Freedom Planet[]

"Get over here you bug eyed freak!"

Serpentine is one of the most recurring Bosses in Freedom Planet, being fought a number of times varying on the chosen character: If the Player is Lilac, he will be fought 4 times; and if the Player is Carol or Milla, he will be fought 3 times.


Fortune Night Fight[]

Serpentine is the Mid-Boss of Fortune Night in Lilac's Story. In Adventure Mode, a brief cutscene will play, showing him confronting Lilac and scolding her for "walking into this conflict". After an argument between the two, the cutscene ends and the Mid-Boss Fight begins. After attacking, Serpentine will dash quickly to outflank the Player, alternating directions each time. Once he's taken enough damage, Serpentine will fall back and jump into his ship, which speeds towards Lilac, who runs away to avoid getting hit. Eventually, his ship will eventually hit a brick wall and break in two, with the lower half going through the narrow passage, while the upper half falls on top of Serpentine. In Adventure Mode, when Lilac walks back to the crashed ship, she'll say "You had it coming, Snake Man!". Shortly after the Player enters Zao's Shopping Paradise, Serpentine will break out of his damaged ship to pursue them. At the end of the Stage, he'll reappear, piloting the Robopanther and chasing Team Lilac across the Waterfront of Shang Mu.

Jade Creek Fight[]

Serpentine is also the Phase One End-Boss of Jade Creek. After Team Lilac fails to save Torque from being captured by Syntax and taken away via the Absolution, Serpentine appears behind them, itching for revenge. Before this fight, the Player can obtain a Water Shield. Serpentine's attacks are the same as they were in Fortune Night, except one of his attacks have a wider range, making it easier to avoid. Once enough hits are dealt, Serpentine will fall into the background, dropping 3 Life Petals in the process. Then he'll reappear, piloting a Gunship that can deploy Shade Troopers to attack the Team.

Attacks Details
Serpentine Shoot

Serpentine Blast Effect
Plasma Burst
Serpentine charges up his Plasma Pistol and fires 3 weak shots at the Player. These shots are easy to avoid at point-blank range and can be deflected by Milla's Barrier Shield.
Serpentine Projectile Upward

Serpentine Shield Effect

SerpRain
Plasma Storm
Serpentine will take out 2 Plasma Pistols and fires a torrent of shots into the air, which will then land near him. He will also generate a shield to protect himself from attacks while he's firing. This attack's Area-of-Effect is increased during the Boss Fight in Jade Creek, making it easier to avoid. It can also Stunlock the Player if they're careless enough to jump above Serpentine while he's firing. Milla can block the falling shots if she's carrying a Phantom Cube.
SerpFire
Flamethrower
Serpentine will launch a stream of flames up and down in the Player's direction while occasionally jumping forward.
SerpRocket2

Serpentine Missile
Wrist Missile
If enough distance is put between the Player and Serpentine, he will fire a missile that slowly traces the Player's movement and locks on to them, launching afterwards.

Final Dreadnought 2 Fight[]

Serpentine is also the End-Boss of Final Dreadnought 2, but this time, he takes the form of a cyber-mutated monster.

At the end of Final Dreadnought 2, the Player will find Serpentine, who appears to be injured. Suddenly, he mutates into a larger, more draconic version of himself, making him faster in a pinch and his attacks dangerously stronger. Before this fight, the Player can get 4 Extra Lives, and a 5th if they time a jump just before the floor gives out. Also, there is a bottomless pit, so the Player must not be reckless with Lilac's Dragon Boost. When close to being defeated, Serpentine's face will break, with one of his eyes hanging out. Once defeated, Serpentine will explode, with only a few parts of his armor left behind, ending the fight and the Stage.

During the Cast Section of the Game's End Credits, Serpentine is revealed to be alive and had turned back to normal, having been hiding inside the remains of his mutant armor. As he slithers out, he becomes distraught over the loss of his robotic arms, as well as the defeat of his master, Lord Brevon.

Attacks Details
Plasma Punch
Mutant Serpentine will charge at the Player with a plasma-charged punch, easy to avoid at point-blank range.
Plasma Shockwave
Mutant Serpentine can throw the energy from a Plasma Punch onto the ground, causing it to speed towards the Player.
Spread Burst
Mutant Serpentine can fire multiple shot simultaneously in 4 different directions, able to inflict Stunlock on the Player. Before firing, laser lights come out of his hand, hinting the direction of each shot. These shots can be deflected by Milla's Barrier Shield.
Flamethrower
Mutant Serpentine launches a stream of flames that move in a Zig-Zag pattern. The flames can be deflected by Milla's Barrier Shield.

Freedom Planet 2[]

Snowfields Fight[]

LORD BREVON COMMANDS YOUR DEATH!
- Serpentine, wanting to kill the player on Lord Brevon's behalf


Serpentine is the end-boss of Snowfields, being the final boss of the story arc: Mystery of the Frozen North!, consisting of a 2-phase Fight.

Phase 1: Serpentine[]

The 1st phase of this boss fight is roughly similar to the boss fight in the first game, only this time, most of his old moves are tweaked and improved, while his flamethrower is replaced with a new move.

Move Details
Annihilation

A new move similar to the Plasma Storm, except Serpentine hovers in the air and fires his dual Plasma Pistols straight down towards the ground, tracking the Player and tries to Stunlock them.

Lock-On Missile

Serpentine locks-on to the Player and fires a homing missile that follows them.

FP2 Serpentine Plasma Storm
Plasma Storm

Unchanged from the first game, Serpentine fires multiple plasma shot straight into the air, falling down like rain. This move can be blocked by Milla's Barrier Shield and still inflict Stunlock on the Player. Serpentine also uses this move during the climax of the Titan Armor 2.0 fight.

Rapid Plasma Burst

Improved from the Plasma Shot, Serpentine fires his Plasma Pistol in a rapid succession, able to be blocked by Milla's Barrier Shield. Serpentine also uses this move during the climax of the Titan Armor 2.0 fight.

Phase 2: Wolf Armor[]

FOOLED YOU! SURPRISE ATTACK!
- Serpentine, faking his defeat before equipping his Wolf Armor


The Wolf Armor is a mecha-suit piloted by Serpentine, serving as phase 2 of the Snowfields boss fight. As the name suggests, the Wolf Armor is a wolf-like, bipedal mecha-suit that is equipped with plasma cannons, razor-sharp claws and durable shield all built into its arms.

Titan Armor[]

Hehehaha... Hahaha! I'm invincible!!

The Titan Armor is the end-boss of Nalao Lake and Inversion Dynamo, the latter under the name of Titan Armor 2.0. The Titan Armor is a colossal, cobra-like robot built to resemble its creator and pilot Serpentine, showing the measure of his might (or the size of his ego). It is armed with arm cannons, missile launchers and a stinger-like blade on the tip of its tail.

Battlesphere Rematch[]

Serpentine, along with his Wolf Armor and Titan Armor can be fought again at The Battlesphere in the following challenges:

Trivia[]

  • During the boss fight with Mutant Serpentine, Carol cannot Kick Climb on any of the walls right before landing into the Boss arena. This is likely to ensure Carol doesn't escape the Boss Fight.
  • Mutant Serpentine shares the same Boss Fight Theme with the Absolution, except it speeds up during the climax of the fight, when he's close to being defeated.
    • Strangely, this Theme isn't part of the game's official soundtrack.
  • Mutant Serpentine shares a lot in common with Mutant Milla:
    • Both are found in Final Dreadnought, with Serpentine in Round 2 and Milla in Round 3.
    • Both act as End Stage Bosses.
    • Both undergo the same transformation process into Mutant Monsters.
    • When Serpentine takes enough damage, he lets out a faint but recognizable scream, similar to how Mutant Milla screams when she takes enough damage.
    • After 4 screams, Serpentine's face will crack, exposing what could be his membrane. This is similar to how Mutant Milla's face is destroyed when she's close to being defeated.
  • When defeated in his Wolf Armor, Serpentine launches a kamikaze attack by frantically try to slice the character before his armor explodes. It is a homage to Guardian's Knight & B3, known for their kamikaze attacks, from Thunder Force V & VI respectively.
  • The Titan Armor is one of the 3 largest bosses to be fought in Freedom Planet 2, the others being Crabulon and BFF-2000.
