Announcement
v18.3Hydra Slayer v18.3
Yet another bugfix update! Fixed the bug with help not displaying, crash when examining shadow hydras, and lacking music (due to the lack of a DLL file).
Steam
Hydra Slayer
Also known as Hydra Slayer, hs, hydra slayer
You face a 9-headed hydra. Your sword cuts 5 heads in each swipe (never less), which kills a 5-headed hydra, but a larger one will regrow 2 heads after each swipe. Your scythe cuts exactly 7, but 10 grow back if the hydra lives. Can you kill the hydra? Or better to explore to find more arms first?
