Hydra Boss
The Hydra is the ultimate boss of the second sea. He has three phases. Hydra will spawn the next 1 hour after the 3rd Sea King (Shows on the Number above Sea king door to Chest). When it spawns, it will show a sentence: "Hydra has appeared in the sea"
Phase 1:[]
It has 1.1 M HP (down from 2M in update 5). It will dive down into the sea; making it difficult to fight against. When close, it will use a roar move similar to the dragon’s C / Sea King’s Roar, but it will drain your ken almost immediately, and deal massive damage. When afar, he will shoot aquatic spheres at you. When you’re far away from him, the chance of getting hit is pretty slim. The only part that you have to be cautious of is the roar move.
Phase 2:[]
It has 2.2M HP (down from 3 million in update 5) (hardest phase). This part is difficult, and you’re likely to die at least once unless you play extremely safe. When close, he roars, dealing more damage than his phase 1 roar. In addition, he shoots beams and several fire balls out of it’s mouth and is hard to dodge due to their incredible speed. He will also shoot consecutive fireballs while roaring; that will deal roughly 45k damage without any equipment (almost an instant-kill). The damage output is very high during phase 2 and their is little to no cooldown: making the fight very difficult.
Phase 3:[]
It has 2M HP and this is his final phase. It will spawn 2 Hydra's Minions, which take the appearance of skeletonized Sea Kings. They have 10B hp and are meant to be unkillable, so don't bother going after them.
This phase is the easiest. The Hydra’s minions’ attacks are easy to dodge and they won’t usually be able to hit you if you’re far away from them. The part that you have to be most careful of is it’s Haoshoku haki. Each time his head disappears/loses 500k hp (doesn't count the last 500k hp): Haoshoku haki will be initiated from the center of its body. If you get hit by this, it will deal roughly 20-30k damage and break all of your kenbushoku haki. If you die during this phase, there’s a chance that you wont make it to the island to get the prize, so stay away from the Hydra if you want to play safe. Each minion has 100 health to start, but if you kill them they will respawn with 10 Billion health so attempt to avoid attacking them.
