The Linchpin Hydra is a powerful Hydra of the Nessian Schism encountered on Kepler.

Gameplay[edit]

The Linchpin Hydra appears halfway through the Mission Commencement, blocking the path for the player's progression by locking a door in the Aionian Campus alongside a contingent of Vex. It will float in the middle of the room most of the time, attacking with its Aeon Maul and stomping the ground when approached, and occasionally teleport to a different spot for a brief moment. After it reaches half health, the Hydra will gain an Immunity Shield and summon more reinforcements, including Coryphaeus Minotaurs empowered with Gravity Banes. The player must use Matterspark to overcharge the vex pylons nearby, exposing confluxes that, once destroyed, will turn the Hydra vulnerable again. From here on, the Linchpin Hydra will fight until it is destroyed.
