Page 1: Observations

Being an undead, kept in this world by sheer force of will long after its body has surrendered to corruption.
While the decay of its eyes has left it blind, it senses the energy of the living and strikes with deadly accuracy.
Though it cannot be known when the creature last breathed, from the state of its yellowed bones, one can only imagine that it has walked in unlife for several thousands of years.

Battle

This can be a difficult battle because Hydro will constantly inflict Fear, which causes the party to lose massive amounts of MP. Hydro usually picks one character off until they die. He moves slowly. As Hydro is an undead enemy it is weak to healing magic.

Strategy

The party should dispel his Haste and then into Quickenings. It is good to have a supply of Phoenix Downs.

Hydro usually picks one character off until they die and as he moves slowly the player can use this for advantage by equipping a bait with a gun and have him become his target, then run around keeping Hydro distracted.

Another strategy is to cast Reflect on the party, then cast their strongest healing spells and reflect them off the characters to hit Hydro.

This battle can be made easier by giving someone the Holy Lance and inflicting Berserk on them.
