One of the best parts of picking the sorcerer class in Diablo 4 is the cool spells, like double Hyrda. The Hydra spell summons a multiheaded hydra that shoots fireballs out at foes, making it just as devastating as it is cool looking.

A second Hydra head would be even better. Luckily, there’s an easy way to do this.

This guide will explain how to unlock the Double Hydra, which is an almost unstoppable fireball-spitting destroyer. Hydras might be the coolest summon in Diablo 4, so players will want two to get double the cool look.

How to get a Second Hydra in Diablo 4

To summon a second Hydra, players must acquire a legendary item that grants the extra Hydra ability.

Finding such an item can be challenging and requires dedicated grinding. The most reliable method for obtaining an item with the extra Hydra ability is by participating in events that reward Murmuring Obols. These Obols can then be exchanged at a Purveyor of Curiosities Vendor, who will provide a gear piece with a random rarity.

How do I move the Extra Hydra Ability to other items in Diablo IV?

To retain the extra Hydra ability, you can extract the aspect responsible for granting it from the legendary item and imprint it onto a new item. The new item can be anything you want.

Extracting Aspect results in the destruction of the legendary item, but it empowers players to transfer the ability to a higher-level item. Placing the extracted aspect on a rare item will transform it into a legendary while applying it to an existing legendary will replace its original passive effect.

By following this approach, players can preserve the extra Hydra ability without sacrificing the item’s level. While there may be associated costs, the value of maintaining a powerful build during the leveling process is immeasurable, making the investment more than worthwhile. Armed with this knowledge, Sorcerers can confidently embrace their ideal playstyle as soon as the game is released.
