The absolute best strategy to defeat all pets, if you don't have a large roster or are new to pet battles, is to use an entire team of level one pets, as these pet world quests scale with your pet's level. When the pet is scaled to your level at level one, it loses most of its abilities and difficulty.

What worked for me: Unborne Val'kyr - x-2-2, Iron Starlette 1-x-1, 3rd pet with dodge or smth to survive one round

Unborne Val'kyr
Shadow Slash
Curse of Doom
Unholy ascention

Iron Starlette

dead (should be)

3rd pet
Dodge/Evade anything to survive, should be last round till his death

Tested multiple times with this setup, giving up in last round to go again and worked every time, so should be fine. Edit - found a bit of a trouble if he crits your Starlette, making you bring in your third pet to finish

I used 3 level one squirrels with scratch and it was an easy win and it only took 2 pets.

Use level 1 critters with scratch

-Rabbits
-Squirrels
-Chipmunks
-Mouse
-Rat
-Roach

Most of these pets can be caught right outside the main alliance or horde city or bought extremely cheap from the AH.

Where to go
