Defeat the hydra | Monk Planet Samorost 3 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

After you enter the cave, you will have to climb up a tall ladder, into the tower.

Your main task, at this stage into the game, is to obtain the magic stone owned by a depraved monk. To obtain the stone, you will have to convince the monk to leave the tower. Note the objects circled in the above screenshot. You can find the monk on the top level of the tower. Below, there is a distillation machine and, at the level at which you are, there is a furnace.

Your current task is to distill alcohol. To do this, throw the droppings from the trashcan shown in the above screenshot into the furnace. First, left-click on the trashcan. As a result, your character will pick it up and heave over the shoulder. Approach the furnace and left-click on the grate shown in the above screenshot.

After you throw the waste into the furnace, move the pointer onto the bellows handle circled in the above screenshot. Hold down the LMB on the bellows and start moving the mouse up and down. Keep doing that until the kettle by the distilling machine starts to boil.

After that, you will witness the depraved monk approach the machine and empty the jar. Drinking the alcohol stimulates the monk and he starts to pace around on the rooftop.

A single dose of alcohol is too little, though, to get rid of him. Grab the trashcan and climb down the ladder, to the heap of droppings at the foot of the mountains. Once you climb down onto the ledge, left-click on the animal to make it bring you down.

Approach the heap of droppings and left-click on it. As a result, your character will fill the trashcan. With the trashcan full, return to the animal that will give you a boost up.

Note: In this spot, a glitch may activate. As a result of that, the trashcan will disappear from the shoulder of your character, after you stand on the ledge. If this happens, you have to climb into the tower again and climb back down. After you leave the building, you will find the trashcan by the heap of droppings.

After you return to the tower with the trashcan, repeat the distillation process. After another jar of alcohol, the depraved monk will hop onto a metal hydra and will start to circle around the isle.

Note: In some cases, the monk leaves the tower only after he has had three jars of alcohol.

If you have already gotten rid of the monk, you can safely climb to the top level of the tower and collect the magic stone (circled in the screenshot). Left-click on the dome that has been covering it. As a result, your character will collect the stone and store it in the inventory.

Exit through the main exit. The spot in which the pointer turns into an arrow has been circled in the screenshot. After you leave the tower, go to the ship.

Start the ship and fly over to the moon circled in the screenshot.

Immediately after you land, you will spot a metal knight lying on the moon's surface. Exit the ship and use the magic stone on the top of the knight's head. Hold down the LMB on the stone in the upper-right corner of the screen and drag it to the area circled in the above screenshot.

Magic properties of the stone bring the knight back to life. As soon as he gets in the position shown in above screenshot, left-click on the circled area. Your character will quickly explain to the knight that he is after the hydra.

The knight will rise into the air and challenge the depraved monk. After the spectacular fight, the hydra will be defeated.

After you land on the planet, monks will bring you an afterburner for your ship. The afterburner increases the ship's range, and it allows you to skip many of the stops along your way home.

After you restore order to the world, your character joins the monks as the owner of the fourth trumpet. Drag the trumpet onto your character to join in the performance. As he plays, credits are rolled. After the performance ends, left-click in any spot. After that, you will receive another memento (Four Flutes Steam achievement). You have completed the main story!
