Alchemical Hydra is an end game boss that drops the pieces to create the Brimstone ring and the Dragon hunter lance.

Requirements

Alchemical hydra requires 90 Slayer and Prestige level 1.

Recommended Prestige 5 of chosen combat style and prestige 4-5 Defence.

Getting there

Use the Portal nexus located north of spawn. Under bosses find Alchemical Hydra.
Travel fee: 100k.

Mechanics

Alchemical Hydra attacks with both Magic and Ranged attacks.

  • Magic is a spit projectile, Ranged is a Spike.
    • The first hit is random but will then switch between the two after 3 attacks.
      • After 3 attacks Hydra will use a special attack depending on the phase.

Each phase of the hydra has a special attack and to make him weaker you MUST drag him over the vents in the room starting with the South-Eastern Vent.

Phase 1 special attack is green poison. Move away from said location, 2-3 tiles is usually enough.

Phase 2 special attack is 4 lightning beams that will converge on the player. Move Hydra to the North-Eastern Vent.

  • Try to Dodge them as best you can while keeping Hydra on the North-Eastern Vent
    • They will disable your protection prayers, Hydra can hit well over 90 damage at once off-prayer.

Phase 3 Special is Fire bombs. Move Hydra to the North-Western Vent.

  • Hydra will shoot 4 fire bombs, move 4 tiles as they leave a 3x3 area of effect.

Phase 4 starts at 20% HP. This is what's known as Jad phase.

  • Hydra will now swap between Magic and Ranged every attack.
    • Can use any special's from the three phases.
  • If using executioner this phase is bsaically skipped.
