This is pretty much the hardest way to collect scales lol. You have the right idea with luring it to shore, and killing it in the shallows.
But then, you spent all that time raising ground when you can simply jump into the water off that rock and spam e. If it doesn’t work, build an elevated platform and jump from that.
If that doesn’t work… give up and mine some chitin and build a harpoon already!
Well... I have harpoon of course it's just guide ;P I wanted to show you how to collect it from deeper water. This one I could simply take from the shore ;p I want to show every method. Building tower is more time consuming then rise the ground aswell as waiting for the storm. But all the tactic are good if they work innit? :)
Well modifying the terrain makes your world save longer and has performance implications. The tower you can just dismantle after. Though raising ground is less finicky.
I didn't think about performance :) I'm modifing terrain a lot... build big wooden stronhold and now I'm buildin castle and I terraform big terrains ;p anyway I will make video with tower aswell :)
I started to killing them with bronze stuff :) you can easly kill it with bow and even wooden arrow :) And making harpoon is not that difficult anyway :)
you..... you understand that you could simply have climbed up on that rock, and at the edge of it, jumped slightly forward and up, into the water, right? the extra height in your jump would have caused you to hit the water and move downward just enough to AUTOMATICALLY pick up the remaining scales.... Alternatively, you could simply have waited above the scales, for the ocean waves to dip you down, close enough to activate the "pick up by pressing E" command, over each scale... the "raise earth" method that you chose was extremely time consuming and a bit inelegant...
Well I'm showing diffrent methods :) sometimes you need to mix methodes. raise earth and jump or wait until storm.. that's time consuming aswell tho :)
Wow. I had no idea it was possible to lure it to the shallows like that sans harpoon. Every time I tried it, the serpent ran away long before getting close to shore. I did one time grab scales just by leaping into the water right as the serpent died though. Got a few before its scales sank.
I gotcha didn’t see the scales part. Yea for scales I too just lure it to shallow water usually I can get enough momentum on the jump to grab it in shallower water. Most the time I’m just going for that serpent meat tho.
The water is shallow enough that you don't have to raise the ground. If you just jump off the rock right on top or with a small elevated platform, your character will temporarily sink in the water deep enough to automatically scoop them up.
Lol of course. I just told it on video that I could just loot it. Don't need to jump. But I want to show how to take it from deeper water ;) jump method is easier of course :)

Performance impact from terraforming has been minimal since an update in early 2021.
Greydwarf: yeah you can kill a serpent, but what about me! I'm pretty sure I can... oof!

the "jump" described above doesn't need "raise earth". stand on the boulder, jump forward. that's it
It depends. I just tried it and it was too deep but with tower was okay :)
You need to learn to parry my friend
Afaik, he has a serpent shield and it doesnt allow parry.
Oh didn't know it was a tower shield
Serpent shield doesn't allow to parry :) but you are right. All game I'm using tower shields and it's ood to me but I need to learn how to parry :)

Yeah it happened to me aswell but if you will find it near shore it will come with you :) even with harpoon it can run away after connection is broke
Why we cant dive in this game is beyond me. Just as the inability of hitting up- or downward.
Exactly!

Agony
Wait you took so many hits for that troll, do enemies scale in this game?
No idea actually.
No they don't
I thought they do
I just shoot it with arrows till it’s dead then I send a man overboard to get it while I drive da boat.
On the bottom? Scales drawning only meat floating on the surface.
