| Behavior: |
Hydras run when in low health. |
| Field Notes: |
Hydras are similar to dragon lords, but with weaker attacks. However, they do have more hit points and fast healing. |
| Location: |
Hydra mountain in east Tiquanda (here), one in the east of Tiquanda ground area, Forbidden Lands and in Deeper Banuta. Also on two of the Forbidden Islands: Talahu and Kharos. There are two on a hill in the east side of the Arena and Zoo Quarter.Also on the Foreigner Quarter, deep down the Crystal Lakes. |
| Strategy: |
Get a player with high hitpoints to absorb the melee, and get as many shooters (paladins or mages) as possible attacking the hydra from a diagonal direction. Hydras give great exp with a comparatively low risk of death. More attackers will help counteract the hydra's frequent healing and reduce the ammunition/rune cost of killing it.
Also a team may consist of 2 mages, one preferably a druid sioing the knight blocking to reduce health potion consumption, and both summon 2 Demon Skeletons each and Hmm, while the knight stands diagonal of the Hydra while the Summons attack. Also hunted alone by high level knights, at level 110 or more.
A team of 60 level knight and two level 40-50 mages works very good and it's low risk of waste.
At level 80 with assassin stars and 80+ distance a royal paladin can easily take hydras alone, but the spawn needs to be an open area. |
