Archydra

 is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma.

The Archydra is a stronger version of the Hydra, with white scales rather than black. The Archydra has higher attack and defense than the Hydra, and on death will yield some unique crafting items.

It can be encountered in the post-Dragon The Everfall in the Chamber of Hesitation, and is one of the random encounters in post-Daimon Rotunda of Dread.

The Archydra's behavior, skills and abilities mirror the hydra - it can regenerate heads, is vulnerable to fire, and can swallow opponents - bestiary knowledge for both sub-species is shared.

Tactics

 * Main article: Hydra, tactics section.

Tactics against an Archydra are very similar to those against a hydra - see Hydra tactics.


 * Upon attacking the tail a single head will be lured to engage the Arisen, making it extremely easy to kill and cut off.
