Where to catch the Hydra

The Hydra lives in Ancient Ruins (zone 12 of 17), on the far edge of the zone. It is number 4 of 4 in the Ancient Ruins index – the very top. A full-strength throw needs roughly 2,450 – 2,800 Throw Power to land in Ancient Ruins.

Foods that land here: Lava Steak ($120Qi), Elder Strawberry (700 Qi). A higher-tier food pushes the roll toward the rarer end of the Ancient Ruins list, so the newest food you own is always the best bait.

Plain throws rarely produce the top animal of a zone. Use the best food you can afford, land the throw on the far edge of Ancient Ruins, and save lucky throws for it. Already past Ancient Ruins? Lower throw strength with the gear icon so the food lands here again.

Is it worth keeping?

  • Keep it longer only if it rolled a strong mutation or size (see the table below) or you need it for the index.
