How to Beat Lurking in the Shadows Pet Battle
This world quest is located in Ardenweald, Shadowlands, at waypoint (40,64.4). This is a pretty easy pet battle. I used a level 25 battle pet, but you can use any level battle pet you want since Nightfang will scale to the level of the highest battle pet in your party.
Nightfang’s Abilities
Nightfang (Beast) - Thrash has a 100% hit chance that wildly flails at the enemy 1-2 times, dealing 146 beast damage per hit. Can hit an additional time if the user attacks first. This is strong against critter and weak against flying. Ravage has a 1-round cooldown with a 100% hit chance that deals 296 beast damage. If the user kills the enemy with ravage, they restore 296 health. Ravage continues for 2-rounds. This is strong against critter and weak against flying. Huge, Sharp Teeth! has a 100% hit chance and deals 158 beast damage, causing the target to bleed for 66 beast damage per round for 4 rounds. This is strong against critter and weak against flying.
My Battle Pets and Abilities
Iron Starlette (Mechanical) - Wind Up has a 100% hit chance. The first use increases the damage dealt by 10%. The second use unleashes a flurry of attacks, dealing 45 mechanical damage. This is strong against beast and weak against elemental. Supercharge has a 3-round cooldown and increases the damage of your next attack made within 1 rounds by 125%. This is strong against beast and weak against elemental. Toxic smoke has a 100% hit chance that covers the enemy in toxic smoke, dealing 16 mechanical damage instantly and 5 mechanical damage every round for 2 rounds. This persists through pet swaps. It is strong against beast and weak against elemental.
I only needed the Iron Starlette to win the pet battle, but I had other level 25 mechanical pets in my party. If you don’t have the Iron Starlette pet, you can use any mechanical pet that is strong against beast pets.
My Strategy
As stated above, I only needed Iron Starlette to win the pet battle. I started with wind up, then supercharge, wind up again, and finished with toxic smoke. Good luck, fellow pet battlers! 🖤 Cranburry
