      thats not true unfortunately, i had spawns marked in the map and went back there several nights later and no spawns at all... all you need to get serpent spawns is to sail during nighttime on wide ocean biomes, i know for a fact they spawn a lot more frequently at night(even wiki says that) you get at least 1 maybe 2 serpents during the 9 minutes night time, and they also might be more common during storms, but this one requires large samples to test it and i dont think anyone did it yet

    Hey just a tip! Been soloing most of this game and I find it the easiest to make a wall in the shape of a U or V on the coast before going out. Since they travel a strait line to the waters. They'll just sit there stuck and easy farm. I've only done this with the hoe to make the walls so far but it works extremely well. For all my solo players, have fun!

    I've found that if you shoot them while still in the water, they don't run until you get them under half health. Could be useful to bring their health down a bit on the way to the shore prior to dragging them inland just to shorten that tug of war up a bit

  • @davidtal523
    @davidtal523 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    tip i found out earlier today: if you drag him inland try to head for any shallow body of water (river or whatever) when you loose him, he'll head there as the nearest source of water, but wont be able to go anywhere. its basicly an AI manipulation. the time it takes the critter to figure out that's not the ocean and it needs to wriggel on elsewhere, you should have easily regained enough stam to take him out.

    As a side note for those who don't know why he goes the extra mile to bring it to land, it is because the trophy and scales of the serpent do not float, unlike the meat. Meaning you need to kill it in shallow water if you want to get those.

    Love your vids man, The line only snaps when your stam depletes or like you said, you stretch it insanely far. I would recommend medium stam mead or tasty mead to get that instant stam bar refill or 300% fill rate. Keep up the good Vids man. Maybe just show a quick run down of your kit/bag and let them google the items they don't have :P . try drag one up for the Deathsquito's. they finish them off quick.

    I could be wrong as the game is procedurally generated, but I think serpent spawns are based on territory. I have a co-op server with my buddies, and we were sailing to try and find a swamp biome. on the way there we encountered a serpent, so we beelined it for the closest land and decided to build an outpost there. my other friend hopped on, and made a raft to get to us quickly... encountered the serpent as soon as he took the same path to get to us.

    I actually think the swamp helped a lot. If you can drag the snake into the mobs that fight it, all you have to do is drag him and tank a bit of damage. Also you missed a scale in the water :)))

      Yes you can but the harpoon slowly drain your stamina and the serpent can catch up to your ship and damage it so it's much safer to just find a nearby black forest or meadow and put it to rest there. A few hit with a bronze mace should put it to rest

    With my very first iron load (via cart probably 2 full stacks from crypt to the shore/boat via a very bumpy "path"), I was so excited not to have to do the copper/tin duo, but I still had to haul it back to home via boat across a "lake"... As I leave shore, the wind changes and I lose all power... suddenly a sea serpent appears in the sudden storm. Oh @#$%. I freak out and rowing back into the wind is taking awhile (probably hit some rocks). Sea Serpent takes 1, 2, then 3 chomps, and I have no idea how much damage my karve will take... man, do I have to do this all over again... and suddenly, sail catches the wind. and i'm free! I think my heart skipped a few beats.

    Just a reminder, to best tackle sea serpents, you're gonna want to have the dragon Moder's power. Being able to control the direction of the wind is critical when trying to tow a serpent to the land. You don't want to be going against the wind, have your ship trashed, and you drown... permanently losing any items that weren't in the ships hold.

    You read my mind, your new videos coincide with my projects many times. I did a great mistake, I let the head of the serpent inside the water. It's very important that when it dies the head is above the land or in very shallow water, because the scales drop from the head alone and go to the bottom of the water.

    if the wind is on your side the boat will be too fast for the serpent to hit the boat but it will still chase you, they have such little hp theres no reason to prepare so hard unless maybe its a 1 or 2 star. it takes under a minute to kill one with bronze arrows with 0 damage taken to player or boat. with bronze arrows and t2 bow my first backstab shot does 50% of its max hp lol

  • @seanaguilar2057
    @seanaguilar2057 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This is almost the exact opposite of what I do. lol.
    I do it the easy way.
    Take off everything but trash gear, a bow and arrows. Frost arrows seem to work best but any will do. From the meadow (anywhere works but you'll be heading back so meadow means least land enemies)
    , go out to Ocean biome at night and hang out or drive in circles. Serpent spawns and will chase you, this is why you don't go too far from land but just into Ocean. Beach your boat, (or dock if you're near home), shoot with arrows. He aggro's and will keep coming back to attack. Make sure your last/kill shot is when the serpent is nearest land.
    Basically the same thing without the dragging and stamina and I've never got hit, nor have I lost a ship but if I do, I'm only wearing junk anyway. Even if you kill the serpent in deeper water, just jump in before/as it poofs into meat and scales and you'll get it all. Just make sure you have enough stamina to get back to the boat. Since I do this near land, never been a problem.

  • @SebastianGonzalez-wg4nz
    @SebastianGonzalez-wg4nz 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I hunt serpents with troll armor, you can hit it in the body and stay away from the head it will never hit you back, also i only eat nektail, meat and honey and is enough stamina to do it, she is slow so you can easly harpoon her again if the line breaks. i think he overprepared a lot.

    Tip if you cant reach scales because they are too deep.

    My recommendation from serpent hunting, they tend to spawn in ocean, they can "spawn" during the day and may see it, however night time and storms seem to trigger the attack. Come back roughly 2 days later to the same area and it should be respawned as it doesnt seem to be completely random.
    I recommend slightly better gear and a long ship for killing the serpent quicker.

    Yea arrows are the only preparation you need. Eventually they run away. Just jump back into the boat and aggro it again. The only downside of that process is it's hard to control exactly where the serpent dies. If it's too deep, which happens, you may not get your scales. Haven't tried to raise the ground there, but if that happens, it may be worth trying.
