Probably my first solo Serpent kill, I lured it to the shore, then harpooned it once I was close to save stamina, then I simply dragged it to shore so my tame wolves could rip it apart, then collected the loot afterwards. Made my first Serpent Scale Shield not long after that.

I agree with this. My first venture out to get a serpent was and remains one of the coolest things I've ever done in a videogame.
