Description

EN  This oversized giant isopod is the size of a baby. Living in the depths of the crevasse off dead whales or fish carcasses and generally cleaning up the seabed, his size makes him king of the scavengers. As he tends to the dead in the dark depths, he is aptly named.  This oversized giant isopod is the size of a young child. Living in the depths of the crevasse off the carcasses of whales or fish and generally cleaning up the seabed, his size makes him king of the scavengers. As he tends to the dead in the dark depths he is aptly named. FR  Ce bathynome géant d'une longueur exceptionnelle a la taille d'un enfant de six ans. Il vit au fond de la crevasse où il se nourrit de baleines mortes, de carcasses de poissons et plus généralement de tout ce qui gît dans les fonds marins. Sa taille en fait le roi des charognards et, prenant ainsi soin des cadavres reposant dans les sombres profondeurs, il porte bien son nom. GE  Diese übergroße Riesenassel hat in etwa die Ausmaße eines Schulkinds. Sie lebt in den Tiefen der Kluft, wo sie sich von den Überresten toter Fische und Wale sowie dem, was sie sonst noch beim Reinigen des Ozean-bodens findet, ernährt. Ihre Größe macht sie zum König der Aasfresser, und da sie sich um die Toten der dunklen Tiefen kümmert, ist ihr Name angemessen gewählt. IT  Questo isopode gigante ha le dimensioni di un bambino. Vive a grandi profondità nutrendosi delle carcasse delle balene e degli altri pesci che trova sul fondale, per questo viene chiamato ''il Guardiano del cimitero''. JP  通常より、はるかに巨大なダイオウグソクムシで、人間の子供ぐらいの大きさ。おそらくこのクレバスに生息するスカベンジャー（深海に沈んだ生物の死骸を食べ、掃除する役割を持った生物）のボスにあたる存在だろう。地獄の墓守といった風格。  This oversized giant isopod is about the size of a human child. It is probably the boss of the scavengers (creatures responsible for eating and cleaning up the carcasses of sunken creatures in the deep sea) that inhabit this crevasse. It looks like Hell's grave keeper. ? SP  Este isópodo gigante hipertrofiado es del tamaño de un niño pequeño. Rey de los carroñeros sin discusión gracias a su envergadura, habita en grietas de las profundidades alimentándose de los cadáveres de ballenas y peces, y, en general, limpiando el fondo marino. Dada su costumbre de vigilar a los muertos de las profundidades, su nombre es más que descriptivo.

Trivia

EN  [Giant centipedes] Giant isopods grow to 20 in. and are the largest members of the order Isopoda, which includes woodlice. The arthropleura, a kind of giant centipede and also a member of this family, roamed the land about 300 million years ago and grew over 6 ft. long. Their growth may have been the result of higher oxygen concentrations at that time. This is particularly interesting, as the giant isopod lives at the bottom of the sea where there is little oxygen.  [Giant centipedes] Giant isopods grow to 50cm and are the largest members of the order isopoda, which includes woodlice. The arthropleura, a kind of giant centipede and also a member of this family, roamed the land about 300 million years ago and grew over two metres long. Their growth may have been the result of higher oxygen concentrations at that time. This is particularly interesting as the giant isopod lives at the bottom of the sea where there is little oxygen. FR  (Mille-pattes géants) Le bathynome géant, le plus grand membre de l'ordre des isopodes, est apparenté au cloporte et peut mesurer jusqu'à 50 cm. Dans la même famille, l'arthropleura était une sorte de mille-pattes géant qui foulait le sol terrestre il y a 300 millions d'années et atteignait plus de 2 m, sûrement grâce à la plus forte concentration en oxygène qui régnait alors. Ceci est particulièrement intéressant car les bathynomes géants vivent au fond de la mer, où l'oxygène est rare. GE  [Riesenhafte Ahnen] Riesenasseln werden bis zu 50 cm groß und stellen damit den größten Vertreter der Ordnung der Isopodia. Vor 300 Millionen Jahren durch-streifte Arthropleura das Land, ein Riesengliederfüßer der-selben Unterordnung – der allerdings über zwei Meter lang war! Dieser gigantische Wuchs wird mit dem höheren Sauer-stoffgehalt der Luft zu dieser Zeit erklärt – was die Größe der Riesenassel angesichts ihres sauerstoffarmen Lebensraumes am Meeresgrund recht interes-sant macht. IT  [Lontanissimi parenti] Gli isopodi giganti possono arrivare a 50 cm di lunghezza e sono i più grandi tra i membri dell'ordine degli isopodi, che comprende anche i tarli. Sono lontani parenti degli arthropleura, millepiedi giganti esistiti 300 milioni di anni fa, che arrivavano a due metri di lunghezza. La crescita degli arthropleura era probabilmente dovuta all'alta concentrazione di ossigeno nell'atmosfera dell'epoca. L'isopode gigante, invece, cresce in fondo al mare, dove c'è poco ossigeno.

Endless Ocean 2

ZD

ZD

The Grave Keeper can be found in the Zahhab Region Depths, at coordinates C-4NW, isolated from its brethren in the southernmost of the Twin Caves.

How to Find It

The Grave Keeper's quest is simple, especially when compared to the majority of the other quests involved in discovering the other legendaries. After the quest "The Grave Keeper" has been unlocked in the player's notebook, which is achieved by completing Chapter 5 of the main story, they need to dive with Oceana in the Depths and head over to the Twin Caves. When the pair arrives, there will be a noise in one cave - investigating further and holding out some food will lure out the Grave Keeper himself. From then on, he can be found at the Twin Caves regardless of Oceana's presence.

Endless Ocean 2

Introduction

Oceana: "Oh... Oh... My... I..."

Jean-Eric: "It appears Oceana has been rendered speechless. That's quite a feat! Look at the size of that giant isopod! That must be the creature nicknamed the Grave Keeper. It's an infamous beast. It's amazing anything could grow so big with such sparse food at these depths. I wonder if we'll ever solve all the mysteries of the deep..."

Oceana: "I... I can't believe I just saw that! My life is complete! This is totally amazing! This guy's my new favorite creature ever! Seriously! Look at it! Can you imagine anything more awesome!"

Behavior

He slowly scuttles around on the rocky floor of his cave. The player can get his trivia by feeding him, a fact that's easily hinted at, seeing how food is what causes him to appear in the first place.

Notes

• This is one of Jean-Eric's favorite creatures.
• The Grave Keeper's description suggests that he spends a lot of time scavenging from whale corpses, yet no such corpses are seen in the Depths at all. This is a distinction from the first game in which a whale skeleton could be seen in the Abyss.
