Note:	The respawn time in the chaos hydra spawn is 10 minutes, there are 4 of them in the spawn. Extremely powerful creatures. A combo such as the one shown below is very rare but possible so keep the Divine Flame effect active!
Strategy:	At least level 450 and equipment with curse resistance such as items from the Umbral set and a healer are recommended to block these. You and your shooters should keep the Divine Flame effect active on you at all times (preferrably the stronger version you get once you complete the faction). Keep the Hydra close enough to the stairs so that your shooters can stair hop if need be. Make sure to dodge the rain of cursed explosions and chaos entity attacks as they can kill even the best knights if caught with a bad combo. The entities will only attack if you are within a few sqms of them. It's also recommended to keep refreshing Taunt to prevent it from retargetting for 6 seconds. Mages and druids should use mana shield if they want to survive, stay near the stairs. Might Ring is recommended to conserve your mana if your blocker isnt refreshing taunt to prevent retargets. Make sure to avoid the announced attacks. For archers mana shield is also recommended, although you absolutely want to wear a Might Ring. Make sure to avoid the announced attacks.
