Helm of the Dead Hand chathead

The Helm of the Dead Hand is a helm that provides several bonuses for players looking to train their Slayer skill. It is obtainable by killing 100 Crawling hands with a Mask of Broken Fingers, which can be won on the Squeal of Fortune. Unlike the mask, this does not provide double drops, extra damage or an XP boost, but does give access to an emote. The helm must be worn in order to perform the emote which can be accessed by right clicking the mask and selecting "Transform". It has no requirements to be worn. This item is unfortunately has the best stats in-game for people with 1 defence. Talk about an SOF causing an unfair advantage... lol

Benefits

Guaranteed task Once per day, while wearing the relevant mask, the next assignment the player receives will be crawling hands. They will still need to go to a Slayer Master that normally assigns these creatures – if they do not, the player will be told which Slayer Master assigns them, and then receive a random task as normal. This does not work if they are in the process of setting up a co-op slayer assignment, or when the slayer master is offering a special challenge.
Daily teleports Twice per day, this mask will teleport you directly to a choice of locations where crawling hands can be found.

These locations are:

Trophy drops The odds of receiving the crawling hand corpse drop is doubled.
Kill count Every creature killed is tallied, while the mask is worn. Each mask has a set amount of kills assigned to it that, once reached, "uses up" the Slayer XP and double drops effects, and turns the mask into a helm. The kill count continues to be tracked beyond this point, up to 999,999 kills.
Check kills A right-click option outputs total kills of that creature. If the helm has yet to be unlocked, there’s also a message to say how many more kills are needed to do so.
Change look The player is free to switch back to the mask version, as a cosmetic preference only – this does not restore the Slayer XP and double drop effects to the mask.
Transform When equipped, the helm allows you to perform an emote in which you transform into a crawling hand that pounds the ground.
Slayer item This mask will also act as a face mask.
