Raid - Legion
Trial of Valor
3 encounters, 73 boss abilities and 42 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
Since Loken's betrayal, Odyn has been trapped within the Halls of Valor as Helya plots in the shadows to claim the souls of his valarjar champions. In recent days, however, great heroes have arrived in the lands of Stormheim in the Legion's wake. Hoping that their might and determination could tip the scales and end Helya's reign, Odyn summons these champions for a final test.

Odyn
In ages past, Odyn led the titan-forged armies against the Black Empire of the Old Gods. But for millennia he has been confined to the Halls of Valor by the curse of his bitter nemesis, Helya. Odyn seeks mortal champions to vanquish the ruler of Helheim and secure his freedom.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Odyn challenges players to prove their worth before delving into Helheim to face Helya. Players begin the encounter facing Hymdall and Hyrja. After bringing both Hymdall and Hyrja to 25% health before they can cast [Revivify], Odyn leaps into battle. At 55% health remaining, Odyn shows his true power and begins to fill the room with [Cleansing Flame]. When Odyn reaches 10% health, he is satisfied with your martial prowess, and allows you to become his champions in the fight against Helya.
Damage Dealers

Unforged TitansteelHelya
Though she once served as Odyn's right hand, the vengeful Helya will stop at nothing to ensure her ancient curse binds the titan keeper to the Halls of Valor. No longer satisfied with ruling her shadowy realm, Helya now commands her vast kvaldir army to plague the lands of the living.
Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Helya uses her supernatural powers to conjure orbs, taint foes, breathe sludge, and crush her enemies. Upon reaching 65% health, Helya departs beneath the sea, assaulting the raid from afar with her denizens of Helheim or ocean waves from the Maw of Souls. Defeating Helya's tentacles wounds her, causing her to return to the shore. Helya then orders the last stand of Helheim, invoking both the minions of Helheim and her supernatural powers until her defeat.
Damage Dealers
- Maneuver Orb of Corruption and Orb of Corrosion away from raid members if targeted.
- Avoid Bilewater Breath and Corrupted Breath, then defeat Bilewater Slimes or absorb Corrupted Axions.
- Help mitigate Tentacle Strikes, as the damage divides amongst all targets struck.
- Defeat Night Watch Mariners before they reach full energy and cast Lantern of Darkness.
Healers
- Players targeted by Orb of Corruption and Orb of Corrosion may move out of range, so plan accordingly.
- Dispel Taint of the Sea.
- Fetid Rot reduces the healing a target receives, declining in potency over time.
- Tanks afflicted with Bilewater Redox or Dark Hatred may require coordinated use of damage-reduction abilities.
Tanks
- Bilewater Breath and Corrupted Breath follow Helya's current tank target and will apply Bilewater Redox or Dark Hatred, respectively, to all targets within the breath.
- A Grimelord's Anchor Slam reduces your defenses for a short duration.
- Fury of the Maw waves can bring Grimelords and Night Watch Mariners into the battle.
- Decaying Minions leave behind Decay when they die, which can be washed away by Fury of the Maw.
