Location

Sea Serpent Area.

Strategy

For all vocations: Their wave attacks cover more area than other monsters wave attacks so is harder avoid, still standing diagonally is your best option, even walking slowly.
You can remove the helmet of the deep and put again to cancel the drowning bomb, this will save you around 100 hp.
Also: You need to go up and down alot to hunt them so levitate spell is a must or bring Ice Cubes or Pots (monsters don't push them) and you can use them to use Ledgehopping to minimise the damage that you can take.
If you loot a Glacier Amulet, wear it, and try to remove it when it has around 10 charges (Rashid will pay 1500gp for it) and the amulet would have save you around 12000hp (depending of your vocation is around 1.2k to 6k in potions).
Mages: With level 90 and higher use Energy/Death/Earth Strike combined with an underworld rod. With lvl 60+ you can easy kill them with mana shield and sudden death runes. Explosion runes are also good.
Paladins: You need good skills to solo them (around 80/70 skills), they are weak to melee so Ethereal Spear can do more damage than Divine Missile. Lower level paladins should have a blocker.
Knights: Lure single Sea Serpents and fight them with Exori and Exori Gran. Heal early with Strong Health Potions or better.
