How to clear Infested Bloom Clankers and clean Axum Vision Angel Comb in Subnautica 2

The final Angel Comb in Subnautica 2‘s early access build provides us with the Axum Vision, but to do so, we will have to deal with a severe wave of infestations. Clearing the infestation will activate the Angel Comb and allow us to get the modification.

Let’s find out how to access the final Angel Comb.

How to clear the Infested Bloom Clankers (pink flowers) in Subnautica 2

Before we proceed with the puzzle, here’s a list of items you’ll need.

• A Tadpole with the Depth Mk. I module enabled.
• Feedback Resonator
• Better fins, oxygen tanks, and Rebreather

Head east from the lifepod by following E on your compass. You’ll come across the Research Center, aka Alien Ruins, at about 1300m from the lifepod. If you refer to the image below, you’ll find a cave opening on the left.

Head inside, and you’ll find a juvenile Alien Comb that’s inactive. There are two infested Bloom Clankers on each side; shoot at them with a Feedback Resonator.

If you get too close, the Bloom Clankers will just close and won’t take damage. This is what I do: aim at them, and close in slowly. Once the aim turns green, fire your shot.

Once the first two Bloom Clankers are eliminated, follow the root of the Angel Comb going outside the cave. Head straight, and then turn right. Go straight, and you’ll find one Bloom Clanker to your left, and one hidden in the wall behind the second juvenile Angel Comb.

After eliminating both, return to the point where you took the right turn in the previous step. Head straight and keep following the roots. At one point, you’ll go past the adult Angel Comb and find a cliff in front of you.

Swim above, and you’ll find a broken-down lab. Head inside, and use the floor opening to head all the way down. There, you’ll find two Bloom Clankers; eliminate both.

Now, the only task left is to clean the adult Angel Comb. There will be two more infected Bloom Clankers. One of those will be located to the right of the Angel Comb. The other one is located at some distance to the left.

Once you kill both, the senior Angel Comb will be cleaned, and it will become responsive. You can now place your hand to get the Axum Vision modification. With this modification, you can directly interact with Axum technology.

The Tadpole is your best friend when it comes to deep-sea exploration in Subnautica 2, and we can improve it with some extremely useful upgrades. The upgrades come in different shapes and sizes, but they all improve your submarine in one way or another.

You’ll have to find all the upgrade modules manually, and this guide is here to help you out.

How to find all Tadpode upgrades in Subnautica 2

Before I dive deep, you should note that there’s no fixed way to find these upgrade modules. My sequence is the most optimum one, and you’ll save a lot of time.

Scout Ray Chassis location

This is the only upgrade module that’s not located around the Alien Ruins Research Outpost. Instead, you’ll need to head to the Tadpole Pens in the warm area of the ocean. Head inside, and continue on the straight path. You’ll find the Scout Ray in the Moonpool; scan with your scanner, and we are done.

I highly recommend upgrading to the Scout Ray if you’ve th resources. This chassis gives a huge speed bump to your Tadpole, and it will help save a lot of time during the next steps.

Engine Efficiency upgrade location

Head east from your Lifepod and you’ll find the Alien Ruins Research Outpost at approximately 1300m. Head inside, and turn right. You’ll find the Engine Efficiency upgrade module.

Strike Armor upgrade location

From the Research Outpost, travel between 195 and 210 degrees on the compass. You should aim for a depth of approximately 190m (go gradually instead of taking a sharp dive).

You’ll find the platform with the Strike Armor upgrade at around 60m from the outpost.

Cavitation Muffler upgrade location

This is the furthest upgrade module to find. Return to the front of the outpost. Head to deeper depths while aiming at around 75 degrees east on the compass. You’ll come across the above structure in the image (this is the Power Center). Go past the arc shown in the picture, and then past the pillar.

The screen will become greener, and you’ll find a set of colorful alien plants to your right. Keep to your left, and keep going deeper targetting around 350m of depth. At around 370m of depth, you’ll find a platform on the edge of the cliff on the left (it’s extremely close to the early access area boundary).

Here, you’ll find the Cavitation Muffler upgrade. You should return to the Outpost after obtaining this module.

Photovoltaic Charger upgrade location

Head towards 120 degrees on the compass from the outpost. You’ll find the Blackbox – Iso marker that you should use as your guide. Keep a steady depth of 120m and head straight. You’ll come across an Alterra starship wreck. Park your Tadpole and head inside using the door on the left.

Head straight, turn right, and you’ll find a broken door. Repair the door, and head inside. Then turn left and go to the next room. Take the door to the left corner, and you’ll come across the room with the ISO. The module is diagonally opposite to the dining table that has the ISO on it.

Depth Module Mk. I upgrade location

Return to the front of the Research Outpost. Aim at 165 degrees on the compass, and you’ll find the Blackbox – Ruby 2 pop up on your screen. Head to the spot and reach the bottom layer of the location. You can enter through the broken rocks; I entered through a narrow spot on the left (leave your Tadpole), and you’ll find Ruby 2’s black box.

You’ll also find a broken-down Tadpole, with the Depth Module Mk. 1 beside it.

Haul Chassis upgrade locations

To get the Haul Chassis, you’ll need to scan three fragments. The first one is located just by the Depth Module Mk. 1 upgrade. Once done, return to the Research Outpost and head straight targeting between East and 105 degrees on the compass.

Go past the dome of the Power Center (stick strictly to 105 degrees now), and head straight. Keep heading straight, and you’ll reach another Alterra shipwreck at about 200m depth.

The second Haul Chassis part is on a platform to the left.

To find the final one, you can refer to this guide, which states the location of the final Angel Comb. You’ll want to go past the Angel Comb and head straight, following the root until you reach an acidic pool.

Look to your left past the alien structures after entering the pool room, and you’ll find your final chassis part.

Complete the scan, and your Tadpole will now be able to equip the Haul Chassis.
