Transcendent Hydras are a group of Vex Hydras that serves Belmon, Transcendent Mind. With one such Hydra being first seen in the Glassway, accompanying Belmon after the Vex Gate made by Clovis Bray was reactivated.

Overview[edit]

The Transcendent Hydras resided within 2082 Volantis under the command of Belmon Transcendent Mind, who they followed through into a Warp Gate that led to Europa. The one who accompanied Belmon during its initial invasion was destroyed by a Fireteam of Guardians.

Gameplay[edit]

A Transcendent Hydra accompanies Belmon in the final fight of The Glassway Strike. It is much smaller than the Vex Mind, and is a Major, but still has an enormous health pool comparable to an Ultra. It is also notable for not using an Aeon Maul, but being outfitted with dual Slap Rifles that fire Arc bolts. While Belmon patrols the outer area, the Transcendent Hydra will use its smaller size to chase after the players in the enclosed sections of the area, alongside waves of other Vex. Much like Belmon, it will escape into the void when brought down a third of its hit points.

The Transcendent Hydra will return twice during the fight, first leading a wave by itself, and then accompanying Belmon again for the final wave. However, if it is dealt enough damage very quickly, it is possible to kill the Transcendent Hydra before it has time to escape, making it skip a phase. Both Belmon and the Transcendent Hydra must be destroyed to complete the battle.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Transcendent Hydra is the only Hydra to use a weapon other than the Aeon Maul.
