How to Get Twin-Snake Helmet

The Twin-Snake Helmet is a demo completion reward for Nioh 3. Read on to learn how to get it before and after the demo period ends, and see a preview of its stats and look, in-game.

How to Get the Twin-Snake Helmet

Until Feb. 15 Complete the Nioh 3 Demo until Feb. 15 to guarantee it as a reward upon purchasing and playing the full game.

If you skipped the demo and launched the game, you'll have to defeat the boss, Jakotsu-baba, to get this as a guaranteed drop.
After Feb. 15 Becomes a rare drop from Jakotsu-baba. It can be farmed by repeating the Battle Scroll mission: Crucible Manifested.

All dates listed above are for the year 2026.

Obtained by Beating the Demo Before February 15, 2026

If you successfully beat the Nioh 3 Demo before February 15, you can claim the Twin-Snake Helmet by launching the full game then praying at a Shrine. Go to Preparations > Boons to get the helmet immediately.

Guaranteed Drop from Jakotsu-baba Until February 15, 2026

Jakotsu-baba

If you launched the full game and created a save, the demo will no longer be playable. The only way to get the Twin-Snake Helmet now is to beat Jakotsu-baba during the main mission, The Hamamatsu Incident.

If you beat Jakotsu-baba before February 15, you'll get a guaranteed drop of the Twin-Snake Helmet from it.

How to Beat Jakotsu-baba

Rare Drop from Jakotsu-baba from February 16 Onwards

From February 16 onwards, the Twin-Snake Helmet will become a rare drop from Jakotsu-baba. This means that you can still get it, but it won't be a guaranteed drop after Feb. 15.

If you don't get it after beating the boss for the first time, you can re-attempt the mission by praying at a Shrine then navigating to the Battle Scroll menu. From there, repeat the mission, Crucible Manifested, to re-challenge Jakotsu-baba.
