If you're a warrior who has the Fury weapons, Helya actually has a second line of dialogue as she sends you back to Ashildir. In that quest, you took the Warswords of the Valarjar away from Helya's champion and now she hates you even more since Odyn considers you one of his greatest warriors.

Normal: "Have fun with my pet, outsider. I will enjoy watching him break you!

Additional: "Think of this as... repayment for your previous insult, valarjar!"

Description

<Helya's voice echoes in the sky above the altar> You say that you do not belong here among the unworthy, outsider, but your spirit fragments so easily. How am I to know you speak the truth? I cannot, so you must show me. Bring yourself to the eternal battlefield and face my champion. If you manage to defeat him, then I may grant you a pardon.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Desperate BargainHelheim · Level 10-45

    It looks like your friend didn't make it. A pity, but we must move on. You'll want to plead our case to Helya. She is the ruler here. I would accompany you, but I'm afraid I wouldn't help your case. Meet me when you are finished. I will see if I can find the whereabouts of my shieldmaidens.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To Light the WayHelheim · Level 10-45

    Helya must think her challenge unwinnable. We will show her different. I am unsure what she did, but Helya has weakened you somehow. I have seen similar effects on my shieldmaidens, and now they are trapped by Helya's minions. I may know a way, however.
