yeah the albino

it'd be pretty weird for them to leave out such an iconic monster from a fantasy game though, right...?

It's still under used in the sense it's like the rarest monster encounter, you can kill a normal hydra with a board quest though.

There were a few areas with large enough space to use them but the only ones we actually meet in the game is one controlled by Salvation at the beginning of the game and the rest are in Arena like areas such as the Encampment just after the Goblin cave, Proving Grounds in the Everfall and the Arena in BBI Rotunda of Dread.

I don't mind that they were under used as it made fighting them a rare and unique experience like fighting Grigori again.

This boss was a technical achievement and very fun/epic to fight.

Yes. And when we see the new monsters Talos, Sphinx and Gorgon, it would be very surprising if the Hydra is not back.
I can't wait to see his new design, it was already very impressive in the first game.

At the same time, I think that the developers have already shown too much (especially Talos and Sphinx).

hydra yes please

[Supreme Emperor Lord As Asriel]

Make it so heads respawn after a certain amount of time you don't kill the monster.

Also if you don't kill the monster but slice a head in half it duplicates by 2

100 HP Added to monster per hydra head added

The arch hydra fight was awesome. I loved sticking my sword through its neck and gouging the beasts head off. I bet the head regrowing animation will look really cool in this game.

The better question is, Will we still need to cross dress to talk with female bandits?

I guess we're gonna wear a fur suit when we meet up with the Beastren bandits then.

Actually, even though the hydra was.....facinating.........It really wasn't all that good. Yeah, the albino one spat acid at you, and if you got swallowed while poisoned, it was game over, but that was it. It's attacks are way too easy to dodge, so it was more a matter of blasting them into smithereens with your pawns, and if YOU were the one bringing the firepower, that was it. I expect more from Itsuno and his crew. Getting swallowed should be a genuine frustration, not something you let happen because it amuses you, before you say "okay, lets get moving". This is something you would expect from a "beastren", to be frank.

Of course, I uh, wouldn't mind if the Mimic and Hydra was brought back and not changed all that much, especially if they are even more detailed, but from a purely gameplay standpoint, the Hydra is pretty incompetent. How about an enemy that makes judicious usage of magic to befuddle you and your crew and if they swallow any member, requires taking one or more sets of actions to free them? That way, the enemy is actually hard to kill and has a way of screwing you over.
