That would agree with the Harry Potter books as well since Sirius tells
Harry that dragons are most vulnerable in the eyes. That would seem to hint
at a javelin or spear or maybe even a dirk, something that would let you
attack from further away. Granted if it was a dirk you'd probably need to
have several on hand since if the first blow wasn't fatal you'd need to land
several more. And now I'm suddenly reminded of the Dragonlance novels since
the Dragonlance was probably one of the only weapons, and I don't remember
many others, with any hope of penetrating a dragon's scales. Granted if you
were fighting a real dragon keeping your distance wouldn't be a complete
protection since they can breathe fire and at quite a distance if my memory
serves. You could avoid that if you were quick enough though I suppose.

I always thought greeks loved the javolin... and I always figured that was
their signature weapon. At least, with spartans it was. That and the spear.
And as to a dragon's weakpoint... isn't the eye also a possibility? I guess
you'd have to look from different perspectives about that... being chinese,
I know the myths and legends chinese people have about dragons... and they
always talk about the eyes... that seems to be the point where a lot of
chinese heroes defeated dragons was by stabbing them in the eye or whatnot.

Good one. LOL. My guess would be a corssbow or something along those lines
since in my experience the dragon's weak point is often too small for a
sword blade to effectively reach, whereas a crossbow bolt might be able to
do the trick. My first thought was a club since that was Heracles' weapon
of choice if memory serves, but I rather quickly discarded that idea since
dragons weren't usually vulnerable in the head. THey were usually most
vulnerable in the chest or throat area if I remember right. Granted a
Hydra if memory serves is rather distantly related to dragons but still.

You're not going to say? Good! The body is covered with scales? Hmm. I

Hi,
Sorry, to say you guys are barking up the wrong tree. There is
something else in the game you have to find, and I'm not going to tell
you what it is.
As you already know a Hydra can't be defeated by lopping off its heads
without using a torch to burn the necks shut. Of course, you can't do
that underwater and without an extra person to help. Neither can you
just take a swing at its hide with a sword, enchanted or not, because
its body is covered in scales. However, like a dragon a Hydra has one
spot that is pretty vulnerable if you can get to it. That's all I'm
going to say.
P.S.
The Greeks were a master of this weapon, and used it ffar more than
swords, daggers, and other weapons.
Cheers!
