Battle[]
Each head uses a different type of magic attack; Worm Hydra uses no physical attacks. The party can catch Freeze and Venom from Worm Hydra's Cold Breath and Venom Breath attacks, respectively. If the player has not learned it yet, Quina can eat a Worm Hydra for the Bad Breath spell.
Strategy[]
Before fighting a Worm Hydra, it is advised to equip the Antibody and Body Temp support abilities as well as any equipment that reduces elemental damage or absorbs Lightning, Wind, or Fire to help with its remaining attacks. The Worm Hydra can then be dealt with through the use of physical attacks or Ice-elemental attacks, such as Blizzaga, Blizzaga Sword, and Shiva.
