Head of the Snake is a Side Quest in Diablo 4. Head of the Snake can be found in the Iron Wolves Encampment, at the Ragged Coastline in Kehjistan. Side Quests are optional missions that players can complete in order to obtain different rewards. Players are usually rewarded XP, and Gold depending on their level.

Head of the Snake Walkthrough
After completing the Side Quest More Value than Gold, this Quest will automatically be activated and your objective will be highlighted accordingly. In case you left this next Quest for later, your objective will be in the Iron Wolves Encampment, in the northeast area of the Ragged Coastline. Teleport to the Waypoint in the encampment if you've activated it already.
- Speak with Haddad in Dahlgur
Head to the quartermaster Haddad in the southeast area of the encampment. Ask him, You captured a bandit?" It seems they interrogated someone about the whereabouts of the Triune.
- Interrogate the bandit
Try your hand at getting answers out of the Bonesnapper. Approach him and ask, "How do the Triune enter the hideout?" It seems you'll need a special medallion to fool them into believing you're part of the cult.
- Speak with Asa
Luckily, Asa seems to have one such medallion. Talk to her and say, "That medallion could be the key." It seems Asa and Dawood are resolved to try and use this rare opportunity to attack as opposed to being attacked again.
- Speak with Asa near Uldur's Cave
Your next objective will be far to the southwest, at the Scorched Gulch, still in the Ragged Coastline. If you haven't already, make sure you activate the Waypoint here in the encampment before you go. Place an objective marker on the map for the fastest path there. You'll find Asa there with some dead bandits. Talk to her and ask, "Did you run into trouble?" It seems we'll be in for some bandit attacks while we look for the Triune hideout.
- Find the pillar
The area you'll have to search will be indicated by a large blue circle to the east. The pillar you're looking for will be in the northeast area of the circle.
- Find the hideout's entrance
To the lower left of the pillar should be a piece of wall that's a shade darker than the rest of the rock formation. If you look closely there's actually a slot for the medallion on it. Interact with it to place the medallion.
- Enter the Triune's Hideout
You'll have to enter the Triune's Hideout, which is a Cellar in the game. You can find the Cellar on our Interactive Map here: [Diablo 4 Map Link].
- Slay the Triune Cultists
Move forward along the singular path into a large chamber to find the cultists. The minor Enemies shouldn't be too much of a problem. However, there will be two Elites to beat here. The Demoncaller will have a singular random Affix, while the leader of the pack, the Hegemon, will have the Summoner and Suppressor Affixes. The Demoncaller has a smaller Life pool so focus on him first, but be sure to take care of the demons and cultists the Hegemon summons as they appear so you don't get overrun. The three of you should be able to deal with the Hegemon when she's alone, without any issues.
- Check on Dawood
Something seems to be wrong with Dawood. Approach him and ask, "Dawood, what happened? Are you wounded?" At least, it doesn't seem to be lethal. They'll move to the encampment ahead of you for now. This will complete the quest.
