A massive sea serpent roughly the size of a small island, with innumerable heads; one head is significantly larger than the rest and sits central on the serpent's body, directing the movements of the other heads and, as stated by one sailor, reviving them as well. As the game's main narrative begins, Kratos has been assigned by Poseidon, god of the sea, to kill the beast, which has been challenging his sovereignty by destroying ships and killing sailors. Kratos kills it by impaling the dominant head on the mast of a ship; when the main head dies, the rest follow, bursting open in grisly fashion.
The two smaller Hydras draw their health from the big one in the middle. To get them out of the way, attack them until their energies are gone and climb up to the top of the boxes on both sides of the screen. Drop the sharp harpoons on their heads to start your battle with the bigger Hydra.
 
 
You shouldn’t have a hard time with this boss battle. The Hydra gives a lot of health and magic orbs back to you every time you make a direct hit. Use Poseidon’s Rage whenever he chomps down on the platform. You should be able to get a nice combo hit, letting him spear his head on the Mass Pole after the third time.

A massive sea serpent roughly the size of a small island, with innumerable heads; one head is significantly larger than the rest and sits central on the serpent's body, directing the movements of the other heads and, as stated by one sailor, reviving them as well. As the game's main narrative begins, Kratos has been assigned by Poseidon, god of the sea, to kill the beast, which has been challenging his sovereignty by destroying ships and killing sailors. Kratos kills it by impaling the dominant head on the mast of a ship; when the main head dies, the rest follow, bursting open in grisly fashion.
