Hydra on Xmax, to my knowledge doesn't give any extra loot. Nor do any of the other bosses with chest loot. I've also noticed patterns of specific items dropping from specific bosses regularly, that never seem to drop from other bosses. All the high level legendary items drop the most from Hades. Scepter of the Shadow king, greaves of the argonauts, plouton's cornocopia, etc. Never seen those items drop from act 1 through 3 bosses. I've never seen any of the black pearl rings/amulets drop outside of a hydra chest. But hydra chests drop rings/amulet regularly. I got like over a dozen of each of the black pearl rings and amulets. 100% of them are from hydra. Bracelets are pretty rare, only got 4 of those. Not sure of a specific spot that drops those regularly. Secret passage chest can drop them. I know I got at least 1 of the 4 from there. So there isn't a single best place to farm. It really depends on which items you're looking for. Didn't mean Hydra my bad, meant Typhon. . A beginners guide to farming act 1 normal. Best locations to find rare loot. Legendary, Epic, Rare and Monster Infrequent items explained.. Loading games where I have a character near a named mob seems to suck. Is there a better way to farm blue stuff/set pieces, etc?.
