For Beast Blitz

Use [npc=70451] (2/-/2) (mine was able to solo this one!). As a backup, have [npc=69796] (2/2/-) or [npc=70452] (2/-/-) in the second slot, and any Beast pet in the third.


  2. Start with [npc=70451]; use [pet-ability=919] then [pet-ability=921].

  4. If your [npc=70451] dies, just use [pet-ability=921] with your remaining pet.

You're done!

Retch Cheevo Strats
*All pets used are level 25 and rare quality*
Where applicable, breed is listed. You may have success with other breeds, but I cannot guarantee it, as I have only tested with these breeds.
Pets are listed in their position order (so pet #1 goes first).
Tip: when looking for a pet with a listed ability for the strategies below, type the ability into your pet search bar, and pets with that ability will be filtered for you.

As others have stated, this is the hardest fight combination for this pet battle. Not only crits from Retch can ruin your day - Retch also does not have a set pattern of attacks, and one ability does far more damage than the other. :( To help combat the volatility of this fight, I've noted where pets are allowed to die - unfortunately, if they die sooner, you will need to restart. These strategies have the best success rate I've found. Additionally, I have provided pet options for those that do not have the Corgi &/or the Kitten.

Spoiler
1st pet strategy with [npc=84915]:

  • [pet-ability=1357]

  • [pet-ability=1354]

  • [pet-ability=1359]

  • [pet-ability=1357]

  • [pet-ability=1359] until Corgi dies


OR 1st pet strategy with [npc=127954]:

  • [pet-ability=607] (if this misses, restart fight)

  • [pet-ability=606]

  • [pet-ability=607] (if this misses, restart fight)

  • [pet-ability=1570] until Tendril dies


2nd pet strategy with [npc=68267]:

  • [pet-ability=536]

  • [pet-ability=429]

  • Pass/[pet-ability=429] - kitten dies here


OR 2nd pet strategy with [npc=62927]:

  • [pet-ability=263]

  • [pet-ability=606]

  • Pass/[pet-ability=484] - Geode dies here, or it may die after casting [pet-ability=606] in the prior round


3rd pet - [npc=85994]:

  • [pet-ability=934]

  • [pet-ability=354] x2 - Retch dies




Beast Blitz


  2. [npc=70451] or [npc=69796] - Power & Speed (P/S) breed

  4. Any 2 beast pets


Spoiler

  • [pet-ability=919]

  • [pet-ability=921]

  • [pet-ability=364] - Retch dies




Aquatic Assault


  2. Any three crabs with abilities [pet-ability=803], [pet-ability=310], and [pet-ability=423] (click here for list)


Spoiler

  • [pet-ability=310]

  • [pet-ability=803]

  • From here, prioritize [pet-ability=423] > [pet-ability=803] until pet dies

  • Repeat the above rotation using each crab until Retch dies




Mechanical Melee


  2. [npc=68839] (1,x,1) - any breed

  4. [npc=68841] (1,2,x) - Balance (B/B) breed

  6. Any mechanical pet with [pet-ability=209] (click here for list)


Spoiler

  • Prioritize [pet-ability=345] > [pet-ability=110] until robo cub dies

  • Bring in raptor

  • [pet-ability=357]

  • [pet-ability=110] until Retch dies

  • If you get too many crits and raptor dies before Retch, then bring in final pet and [pet-ability=209] should finish it

The worst one by far was Elemental Escalation. Need a bit of good RNG, but this is how i did it:

Stout Alemental - 2, 1, 2
Molten Corgi - 1, 1, 1
Cinder Kitten - 2, 2, 1

Start with Stout
- build barrel
- barrel (if Retch poisons you, start over)
- bubble
- barrel
- barrel, stout dies

Molten Corgi
- bark
- super bark
- try to puppies, Corgi dies

Cinder Kitten
- leap
- rend
repeat

Retch should die.
