Stealth and Melee Defense seem like the way to victory. Has anyone tried Etheric as their weak point yet?

Cryptodynamic 18 Oct 2011 12:54

They have high etheric defense. They were taking 1-2 damage from the attacks I tried.

Magnifico 18 Oct 2011 13:06

DoctrZombie found an interesting interaction with the shield of scales.

looks like hitting the serpent with my shield of scales serpent strike caused energy to arc back into me. I'm guessing this is due to melee damage pissing it off?

You present your shield and its scaled pattern unfolds into a writhing mass of serpents. They sink their venemous fangs into the sparking serpent for 1 damage. The serpent's energy writhes and arcs back into you.

So, for the sake of people planning on fighting these guys: The 'lunges at you like lightning' attack is stealth, and then they've also got a couple melee attacks. Judging by Al's stats, I'm guessing that 'Energy sloughs from the sparking serpent like a second skin, crawling over you and dealing 4 damage.' is etheric.

The energized serpent also has a counter-attack against melee, and I'm not sure if that's etheric or stealth.

Magnifico 18 Oct 2011 14:39

The Shark Bite technique would probably be pretty useful for this fight, if you could get it.

owwwwww. I like the design of this fight. An underwater etheric-resistant enemy that shocks you in melee. Clearly I'll have to buff to the gills before I try again tomorrow.

Greywind 20 Oct 2011 03:15

Mag's strategy is the one that has worked for me: melee, taking down the Energized Serpent first. Clashing Blow also helped, but it's an even bet whether the serpents will go for the melee or the stealth attack in the first pass.

Erenoth 21 Oct 2011 04:20

Ive been killing the rail serpents first. Also, its possible to get two steel lengths, perhaps they're dropped by the rail serpents and not the energized serpent.
