Hi! The hydra bug has been reported multiple times by many people. I've even documented it myself with a video and a Captain's Log file internally! The best I can say is that it's a slippery bug, we're aware of it, and hopefully we can get it fixed in one of our upcoming updates.

Thanks for your report.

my buccaneer also had a problem with him. a hydra head appeared on my friend who was helping me and he cant hit himself so he was stuck until the battle ended

If you defeat the hydra's Ebon head with a DOT (damage over time) attack while it is still submerged, Ebon will never resurface, so you cannot win the battle. This is a previously reported bug. I have not seen this happen for about 6 months, but could that have happened to you, Sir That Guy? Did you have a Poison, Backstab or Mournsong DOT debuff on Ebon when he disappeared the second time?

to be honest, this has happened to me as well, BUT there is a way around this glitch, when it happens and ebon is no where to be seen, that usually means it accidentally spawned ON TOP of one of its other heads, just keep clearing heads until the ebon head shows. it worked for me, at least
