Get Hellscream's Decapitator
Overview

Hellscream's Decapitator is an heirloom two-handed axe added to World of Warcraft with the Mists of Pandaria expansion. It is a massive battle axe with two wide black blades and a heavy haft, finished in an aggressive Horde aesthetic. The model references Garrosh Hellscream, the final boss of the Siege of Orgrimmar raid, after whom the weapon is named.
The axe suits any class that uses two-handed axes. Its dark palette with a metallic sheen and signature Horde spikes makes it an expressive choice for brutal warrior looks. As an heirloom item, it automatically scales to your character's level, so it stays relevant for leveling too.
Source
The appearance comes from an heirloom raid weapon that dropped from the final boss of Mists of Pandaria.
- Source — Garrosh Hellscream, the final boss of the Siege of Orgrimmar raid.
- The raid is located in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms; the Garrosh encounter is roughly at the coordinates
/way Siege of Orgrimmar 49.4 71.3. - Before patch 6.0.3, the first time you obtained an heirloom, Garrosh on Normal difficulty and above was guaranteed to drop an heirloom weapon suited to your specialization.
- Since patch 6.0.3, the axe no longer drops from Garrosh. If you got it earlier, the appearance is locked to your account collection and remains available for transmogrification.
- The item was bind-to-account, so it could be passed between characters on the same account.
This is a Mists of Pandaria legacy: new players cannot obtain the axe through normal farming, but those who played the raid while it was current still have it in their collection. Keep this in mind before building a look around this weapon.
Who It Suits Visually
- An ideal choice for brutal Horde looks — especially for orcs, taurens, and other classic Horde races.
- It pairs well with dark spiked plate armor and red-and-black accents.
- It fits themed sets that reference the war in Pandaria and the fall of Garrosh.
- It contrasts strikingly with light or gilded armor, emphasizing the grimness of the blades.
- The dark metallic color scheme works well for berserker and heavy melee warrior looks.
Tips
Check the heirloom tab in your collection: if the appearance was obtained before patch 6.0.3, it remains available for transmogrification.
If you do not have the item in your collection, build a similar look using two-handed axes from Mists of Pandaria raids — their appearances are collected through normal farming of old content.
The Siege of Orgrimmar raid can be soloed at max level, which is convenient for collecting other appearances from it.
An heirloom item scales by level, so if you have the appearance it is equally fitting both while leveling and at max level.
For a cohesive look, pair the axe with a Horde armor set from the same expansion.
Before farming a replacement, browse all two-handed axes from the Siege of Orgrimmar through the transmog catalog to pick the closest match by silhouette.
