Getting There

The Alchemical Hydra's lair is in the lower level of the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon in Mount Karuulm.

The fastest way is to use the Rada's blessing 3 or 4 to teleport there by selecting the Mount Karuulm option.

Please note that the Rada's blessing 3 offers three daily teleports after completing all Hard Kourend & Kebos Diary tasks, and the Rada's blessing 4 offers unlimited teleports after completing all Elite Kourend & Kebos Diary tasks.

You can also teleport to the Farming Guild (or use the Fairy ring code "c i r", part completion of the OSRS quest Fairytale II - Cure a Queen) and run to the Karuulm Slayer Dungeon. You can use the Agility shortcuts (levels 29 and 62 required) to shorten your trip.

After entering the Dungeon, run north, climb the rocks, keep running, then turn east. Climb the rocks to reach Alchemical Hydra's lair.

You will meet the Orrvor qup Maten on your way to Alchemical Hydra's lair. He can hold your items if you die when fighting Alchemical Hydra. Pay him 100,000 gold coins to retrieve them. Please note that if you die again before retrieving your items, all items will be lost!

Fight Alchemical Hydra

Please note that you cannot leave the boss room during the fighting, but you can use the house teleport tablet. After defeating the boss, you have 20 seconds to pick up the drops, then leave the room by opening the door.

Before entering the boss room, drink your Ranging and Antidote++ potions.
