The meat floats. It's just the scales and trophy you need to be on or close to the shore to get as they sink.

The time youll ready for the mountain there it pretty easy kill drakes and mine obsidian to make frost arrows , not even need mine silver to do it first , using anti frost me/ads and youll be ready
Them make miracles blasting these alien sea creatures , and yes their meat float

Well just tried again harpoon in the trash

It's useless solo now

good job.....

Didn't know about floating meat though thx for the tips

Yeah, I kinda thought the same but was prepared to give it some time to see. I managed to drag a serpent to the shore and let a bunch of grey dwarves beat down on it but I definitely noticed the changes and wasn't exactly enthused by them.

I've seen several people saying that you can no longer get scales solo using the harpoon. Just tried it myself to see whether this was true - managed to harpoon and land 3 serpents in a row without issue. Didn't even have to lure them further in to shore before harpooning them, because although the harpoon does now drain more stamina when something is pulling against it, it also drains no stamina (and in fact lets you regen stamina) when whatever is on the end is chasing you. I had full stamina when landing 2 out of the 3 serpents and just shot them to death. The 3rd pulled against the line more and I had to use a stamina mead.

Worst thing is, we no longer have the VSP (Valheim Space Program).

Assume its why it was patched. Was a fun glitch to launch players a long and high distance,. Saw it in a video, but never got to try out. Patch said it was changed from 'rubber bandy' to 'rope like' to I'm assuming that's sadly why.

Hopefully they at least make it useful against the serpent again. Would also hope they give us the space program back to, but that's lost to time now...

Vikings were never meant to be on the moon...

I got chased to shore by one against the wind i was in panic mode, with one hit left on the boat to jumped to shore and blasted the Sea Serpent down, luckily got a trophy and some meat, sadly the scales went bye bye, anyway the Trophy now sits on my base and it looks glorious

You could drag the serpent around slowly on 1 W as thats rowing and he eventually slows down so much nearly dies nolonger fights you and drag him to shore then kill him its not an easy task but if your lucky like I was a Greyling attaked it as well. I waited till he was done nearly killing my serpent and I finished him. This way you get the meat and the scales.
If I may here's a recent screeny of the fun.
