Serpent: Effects & Location
【Serpent】
Automatically performs Counters, but reduces maximum Sanity and slows Sanity recovery.
From Draw Omamori
When Serpent Is Most Useful
Triggers a Counter Automatically When the Sign Appears
Very convenient. Even without Focus, if the Counter sign effect appears for even a brief moment, the Counter will auto-activate.
However, the Sanity Cap reduction from automatic activation is fairly high. It reduces more than a Focus Attack does, so without item support or some other form of mitigation, managing it becomes difficult.
Recommended Omamori Combinations
Hound / Dolphin / Willow
【Hound】Location: Treasure Hall
Slightly restores maximum Sanity when defeating enemies.
No Map Image
【Dolphin】
Slightly restores maximum Sanity when performing a Perfect Dodge.
From Draw Omamori
【Willow】
Boosts the effectiveness of items and Omamori that restore Sanity.
From Draw Omamori
If you plan to restore your Sanity Cap with items, you can skip this Omamori — but if you want to conserve items, you will pretty much need to run the three Omamori above to keep things manageable.
