The Sea Serpent is an enemy and sub-boss in Tomb Raider Legend.

In the level England - King Arthur's Tomb? Lara finds a huge underground cave with a castle. Inside she finds the remains of the court of Camelot. Lara has to ring a bell to free King Arthur from his shell, which also awakens the Sea Serpent.

Appearance

Enormous snake-like creature with light purple and green colouring. Spike-like horns coming out of its head.

Occurrence

• Tomb Raider Legend

• England - King Arthur's Tomb?

Powers

The Sea Serpent is a powerful enemy, which can spit out some hazardous spit. If Lara happens to drop into the water, the Sea Serpent will toss her out.

Strategy

To defeat the Sea Serpent, Lara has to use the four cages in this cave after distracting it using by shooting at the bell-towers. The ringing will get the serpents attention and Lara has enough time to use the grapple to pull down the nearby cage. This has to be repeated at all four cages and the serpent will be unconscious for some time. Enough for Lara to escape into a tunnel.

Here she will come across the Sea Serpent a second time. She has to overcome the Interactive Cutscene to survive this encounter. At the end she will point her guns at the beast and it will understand that it has lost this battle.
