Nere's Head

Nere's Head is a Story Item which can be obtained during the quest ⁠Deliver Nere's Head.

Prideful as he was in life, Nere is just like anybody else in death - mouth slack, eyes bulging, and flesh that is slowly starting to rot.

Notes

• Nere's Head is a quest item, required to complete ⁠Deliver Nere's Head.
  • The head can only be looted from  Nere's corpse if the quest is active and it has not previously been destroyed.
  • It is possible to kill Nere, loot his corpse, acquire the quest, and then return to collect his head.
    • The party may also carry Nere's corpse to the quest giver and loot his head from inventory.
  • If Nere's head is destroyed, the quest fails.
• Nere's head is destroyed if he burns to ash in  Lava.
  • He can be killed while in lava, or even by it without necessarily burning to ash. For details, see Lava#Notes.
  • As a rule, any creature killed by fire damage burns to ash; counterintuitively, lava can form an exception, see Lava#Notes.
  • If Nere burns to ash from a source that is not lava, he is rendered unavailable for  Speak with Dead, but his head remains intact.
• Obtaining Nere's head grants the ⁠Head of the Snake inspiration to party members with the  Haunted One background.
• After delivering Nere's Head, it is transformed into:  Blooming Drow Head
