==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]] and vile [[miasma]] 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]], [[slow]], and [[rot]] you unless you have rot resistance. As this simply isn't available to most characters, try to take out this unique fast before it gets a chance to rot you much.

 **If you happen to be carrying one, a [[scarf]] of [[cloud immunity]] will render you immune to miasma.
 *You'll also want [[Acid#Corrosion Resistance|rCorr]] here, as this version of the Serpent of Hell is one of the few sources of acid damage in the hells.
