Best Answer

He cut off each head and then sealed it with fire. Snowdevil122: He tried to cut off each head with his sword, but its heads kept mutipling. The are two theories on how he killed it. One, was that he used flaming arrows to kill it. The other one was that his nephew, Iolaus, used a torch to burn of every head Hurcules cut off. Then (in both theories) he cut off the central head, which is immortal, and buried it. He then used his great strength to cover the head with a boulder.
