Valheim – Sea Serpent | Kraken – Guide

In order to properly take on the Sea Serpent/Kraken in Valheim, you need to do some prep work before the encounter.

The Kraken has been written about for centuries, maybe even millennia, and they show up as you’d expect.

You will find the Kraken randomly in the ocean. Don’t be deceived, as they look like little islands or archipelagos to the naked eye. Once you jump on its head, you’ll see Abyssal Barnacles. Snag some of that and it will give “chitin” which you can use to get a nice new knife known as the Abyssal Razor.

This is one of the highest base damage knives in the game and it makes for a nice tip on a harpoon. An Abyssal Harpoon.

When the Kraken begins to shake (when you are mining the barnacles), that’s your queue to get out of Dodge. Once you’ve got a ship and a harpoon, it’s time to slay the Kraken.

When sailing the blue ocean searching for the big serpent, stay close to shore. You may have to make a quick getaway. While the Kraken is chasing you, simply throw the harpoon at the serpent. Once the harpoon has hooked the beast, you’ll now want to turn your ship towards land.

The player that set the harpoon will want to jump on the land and pull it in. Sounds easy, right? Once the serpent is on land, it’s an easy target as a Kraken on land is about as dangerous as a lion in the middle of the ocean.

Make sure you collect the meat and the scales once you’ve defeated it. You can now even craft a Serpent Scale Shield, which is pretty damn good and also looks cool as all hell.
