Introduction
Slayer: Hey old man!
Norse father: Son, you need to start showing me some respect!
Slayer: Pff! Whatever, listen I've decided to take on your slaying record!
Norse father: ?
Hahahaha!!! Are you sure you wouldn't be more at home helping out your mother?
Slayer: Real funny dad! I'll show I'm better than you when I smash your record and slay 15 sky serpents!
Just make sure you're alive for when I get back! Later!
The Slayer runs away
Slayer: ...15 serpents! Sometimes I worry about that boy!
Levels
Incomplete section. You can help by adding missing info.
The sky serpent will attempt to throw the player off of its back before the player can stab each of its (exposed) joints and kill it. If the player is thrown off, they will take some amount of damage and be thrown back into the air for another chance at killing the sky serpent. Each serpent moves at different speeds and have all sorts of natural weapons such as spikes, fireballs, and glue. There are ways to counteract these different natural capabilities. As soon as the player learns how to counteract the serpents' weapons, it is easier to access and stab its joints. When a serpent is killed, it turns to stone and crashes to the ground.

| Slayer: I did it! I did it! I beat your record!
Norse father: Really?.....I didn't think you would be able to find so many! I thought I'd killed most of them round these parts years back! Slayer: You better believe it 15 and counting! You only managed 14 and spent your whole life doing it! Norse father: Pft!......Hahahaha! Slayer: What's so funny? Can't take seeing your record smashed by me at such a young age? Norse father: No no.....that's not bad for a young pup! But..... Slayer: But what?..... Norse father: My record isn't 14, it's 140!...Really boy if you had showed me some respect and listened to me more you would know that! Slayer: ...... Norse father: Son? Slayer: ...... Norse father: Son you ok? Not like you to be lost for words! Slayer: .......140? Norse father: You don't look too well there son Slayer: 140! Norse father: Haha well maybe you will get there!... One day! | |
Beta elements
Discovered in the files of Sky Serpents are three unused attacks: a large bubble, fire joining then exploding, and what seems to be a type of gas attack. The bubble has two corresponding sprites, which when animated give the appearance of a bubble with the below dark part rippling. This weapon may hint at an unused serpent, as a large bubble does not fit as the weapon of any other sky serpent in the game, and may point at a cut water serpent.
What is presumably a fire attack has five frames, which when animated together produce an animation of a few bits of fire forming, swirling, then expanding out and shrinking. This was likely intended as a possible beta attack for the red dragon serpent, as it fires out fireballs that also explode (somewhat).
The final presumably unused attack is a sphere of what seems to be some sort of poisonous gas.
Trivia
- Sky Serpents is likely inspired by Shadow Of The Colossus, as the player climbs onto giant creatures and strike weak spots to kill it in both games, also the only enemies in both games are the collosi and serpents, as well as the fact that both creatures spew black blood.
