I had to get a couple yesterday and found a list of secret pets at (I guess google since I can’t link): warcraft-secrets / guides / secret-battle-pets
Wicker Pup and Taptaf look pretty time efficient. I did get the evoker pet and she saved the day when Gurgl undderperformed. I got pretty lucky just going in with 3 to see how it went (Spyragos, Gurgl, Nelthara - all [editing for clarity b/c I see how this could be misinterpreted] level 25s w/ 1st abilities 1-1-1) and it worked out, but it didn’t look promising after Gurgl failed to do much damage.
You can do eeet!!!

I miss Lucid Nightmare where the whole secret was a . . . nightmare . . . to do, but it didn’t require a group or pet battles or anything else. You just, did it.

Well crap, I guess I missed that part. I’ll try again in a few if relogging lets me talk to Zarhym
I don’t really see much difference between pet battles and plugging numbers into an interface, honestly. Just another type of puzzle.
I dont mind if theres pet battles but putting in a fight that needs secret pets and is also difficult is a middle finger to those that put a lot of effort into solving these that never cared for pet battles. It should be an easier fight to try getting people into it again at the very most.

Nah, pet battling is bad in this game. It is more about RNG than strategy. Too many hits are all RNG based. ,
It’s not a very hard fight, it’s just a level 25 one. It’s not even a unique fight, it’s just the same one that’s been at DMF for a decade.
And it is a hard fight because it is rng based, especially with the monkey
Wait…. 1 / 1 / 1. Like they were level 1. I was under the impression we are being forced to have them at 25.
You are. The fight is a lvl 25 fight

Idk I stuck the 3 pets I did it with in a sim and it said 90% odds at least as long as I used the right moves.
Not really seeing how it’s much different than putting a code into a punch card machine. It’s just a puzzle.
Sims is not the same as how he is in the game. The monkey is straight up broken
To be fair the monkey feels cheap because we’re limited to a smaller selection of pets that we can use. Not everyone has every single secret pet available, so going at it with what you have may not give you the best matchup.
Xu-Fu probably has a few scripts by now for the pet combinations that work. It’s worth checking for that before wasting time losing repeatedly with a bad team.
Oh I did and using the best team. Don’t know who coded the fight but man are they a sadist. The monkey has a stun, a banana move that not only hits you 3 times in a row but it doesn’t count as a turn because he gets another move in. I only got to a draw before I died.
The monkey is some BS mechanics. The first two pets of his I killed instantly, the monkey is pure RNG

That’s what I checked after. It seemed there was a decent amount of options for successful teams, even using pets that were very quick to acquire.
Dropped out of this mess. Overdone, not a puzzle, just a check to filter out all those who did not do certain very specific old content.

Yup, 5 and 6th orbs aren’t puzzles but a check list. The 7th orb is a puzzle
Oh no! Sorry - they were level 25s - I hadn’t changed their abilities from default. Sometimes you’ll see someone list the pet they used and which abilities described as 1-2-2 or something. The 1 means it’s the first ability. The 2 means it’s the -dropdown bottom - or 2nd ability in the slot. Does that make sense?
(Ty, Vergie. Edited original - I see how easily that could have been misinterpreted that way.)
Very much a puzzle, very much enjoying myself, very much glad to see more of the old world used and players working together trying to solve something.
It’s making me want to check in on what others secrets I’ve missed over the years while we’re working on this one.
