The reason spells don't hit is because the Hydras, especially the one in Darkroot, are usually out of range of most magic. You can still hit the heads though, and it will deal the same damage as a body hit would.

Until you've cut the first two or three heads, the Ash Lake Hydra is much tougher, because it's harder to avoid taking damage.
