Video watch notes
What to pause, compare, and write down
Do not watch the video like entertainment only. Use these notes as a second-screen checklist: pause on landmarks, confirm the player action, then return to the written route.
Watchlist
Pause on Symbol read and identify the landmark, depth band, or objective state before following the next step.
Use Reward check to confirm what changed; if the video only shows a close-up, rebuild the route from the previous landmark.
Treat Puzzle entry as the exit rule: finish the objective, return, and update storage or crafting before adding side goals.
Symbol read
Read the symbol or room cue before pressing devices so the state change is understandable.
Action: Pause at the entrance and identify the locked or inactive state.
Reward check
Confirm the reward or unlocked state before calling the Angel Comb route complete.
Action: Read symbols, devices, or room clues before pressing anything.
Puzzle entry
Pause at the puzzle entry and protect the return line before solving.
Action: Change one state, then confirm what visually changed.

Turn the video into playable checkpoints

Route decision lab
Decide if this route is worth running now
This section turns the video into a practical in-game decision. Use it before leaving base, after the first landmark, and again before entering a deeper or darker area.
Route purpose
Solve Angel Comb puzzles by reading the room first: identify the visible clue, interact with one device at a time, confirm the state change, then leave or continue only while the return route is still clear.
Visual checkpoint
Read the symbol or room cue before pressing devices so the state change is understandable.
Map anchor
Angel Comb Puzzle Chain in Alien puzzle route. Use it for use this when the puzzle route needs a room-reading checklist instead of random interactions.
Abort rule
Pressing every interaction before reading the room.
Field manual translation
Solve Angel Comb puzzles by reading the room first: identify the visible clue, interact with one device at a time, confirm the state change, then leave or continue only while the return route is still clear. Use this state-change route manual as a second-screen checklist: identify the entry condition, confirm the objective with a visual proof point, then stop when the return rule is met. This keeps the article practical for Early Access patches without pretending every coordinate or state is final.
Primary job
Angel Comb - Pause at the entrance and identify the locked or inactive state.
Best entry habit
Scanner - Read symbols, devices, or room clues before pressing anything.
Stop condition
Pressing every interaction before reading the room. - Change one state, then confirm what visually changed.
Patch-safe reading
Exact item positions can shift during Early Access. The useful part of this page is the route logic: what to prepare, what visual cue to confirm, what objective to finish, and when to turn back.

What this guide covers
Requirements
- Scanner
- Return path
- Room-state notes
Use this if
You want a route you can follow from video evidence without needing exact official coordinates. The screenshots and steps are written to help you recognize areas, landmarks, and decisions while playing.
Early Access can move details. Treat this as a video-based walkthrough and verify landmarks in your own build.
Step-by-step walkthrough
Follow the video route without guessing
Pause at the entrance and identify the locked or inactive state.
Use this step as a route checkpoint, not as a promise that every object spawns in one exact coordinate. Match the landmark, compare the screenshot, then continue only if the return path is still clear.
If your game build looks different, stay with the same decision: keep oxygen safe, scan or collect the current blocker, and return before pushing into the next unknown area.

Detailed notes
Read first, interact second
Angel Comb puzzles punish random interaction because every extra action makes the route harder to remember. Treat the first pass as information gathering, then solve the visible blocker.
How to use this in-game
Turn this note into one action before leaving base: decide the objective, keep only the materials or tools that support it, then stop the route once the scan, pickup, or landmark is confirmed. This keeps the guide useful even when Early Access patches move small details.
Reward confirmation
The puzzle is only complete when the reward, adaptation, door, or objective state has changed. Record that proof before moving on.

Video route notes
All Angel Comb Puzzles should be followed as a puzzle route, not as a memory test. Start by watching the first route movement and naming the entry condition before copying the path in-game. Pause at the entrance and identify the locked or inactive state. Then pause again when the video reaches the first visible proof point, because that is where the guide changes from general advice into an action you can repeat. Read symbols, devices, or room clues before pressing anything. If the route starts to feel different in your build, keep the same player goal: separate room reading, device order, and exit timing.

Screenshot checkpoints
Use screenshots as checkpoints instead of decoration. The first image should answer where the route begins, the second should show what confirms progress, and the third should explain what to do after the scan, pickup, puzzle state, or threat read is visible. Change one state, then confirm what visually changed. This is especially important in Early Access because exact positions can drift while landmarks, depth bands, room states, and player decisions stay useful. A good screenshot lets you say, "I am at the right kind of place," before you risk oxygen, storage space, or vehicle safety.
Entry frame: match the landmark before moving deeper
Proof frame: confirm state-change proof
Exit frame: know the return direction before adding side goals

Stop rule and next dive
The most useful part of this page is the stop rule. Pressing every interaction before reading the room. Calling the puzzle solved without checking the reward or door state. When the objective is confirmed, return and convert it into progress: craft the upgrade, sort the material, save the route note, or mark the blocker as solved. If the route fails, do not repeat the same swim blindly. Change one variable at a time: enter from a clearer landmark, reduce inventory clutter, bring the missing tool, or wait until oxygen and vehicle support match the route. That turns a failed puzzle route into better field knowledge instead of another random interaction loop.

Common mistakes
Pressing every interaction before reading the room.
Calling the puzzle solved without checking the reward or door state.
Staying too long because the room feels almost solved.
FAQ
Is this guide for the current Subnautica 2 build?
This page is written for Early Access and includes a visible update date. Treat exact values as tracking notes until the current build is field-tested.
Does this page use official screenshots?
Pages combine attributed official Steam / Unknown Worlds media, local gameplay frame captures, and source-video evidence cards. New player-submitted captures should keep the route, timestamp, and build context attached.

Near starter shallows
Approx. 70-120m from pod
Confirm oxygen before leaving the first landmark. The route is much safer when you mark the return path before collecting side materials.

N/A
Creature patrol ranges and fragment placement can shift between builds, so treat exact distances as field estimates until multiple players confirm them.
