Hydragellos is One Mean Monster!

Why should Hydragellos get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? What’s so great about Hydragellos, huh? When did it become okay for one giant pile of gelatin to be the boss of everybody, huh?! BECAUSE THAT’S NOT WHAT SUBETA IS ABOUT! WE SHOULD TOTALLY JUST STAB HYDRAGELLOS!

...Sorry, got a little carried away there. But I meant what I said. If you stab that thing enough times -- say, 15 million damage worth of times -- I should be able to use the jiggly chunks you lopped off to craft you your very own Hydragellos Maniacal Core.* I'll keep track of your total damage here so you can check it anytime.

And don't worry if you can't do that much damage; I'm sure I can scrounge up various prizes for everyone who participates, based on their overall damage dealt!

*One core per account; the 15m damage has to be from a single pet. You have until Thursday at 10pm. Good luck!

15 million worth of damage per person? Eh??? 😵
oilbird
Thought I'd be able to make the 15mil this year! But with this lag I don't think so :(
Bliss
@Effered
It's horrible. Blank pages and constant errors.
Efferd
@Bliss yeah well, I don't know how it is for you but it doesn't seem to be very "balanced" on my side...
Bliss
@Efferd
The forum post for the lag said the site has been rebalanced o.o
Efferd
Right now it's completely impossible to battle, all efforts get lost when the battle is cancelled after 5 minutes of inactivity after not being able to re-load the page. Since I have very little time to battle, that's very disheartening -_-
Bliss
Ugh. I'm on the bus and auto put Warwick instead of battle.

Can we get an edit button in the future? XD
Bliss
I really hope the Warwick be extended. The site is constantly crashing and I can't do anything on site. Can't battle, quest, train my pets....
Bliss
The blank pages and errors continues....
sunshine15
Still get the disfunctional message all the time. Right now I can't get to the healer to heal my pet.
CastlesInTheSky
Let me rephrase that.
F**k it, I cant be assed to try to do anything thing on this site right now because of all the white pages
CastlesInTheSky
F it. cant be assed to even try right now with all the white pages.
Mogey
Lots of refreshing, sure, but it’s still progressing. I’m at a measly 45k damage so far with my tier 8 pet. I should have been better prepared. :P
Princess
With all the lag and broken pages, I doubt I'm going to have the time to grind out the 15m damage with my T12. :/ Maybe next time.
Nettlekid
I don't know how anyone actually accomplishes this, even without the lag. I've been training my pet for years and it'll still take me thousands of battles to get this done.
Bliss
@feral
I'm only waiting 10 seconds now lol. I seem to be refreshing every other battle hit
feral
@Bliss
I honestly don't bother to wait that long. If it's been more than 10-15 seconds I smash that f5 button lmao.
BoaConstrictor
Make that "You have until Saturday" (at least), because we lost all 3 weekend days to lag and malfunction.
Bliss
There should be a FAKE
Hydragellos Maniacal Core
with the description of "LOL. You tried" :)
Bliss
Anyone else still have to refresh their battle because moves aren't going through when it's been more then 3min?
sunshine15
Looks like Hydragellos is stomping around all over Subeta. Flees from the users who want to battle him. 😃

Still HTTP error 500 and "this page does not work" message all the time.
raul
sorry to ask again, but are we getting prizes for top damage per tier this time?
Targaryen
If this battle lag does not stop I think Subeta team needs to extend this challenge. This is horrible.
Bliss
@Darkrai
Omg. It was. GRAMMAR FAIL lmao
Frieda
ITS ONLY GETTIN' WORSE!
Ringo
cries silently Battling is broken...
StarShadow
OMG I'm so tired of taking 5 times as long to lose each battle and having to keep hitting refresh over and over, not just for battles but everything else as well. Also giving up for a while, especially since there's no way I can get 15 million by Thursday any way. Good luck to the rest of you.
Darkrai
@Bliss you're was actually correct lol
(sorry. This is the only page loading reliably for me, so)
Bliss
I forfeit this battle and I'm going offline for the rest of the afternoon. This is ridiculous. I'm having deja-vu of a non-operational site a few years back before they fixed it
Bliss
Your* not you're.

I wish there was a edit post option
sunshine15
This page is not working
HTTP Error 500
Katala
with this lag, no way im going to get to 15m. this is the day i can get the most done :(
Bliss
My battle moves aren't even going through. I have to keep refreshing @Amber

I hope we won't get in trouble for having to refresh because you're stuck in battle and moves are not going through
Oak
the lag is ridiculous ._.
Luck
Between the bad gateway errors and gateway timeout errors, the site is unusable. I can't even quest, let alone fight the hydragellos.
Rat
did a few battles but the lag is just to much for me right now! good luck to those going for it right now
Bliss
This lag is hella unbearable. The site is barely functional and I can't battle or even quest.
Oak
Marika would need 362 battles, which is not that bad, but I find the lag too annoying at this point.
Darkrai
Quote by feral:
I don't mean to be a downer but is something going to be done about the unbearable lag?
Came here to ask this too

My battle pet is T10 and with this much lag I just straight up might not have enough time available to grind out 15m. Did you know if you're "inactive" for 5 minutes the Hydragellos battle times out? Learned that yesterday while waiting on my attack to go through 🙃
feral
I don't mean to be a downer but is something going to be done about the unbearable lag?

15mil damage is already a lot, and multiple HOURS of work. And that's totally fine. I'm more than happy to do THAT grind.

But it's incredibly disheartening to work on this when the site is timing out every other page, making what might have been 10 hours into 20+ hours worth of tedious grind. Especially for people (like myself) who do not have that amount of time to dedicate to this site in such a short deadline.

I'm sitting here trying to hit my goal for the day and the amount of time I projected is out the window, and I'm now eating into important time I need for other things. I realize that it's my choice to do that, but I'm just not having a good time being punished (unintentionally, not saying staff is doing this on purpose, please don't take it that way), in what feels like a decision between unbearable lag and waiting another 2+ years to HOPE for less lag for another attempt.
Anasazi
@sneaky I once won a Hydragellos Maniacal Core with a Tier 1 pet.........
usagi
I made a thread in the battle forum if you wanna post your damage against the boss and share/read some tips:

Tucker
I hit 3m. I'm doing my best to get to 15m. I don't have to go against anyone else for the win. I just have to fight the lag, the grind, and myself. I can only hit for between 1k-1.5k but I can last a few rounds before getting knocked out. My weapons suck and my pet could be stronger but I'm determined. The sp doesn't matter. I just need to strap on my wrist braces.
Bliss
@Mabon
I'd want that title for sure
Trees
Is it worth it to fight with a lower tiered pet (mine is tier 3) in the hopes of getting a small prize? I don't know what the lowest amount of damage a prize will be given for has been in previous years, and it doesn't cost as much to heal, but it's still as tedious as fighting the Mini Gelatins and the Gliders.
Inari
Well... if I got my math right I'll need ~7500 battles and ~82m sP for healing looks into vault and I'm only ~60m sP short of that :laughing:
Alleigh
Here we all thought this was just a good old battling holiday….

Its really a ruse to make the Healer rich.
atempause
i'd need to do like 4k battles. lolno, maybe next war i'll get the core
Allegria
@Kevin
I'm level 50 and haven't even started DEMETER yet. At this rate I'll be going into the end game with every skill.
Kevin
@Allegria
I really enjoyed it! I’m working on getting platinum on zero dawn right now
Allegria
15 million would be fine but I wanna play Horizon Forbidden West this weekend! :sob:
gemajgall
While others are going after the Big Guy...could we have more of the little guys? I still need like 1100 jelly defenders for the final achievement.
Lily
He hit me with
Total Damage: 174702

LOLOL...ouch.
Pinocchio
1,000 damage is all fun and games till you realize it wants 15 million of it
Only have to throw my pet at him... 15,000 times. Easy peasy jelly squeezy. :sob:

Pandaslowpoke
Well the healer is gonna be richer than Saggitarius by the time this is over.
lacie
yeah this would take my T6 way too many times to get the 15mil XD good luck to everyone else tho!
Kevin
Wuf 15,104,481
115 losses
Almost 3.5 mil to the healer

All done! :)
JaguarGal
While I potentially could yeet my poor boi against this monster 75,000 times...I don't think I could pay the 90mill sP to heal him ahahahaaaa

Someday in the future we will be strong enough to get that core shakes fist at its gooey eminence
StarShadow
Managed to get 1 million but it's totally impossible for me to get 15 by Thursday since I have to go back to work Monday morning and can only battle for a little bit each evening since I work all day. Darn. Good luck to the rest of you.
gitto
@Bliss there’s a link in the post so you can see how much damage you’ve done so far :)
Bliss
@gitto
Where do you see the accumulative damage you've dealt?
Poor Barin is being eaten alive and the healer is laughing while taking my money
Kinky
Laughs in throwing sP at Healer

Looking forward to lots of Healer visits. Not going to get the core, that's a fact, but hopefully I'll get some kind of decent prize.

"One Hit Wonder" would make a fantastic forum title.

Did 2.5m damage in 1hr 15, roughly 2m spent on healing, should take about 12m, not too bad I guess haha
Tiffanythethingthing
mean girls :3
Elysium
Done with Kilroy in 134 losses. Better than the 161 or so in 2019. Now lets see how SunDragon averages.
Lyonid
huh, that would take me 25000 tries and 73350000 sP in healing. guess, this really isn't for me then, haha. good luck to everyone!
raul
will we get top damage per tier prizes (not necessarily the core)?
Puncture
I googled and it appears it was 15m as well. Hmm.
Puncture
I got a core last time the jelly war happened.
Was the damage the same amount or was it less damage???
I feel like it was less, but I don't remember.
LexLex
haven’t heard a mean girls reference in so long. i needed this. thank you lmao.
usagi
you know who stands to gain the most from this??
literally the healer
omg

;____;
Kevin
@Bliss
750,000 battles :p
gitto
Just figured I’ll do a few battles and keep looking at the accumulative damage to get an average :)
Darkrai
@gitto if you scroll down past all the text within the battle, it'll list your total damage
Kevin
@gitto
Scroll down while battling. It’s at the bottom of the battle text
gitto
Ignore me I can’t read haha
Bliss
@Anrivef
I agree with you. I was a one hit wonder 😂
gitto
Is there any way of finding out how much damage each attack does?
Bliss
I was done in one hit. How will I deal 15mill damage if I can't even inflict 20. Just 20. Not 20, 000 lol
wolfaira
I wanna meet the pet who can
Bokuto
the healer's gonna get rich at this point lmaoo
Anrivef
Do we get a consolation prize for being one hit KO’d by this thing? 😂
Joking.. or am I?
villain
yeahhhh def not gonna reach 15mil this year but ill do what i can
still wasn't able to defeat everyone this year, but i am still much stronger than last year! maybe next year
HYPEBEAST
Yeah healing's only gonna cost like 43 mil sP to reach the 15mil score. Super
HYPEBEAST
Ooof the healing will make me go broke in no time...
Marlboro
So what about the "Gelatin Hero - Slay the Hydragellos!" achievement? will we ever get an answer about the situation with this achievement? since the last gelatin war I'm asking about and getting ignored.

it's clear that nobody can slay the Hydra right now, like in the past, so either retire it or change the requirement to "deal 15m damage" and give it to us.
sunshine15
Thank you @Lyn Now I could see it is not totally useless for me to battl ,against him, even I get stumped over every time I do 😊
Slowerthanzero
What are the best weapons to be using on this guy?
Yuzu
THE MEAN GIRLS REFERENCE LMAO
Senti
@Darkrai Thank you!
Cranberry
We never decide the final prize breakdown ahead of time. The 15m damage for one core is set, but for everything else, we always look at all the damage stats, break them down into ranges, and assign prizes from there. That way if the top 100 people have done say, 10m damage and number 101 has done 9.9m, they don't get left out -- we try to make the ranges encompass all battlers who performed similarly.
Darkrai
@Senti You can. It's one per account for this specific hydragellos, e.g. if you get 15m damage with multiple pets this time, you'll still only get one core, but if you have one already, you can still earn one from this fight
Senti
So if we have a Hydragellos Maniacal Core we can't get another one?
Rick
I am quite nervous xD Lets go!
Kicak
Ahhh 15,000 battles is not on my to-do list for this week. Good luck to everybody trying for top prizes, my T7 here is content enough with whatever participation trophy he'll get!
Chelsea
Just to revive from the 23,077 battles I would need to do to reach 15 mill with an average 650 damage per fight would be 92mill. 😂 I’ll pass this round. Good luck to those with better chances than me!

Any chance of turning this into an achievement so that this year's progress can be built on, next year?
Hamda
Will there be additional prizes for top percent damage dealers or is it capped at 15 mil per pet with a set reward package.
Purge STAFF
It's 15m damage with a single pet. There's no cumulative damage prize(s) for all pets. Every pet will get individual rewards.
kytten
To hit 15mil i'd have to do ~86,200 fights 🙃 Whew, i'm happy with the pittance i get from doing what i've done xD
Amae
Will there be a bigger reward for top percentage dealers or is 15 mil a hard cap on prizes? Thank you!
Francine
Maybe next year, I don't feel like doing 12,500 battles haha
Flygon
@Hunger

Correct
METROID
Thank you very much for the generous battling time to get this done! My week is set!
Hunger
And now it's stuck on a turn and going nowhere, too many people battling I guess?
SYLVAN
I'd love to participate in this but the lag is so bad that my moves in battle are just hanging and not going through. I also keep getting cloudflare errors.
Ryan
Lagellos!
Lucifer
Mieke
I've been on the battle page, trying to do my first attack, for 4 minutes so far. maybe eventually I'll get to do.. some damage. :P
Lyn
@Cassowary your welcome. Happy battling! :)
Cranberry
Amber will add the Damage Tracker to the Battle menu tomorrow when she's working again. For now, the link in this news post will have to do!
ColdDragon
So reading the news post, it's 15 million damage between all your pets battling together. I get the only 1 Core per account, that's fine. Last time it let us get multiples of the loot below Core per pet if pets did enough damage individually to meet damage thresholds.

Just checking before I do something stupid like try to get 5 pets with 15 million damage each. Believe it or not there's more people this question applies to than you think.
Hunger
Yeah...I know I won't be getting to 15mil...since I'd need to battle thousands of times each day. Ah well maybe the lesser prize(s) will be good too
Cassowary
@Lyn thank you! totally missed that 😅
Lyn
@Cassowary there is a link right in the post by staff. ^^ up there to keep track of your damage.
MurDerWolf
wow 15mil is pretty harsh XD dont think i can bring myself to do 1000 battles
Cassowary
Is there anywhere you can see a counter of the damage you've done so far?
lull
I've frozen him and done some damage but also KO'd on the first turn.

Will there be any more Golems?
sunshine15
I can't do any damage to this one. Freezed him once and lost the same time.
Tammynoneed20
Another 2 years maybe I can beat him I like the easier ones this one is impossible
Inari
Alright, here goes xD
Flygon
The lag is because of people battling
Chocolate
Hey, any chance we could get something to address the lag? It's been pretty bad.
Nonchalant
Somehow I don't see myself battling this guy nearly 4000 times to get the core, so good luck to everyone else who can actually do more damage than me.
Rogue
ohh here we go
Chrissy
good luck ...got lag here so things crossed...
