Hi everyone! Today we're again in Final Fantasy XI, this time in Abyssea - Grauberg
The boss we're fighting today is a Hydra, Hydra was added in the Third Addon Treasure of Aht Urghan
It's a boss from the 2nd Last Tier NM, it drops AF3+1 Body
And we just got the Yellow Trigger, at least this time it didn't take too long
As i said earlier, It drop AF3+1, it's not an NM from the last Tier, there's one more Hydra to fight
I'll try to upload the video soon, he drop AF3+2 Body
The boss itself isn't hard, what's hard is to get the Items needed to make him pop
Except if you buy them at the Action House, but like for Amarok, these Items cost lot of money
We're currently looking for the Red Trigger that should increase the drop rate of the Key items for the next Hydra that drop AF3+2
Like someone said in the comment of the Amarok Video, it only increase drop rate to 95%
so you always have a small chance of not dropping the Key items that allow you to pop the next NM
It'll also give you his Atma, Atma of the Entwined Serpents, it increase a little Attack
And it also increase a lot the rate of Double Attack
The NM pop between I-7 and I-8, using 2 items from 2 NM that you need to fight in order to get them
You'll also need a HQ Wivre Hide, it's next to the Conflux 8
So about this Boss, it's not really hard, apparently it can even be done in solo
We're an alliance here because it was a Linkshell run like always, but it can be solo by a few job
But it's probably better to do it in duo because it'll be easier and it's also easier to get Trigger
And increasing the drop rate of the items he's dropping
About the boss ability, like every Hydra, it has Physical Shield and Magic Shield
In this case, Polar Bulwark is the Magic Shield
Pyric Bulwark is the Physical Shield, so of course when he's in Physical Shield, we can't use melee attack on him
And when he has Magical Shield, you can't use any magic on him
Something important to know is that he can't use Magic, so that's really great
He'll resist a lot to Elegy and Stun ... and we just found the Red Trigger!
So as i said, he'll resist a lot to elegy and stun, because he has lot of resist of Earth and thunder
But he's also weak to Fire and Ice, so it's better to use this kind of magic
About his attack, he has mostly only AoE
The first one is called Trembling, it'll do damage and also dispel Buffs
It can be absorbed by 1~3 Utsusemi's Shadow, another one is Barofield
It's also an AoE that does damage but this time it'll have an Aditional effect of Gravity
It prevent you from running
And his last and very powerful attack is called Serpentine Tail
It's a Powerful attack, but Single target this time
It can be absorbed by Utsuemi also between 1 and 3 shadow, he can use it anytime he want
Usualy for Hydra to use this attack, you must be behind him, but this time he can use it even if you're in front of him
This is pretty much everything about this boss, can i really advise you to fight this one
Not really because even though he's easy, the items required to pop him are really not easy to get
Or cost lot of money, so it's probably better to fight mob like VNM
I hope you liked this video, if you want to see more video you can subscribe to my youtube channel, i try to add some Weekly
