Context:

Subnautica 2 players clear the Alien Ruins Angel Comb by targeting three hidden juvenile comns that feed a mature specimen, using upgraded tools and navigational aids. The process requires acquiring a feedback resonator, upgrading prior gear, and visiting distant wrecks, with each juvenile protected by canker blooms and hostile parasites. A fourth, overarching mutation is unlocked after purging the mature comb, but a current bug can block interaction with the mutation. The guide notes potential delays and points to additional beginner and resource guides for new players. Forward look focuses on awaiting a developer fix for the mutation and continuing exploration of Axum-related tech.

Dive Deeper:

• The first juvenile comb lies in a cave 100 meters west of the Alien Ruins at about 167 meters depth; blooms close when approached, so the sonic resonator must be upgraded to a feedback resonator, then used to destroy all blooms in the room to clear the comb.

• The second juvenile is roughly 390 meters southeast of the main Angel Comb and 320 meters southeast of the Alien Ruins, near domed Power Plant structures connected by pipes; follow the gigantic purple roots if lost, destroy the blooms with a charged blast, and you’ll confront a 300-meter-deep area requiring the tadpole’s depth module.

• The third juvenile is 450 miles east of the Angel Comb in Cicada wreckage perched on a cliff; an opening is blocked by a canker bloom, so use the feedback resonator to gain access, then descend through a broken floor into a long vertical cave with multiple blooms and guarding parasites.

• After clearing the three juveniles, return to the mature bloom and purge three additional canker blooms that appear around it to cure the mature Angel Comb and gain a mutation that enables interaction with Axum technology, though some players may encounter a bug preventing mutation interaction.

• The guide cautions that this mutation-interaction bug has no current fix and advises patience for a developer patch, while also suggesting additional beginner guides and resource tips (e.g., sonic resonator acquisition and key materials) to support progress in Subnautica 2.
