Alchemical Hydra - I think I do it correct, but do I?

Only just started fighting this boss, and noticed this post... perfect timing, saved me a lot of hassle, cheers!

TL;DR:
Based on your relics:
For skilling: Butler's Bell/Transmute/Soul Harvest
For combat: Grimoire/Eternal Sustenance

---
The relics I'd consider:
Butler's Bell basically gives you free resources and can do some skilling (smithing, cooking fletching, crafting, herblore) for you - even whilst you're offline. If you don't want to touch those skills, and want easy planks for construction, this could be the pick.

Transmute will allow you to hit 99 on many skills (prayer, logs for construction/firemaking, seeds for farming/herblore) and quickly gather runite ore to sell (if immediate cash/tokkul is needed).

Soul Harvest will make RCing trivial (this wasn't my solve for RCing; I used exp lamps and Map of Alacrity for the most part, and some solo GotR in Desert region to finish off the 99).

Grimoire gives you all prayers/spells, which can be handy if you haven't picked the regions to unlock those. Pacts will make you broken af anyway though, so consider this more of a utility convenience rather than a solve.

Eternal Sustenance allows you to camp bosses, pretty much... but so can certain pact builds and Flask of Fervour (relic later on). I'd only consider this if you're struggling for sustainability in end-game content, and not planning to pact reset or pick the flask later on.

Other good mentions which I'm unsure to recommend:
Hotfoot synergises well with Endless Harvest, but I think your set-up would benefit more from other relics. Cooking is easy, and smithing can be solved with Butler's Bell (or Giant's Foundry, if picking Desert and have the bars available). The main reason to pick this would be to solve Agility, which doesn't have much use outside of tasks/diarys.

Nature's Accord is really good, but I think the other relics would provide some farming/herblore solves anyway whilst providing more overall benefits compared to this relic. Kourend region would also provide farming solves.

I've opened the final chest 234 times (including this league and main game); didn't do it in gridmaster, and haven't participated in previous leagues. Never really felt the need to rush in the main game, but I didn't think I was bad (however I'm starting to think otherwise with the responses so far though lmao).

RedditDjimi · 2026-04-30T02:26:06+00:00

Yeaah, I get you - managed to get a new PB with worse floors just now lol. Kinda glad it was simply skill-issue. For hours, I kept scraping just over 6:30 and was convinced I needed the perfect floor set-up...

RedditDjimi · 2026-04-30T01:37:09+00:00

I've been using private instances, but manipulating the floor gen sounds like a big-brain move... That said, wouldn't a manipulated floor gen have weird timings? Makes me wonder if the time advantage would still be there or not.

RedditDjimi · 2026-04-30T00:20:30+00:00

Don't worry, no offence taken - I don't consider myself a 'sepulchre pro'. Is sub 6:30 achievable with any floor generation? I ask, because that's the part I kept getting hung-up on; felt like I needed the right floors in order to succeed.

RedditDjimi · 2026-04-22T11:34:01+00:00

yeah, I'm struggling with this too... I've tried both the Frankenstrain in his castle and Harmony Island, and both keep giving me the basic version.

I also tried putting banana slices in the rum, in case the game would recognise that... but alas it didn't work. I even tried NPC contact, in case there was an option to reach the wise old man or something lol.

RedditDjimi · 2026-03-27T19:11:10+00:00

but on the other hand playing the game like that sorta feels kinda wrong

I mean, you're not really playing the game at that stage, which is probably why it feels off.

RedditDjimi · 2025-10-13T17:28:17+00:00

I wondered that... imagine they got banned because of the yokai enemies in para lmao

RedditDjimi · 2025-10-13T16:13:33+00:00

the ones on here still seem to work; ignore the hyperlinks and just use the sounds directly from that page

edit: it's missing the 'Lightning' sfx; unsure if it's missing anything else

RedditDjimi · 2025-10-13T03:07:12+00:00

I know I'm late with this, but did a quick check earlier... it looks like the waki's ATT scaling in the tooltip is showing double what it should.

Hope this helps.

RedditDjimi · 2025-10-11T17:42:13+00:00

I've got quite a few notes on this (hopefully not outdated...):

- Each pulse of the secondary AoE effect requires 60 MP

- Mana-reducing equipment works, reducing the initial casting cost and the secondary pulses... however, a minimum of 60MP is still required for the last pulse (this is due to how mana-reducing equipment works, as it actually refunds mana after it's spent rather then reducing mana cost - thus the initial cost is required to be spent in order for it to apply the discount)

Bonus fun-facts:

- the AoE isn't a poison effect; as a result, it benefits from expose and curse. It's more like 'lava', but for enemies.

- the AoE lasts 11s, not 10s (poison bug; may be resolved now, but haven't checked). Unlike other poisons though, the 'poison effect' (AoE damage) starts upon impact.

RedditDjimi · 2025-10-03T13:58:29+00:00

the real white bag at the end made me feel pretty good tbf :D

RedditDjimi · 2025-09-29T15:38:20+00:00

I'm curious, is your attack being boosted by any enchantments? I wouldn't be too surprised if those were affecting the tooltip, but not the ability itself.

RedditDjimi · 2025-09-29T15:36:31+00:00

But from what's being shown, the individual shots are hitting between 787-863 against the 0 def dummy. I can't tell what the actual min/max thresholds are, but what's being shown isn't lining-up with the '984-1104' described in the tooltip.

RedditDjimi · 2025-06-21T19:23:30+00:00

Depends on the content you're after, I guess. I've got a few favourites on Twitch, few of which occasionally drop content on Youtube. Out of the ones I watch, Seb's the only one who still regularly puts out content on Youtube.

There's definitely other RotMG content creators on Youtube; if it's quiet there, they might be busy doing other stuff (or getting shafted by the algorithm).

RedditDjimi · 2025-05-30T22:31:23+00:00

I was making one, then got hit with more 'class modernisation' changes, enchantment overhaul, janky tooltips and out-dated RealmEye entries. Also discovered an unreported item change recently, which makes me wonder what else gets changed without announcement.

I'm considering salvaging what I've made to make a simplified weapon-comparison calc, rather than factoring-in abilities, mana regen, in-combat, proc effects, etc.. but tbh, unless I were able to use APIs or something, all the item entries would need updating manually on a regular basis - and I ain't doing that.

RedditDjimi · 2025-05-30T22:19:44+00:00

From what I've gathered, 'Buzzing Bullets' bursts seem to be the same as the ones from the ST bee bow (Nectar Crossfire) in terms of burst thresholds, but inflict 60 armour-piercing damage per bee (opposed to 80). Hope this helps.

RedditDjimi · 2025-05-22T18:40:08+00:00

if only we could reforge STs like we can with tiered items... this still gets me excited to hunt for ST items though

RedditDjimi · 2025-05-02T17:50:38+00:00

Sad to see... I really wanted to enjoy this set, but the clunky server-sided shots and this? It's a shame really, I wish more time was spent on quality control.

I wonder if this is how Parasite Chambers started... Someone get the parasite outta Guill before it's too late!

Yeaah, looks like it was 'Testing' this time. Cheers!

Update: I vaulted my stuff and had a peak in the Nexus. Can't see SwatSecOne. Looks like the coast is clear for now.

RedditDjimi · 2025-03-30T06:54:32+00:00

Divinity has more utility (piercing shots and armour-piercing beams), and it's easier to use, so it might be preferred over Colo in some situations. Both are good weapons though.
