Beasts of Fable Book III

Seeing people are having problems completing Beasts of Fable dailies in 5.3, I decided to write a guide for defeating each elite pet required. I'll be listing them as I down them today, no particular order:

1) No-No - one of the easiest fights. Use 2 flying pets, I used Gilnean Raven and Amber Moth, didn't even get to use a 3rd pet, which was Disgusting Oozeling. Just beat him down with your ordinary hardest hitting attacks, don't attack when he build a Dam, he actually blocks his Dive with it.

2) Dos'Ryga - harder fight. You will need at least 2 pets wih Darkness, I used Feline Familiar and Gilnean Raven, third pet being Amber Moth (can probably be any other hard-hitting Flying pet, just to finish him off). The main idea is not to let Darkness end or he will heal for like 70% of his HP. Start with darkness and use your hardest hitting abilities - Onyx Bite for Feline Familiar, Nocturnal Strike to Peck spam as Gilnean Raven and Moth Dust to Alpha Strike spam as Amber Moth.

3) Kafi - pretty easy one. Since I have only one hard-hitting mech pet, I used a pet with Life Exchange (a VERY effective way to down elite pets) which was Mini Mindslayer, a Menagerie Custodian as a mech (could also be a Darkmoon Tonk, same set of abilities) and a third pet being Anubisath Idol which I didn't get to use in the fight. Start off something that doesn't deal damage to him, like buff yourself, then Life Exchange him after he hits you 2 times (since my Mini Mindslayer is slower than Kafi, I used it on a second turn) - it downs him to 1/2 hp in one hit. Than proceed to using hardest hitting abilities, your first pet will die anyway. Finish off with a mech, I just spammed him with Lock On.

4) Ti'un the Wanderer - a really easy fight with Life Exchange. I used Mini Mindslayer, Gilnean Raven and an Amber Moth I didn't get to summon. Mini Mindslayer alone downed this guy to 500hp with only Life Exchange and Mana Surge. Start off with Mana Surge since he doesn't really nuke you hard in the beginning. After being downed to ~50% hp, use your Life Exchange (you're faster than he is most of the time). Than proceed with hardest hitting abilities and finish him with your flying pet's nukes (Call Darkness -> Nocturnal Strike, for example).

5) Gorespine - hits like a truck, but you can use the same tactic as with Kafi. Wait for a couple of turns with your Life Exchange, than cast it and proceed with hardest hitting abilities. Finish him off with Shock and Awe to Lock On. I lost 2 pets on him, although he was left with 19 hp when I summoned my third pet.

6) Greyhoof - same as with Gorespine and Kafi, I'm using the same tactic for all the Beast type pets. Start with Mini Mindslayer (or any other pet with Life Exchange), wait for 1 round if you're slower than he is, 2 rounds if faster (you need to be hit 2 times) and Life Exchange, proceed with hardest hitting abilities, don't forget to buff up your team right before dying. I managed to down him to 600 hp with Mini Mindslayer and buff up my team so my Menagerie Custodian had a +50% damage buff on, one Shock and Awe brought him down to 100 hp and I finished him off with a basic attack.

7) Skitterer Xi'a - pretty easy fight, I used 2 flying pets which were Gilnean Raven and Amber Moth. Just nuke him down with hardest hitting abilities.

8) Lucky Yi - this guy is irritating as hell due to his heals if you don't bring pets with healing reducing abilities. You can either use Feline Familiar, Gilnean Raven and some random critter-destroyer (like a Flayer Youngling, Kun'Lai Runt, Curious Wolvar Pup etc.) or just train him down with critter-destroyers, though it will be a pretty long fight because of his low damage and high heals. I used Feline Familiar, Flayer Youngling and Kun'Lai Runt, although it would be better if I used Gilnean Raven, Feline Familiar and Flayer Youngling, I think. Don't use Call Darkness right off the start, hit him with your hardest hitting abilities for like 2 rounds and then use it.

9) Ka'wi the Gorger - hits hard, but is pretty slow. Fast pets with Beast type attacks do wonders against him. My Feline Familiar ate 70% of his hp alone, and I finished him off with my Flayer Youngling.

10) Nitun - the bane of my pets, my most hated pet ever. Not only he hits pretty hard, he heals for like 60% of his hp every time he kills your pet (most of the time). I used Gilnean Raven, Feline Familiar and Flayer Youngling. Call Darkness and Nocturnal Strike him, then Peck him until death overtakes you, if you can throw another Call Darkness before you die it would be awesome, but most of the time you will die before it's off cooldown. Call Darkness with your Feline Familiar when you summon it and Pounce him until you die. He will be left with 250 or ~550 hp, depending on if he devoured your last pet or not. Finish him off with your Flayer Youngling.

New Generic Team for Beasts of Fable (updated for 5.4)

[petability=321] has been changed to disable the undead racial, so you might have to continue to [petability=593] more often than before.

[npc=71163] - Round 1 [petability=321]
[npc=66950] - Round 2 [petability=418], Round 3 [petability=513], Round 4 pet swap
[npc=68662] - Round 5 [petability=362], Round 6 [petability=593]

This team sets up a massive amount of damage to go off at Round 5, preventing the enemy from countering with heals. Continue with [petability=593] if it's still alive after that.

The combination of attacks should be sufficient for any of the elite pets as long as [petability=362] is up. No-No is tricky because of his barrier, and some pets might kill your water spirit before it gets both abilities off. Try again for better RNG.

Since the val'kyr is uncommon, you could substitute another pet with [petability=321] or [petability=218]. [npc=68662] is also the only pet with [petability=362] that has a hard-hitting ability like [petability=593].

Beasts of Fable's completion necessary to unlock account-dailies.
Beasts of Fable Book I + Beasts of Fable Book II + Beasts of Fable Book III = same 10 pets from Beasts of Fable. If you grab all 3 quests, you can use the path/teams I outlined here for a (hopefully) more speedy and efficient completion of your daily battles.

ALL beasts of fable are [petability=956], legendary, and level 25:

> TomTom macros listed at bottom of post. Else, hover over zone names below for maps with target's pin.

Each of these dailies will reward a [item=94207].
