The Twin Snake Helmet in Nioh 3 is part of the pre-launch rewards for players who've completed the demo for the game.

This guide explains exactly how the Twin-Snake Armor reward works and how you can claim and equip it in-game.
Best PC Settings for Nioh 3 (Optimization Guide)
Nioh 3 has performance issues that may cause the game to lag and drop fps, so here are some best pc settings to help you optimize the game.
How to Get the Twin-Snake Helmet in Nioh 3 (Demo Reward)
Players can get the Twin Snake Helmet in Nioh 3 by completing the demo before February 15, 2025. Doing this will allow you to claim the Helmet in the full retail version of the game immediately. Even if you haven't played the demo, no worries, as the Twin-Snake helmet will be a guaranteed drop if players defeat the Jakotsu-Baba Boss in the full game before the date mentioned above.
If you weren't able to beat the Jakotsu-Baba boss before February 15th, you'll still be able to get the Twin-Snake helmet, as it will be a rare drop from this boss. So, if you don't want to farm this boss multiple times for this cool-looking head armor, it's recommended to try and defeat Jakotsu-Baba before February 15th, either in the demo or the retail version of Nioh 3.
How to Claim & Equip the Twin-Snake Helmet in Nioh 3
Whether you've defeated the Jakotsu-Baba boss in the Nioh 3 demo or the full version before February 15th, you'll need to manually claim the reward in-game. To do that, simply follow the steps below:
- Interact with any of the available Shrines.
- Go to the Preparations tab in the Shrine menu.
- Click on the "Boons" option. The game will load for a bit, and you'll receive some outstanding rewards, including one rare Twin-Snake Helmet and its crafting recipe.
To equip the Twin-Snake Helmet in Nioh 3, enter the pause menu and go to the equipment tab. Here, you'll need to enter the Head Armor section and equip the Helmet. The Twin-Snake Helmet won't show up for Ninja style, and is only equippable on the Samurai style.
Make sure to switch your style by pressing "R" on the keyboard or "R2/RT" on the controller to switch styles while staying in the menu.
