Serpent of Hell (Tartarus)

Useful Info

The Serpent of Hell is a unique dragon whose elemental affinity varies based on which branch of Hell you encounter it in. When faced in Tartarus, the Serpent is capable of breathing negative energy, vile miasma, and acid at you.

Tips & Tricks

• Visiting Tartarus without rN++ or better is just asking for aggravating and disabling levels of draining, and that applies while facing the Serpent of Hell. Even with a full three ranks however, the Serpent's Miasma blasts will still damage, poison, and slow you unless you are immune to poison or miasma. As this simply isn't available to most characters, try to take out this unique fast, and try not to stand around in miasma if you don't have to.
  • If you happen to be carrying one, a scarf of cloud immunity will render you immune to miasma.
• You'll also want rCorr here, as this version of the Serpent of Hell is one of the few sources of acid damage in the hells.

History

• In 0.16, it got a third breath attack in Corrosive Bolt.
