Strategy
It is recommended to bring 2 or more people during hunts while using the Karve or Longship when farming Serpents as Rafts are very slow and fragile. Bringing flint arrows or above while having a decent Bow is strongly advised.
Serpents often break off their attack if players lures them too far from their original locations, making the Abyssal harpoon a frequent necessity if one intends to kill Serpents for their Scales, as they sink in water and generally will otherwise not spawn if solid ground is not present at time of death.
Notes
- A player with a Finewood bow or better should be able to kill a Serpent before it destroys a Karve, but not before it would destroy a Raft. Use caution on long ocean voyages in Rafts, as a lone player will not be able to kill a hostile Serpent before it destroys their raft.
- It is possible to kill Serpents using melee weapons if they are right next to a beach or hugging a raft. The Frostner is capable of greatly crippling them to a stand-still.
- Serpents are currently the only hostile creatures in the Ocean biome. According to the developer Road Map, this will change in the future.
