How to Get Serpent Scales

Drag Serpents to Land

1
Start by crafting an Abyssal Harpoon. This is an essential tool for dragging Serpents into land to acquire their Scales.
2 Explore Ocean biomes in search of Serpents. These Sea Monsters tend to spawn more frequently during storms or at night.
3
Once you've successfully discovered a Serpent, drop its HP to around half with Bows (Frost or Poison Arrows are recommended) and long-range melee weapons such as Spears and Atgeir
4
Equip your Abyssal Harpoon and throw it at the Serpent. Towing something continously drains stamina, so make sure you are topped off before attempting this.
5
Sail towards the nearest land mass with the Serpent in tow. You can still operate your boat as long as your Abyssal Harpoon is equipped.
6
Drag the Serpent inland and finish it off once it's a good distance away from the water.
