I'm not sure what a "molar" is... can you explain, please?

There were several things that freaked me out when playing through the very first time. Even after playing subsequent games, some of the diving is STILL nerve-wracking, thanks mostly to the sneaky moray eels.

The moray eel hiding in the cockpit of the AK-905.
The Great White sharks in the pool area of the Ballena.
The moray eel hiding in the torpedo-room of the Sombra.
The gulper shark at the bottom of Telospolis.
The moray eel hiding in the room in the Edmund.
The lowest levels of the Ballena.
The upper levels of the Edmund (I HATE SEA SNAKES!).
All of the complicated dives before I got the Infinite Rebreather.

Fun question! Thanks!

A molar is a big red and white fish that looks like some sort of giant head


p.s. also seeing a ribbon fish was pretty scary aswell

Ahhhh, OK, now I remember. I thought the ribbon fish was really cool. And that molar is ugly as hell. Yuck.

None of the fish ever really scared me or freaked me out, except for the sharks. I think the very worst "open-sea fish scare" I ever had in the game was the first time I came face-to-face with a Gulper shark in the total blackness of the deepest part of the abyss. That scared the HOLY CRAP outta me.

An interesting side-fact... in real life, gulper sharks are completely non-threatening and eat mostly plankton. They don't have huge teeth and they've never been known to attack humans.

the things that freak me out the most are
1. going into the cockpit for the time, and geting bitten by the eel.
2. the engine room of the luxury liner(hated doing Elian's Coin Search)
3. getting lost in the Telospolis for over an hour trying to get out.
4.seeing the Coelacanth swim into you face when you go to Telospolis for thr first time

when the AK-905 was about to blow up.

quote Gabriala

when the AK-905 was about to blow up.

yes i am shure.....uhem NALA REGINA AND THE DIARY

A young woman named Nala is being grossly overcharged by a salvage company called
Seadross for the job of locating her departed father's diary aboard a sunken airplane.

Talking to Nala will allow you to offer to help her out so that she does not have to succumb to
Seadross' financial blackmail. She will give you a map to the downed aircraft, the AK-905, and
a serum syringe to help against the poisonous fish within the wreck. The plane is NE of the
island in 50 meters of water near the east fish shoal. When you dive, look on the worldmap for
a roughly circular, shallower area of the right depth north of the east fish shoal where the dive
pushpin refuses to let you place it - that's the plane. Dive as close up against this spot as
possible.

Inside the plane, swim down the corridor that goes to the room with all of the double and triple
plane seats. Swim through this room and up the stairs in the room past it. Past the lionfish is a
corridor with doors to three private rooms - the second door is the one you want. The diary is
on the floor. When you leave the room with the diary, Seadross begins to use explosives to
"salvage" the wreck. I decided against waiting to see what would happen if I did not leave the
wreck. Return the diary to Nala, and she will give you 5000G and NALA'S SHELL OF
GRATITUDE. see what did i tell you? *smirks at you*

Seadross uses explosives to salvage the wreck. They don't blow it up, as you had said.

The AK-905 survives the entire game, completely intact, and you are always able to go back and dive it, even after completing the game.

So, no, the AK-905 doesn't get "blown up" at any point in the game.

when i went into the ballena and went into the pool/shark room I had NEVER heard the shark music so I just went on truckin when I came face to face with a shark and i nearly fainted ( RATCHET AND CLANK GAMES ROCK )

Finding the 1st wreck (the Pestolata)

3rd level of the Pestolata (big open room, suddenly cars and trucks!)

The AK-905 and the Well (I'm a bit claustrophobic)

Running head-first into a shark while on low health - instant GAME OVER.
