So, I heard those Obsidian are rare and you need a lot. And you should farm Hydras. Well, that I did, and after a surprisingly short time I got it working. Maybe took.. 2 hours?
Like always, always starting the game new (no f12!) after each try is mandatory.
So the actually working sequence involves stepping three times on the healing circle (yes, this IS important, very much so), going into the western room, fleeing from the first two encounters (hydra is the third) and then 7 turns of very specific fighting.

Only "downside": Each battle gives almost 5000experience as well. After all a 190% Byakuren Last Word is part of it. (And the 7turns are a bit annoying, but.. well whatever)
Clearing the room takes maybe a good half hour and results in 11 obsidian (pic related). More than good enough.

I can only recommend this kind of farming method. There is no guarantee of it working, and it IS kind of a hassle. But if you are lucky, you can get a whole lot of materials. (i.e. Hydras also drop Trapezohedron.. which you will probably get a couple of times before you get one Obsidian. Pretty good if you still need some.. I don't)
