Helcular can also be found accompanied by [[Kel'Thuzad]], patrolling the road to and from [[Southshore]] in the [[Old Hillsbrad Foothills]], accessed via the [[Caverns of Time]]. Prior to the [[shattering]], he was deceased, but could be resurrected as [[Helcular's Remains]], a level 44 elite undead, as part of the [[Quest:Helcular's Revenge|Helcular's Revenge]] quest chain. If attacked by Alliance he summons [[Puppet of Helcular|skeletons]] to attack them.

Within the '''Chamber of Ten Thousand Legs''', the nerubians have called many hundreds of giant spiders. Only those who endure every horror can claim the rewards of the '''Trial of Eight Legs'''. The trial is begun by speaking with the '''Arach'layn''' warrior '''Zephon the Venomous'''.

==Biography==
  
−
Helcular was a mage living in the Hillsbrad Foothills, presumably having some affiliation with Kel'Thuzad's [[Cult of the Damned]] (and later, possibly, the [[Scourge]], as his appearance in Old Hillsbrad predates the debut of the Scourge plague). Helcular was preparing to transform himself into a [[lich]] when a human lynch mob from Southshore found the cave where he was performing the ritual, and subsequently murdered him. He was buried in the Southshore graveyard.
  
   
  +
[[Image:spider_gauntlet.jpg|thumb|The Trial of Eight Legs is a Heroic Mode only challenge.]]
−
One of Helcular's apprentices, [[Novice Thaivand]], resides at the town of [[Tarren Mill]]. Now a member of the [[Forsaken]], he directs members of the Horde to find Helcular's rod and begin the process of resurrecting him, so the dead mage could have his revenge on the people of Southshore.

{{Cata-section}}
  
−
Following his resurrection, and having survived his onslaught against [[Southshore]], Helcular has decided to join to the Forsaken just as his [[Novice Thaivand|apprentice]] did years before. Helcular now seeks to remove the [[worgen]] threat from the [[Banshee Queen]]'s sphere of influence, and expresses the belief that his new opponent [[Ivar Bloodfang]] should have been killed in Silverpine. He seems to be eager to find a method by which to remove the Worgen's immunity to the curse of [[undeath]].

Visoraxx spawns with 20 '''Cocooned Victims''' that can be targeted and destroyed. Destroyed cocoons spawn living enemy adds. At 25% health, '''Visoraxx''' will gain a stacking buff called Ravenous Hunger that increases his damage by a huge amount. Visoraxx will begin feasting on every cocoon that remains, restoring his health by 5% per cocoon. The cocoons will be destroyed by this and each destroyed cocoon will spawn a '''Withered Web Mummy'''. Every cocoon destroyed in this manner will remove a stack of '''Ravenous Hunger'''. The key to the encounter is destroying enough cocoons that players are not overwhelmed by Withered Web Mummies, but leaving enough so that Visoraxx' Ravenous Hunger is reduced to a manageable amount.
