Maybe it's because this video is 3 years old, but I followed this and got my ass handed to me so bad that someone said try WoWhead. Your other pet battling videos have been a super help, but this one (perhaps just because of changes over the years) left me only heartbroken at the number of failed attempts I've had. All the same, would never have even started pet battling if not for your videos, so thank you all the same.
The difference between a lvl and lvl25 pet is about 3K gold in my experience, so that's roughly what the ultimate battle stone you get for running this dungeon is worth. Not a bad way to make gold as you can also grind up pets while you are doing the run.
Did they change the Son of Skum fight? He wiped out my Draenei Microdefender in like three moves, even though I used exactly the same attacks suggested here. To add insult to injury, he dropped my backline pets down so low they got killed by his trash.
Same thing happened to me. I did use the 1st pet she used copying each turn. Then brought Menagerie Custodian and then brough in Landro Lil Xt to finish up
i beat the last boss with 2 eternal strider with water jet, healing wave and pump and a moth (just a random one) with slicing wind, cocoon strike and moth dust! it worked reeeaally good tbh the eternal striders literally took him down sooo fast with pump!!! great video hazel ♥
I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get out without hearthing. Thank you so much for the tip on leaving the instance group! That's exactly what I came looking for.
I had a difficult time with the final boss. No matter what pets I tried (I didn't have all that you do). Finally read that someone had won that battle using the Magical Crawdad. So I tried that. It Worked! I finally won that battle, even though he killed my background pets, my crawdad killed all three. Usually your strat works for me, Hazel. But this time for some reason, the fight was exhausting :)
Success!! (He had an Alligator and a Wind Serpent w/ him) The strat I used (Snail, Penguin, Jade Crane) 1) Snail - Poison Spit. Then Dive 2) Switched to Penguin - Slippery Ice - (Constantly) Surge - Until boss went down and continued to the Alligator 3) Switched to Crane - Cyclone - and then he died 4) Snail - Dive, poison spit - WIN!!! -- I will say my Cyclone from the Crane hit a hot streak and hit them several times which I attribute to the win.
Son of skum team made a good alternative for my previous team that barely squeaked by and left me with damaged whelplings. That being said lol, this team only made it because of the 2 bots being able to come back after dieing. My storm whelpling didn't make it very long.
For the final encounter: Shore Crab: 1) Surge, 2) Renewing Mists, and 3) Whirlpool. Solo'd this boss AND the back line. Took a bit, but open with Renewing Mist, renewing every time it falls off, followed by Whirlpool on cooldown, and filling with Surge. Was surprisingly easy.
Your vids are much appreciated Hazel! I always find with guides like this that I never have all the needed pets but your vid was perfect since you give advice on all the general things that could be good to use and why. This was my first pet dungeon too besides Celestial Torment. Must say this was much less grindy feeling and fun!
I love this dungeon; hate the rng of bags but what can we do. I hope they add many more and maybe up their difficulty a bit...make a "mythic" mode that rivals the Celestial Tournament
I am not sure what was changed, But Draenei Micro Defender just does not seem to work anymore. I tried 3 times and was wiped out. Maybe it was just bad luck with RNG, but I could never get Skum's health low enough to use the ion cannon before being destroyed twice. Did they raise its speed so Skum always goes before DMD? Call Lightning strategies worked much better.
Frostwolf ghostpup, skunks, and deer have a full pet team heal that allows you to heal up your favorite pets that arent dead. Enter battle with FWGP, use the group heal and exit/white flag. Rinse and repeat until the 2 backline pets are full health. Although this method will slow down the instance run for the brief amount of time that it takes to heal up each team. This is the same strat for healing in the MOP Celestial Tourny. Having said all that, I like your list of pets. They are well suited to wreck the place. I just added this strat in case some don't have a huge arsenal of pets. That and I love to keep re-using my army of Zandalar AR and KB'ers over and over. But the mech pets add so much fun. Don't forget Iron Starlette P/P, another wrecker from that awesome family. Thumbs up and subbed. Happy Pet Battling! Peace
I'd like to recommend "Rabid Nut Varmint 5000" with the setup "Metal Fist" - "Extra Plating" - "Repair" vs Phyxia, can easily solo it and take on the trash fairly ok aswel :)
When you say you 'Can't heal' your pets in the 2nd run, does that mean no using the 'heal and revive' pets button, or you can't also use healing type moves? Thanks.
hey, could u please show what pets u ae using and not just talk. I simply cant se on screen what u are using. like u do on the celestial tournament.. and u are great
the elemental at the end is a nightmare. he wiped me twice with a celestial dragon, brightpaw and dread hatchling. that tells me i need to get more pets. and grind more pets. i was actuyally considering using a pet with an aquatic ability to counter the elemental. i got a brewfest elemental a few weeks ago. and i have a left shark
i almost solo the last boss with a zandalari footlasher. or whatever its name is. it is the one that has black claw, the stampede abilitie and the yell that deals damage and reduces the speed of the enemy team.
Thx for ur pet battle guides. i love them and use them all the time when im having a new fight and trouble complet it. short on time in rl, so thank heaven for u sweet Hazel. one thing here. complet guide and no location info? And dont listen to what other ppl say about ur lovely voice, its unic and awesome.
Thanks for the guide, it helped a lot. Can you tell me what your addon is called that shows the enemy pets attacks in the middle? Would be a great help.
I've always enjoyed Pet Battles but now I'm starting to seriously fall in love with them, next to Lore/story heavy questlines like Anduin's or the mount ones I think this will become my main reason to play the game lol I enjoy collecting and fighting with pets a million times more than any dungeon or raid the drama you gotta deal with especially in the lfr level.
Super easy combo of Tiny Harvester, Axebeak Hatchling and Oily Slimeling rolled the first three fights and all with pretty much full health. Some random no name pets that work well
Thank you for the video :) I´m brand new to Pet Battles- I never quite got how they worked, and just went with the pets I thought was cute... ._. Obviously that has not worked out too well against the harder pets. But find it hard to really get started on cracking the nut, level the right ones, and what not. Now I might start!
I couldnt for the life of me figure out when you were using certain abilities and when you were just talking about them. Your guides have gotten me through so many battles, but this one is just frustrating beyond belief. Tried to follow your pet lineupts for the 2nd boss, and my mech was dying (after res) before I could get off the Ion Canon. Wasting so many pets trying to get through this.
When this was on the beta Asmongold did this spamming the Zandalari Anklerender or whetever was the Zandalari one he picked, think thats still possible to do?
No breadcrumb quest to start this for me, and yes I am trained to do battle pets. Bummer.....I am definitely missing something because none of my 20 characters can get this quest,and I am a huge battle pet collector. Can't open a ticket because blizzard game masters are totally useless
your final stage didn't work at all for me. instead, i used a different strat of starting with unborn valkyr, then zandalari anklerender, and then a random pet. your strat seemed to just to be horrid for me, but this other strat was easy as cake
John Biggs Yeah you need to have a pretty big collection to do any pet battle "easily". I have a decently sized collection, but still some fights are impossible for me
Watching this just makes you realized how few pets you actually own in WoW. My buns can't deal with these caverns, man. Only two mecha I have leveled is the De-weaponize Companion and Cogwheel Raptor, neither of which have Decoy or Ion Cannon. Feelspetlessman. :( And the only character I use with aquatic damage is Wally the Water Elemental.
According to WowHead the quest "A Call from the Caverns" requires level 110 to pick up. I agree that it is dumb to have this only for max level characters since the pets are the only things fighting inside.
By permanent death pet battles do you mean if they get knocked out you lose it for the rest of the dungeon, or do you lose the pet from your collection?
how can you say this is easy? im getting absolutely detroyed by that skum asshole.... i have no chance against that guy,, he just hits my guy 3 or 4 times in a row and i cant do anything about it. tried it quite a few times but i havnt come close to killing him not quite sure how to continue now
I'm feeling like it was really fun the first time, it'll be kinda cute the second time and then I'll just buy the pets I'm missing and not go back because I'm lazy and there's AP to grind, damn it.
Since I only got this the second time around: gyazo.com/892b3b37e76e46218f65f8fdaf758e1f People will desert this in droves. Easier to do the pet battle world quests for more stuff :|

You may want to mention that the white blueberry dude (next to Breanni(sp?)) in the pet shop in Dalaran will teleport you to WC.
Thank you!
Seriously? That's awesome!
Just FYI - you only get that if you complete the WC pet battle quest. It's not there if you haven't done it before.
No he doesn't. You must have to unlock something to get it. So you have to go there yourself until then.
Yes. Took me a google to work that out

3k isn't as much gold as it used to be. Most people don't want to go back to Draenor.
Teroclaw Hatchling basically soloed the first 4 fights during my challenge run.
Did they change the Son of Skum fight? He wiped out my Draenei Microdefender in like three moves, even though I used exactly the same attacks suggested here. To add insult to injury, he dropped my backline pets down so low they got killed by his trash.

When in doubt give Hazel a shout , i was stuck on these but you got me through it :) .
I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get out without hearthing. Thank you so much for the tip on leaving the instance group! That's exactly what I came looking for.

1) Snail - Poison Spit. Then Dive
2) Switched to Penguin - Slippery Ice - (Constantly) Surge - Until boss went down and continued to the Alligator
3) Switched to Crane - Cyclone - and then he died
4) Snail - Dive, poison spit - WIN!!!
-- I will say my Cyclone from the Crane hit a hot streak and hit them several times which I attribute to the win.
I would never have completed this without your guide. thank you soooo much!
Son of skum team made a good alternative for my previous team that barely squeaked by and left me with damaged whelplings. That being said lol, this team only made it because of the 2 bots being able to come back after dieing. My storm whelpling didn't make it very long.
I've found the enchanted cauldron to be highly effective against the last boss. :D Thanks, Hazel, for all your research and helpful videos!
thank you! I couldn't figure out what pet I should use!
thank you hazel my one and only person for pet battles! you're the best
For the final encounter: Shore Crab: 1) Surge, 2) Renewing Mists, and 3) Whirlpool. Solo'd this boss AND the back line. Took a bit, but open with Renewing Mist, renewing every time it falls off, followed by Whirlpool on cooldown, and filling with Surge. Was surprisingly easy.

I feel so warm inside when I hear "HI I'm Hazel!"
It's totally unnatural. This isn't how people talk.
I love this dungeon; hate the rng of bags but what can we do. I hope they add many more and maybe up their difficulty a bit...make a "mythic" mode that rivals the Celestial Tournament

Happy Pet Battling! Peace
For some reason this quest isn't in that shop for me. Anyone know why this would be?
Hey just want to say "THANKS" for the great info.. love your pet battle videos..
I went to the pet shop but there was no one offering the quest.
I'd like to recommend "Rabid Nut Varmint 5000" with the setup "Metal Fist" - "Extra Plating" - "Repair" vs Phyxia, can easily solo it and take on the trash fairly ok aswel :)
Thanks for the tips Hazel! I wish they would make these scalable to pet level, or in some way add some pet leveling dungeons!
When you say you 'Can't heal' your pets in the 2nd run, does that mean no using the 'heal and revive' pets button, or you can't also use healing type moves? Thanks.
You can not use the "Revive Pets" button, nor can you use the pet heal bandages. You can still heal your pets with healing moves in combat.
Yes! Thank you hun. Man it took me like 10 tries and I seen your battle with the gator and I got it second try! Thanks again, :D
For anyone starting this now, you need to go to the Legion version of Dalaran, through the Aszuna portal; not the Dalaran in Northrend.
Saw this a bit too late. Thanks!
hey, could u please show what pets u ae using and not just talk. I simply cant se on screen what u are using. like u do on the celestial tournament.. and u are great
she did say what pets shes using...with her mouth...by talking.....
Where is the 2nd ectoplasm? I only found one.
Pet battle dungeons are a really nice idea, I just hoped it would be a little harder.
Well, let's hope for a bit more of a challenge in the next one.
the elemental at the end is a nightmare. he wiped me twice with a celestial dragon, brightpaw and dread hatchling. that tells me i need to get more pets. and grind more pets.
i was actuyally considering using a pet with an aquatic ability to counter the elemental. i got a brewfest elemental a few weeks ago. and i have a left shark
i almost solo the last boss with a zandalari footlasher. or whatever its name is. it is the one that has black claw, the stampede abilitie and the yell that deals damage and reduces the speed of the enemy team.
Thx for ur pet battle guides. i love them and use them all the time when im having a new fight and trouble complet it. short on time in rl, so thank heaven for u sweet Hazel. one thing here. complet guide and no location info? And dont listen to what other ppl say about ur lovely voice, its unic and awesome.
the person who gives the quest at the dalaran pet shop isn't there for me. Is there something I need to do first?
I wonder if you can cage the pets in the dungeon now. I doubt you can capture the bosses though.
Thanks for the guide, it helped a lot. Can you tell me what your addon is called that shows the enemy pets attacks in the middle? Would be a great help.
I think it's called Pet Tracker it does lots of things
Thanks :)
I don't see the quest giver on any of my alts. I came here hoping I was doing something wrong. Is the dungeon over now?
I am facing the same situation, have you been able to find how to get the quest?
"Two white little flappy dudes" xD
Can this be done on multiple toons or are the pet battle dungeons like Celestial Tournament in that you can only do it on one toon once per week?
I've always enjoyed Pet Battles but now I'm starting to seriously fall in love with them, next to Lore/story heavy questlines like Anduin's or the mount ones I think this will become my main reason to play the game lol I enjoy collecting and fighting with pets a million times more than any dungeon or raid the drama you gotta deal with especially in the lfr level.
@Hazelnuttygames What software do you use for recording? Can you send the configuration too?
Thanks
For some reason I can't pick up the quest in Dalaran ... Am I missing something?
I am facing the same situation, have you been able to find how to get the quest?
Thanks hazel for another great guide
Super easy combo of Tiny Harvester, Axebeak Hatchling and Oily Slimeling rolled the first three fights and all with pretty much full health. Some random no name pets that work well
Very informative, thank you for the detailed walk through!
Doing this now, I haven't gotten any bags etc after fights..
Thank you for the video :) I´m brand new to Pet Battles- I never quite got how they worked, and just went with the pets I thought was cute... ._. Obviously that has not worked out too well against the harder pets. But find it hard to really get started on cracking the nut, level the right ones, and what not. Now I might start!

Just got my Everliving Spore!!! Thank you Hazel :)

thank god for hazel vids i am only now getting round to this end bfa xD
cheers Hazel xx
I used a Tiny Green Carp against the final boss. Cleansing Rain - Whirlpool - Water Jet. Boss took huge damage and my carp survived.
So I can just take my Lil' Rag with me and clear it with him right? I shouldn't have problems if I just want to complete it :P
What add on's do you use??
even on the normal run each boss took at least 3 tries, is the dungeon changed since you made the video or just bad rng ?
I had no idea that quest was SO long. Sheesh!
you say i can do it agien but idk where
Thanks so much. I love all your videos. :D
Thank you for being concise...💯❤
As always, top notch!
Thank you for your amazing videos.
I won against the last boss with a toad only. Heal, this strange kiss and a normal water attack. I dont know if It was only luck but ist guess so
Are there anymore to come? cuz right now It looks pretty good. :)
Next one should be Shadowfang keep lol.
keep up the good work.
Finally a use for all my mechanical pets.
When this was on the beta Asmongold did this spamming the Zandalari Anklerender or whetever was the Zandalari one he picked, think thats still possible to do?
Eric Souza on the first time threw yes on the no heal no
No breadcrumb quest to start this for me, and yes I am trained to do battle pets. Bummer.....I am definitely missing something because none of my 20 characters can get this quest,and I am a huge battle pet collector. Can't open a ticket because blizzard game masters are totally useless
thank you very much, hazel.
i completed it without healing or ressing any pets and didnt get any special achievement... did i miss something?
You actually cannot do it on the weekly run. That's not an achievement but a requirement.
Sewer-pipe jelly can solo him, tidal wave his spore, squeeze to slow him, and tentacle slap him. Ezpz
Thank you, well done
your final stage didn't work at all for me. instead, i used a different strat of starting with unborn valkyr, then zandalari anklerender, and then a random pet. your strat seemed to just to be horrid for me, but this other strat was easy as cake
its super informative but im not a big pet battler and have extreme trouble on these fights its definatly not as "easy" as you say they are
John Biggs Yeah you need to have a pretty big collection to do any pet battle "easily". I have a decently sized collection, but still some fights are impossible for me
Tremendous as always.
Watching this just makes you realized how few pets you actually own in WoW.

Got more pets now?
Thanks, this video helped heaps :D
Hazel how did you find out what the support pets were? I think I heard you said "go to mount" but I have no idea what that means
I just made a team of of level 1 pets, started a battle to see what the backline pets were, and quit the fight.
Oh that makes sense. I'll make an irrelevant team. Thanks so much
Addon to see enemy pet abilities ?
Thanks again Hazel! ;D
Is this weekly or daily?
EDIT: Nevermind, once a week. :D On to Deathmines, if my pets are plenty enough.. :O
Why when you take the 2nd Instance Quest, you cannot heal your pets between the different fights, nothing I do works ..
I like watching you videos you are so cheerfull :) you gained a sup here ^^
Syd totally solo'd the last boss - props to Xelriel
here i was thinking you'd mention just a group of Icky would be the bees knees
I was unable to do this on my leval 104 Lock. I do pet battles to level my alts. If only max level toons can do this , its pretty dumb
level*
i have capped toons i level alts with pet fights
According to WowHead the quest "A Call from the Caverns" requires level 110 to pick up. I agree that it is dumb to have this only for max level characters since the pets are the only things fighting inside.
New patch made this way harder. These tips help, but it's not really the same...
I only have 3 25s...
This is a lot harder than i thought but i dont really do pet battles either the fact you cant heal at all sucks, I need like 50 pets to beat this crap
By permanent death pet battles do you mean if they get knocked out you lose it for the rest of the dungeon, or do you lose the pet from your collection?
Just from the dungeon lol, just like the Celestial Tournament.
Thanks for coming out with recommendations now I have a set base of pets to sell on the AH =)
can i do this on multiple toons. i doubt it but wonder if i could.
thank you, a thousand times thank you :)
how can you say this is easy? im getting absolutely detroyed by that skum asshole.... i have no chance against that guy,, he just hits my guy 3 or 4 times in a row and i cant do anything about it.
tried it quite a few times but i havnt come close to killing him
not quite sure how to continue now
This was pretty fun, tbh
I'm feeling like it was really fun the first time, it'll be kinda cute the second time and then I'll just buy the pets I'm missing and not go back because I'm lazy and there's AP to grind, damn it.
Since I only got this the second time around:
gyazo.com/892b3b37e76e46218f65f8fdaf758e1f
People will desert this in droves. Easier to do the pet battle world quests for more stuff :|
It is probably Mooie-annie :P
blizzard should make random npc's pet battle attack you just to annoy players that hate pet battle lmao
Thanks =)
use the left shark easy
Hi
hi
