Decoding the Trivalve: Exploring the Blue and Yellow Eggs of Subnautica: Below Zero
The intriguing world of Subnautica: Below Zero is populated with diverse marine life, and among the most curious are the enigmatic Trivalves. These small, shelled creatures are not only fascinating in their adult form but also in their unique egg stage. But what exactly are these blue and yellow eggs, and what secrets do they hold? The short answer is that the blue Trivalve eggs hatch into blue Trivalves, and the yellow Trivalve eggs hatch into yellow Trivalves. However, there’s more to know about them, and this article will dive deep into the world of Trivalve eggs and answer some frequently asked questions.
Trivalve Eggs: A Closer Look
The Trivalve is a unique creature in Subnautica: Below Zero. They’re small, shelled, and come in two distinct colors: blue and yellow. Similarly, their eggs also come in these colors, indicating which color Trivalve will hatch. The blue Trivalve eggs are found in various locations, and once hatched, the little blue Trivalve will swim around and interact with their surroundings. Similarly, yellow Trivalve eggs hatch into the bright yellow variant of the Trivalve.
These eggs are not just decorative; they are a crucial part of the game’s ecosystem and can be collected by the player. You’ll often encounter them in specific biomes, making exploration a key factor in finding these unique eggs. But what do you do with them? Let’s delve into this process next.
Utilizing Trivalve Eggs
Unlike some eggs that might require unique or complicated hatching methods, Trivalve eggs are relatively easy to handle. The process is straightforward, requiring a single step: placing them in an Alien Containment tank.
This tank, a crucial structure in Subnautica: Below Zero, is where you can incubate and hatch many creature eggs, including the Trivalve eggs. To obtain the Alien Containment tank blueprint, you need to explore the Mercury II wreckage, specifically the bow section, where you can find and scan the required data.
Once the blueprint is acquired and the tank built, simply place the Trivalve eggs inside, and they will eventually hatch into their respective adult forms. Once hatched, they provide some visual interest for your base, swimming peacefully around the tank.
