Answer

Ruling: Here to Help whiffs because there is no legal destination to play the unit. The "can't" restriction from the battlefield overrides the "can" permission from Here to Help.

Sequence:

  • Rockfall Path allows Here to Help to be played from hidden
  • Here to Help attempts to play a unit
  • No valid battlefield exists where units can be played
  • Here to Help resolves but whiffs (no unit is played)

Nuances:

  • Here to Help uses "may" language, so it can resolve even when the effect cannot be executed
  • The "can't beats can" principle applies: battlefield restrictions prevent the unit from being played even though Here to Help would normally allow it
