Helheim's Gate, named after the Norse equivalent of the Underworld, Hel, was first mentioned in the How to Train Your Dragon original movie. The Vikings needed to sail through this area of the sea to get to Dragon Island where the Red Death resided at that time. Later, School of Dragons added this area in the release of the Expansion "Return to Dragon Island".

Dragons and Vikings must brave these dangerous waters before they can land on the shores of Dragon Island. Only those blessed with immense fortune by the gods can hope to navigate through the sea stacks that stretch upwards towards Asgard. To even attempt to pass through, it would take an incredibly talented and courageous Viking. | ” |
