it wont be on 4546b
i sorta expI sorta expectced to have a little bit of what happened to margret, since we know she survived in below zero, and killed that reaper
I’m gonna make a dedicated video on all that
It'd be coll if you could repair their bases and use them in game
Marguerite is in the wrong game, she should be in Monster Hunter
Keep Moving!
Well, at least Maida survived. Wish we could’ve gotten some PDAs or something about her experiences. Bart being caught in the middle is a tough thing to see. I hope Paul was at peace with the decisions he made.
Is the additional content cannon or original writing? Either way, it's like old-time radio. I love it. Thank you.❤
It is canon
This is so sad. Well done
Was the Final Base that Bart built ever in the Game?
I don't Remember seeing any bases in the safe shallows
Edit: It was on the Crash Zone. I'm Stoopid
No that base never appears in-game
@@lukedovzik2269he means the aurora landed on it
Good video
You may not see this but nan I love your vids I'm a big fan i just wanna say how much I love your vids
Thank you :) I’m play you enjoy them!
You replied!? Your very welcome:)
Dope vid
Thanks :)
this was beautiful ngl
Cool video! Very well amde, thank you for your effort
honestly why tf didn't they build a base in the safe shallows from the start
Because plot go brrrrr
Did they make it to the shallows?
@@robertpresley1503they made it it both the jellyshroom caves and what was there before the aurora crashed (drstroying the base altogether)
You should do the mercury 2 next idk the story behind that
It’s on my list
How about the story of Robin's sister's workmates, like Parvan and Fred?@@Breathtaker5000
I am listening this story another time and this video is done amazingly. Now if I have to be honest, Margaritue is the best and badass character in the game. Great expert on surviving and she knows what to do and how to survive. Sure, she was reckless but still, she wanted to discover the truth. Bart is also a cool character. Curious around the world and he was determined to find the cure. Too bad he didn't make it. About Paul, even though he is elder, he was arrogant and completely listens only to himself and stuborn. He was a poor and incompetent leader and he couldn't make a proper decision that would help them to survive and finding the truth. So, yeah. Very interesting story of Degasi crew.
I'm enjoying these lore videos of yours. I'm curious though, why do people say that Paul was killed by the Crabsquid? I know there is the trailer, but how do people know that is actually Paul? Is it just speculation again? Regardless, are you going to continue with Below Zero lore? I think a deep dive (heh) video on the infected Ice Beast would be cool.
I've always assumed Paul was indirectly killed by a Warper. He descripes seeing a "blue light" below him, but when he swims closer it's gone, causing him to wonder if he'd seen anything at all. Then he simply drowns because he says he's low on oxygen.
@@devoutrelic1228 Never, that does make a lot of sense and then I imagine that other creatures picked up the sense of his blood.
I got the information about Paul’s death from the wiki and the first trailer, where it shows (presumably) Paul getting attacked by a crabsquid
The trailer analysis bit is somewhat of an educated guess
@@Breathtaker5000 In the absence of any actual definitive answer to how he died, that interpretation is just as good as mine. Personally I like mine better simply because I like the Warpers, but yours would give the Crabsquid some love. The Warpers are already credited in killing basically half of all the survivors, so they can settle for having killed one less.
it's made extra unfortunate when you consider that both of them were smart and read each side of each situation
if they had just stopped arguing so often they might have made it back alive
Video deserves millions of likes. Fr looks like it took hours, let alone the editing. Great video man. 👍
agreed, this is absolutely fantastic. great storytelling and presentation for the win here.
25:10 Was it ever confirmed that it was a crab? What if it was the emperor trying to contact them? Bart mentions the "Visions" which I believe to have been from the emperor so it could be possible that is what his father saw?
You need to continue the degasi with the survival of meda in below zero
Good story, but Paul's comment screams sea dragon, if only the lines had been changed to 'as big as a cyclops' & 'mandibles', that woulda tracked.
It’s confirmed to be a reaper in the second game
thank you so much im doing a playthrough of the game and i wanted to know some lore
At the very end, where you say Bart left and created a final base in the (now) Crash Zone, is that base in-game, or mentioned somewhere? That doesn't sound familiar to me.
I think it’s the one in the trailer
@@TFBPDK I wonder if it's just "ah the plants look right and we can't find the base anymore, so it just have been too close to the impact"? Or if there was more to that analysis. That'd be an interesting video to see.
@@janusfenixit must have been destroyed by the aurora as at the end of the trailer we see the aurora crashing real close to where his base was
i remember that quote from the trailer “we shouldn’t have gone so deep”
margeruit sounds like Valkyrie from apex just a lil bit older.
Reaper: i am the apex predator up here!!!!
Marguerite: *are you sure about that?*
Marguerite: There is no god up here
