Tips & Tricks
- The Dis iteration of the Serpent of Hell is an extremely durable monster capable of pouring out tremendous damage that ignores all resistances. Its multiple attacks per turn each hit fairly hard, but its spells are far more frightening. Metal Splinters can be gruesome for characters with low AC, Quicksilver Bolt injures you while negating any buffs you have in place, and Lehudib's Crystal Spear simply maims any character that manages to be hit by it. Summon Dragon complicates the fight with additional enemies, and Abjuration prevents you from bringing in reinforcements, but these effects are generally less of a concern than the Serpent's direct damage spells. To top it all off, all three of its attack spells are considered natural abilities, completely ignoring the effects of antimagic weapons.
- Earth Magic specialists can beat the Serpent at its own game, hammering it with their own Crystal Spears until the beast falls. Air Magic can also be very effective here, as it does not possess electricity resistance.
