The Elemental Cradle becomes available at team level 35 and is located in Celestial City. You will find the Castle Ruins, Merchant, Altar of the Elements, and Titan Artifacts here.
Hydra
In the Castle Ruins, you fight a mighty opponent — the Hydra.
The Hydra has five levels:
- Common Hydra.
- Elder Hydra.
- Ancient Hydra.
- Dreadful Hydra.
- Legendary Hydra.
To attack a higher-level Hydra, you must defeat the Hydra of the previous level. If you beat a Hydra of a certain level, this level stays permanently unlocked.
In addition, any Hydra has six heads: Darkness, Water, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Light. Each head is unique and requires a specific strategy to win. To learn more about each head, tap the i icon in the upper-left corner after selecting the Hydra level in the Castle Ruins.
You can fight the Hydra together with your guildmates. However, if a Guild member is fighting the Hydra head, others cannot attack it.
Note
Hydras are immune to control effects, so they cannot be stunned, thrown in the air, or charmed. They also have magical and physical protection but no energy.
If all Hydras are already defeated, you can complete quests that require battling the Hydra by giving your Horns of Summoning to Crystal Fairies. Gifting one Horn counts as one Hydra fight. You can find Crystal Fairies on the rightmost side of the Castle Ruins.
Horns of Summoning
| Horns of Summoning are required to attack a Hydra. Each Horn of Summoning grants one attack attempt. Every day at 02:00 UTC, the number of Horns of Summoning resets to three. Horns do not stack, so if you have not used a Horn, you will not get an additional one with the daily reset. |
| Golden Horns of Summoning grant one attempt to attack the Hydra even if you have spent all regular Horns. Golden Horns of Summoning can stack and do not expire. You do not lose them if you quit your Guild. You can get a Golden Horn of Summoning from a Golden Horn Box or buy it in the Titan Soul Shop for 15,000 Titan Potions. |
| Golden Horn Box grants you a Golden Horn of Summoning. Note that you can open a Golden Horn Box only if you are a member of a Guild. |
Raid
Starting with VIP level 10, you will be able to raid Hydra's heads. First, you need to fight one of Hydra's heads the usual way. Your result, i.e., damage dealt, will be saved. After this, you can spend Horns of Summoning to raid this head and deal the same damage: 1 Horn = 1 raid.
For the Raid button to appear, put a checkmark next to the Raid Damage option in the lower-right corner when assembling a team.
You can change the saved results. To do so, uncheck the Raid Damage option and fight the Hydra's head the usual way again. The game will save the new result only if it is better than the previous one.
Rewards
Depending on the Hydra's level and the number of heads defeated, each Guild member receives a letter to the in-game mail with a reward. The reward always grants Fairy Dust used to level up titan artifacts and might contain Elemental Spheres used to obtain artifact fragments at the Altar of the Elements. You can preview all possible rewards by tapping the three stripes button in the Hydra selection menu.
There are also three daily tasks, "Battle Hydra X times," for which you can get the reward.
Personal activities, including daily quests, reset at 5:00 AM your in-game time, while Hydra battles reset at 2:00 AM UTC. If your in-game time zone is different from UTC, all Hydra battles fought between 2:00 AM UTC and 5 AM of your in-game time will not be counted in today's daily quests activity. To avoid this situation, you should not attack Hydra during this time period.
Altar of the Elements
At the Altar of the Elements, you can open Elemental Spheres to get various recourses. Titan artifact fragments are the primary reward. You may also get other valuable resources: Fairy Dust, Hydra Coins for the Hydra Shop, and the grand prize — a Golden Horn Box.
