  • Secondly, More Multipurpose rooms can be added on top of each other If you are not having enough fun with the first one! A second Multipurpose Room can be used to increase the vertical size of a Multipurpose Room.

Summary

You can potentially get the Multipurpose Room at the start of the game but you’ll have to travel a long distance and know where to look. The Floating Island is your best bet but most players face a Leviathan in that location or go too far and enter the dead zone by accident. Make sure that you follow the directions exactly and look out for a large island. You can also find one in Jellyshroom Cave and the Deep Grand Reef.

FAQs

Will I encounter Leviathans near the Floating Island?

No, it would be best if you didn’t face any Leviathans. However, most players overshoot and accidentally enter the dead zone where there are tons of Leviathans. As long as you follow the directions and stay near the island, you should be absolutely safe.

How far is the Floating Island from the crash point?

The Floating Island is about 1200-1300 meters away from your spawn point when you begin the game. If you turn about 90 degrees to your right and look closely, you’ll notice ominous-looking clouds covering something. Go straight in that direction and you’ll reach the island in no time.

Can you make a Ghost Leviathan follow you?

Yes, you can technically “tame” a Ghost Leviathan but it is a dangerous task and new players shouldn’t do this. Once a Leviathan is following you, swim to the surface and let it feast on the sea moth (or any other submarine). Afterward, it will follow you around without attacking you.
