The Hydra is an early Hardmode Boss and is the first boss recommended to be fought before the Mech Bosses. It focuses mostly on the summoning class.

For weapon drops see Weapons and for its expert drop see Accessories It also drops Hydra Scales, a crafting material.

Spawn

The Hydra is summoned using Hydra Food. The food is crafted from 4 Souls of Light and 4 Souls of Night on a regular Anvil or fished from Rhuthinium Crates.

AI

The Hydra starts with 3 heads which will periodically attack the player using:

  1. Snorting fireballs from their nose.
  2. Releasing a purple beam of plasma.


When one of the heads is killed it will split into two and reduce the body's health by 1. Since the main body has 12 / 15HP, you must take down 12 / 15 heads.

After the Hydra is defeated, it will fly away from the player, and as soon as it despawns, it drops its items.

Tips

  • The easiest way to know what attack will occur from each head is to focus on the direction they are pointing in. If they point straight down, then they will attack using the purple beams.
  • The Shield of Cthulhu is useless, due to the fact that the Hydra's body will be near the player for the entire battle, and when you use the dash ability, it will immediately stop contact as if it was an enemy, so dashing is highly useless. However, if the player used another type of dash (Tabi or dash power), the dash would be successful.
  • Using Twin chakrams can be useful against the Hydra.
