Send them to me.
As many of you know… Patch 4.2 hits live servers today (06/28/11). The following guide serves as a rundown of the new beasties — where to find them and how to successfully tame them.
There are 10 new taming challenge pets in all. 3 new Spirit Beasts, 5 rare Lava Spiders, and 2 extremely badass looking metallic type pets — Karkin, a liquid metal crab, and Skarr, an obsidian cat. This is sure to keep pet happy hunters busy for some time… I know I’ll be on the hunt for a few of these myself. 🙂
See my Patch 4.2 Rare Pet Briefing Post for an updated guide on how to tame Skarr & Karkin, as well as the other 8 Patch 4.2 Taming Challenge pets.
There have been two more rare beasts spotted in the Molten Front. Thanks to lawman’s tip, I happened upon some valuable pet info over at the Petopia forums.
Neither of these two new pets are exotic, so hunters of all specs will be able to tame them. One is ferocity and the other is tenacity. Both of them, as far as I know for right now, have unique skins — and badass ones at that. 😉
Hold on to your hats folks, because these two pets are both pretty awesome…
See my Patch 4.2 Rare Pet Briefing Post for an updated guide on how to tame Deth’tilac, as well as the other 9 Patch 4.2 Taming Challenge pets.
And now for the pièce de résistance… Deth’tilac. Deth’tilac is regarded as the most difficult to tame in the series of rare beast taming challenges that Blizzard has incorporated in Patch 4.2.
From what I can tell, Deth’tilac looks like he could pose an interesting challenge.
See my Patch 4.2 Rare Pet Briefing Post for an updated guide on how to tame Anthriss, as well as the other 9 Patch 4.2 Taming Challenge pets.
Anthriss is a rare yellow lava spider that’s being added in Patch 4.2. Anthriss is part of the… yawn… excuse me… rare beast taming challenges… yawn… oh, pardon me… that will be a part of Patch 4.2.
All of these taming challenges require some sort of unique strategy in order to pull them off.
The trick with Anthriss is that you need to: dismount, dismiss your current pet, be awake, get within 30 yards to start the tame, and… you need to click your Tame Beast spell.
Yes folks, this one is brutal…
