The Alchemical Hydra is a boss version of hydra, found in the lower level of the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon in Mount Karuulm, requiring level 95 Slayer to kill. The Alchemical Hydra was the creation of a Dragonkin named Karuulm. While Karuulm saw promise in his creation, he nevertheless saw it as a failure because he could not replicate its traits, and abandoned it along with his other creations: the Wyrms, Drakes, and Hydras.

Unlike normal hydras, the Alchemical Hydra can only be killed while on a hydra Slayer task, which is only assigned by Konar. In addition, as it is only found within the volcano, players who have not completed the elite Kourend & Kebos Diary must wear boots of stone, boots of brimstone, or granite boots to protect themselves from the extreme heat of the dungeon floor. This also applies to attempting to use the Item Retrieval Service, as the rapid damage will interrupt actions and dying a second time will wipe the storage.

Along with all the unique drops obtainable from hydras, it can also drop hydra leather, which is used on the machinery south-west of the pool in the Lithkren Vault to create ferocious gloves, as well as the hydra claw, which is combined with a Zamorakian hasta to create the dragon hunter lance.

The Alchemical Hydra can be found in the lower level of the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon. Its lair is at the northern side of the dungeon, past the Tasakaal and then east past the hydras chamber. Orrvor quo Maten will be found guarding the entrance of the lair. Alternatively, with level 88 Agility the mysterious pipe shortcut just behind Kaal-Ket-Jor may be used to reach the lair safely.

Fight overview

	Alchemical Attack!
The music which plays when fighting the Alchemical Hydra.
File:Alchemical Attack!.ogg

The player fights the Hydra in an instanced room upon jumping over the rock barrier. The chamber consists of two rooms; an observation room which is safe from the Hydra, and a set of doors leading into the test chamber where the Hydra resides in. The Hydra will become aggressive and attack upon entering the test chamber, and the doors will also lock themselves. This means that the only means of escape are to either kill the boss, die, or teleportation. Players cannot log themselves out of the test chamber either.

The Alchemical Hydra has four phases throughout the fight, depending on its remaining health. It attacks with Ranged and Magic, alternating between them every three attacks for the first three phases. At the start of each phase, it has a 75% damage reduction, which can be removed if it is lured over a vent on the floor which spews chemical liquid. However, the vent must be the correct one, corresponding to the combat triangle (e.g. when it is green, red will weaken it), otherwise the Hydra's damage is increased by up to 50%.

When the Alchemical Hydra reaches or falls below 75%, 50%, and 25% of its health (that is, at 825, 550, and 275 Hitpoints), it will lose one of its heads and begin the next phase. Barring the last phase, the damage reduction is reapplied, and so it should be lured over the next vent. It also has special attacks for each phase: poison pools when green and black, electricity when blue and fire when red. These special attacks are avoidable.

In its final phase, the Hydra will alternate combat styles every attack with increased attack speed and max hit. Its first attack will always be the opposite style to what it most recently used (e.g if its last attack in phase 3 was ranged, it will start phase 4 with magic).

When the Hydra is killed, it will respawn in approximately 25 seconds, and the doors will unlock during this time.

Drops

In addition to the 100% drop, the player will also have two rolls on the Alchemical Hydra's drop table. The first drop has a chance to be a unique, while the second is always standard. The drop rates in the drop table below reflect the chance of getting an item for every roll on the standard loot table. For example, a listed drop rate of 2/100 indicates that you have two 2/100 chances of receiving that item.^[1]

Drops remain on the ground for 3 hours, or until the player leaves the instanced area.^[2]

Drop rates estimated based on 292,738 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

^ Whether a unique item is dropped is determined by the game rolling each item in succession, and if it fails, the next item is rolled. If any item is successfully rolled, it will be dropped, and if no item is rolled, it is replaced by a regular drop. The order is dragon thrownaxe, dragon knife, hydra's claw, hydra tail, hydra leather and brimstone ring piece. For example, a brimstone ring piece rate follows the formula ${\frac {1}{180\div ({\frac {1999}{2000}}\times {\frac {1999}{2000}}\times {\frac {999}{1000}}\times {\frac {511}{512}}\times {\frac {511}{512}})}}={\frac {1}{181.07}}$
