With Hercules trapped, the Hydra once again licked its many chops and prepared for its final attack, gazing at his intended victim.

Closing in on Hercules, the multi-headed Hydra makes several attempts to eat Hercules again, but the young hero is able to escape their jaws until the enormous creature pinned him to a cliff with its clawed foot. Having enjoyed the taste of the hero so well that after it grew more heads, the Hydra's pursuit to have another taste of Hercules continued, thus fueling the Hydra's hunger even further. Though Hercules cut his way out from inside the Hydra, the monster grew more heads. However, before the Hydra could do anything, Hercules cuts his way out by decapitation, covered in green slime, and stands next to the headless steaming carcass. However, appearing insulted after a woman screams, the Hydra attempts to attack the crowd, obviously not being completely satisfied with its meal of just one human being. After the Hydra swallows Hercules whole, the monster lets out a huge burp and then rolling her eyes as she lasciviously licks her slimy lips with a deeply satisfied expression. When Hercules tries to hurl a boulder as a distraction for losing his sword, the Hydra laughs at the young hero's clumsy attempts at battle. Instead of lunging right at him, the Hydra was taking its time, as if it enjoyed observing the terror of the young hero before attacking relentlessly.

Her first instinct upon seeing Hercules is to bare its teeth in a rattling shriek and stomped its feet as the monster began to advance towards him. Rather than running, Hercules bravely fights the Hydra with just his sword and his wits. The Hydra is an ominous creature, dangerous and deadly enough that everyone of the crowd of Thebans seems to fear her. Of all the foes that Hercules fights over the course of his adventures, perhaps none is more frightening than the Hydra, as even famed trainer of heroes Philoctetes runs away from it.
