Brian, 

There is a secret door at the north side of the room containing the Hydra.
You can "use" the wall at the north side to open the door.  If you have a
magic boomerang, you can kill the hydra before entering the room.

I finished the game without dealing with this part.  You will also find an
island in the bay containing a tower with a locked door.  Magic unlock did
not work there either.  Someone reported that magic does not work reliably
when the screen shows the white sparkles (snow?).  You may need to destroy
all three generators and then return to Ambrosia.  You DO need to deal with
the Hydra to reach the meteorite, but other than that, there's nothing
critical on that island.
