FAQ

Where is Hydrak'Dal found?

In the Veilwater Basin, at the Drak'Dal Temple.

What Flame level do I need?

Flame 9.

When was it added?

Update 7, as a late-game Drak boss.

What do I know about its weakness?

Not confirmed in early access, so this page needs full 1.0 verification. Treat the weakness and resistance values here as provisional.

Editor’s note: We have been testing this in early access and confirm the mechanics and location described on this page. Where a value could not be confirmed we mark it verify at 1.0 rather than guess - and re-check on launch day. Last verified: 2026-09-20.

Scope note: This page is written for 1.0 (October 15, 2026) from verified early-access data. Hydrak’Dal was added in Update 7 and early-access sources are incomplete — the weak point, resistances, and exact phase names will be fully verified at 1.0 launch.

Where to find it

The hydrakdal lives in Veilwater Basin, Drak’Dal Temple — head to Veilwater Basin and follow the biome-specific landmark for this arena. See the Flame Altar guide for gate mechanics.

Phase breakdown

Phases are structured for 1.0; only the early-access behavior below is confirmed, the rest is a placeholder for launch-day verification.

Phase 1 — Data pending. Hydrak’Dal is the newest boss (Update 7), and early-access coverage did not confirm its weakness or resistance profile. Treat the first encounter as reconnaissance - identify the tell and weak point in game before committing a build.

Phase 2 —

Phase 3 —

What changes at 1.0

Hydrak’Dal was added in Update 7, so its entire kit — weak point, resistances, phase count, and drop table — needs full re-verification at 1.0. Keen has not announced specific Hydrak’Dal reworks, but expect balance tuning as part of the general 1.0 polish pass.

Recommended loadout

Since the weak point and resistances are not yet confirmed, prepare a well-rounded kit that can adapt — a main weapon you’re comfortable with, 1-2 backup options for coverage, and plenty of Shroud-mitigation consumables. Bring Flame Altar safe-zone retreats within sprint range.
