The Giant Sea Snake is encountered at the end of the Royal Trouble quest. It is not as strong as its combat level suggests, but some form of antipoison is vital, as the snake can inflict poison that starts at 9 damage. It fights with melee up close and ranged from a distance, but it cannot detect the use of prayers. Like its offspring, it is vulnerable to Magic. It drops the heavy box which is needed to finish the quest, and it can only be fought once.

Level 40 Slayer is required to kill this creature.

The best way to defeat the snake is to attack it from afar with magic to exploit its weakness. Players can freely use Protect from Missiles to reduce all the damage besides poison. Other factors such as what food to bring and what armour and weapon to use are left to the player to decide. It is recommended to bring at least lobsters or swordfish. A dwarf multicannon can be set up nearby.

The following drop rates are provided by Jagex, unless otherwise specified.
