Walkthrough

Mount up and use your Lasso special action skill to lasso the beast. You will typically need 3-5 players in order to successfully stop the Hydra, as it will have the Swift Flight effect, making it far too quick to catch otherwise. Once it's been successfully lassoed, damage it until it runs again. Repeat as needed.
