Alchemical Hydra boss.png

The Alchemical Hydra is a level 95 Slayer boss encountered in the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon. In order to fight it, players must be assigned a hydra task. While the Hydra is in the room, players cannot leave through the doors, as they are jammed when this occurs. Teleports will still work, however. The Hydra has a respawn time of 20 seconds. The hydra has four phases, each one beginning upon hitting or going past each 25% health threshold (~275 health). A head will fall off each time this occurs as the hydra roars and changes forms, signifying the start of the next phase.

The hydra attacks with both Magic and Ranged, with the left heads attacking with magic and the right with ranged. In the first two phases, this consists of two instant hits that deal less damage individually. In the last two phases, this will consist of one hit that does higher individual damage. The hydra will begin the fight with either combat style. Regardless if the hits connect or not for the first three phases and after every three auto-attacks, the hydra will sway its heads backwards as a warning indicator that it is changing combat styles. Players should be aware that the Hydra's phase transition animation can override the attack swapping animation, so counting the attacks is still beneficial.

During the first three phases, the hydra's carapace is strengthened and will immensely reduce incoming damage by 75% of what it would have dealt. This must be removed by luring it to the appropriate chemical vent. If takes chemicals from an incorrect vent, its enrage stack will go up, increasing the damage of its attacks. At the start of each phase, the hydra will perform three auto-attacks before performing a special attack.

Fight & Mechanics

A player fighting the Alchemical Hydra in its poison phase.
A player fighting the Alchemical Hydra in its lightning phase.
A player fighting the Alchemical Hydra in its flame phase.

The Fight

Hydra has four phases. This section explains how to kill it.

  1. In this phase, the hydra starts with a green carapace , and should be lured to the red chemical pool. After the first kill, the player should stand right next to the red chemical vat (to the west) so that the Hydra is automatically lured to the red chemical pool as soon as it spawns.
  2. Now with a blue carapace, the hydra should be lured to the green chemical pool. After the second kill, the player should stand right next to the green chemical vat (to the north ) so that the Hydra is automatically lured to the green chemical pool as soon as it spawns.
  3. Now with a red carapace, the hydra should be lured to the blue chemical pool. If the hydra transitions to the next phase while performing this attack, it ends abruptly. This also includes the tracking fire, but any fires started before the phase transition will still persist as usual. For the duration of the side fires, the hydra also becomes a solid NPC, meaning that it is not possible to walk under it.
  4. The final phase has no counter, and it doesn't need to be lured to any pool. In this phase, the Hydra becomes enraged and has a max hit of 55 making it capable of killing players in a single attack as it deals damage twice.

The Mechanics

Hydra attacks in phases of three, which means that you will always face three ranged attacks into three magic attacks. Therefore, it is useful to count each attack to know when to switch prayers to avoid taking damage.

  1. In the first phase after the first three attacks, Hydra will fire four poison balls. Players have to move to avoid taking massive damage. After the first special attack, it will repeat doing it after every sixth attack
  2. For the second phase, after the first three attacks Hydra will launch an electric ball in the centre of the room, which spawns four lightning strikes at the edges of the room that move towards the player. Players can dodge this by moving by the north vat and quickly moving west, which is especially useful if using ranged. Otherwise players have to run around to avoid the attacks.
  3. Throughout the phase, the hydra will occasionally walk to the centre of the chamber and become un-attackable. Upon reaching the centre, it breathes 5x5 layer of fire to the player's sides based on their location before staring down the middle and launching a tracking fire. This tracking fire follows the player's movement, and travels significantly faster the further the player is (or if they start running). Turning off run and walking in a line as the fire trails is the best course of action. Getting hit by any of the fires will result in the player taking up to 20 damage, followed by a subsequent bleed of 5 damage for five hits. It is highly advised to get Hydra onto the blue chemical pool before she walks to the center to kill her as fast as possible.
  4. For the final phase Hydra will use the similar special as in the first phase but this time will only fire one poison blob after the first three attacks. Simply dodge it by moving one step in any direction, and pray protection from ranged or magic depending on Hydra's style. Keep in mind she will keep firing one poison blob after every six attacks once it has occured once.
