Hydra scale.

[Vobent]

Anyone know the .dat for Hydra? I don't have the .lst for for my modelveiwer..didn't update before they shutdown ;_;

And neither did they.

Go file>rom path (I think it's that, I can't load it up to be certain or windower will crash lol) and change the rom path from 3 to 4. You'll be able to view ToAU stuff instead of CoP stuff, just change it back when you wanna view CoP stuff.

Didn't work for me ; ;

ohh cool thanks

I wonder if the head killing will relate back to Mythology at all. In Roman Mythology Hercules had to perform tasks to satisfy the gods for his insanity and killing his wife/children. One of these tasks, was to kill the Hydra. He had someone help him though. What he did was he'd cut off the heads and the person helping him would use a burning stake to singe the skin so that it couldn't grow back. I wonder if SE will be creative with this. Possibly a fire spell to seal the defeated head to ensure it doesn't grow back? That'd be very kewl.

One problem, in Mythology one Hydra head was invincible and the last head was stuffed under a huge rock so he couldn't move. Hydra really was never defeated, will the FFXI Hydra ever be defeated?

I'm sure he'll respawn in 3-7 days if you successfully 'defeat' him.

I was suggesting that perhaps he's invincible and can't ever really be killed and you just kill heads repeatedly. Or something to that effect.

Knowing SE, they'll take this oppoutunity to screw melees over even more.

"The new hydra monster will use the Paladin two hour "Invincable" Whenever it attains 2% TP. In additian, the hydra will gain TP as if it were taking damage."

Found it roaming around in Batallia Downs....

holy shit

[darkdeath]

that thing is fucking HUGE ;O

[Hirronimus]

Wow! It's pretty big.

[DeadLegend]

Having its tummy so low to the ground makes it seem a little smaller than it is I think. I can walk right under Nidhogg in a wizard's petasos and the point of it won't scrape his belly(small size mithra). This monster is certainly wide though, and covers quite a distance from head to tail o.o, but maybe that first scale shot had Cerberus mis-sized I can mostly disappear into one of Cerb's feet. I wonder if my playstation will even be able to display this whole monster.

[Zalius]

The answer is obviously to datswap cerberus or nidhogg with a different mob and pull them both

Christ, that thing is borderline too big... wonder what kind of area SE would put something that size in.

[Zalius]

I now officially 100% believe that's gonna be the final challenge for the colesseum/pit. It's the empress's pet for sure.

Actually, I wouldn't doubt it.

...or the empress herself... oh shit, did I just spoil the storyline?

[Syncere]

As a Taru PLD.... how in the hell am I suppose to tank that thing; ; Its much worse then a Dhalmal -.-

[darkdeath]

doubt it is the empress. I;d go with empress pet

[Leashedragon]

You know... with all this "scale model" going on I never thought to dat swap it in game.

Holy fuck is that huge. Seeing it in model viewer against a monocolored background and seeing it actually in game makes a huge difference.

I should dat swap my wyvern for him just for fun kinda like that one of Vrtra against Hydra.

[Rag]

Switch it dat with chocobo and ride it

[Tyrath]

Switch it dat with chocobo and ride it

Controlling that thing should be good ;o

Edit: Riding a hydra makes you get stuck when you try to dismount ;x
