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 Gehenna, the Serpent is capable of breathing great gouts of fire and hellfire, and is completely immune to both.

Tips & Tricks

• Preparations for Gehenna largely render you ready for handling this iteration of the Serpent of Hell; while you'll always be susceptible to its Hellfire attacks, two or three ranks of fire resistance render its Fire Breath much less devastating. If you don't have that degree of fire resistance already, however, expect to take massive damage.
