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 an [[antipoison potion]], preferably [[super antipoison|super]], is vital, as the snake is poisonous with damage starts in the nineties. It fights with [[Melee]] up close and [[Ranged]] from a distance, but it cannot detect [[Prayer]]. Thus, a player using protection prayers and antipoison can effectively avoid all damage.

Level 40 {{Skill clickpic|Slayer}} [[Slayer]] is required to do the quest, and many players assume this applies to fighting the giant sea snake. However, several people have reported being able to fight it with a much lower slayer level. It was not listed in Jagex's Knowledge Base as a slayer creature requiring a slayer level to fight.

The best way to defeat the snake is to attack it up close with melee, using a slashing weapon such as an [[abyssal whip]], as it is extremely vulnerable to slash attacks. This way, it will not use its ranged attack, so players can freely use [[Protect from Melee]] to avoid getting hurt. Other factors such as what food to bring and what armour and weapon to use are left to the player's decision. It is recommended to bring at least [[lobster]]s or [[swordfish]].
