No Pressure is a grandmaster combat achievement which requires the player to kill the Alchemical Hydra using only Dharok's greataxe as a weapon whilst having no more than 10 Hitpoints throughout the entire fight.

Enter the Alchemical Hydra's chamber praying Protect from Magic, as Dharok's armour has higher ranged defence than magic.

If it attacks with ranged:

1. Teleport out immediately and try again (requires very quick reactions).
2. Tick eat the attack with a low-healing food such as purple sweets or cooked meat, which are also useful if you lose track of which attack is coming next.
3. You still have a chance to block the damage with your melee armour stats.

For the rest of the fight, which is the same as a normal melee fight, see Alchemical Hydra/Strategies. Due to the low damage per second afforded by Dharok's equipment, it is likely that the player will face multiple special attacks per phase. This occurs after the ninth regular attack following the first special attack. Make sure to start moving in advance of the second poison blob attacks during the first and fourth phases.

To always avoid the shotgun poison blot after the 3rd/9th attack, run under and through the hydra.

For the lightning attack, start in the north-east corner when the attack goes out, and run west along the northern wall. If the lightning lingers upon reaching the western wall, run south along it. If there is a second round of lightning, do the opposite movement by starting in the north-west corner, run east to the north-eastern corner and if the lightning lingers, run south along the wall.

Thralls can be used to complete this task, meaning it is possible to avoid using the set entirely, though it will be significantly slower if relying only on thralls. However, inflicting recoil damage with a ring of recoil, ring of suffering, or Vengeance is not allowed.

There are 12 Combat Achievement tasks (totalling 61 points) available for Alchemical Hydra.
