Same standing (not only) animation as Kil'jaeden , Kologarn , Sinestra and some other bosses.
I have to admit - she looks awesome (and ugly).

From the footage seen in Fatboss's video, this fight looks INCREDIBLE; Helya emerges from the sea, right in front of the Naglfar, and the fight with her causes greater and greater damage to the ship, particularly when she tears off the bow in order to confront you directly. I hate to say it, but it looks like Blizzard has found a way to top Grimrail Depot.

"Noooo!"

No, no... It's pronounced "Nih!"

She *dies* at 70%.

If people are having trouble on the phase where you attack the body itself with the corrupted bellow we found that you can stand on the hands (bascially the edges of the ship) you don't get hit by the bellow and won't take damage from it.

Her hairstyle is kind of neat. Big thick braids only on top, that come down around her shoulders to make a 'collar'. Looks .. punky. Suitable for the queen of the underworld.

The link from Trial of Valor brings us here when selecting Helya =\

Even after searching on the internet, I didn't find anyone who know what I am about to tell you, so I decided I would leave a comment here, it's pretty rare for me but hey, if I can be useful :p

So actually, if you /knee to Helya, she's gonna look at you for a second. She's also going to target you for a second, but you can only know if you have an add-on which tells you who your target is targeting.

As far as I'm aware, it only works in Helheim. I suppose it doesn't work in the dungeon, and I never tried in the raid.

I discovered this while leveling my third character. When you first meet her, she will tell you "How dare you ask me to listen to you without kneeling !" or something. Just for fun, I /knee'd, and it turns out she looks at you. You'll see her moving a bit and targeting you. I'm surprised no one found this, actually.

I originally left this comment on the Wowhead page of the Helheim Helya, but since no one is interested in this one, I thought I would also leave this comment here.

All of the items are miscategorized. Brinewater is dropped by Helya (Trial of Valor) and not Maw of Souls. I think somehow the loot got switched. All of the loot under Helya (Maw of Souls) is real Helya (Trial of Valor) and vice versa. Not a big deal, but thought I'd point it out.

Hint for rogues: Death From Above is ill advised on this fight.

warriors rejoice, destructor tentacles rapid rupture is spell reflectable !

Comment by Silverado

Was Helya's name inspired from Hela (1964 Marvel Comics) or Hel (Norse mythology)?

Comment by pand4craft

She screams "I'll drown you all like rats!" when aggroed, and I guess she is right, since rats are very good swimers, and can hold their breath for a really long time, it would be hard to "drown" a rat.

Comment by Asuang

If someone are keen to try to solo Helya for mog... forget it as DK. no mather what spec you are in. Its not doableas far as i know.
the Drowning debuff and CC are popping wayyy to often.
i tried as a Mecha DK, both blood and UH.. using the "kill all the tentacles" tactic, not possible, and that was after a heap of dying from clearing trash, wich ofc did cast a lot of Drowning... akak= dying alot..

If you use a toon with a lot of range / move aka.. hunter or dh, then maybe yes...
but the idea of going in as DK... Nope! unless someone got a better idea to me..

Comment by xLunacyx

Her scaling in LFG is rough, she's insanely difficult, everyone needs so much healing and takes so much damage(especially the tank) that seem unpreventable, expect to wipe a lot. Tank needs to make sure they get onto the tentacles.
