Overview

The Helchgam encounter was changed in Book 14 and became more time-consuming. Taking Helchgam without a Lore-master is very difficult.

Spawning Helchham

First you have to defeat all the Morroval Elite Masters around the ledges above him. Once the last Morroval is defeated, jump down a ledge on the opposite side of where you came in. Note that you cannot get back up the ledge. You can also go back the way you come and go to the left instead, you will then have the chance have your pet (Lore-masters and Captains) with you. After this you'll have to kill 3 groups of 2 tentacles before Helchgam and the pillars activate.

Defeating Helchgam

After Book 14 you'll have to go on every pillar to take Helchgam down. Before you can take a pillar down you'll first have to kill the tentacles on the left side of the pillar and 2 on the right. After you have killed all 4 tentacles Helchgam will pull the pillar down on the water and the fellowship will be able to walk on it towards Helchgam and dps him. On each pillar you'll have to take 12k morale off him and then he'll start pulling the pillar down into the poisonous water. Note that falling in the water results in an instant kill. Important is that after 10k morale everyone must run off the pillar and and stop all dps till everyone is back in savety. After that the remaining 2k will be done ranged. This way nobody will get rooted on the pillar when helchgam takes it down and die in the poisonous water. Repeat this on the first 3 pillars and kill him on the 4th.

Loot

Putrid Slime of Helchgam. Highly prized by Lore-masters, Hunters and Captains for their level 45 class quests.
