Special Events Sethrakul, the sea serpent

The fight

Attacks threaten hull, sails and crew. The table gives the standard warning time; repositioning can delay an attack's landing. Read the marks on the water and keep enough speed to leave them.

Attack	Wind-up	Warning	Response
Tail Lash	2.6 s	A 120° tail sweep reaching 85 m.	Steer out of the marked sector.
Breaching Ram	3.6 s	An 18 m-wide charge lane.	Turn across its edge; the charge continues for 4.4 seconds.
Rising Maw	3.2 s	A 20 m-radius eruption beneath the targeted ship.	Sail out of the circle.
Venom Spit	2.6 s	A 13 m-radius impact that leaves venom for 9 seconds.	Keep moving after the initial hit.
Constrict	4.8 s	From 66% health. A 36 m ring closes around a ship; allies have 24 seconds to break the coil with ship fire. Success stuns Sethrakul for 9 seconds.	Use ship fire to break the coil within 24 seconds.
Abyssal Roar	2.8 s	From 33% health. A broad danger ring from 22 to 120 m. It is especially damaging to sails.	Move inside its inner edge or outside its outer edge.
Satakal's Call	2.6 s	Marks the transition into the Coil phase. A warning call rather than a direct damage hit.	—
The Maelstrom	5 s	At 33% health, creates a whirlpool with a 40 m eye.	Stay clear of the vortex; the eye still damages the hull.

Use Naval combat — Firing and ammunition to break a constricted ally free. Constrict begins in the Coil phase at 66% health; the Maelstrom phase begins at 33%.
