The world serpent stays asleep in the lake of nine, and youll need to work a bit to spot him. For the best viewing angle, position yourself near tyr's temple facing north where the giant snake normally coils - his massive form is still visible beneath the water's surface even while dormant. During certain times of day, specifically dawn and dusk, the lighting makes it easier to see his outline through the waves, though you cant actually interact with him. Really important to note that this version is the original older jormungandr, not the younger one that got sent back in time during that intense fight with thor.

The serpent's breathing pattern creates subtle ripples in the water that you can track from the shoreline, and sometimes youll catch glimpses of his scales breaking the surface. If you're hoping to confirm he's actually there, try talking to freya near the temple - she'll give you some dialogue about his current state, though don't expect any big cutscenes or combat encounters since he's pretty much settled into his endless nap at this point. Maybe interesting that this ties directly into that whole time loop thing, with the younger version we helped in ironwood becoming the one we met at the start.
