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.
