This is the setup I'm running, working very well. 3 kill trips NP
Chemicals: Run it over its weakness ref. combat triangle
It either starts on ranged or magic, it's random as far as I can tell.
3 hits, then it does a poison AoE and changes attack styles.
Every 3 hits past that, it changes attack styles until 25% HP
50% HP it turns Red, you have to get it chemical sprayed FAST otherwise it's a fucking tank. Preempt it, and make sure blue's stuns aren't out when he phases otherwise it can fuck you here
25% HP it turns brown/black, and swaps attack styles every hit. Starting style SEEMS random, but it may be whatever the previous Hydra was on. Third hit in that phase is a poison AoE, don't fuck up your prayer flick.
Red phase spreading fire solution - best I've found is to go to the empty corner of the room, and WALK from one edge to the other while it spreads. Seems to spread slower, so by the time it's over it's kinda just neatly tucked in the corners
Start venged, first hit is 50% chance to deal. Shouldn't take any damage from the Hydra after that until brown/black phase, potentially.
Super easy boss if you pay attention, I like it. If you fuck up it hurts, if you don't it doesn't.
Idea is to let the HP go low, use brews to do mass healing during downtime IE after kill. Anglers are kinda panic food
Switch to diamonds around 40%, I think it's 1,250 hp but it may just be 1K
If you die, don't forget to wear boots on the way back. I've seen so many fucking mongoloids lose hundreds of mils worth of gear dying to the fucking DoT and just deleting their shit it's crazy how dumb people are
