Sea serpents are large monsters that roam the ocean biomes of Valheim; Here you will find everything you need to know to find and kill them, as well as their weaknesses.
How to Find a Sea Serpent in Valheim
To find Sea Serpents in Valheim, you'll need a boat, and you'll need to search the depths of ocean biomes in the game; However, before embarking on such a journey, you will need to prepare yourself because sea monsters are no joke.
That said, we recommend making the following preparations to make dealing with sea snakes a little easier.
Tips for Finding and Dealing with Sea Serpent | Sea Serpent Weakness
- Craft a full set of iron armor. Sea Serpents hit hard, so it's recommended to bring your sturdiest armor to withstand their onslaught.
- Build a longship; Sea Serpents will target your ship when they attack, so because of that, we recommend crafting the strongest ship so you can last long enough to kill it.
- Craft an Abyssal Harpoon. Crafting and using a Harpoon in Valheim can keep a Sea Serpent from moving, so you can take a few shots at it.
- Craft at least one Hunters or Dragger fang bow; Sea serpents are weak to ranged attacks, and if you make the strongest possible bow combined with decent arrows, you'll be slaying the beast in no time.
- Use Frost Arrow or Needle Arrows; Overall, we have the best chance of killing Sea Serpents with Needles or Freeze Arrows. Frost Arrows are useful for freezing the Sea Serpent in place, allowing you to reduce its health. On the other hand, Needle Arrows, when combined with a Dragur Bow, can wipe out half their health.
- Search ocean biomes in the event of an assault; You can sometimes find Sea Serpents more often when storming around in the game.
