Fight Mechanics

​

Attack Rotation

⬥ Normal Mode: Mushroom Gas → 2 auto attacks → Cleave → 2 auto attacks → Frenzy → 2 auto attacks → Minions → 2 auto attacks → Repeat

⬥ Hard Mode: Mushroom Gas → 2 auto attacks → Cleave → 2 auto attacks → Frenzy → 2 auto attacks → Minions → 2 auto attacks → Mushroom Barrage → 2 auto attacks → Repeat

​

Mushroom Gas (Example)

Mechanic:

⬥ A large gas cloud spawns, dealing rapid typeless damage and binding you if stood in for too long

⬥ In Hard Mode, 6 mushrooms release gas clouds at once, making the safe movement area smaller

​

Solution:

⬥ Move out of the gas

⬥ Stand near the edge of mushrooms to reduce the distance needed to move

⬥ If bound, do not use Freedom , as you want this saved for Frenzy

​

Cleave (Example)

Mechanic:

⬥ Helwyr stands up, dealing a large Melee attack in a frontal cone and applying a bleed on you

⬥ In Hard Mode, this can hit up to around 7,000 damage, disables protection prayers, and applies a typeless bleed

​

Solution:

⬥ Step out of the damage cone or

⬥ Use Disruption Shield to block the hit or

⬥ Use Resonance to heal from the hit

⬥ Vengeance can also be used

⬥ Do not use Freedom to clear the bleed, as you want this saved for Frenzy

​

Frenzy (Example)

Mechanic:

⬥ Helwyr spins and leaps around, dealing rapid Melee hits, with each hit reapplying a bleed on you

⬥ In Hard Mode, this damage is more punishing, especially if several bleed stacks are left active

​

Solution:

⬥ Use Devotion + pray against Melee to fully negate the damage

⬥ Debilitate can be used if Devotion is unavailable

⬥ With Magic , Ranged or Necromancy , you can run away during the attack

⬥ With Melee , it is usually better to stay in range and continue attacking

⬥ Use Freedom after Frenzy ends to clear the bleed

​

Minion Spawn (Example)

Mechanic:

⬥ Two Cywir Alphas are summoned to fight alongside Helwyr

⬥ In Normal Mode, they have around 3,000 LP each

⬥ In Hard Mode, they have around 5,000 LP each

​

Solution:

⬥ Kill them using AoE abilities or

⬥ Ignore them if you are comfortable with the extra damage

​

Mushroom Barrage (HM Only)

Mechanic:

⬥ Helwyr blows up rows of mushrooms, dealing heavy typeless AoE damage per mushroom. One row is safe at a time, starting from the north and moving south after each explosion

⬥ This mechanic has no text or animation cue, but starts at around 00:50 kill time

​

Solution:

⬥ Move from north to south with the safe row

⬥ Avoid active mushroom gas clouds while moving

⬥ Use Dive and Surge to reposition safely

⬥ Avoid standing near exploding mushrooms, as each explosion can deal around 5,500-6,000 typeless damage
