The Winged Serpent Helm is a unique headgear in Elden Ring introduced with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Worn by Kood, the leader of Fire Knights, devoted to Messmer, this helm enhances all the fire skills related to the Knights of Fire.
In this guide, we will tell you how to acquire the Winged Serpent Helm in Elden Ring and how you can use it effectively to make your Spear of the Impaler build even more powerful.
Winged Serpent Helm Location in Elden Ring

The Winged Serpent Helm can be obtained by killing the Fire Knight present before the door of the area leading to Messmer in Shadow Keep Castle.

This is the sixth floor of Shadow Keep and can be accessed via the Seventh Floor Specimen Storehouse site of grace.

Start from the site of grace and go outside the room. Cross the bridge, and you will encounter a Fire Knight standing to the left. Kill the enemy and drop down to the fifth floor. Go to the left end and pull the lever to rotate the statues.

Go back to the right side and use the beam to get to the statues. Reach the balcony with the help of the statues, and go outside. On the outside, turn right and climb the stairs to reach the Sixth Floor of the Shadow Keep.

Turn left to locate the strongest Fire Knight, guarding the entrance to Messmer, the Impaler’s room. This will be a very difficult fight as this enemy uses an extended fire spear attack from afar.

Use ice-based weapons or apply frost to the Backhand Blade to defeat the Fire Knight. Upon defeat, she will drop the Winged Serpent Helm in addition to Ash of War: Flame Spear in Elden Ring.
