\"Ban'thalos\"<\/p>\n

The rare pet hunting has continued to be successful for me since I landed Skarr the other night<\/a> — the first of the rares I’d tamed since entering the Molten Front earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I nabbed Ban’thalos, making him the fifth Patch 4.2 rare pet<\/a> I’ve acquired since Tuesday. The procedure I used for taming this new Spirit Beast was as follows…

Garwulf’s Taming Guide for Ban’thalos<\/h3>\n

1)<\/strong> Locate the tall tree just left of the monument in the Sanctuary of Malorne.<\/p>\n

\"Ban'thalos<\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> Fly to the top of the tree and adjust your position until you are resting on it. Hovering above the top of the tree, use the ‘Sit\/Move Down command’ (X by default, but I have it remapped to Shift+X) until you make sure you’re perched atop the tree. This is the place where you will tame him.<\/p>\n

\"Ban'thalos<\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> Once Ban’thalos has been spotted, drop a Freezing Trap on top of the tree, get on your mount and fly ‘straight up’ by pressing only the space bar. When you aggro him you will be free-falling, so you need to make sure you fall ‘straight-down’ back to the top of the tree.<\/p>\n

\"Ban'thalos<\/p>\n

4)<\/strong> When Ban’thalos is within range, dismount and pull him with a shot. Once he’s been aggro’d — pop Deterrence. You’ll take a little bit of damage from the fall, but Deterrence will protect you from his whammy of a Moonfire attack. As soon as you land atop the tree start Tame Beast. Ban’thalos will pursue you – landing in the Freezing Trap you have waiting for him.<\/p>\n

\"Ban'thalos<\/p>\n

Once he’s trapped, he’s as good as yours. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Ban'thalos<\/p>\n

He’s definitely a nice looking pet, but I’m still a die-hard Ghotcrawler<\/a> fan when it comes to my Spirit Beast of choice — he’s just so damn inconspicuous in BGs. He’s like a low-profile damaging blue mist that moves from target to target — where as Ban’thalos really stands out in the, “hey it’s a BM pet, let’s kill it!”<\/em> sort of way.<\/p>\n

Still though… a really cool pet, and a Spirit Beast skin I’ve wanted for awhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
