Serpent Scale Shield

• 

The Serpent Scale Shield is a difficult piece of equipment to acquire in Valheim. You will need to harpoon a few Sea Serpents to make one because their scales don’t float. The serpent scale shield is a tower shield and you cannot parry with it.

However, it has a lower movement speed penalty than other tower shields. This shield fits between the Iron Tower Shield and Blackmetal Tower Shield in terms of strength.
