The serpentine helm is a degradable helmet made at level 52 Crafting by using a chisel on a serpentine visage, giving the player 120 Crafting experience. The helmet requires 75 Defence to wear. It has the fourth highest strength bonus of all helmets tied with the Statius's Full Helm (t4) and Supreme Helm.

If a player dies with the helmet in PvP and it is not protected, any scales that were used to charge it will appear on the floor along with the uncharged helmet.

In addition, players can dismantle an uncharged helm to receive 20,000 Zulrah's scales.

Passive effects

The serpentine helm provides two passive effects:

  • When charged and equipped, the helmet grants immunity to venom and poison.
  • The opponent has a chance to be inflicted with venom for every successful hit the player does, provided that they are not immune to it. This effect only applies to monsters and does not work on other players.

The chances of inflicting venom when the player lands a successful hit on a monster with the helmet equipped are as follows:

Charging

The helmet is charged with Zulrah's scales, it can be charged with an unlimited amount of scales. It cannot be equipped if it is uncharged, except when it's fully degraded while equipped. In its uncharged form it retains the negative bonuses, but loses all positive bonuses and passive effects. Similar to barrows armour, the helmet will immediately use 10 scales when the player enters combat and will use another 10 if the player is still in combat after 90 ticks (54 seconds) have passed.

When uncharging, players will retrieve all the unused scales that were stored in the helm back to their inventory.

Recolouring

The player can use mutagens dropped by Zulrah to recolour the serpentine helm into one of its two colour variants: using a magma mutagen creates a magma helm, and using a tanzanite mutagen creates a tanzanite helm. These variants do not apply any stat changes and are purely cosmetic. The only way to obtain the recoloured helmets is by killing Zulrah itself, as the mutagens or recoloured helmets cannot be traded.
