Despite his inclination to avoid unnecessary conflict, Jaeden recognized the frogman was in grave danger and decided to intervene.

As the battle raged, the hydra struck, injuring the frogman, prompting Jaeden to activate his stealth skills and charge into the fray. He used the Might of Asterius to deliver a powerful sneak attack, severing one of the hydra’s heads. The creature retaliated violently, but Jaeden's enhanced instincts allowed him to evade its furious strikes. He continued to fight fiercely, taking down multiple heads in a flurry of motion.
