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
