Navigating the open ocean is one of the easiest ways to get around Valheim’s expansive map. <\/p>\n

More often than not, you’ll find yourself trapped by open water when travelling on foot. If you need to get to a boss or certain biome<\/a> and try to go by land, the far-reaching ocean usually forces you to take the long way around. <\/p>\n

However, building a boat solves all of these problems. You can simply take your Raft<\/a>, Karve or Longship and sail the open seas, arriving at your destination much faster. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the ocean presents its own set of challenges, with the primary hump being getting past the nagging Sea Serpents that consistently attack your ship.<\/p>\n

To find a Sea Serpent, all you need to do is sail out into the open ocean. Staying close to the shoreline or in shallow water won’t cause any serpents to appear, so you have to head out relatively far. <\/p>\n

Once one does find you though, you need to be prepared. Before setting off on your journey, ensure that you have at least a Karve ship, the Raft<\/a> will be destroyed, a Finewood Bow or higher and an Abyssal Harpoon<\/a> if you have access to one. If not, shooting arrows at the serpent will get the job done. <\/p>\n
