Beat Christoph VonFeasel Master Pet Tamer of the Darkmoon Faire

The Warlords of Draenor patch brings new content and pets to a variety of places around Azeroth, and the monthly Darkmoon Faire is one of those places. In addition to existing master tamer, Jeremy Feasel, the Darkmoon Faire now features an additional pet tamer named Christoph VonFeasel, who comes armed with an interesting menagerie of pets.

He's located in the same enclosure next to Jeremy Feasel:

VonFeasel's pets include (and you'll meet them in this order):

• Syd, a squid, who is a Magic pet
• Mr. Pointy, a rhino, who is a Beast
• Otto, a cow, who is a Beast

Now, you have a variety of comps that will work against VonFeasel, and my comp might not even be the best. However, I have found it reliable for beating VonFeasel without too much hassle.

My team includes:

• Scourged Whelpling (with tail sweep and plagued blood)
• Tranquil Mechanical Yeti (with metal fist, call lightning, and ion cannon)
• Robo-Chick (with batter and/or wind-up)

I open with the Scourged Whelping and use Plagued Blood for the healing. Then, I use tail sweep until Syd is dead. Syd will block a few of your attacks with his bubble, so you'll just want to mash tail sweep to hit him whenever you can. Hopefully, your Whelping will survive just long enough to reach the second pet in VonFeasel's team: Mr. Pointy the Rhino. You'll be able to cast a second and final Plagued Blood to heal your next pet, the Tranquil Mechanical Yeti, during his battle against Mr. Pointy.

After the Whelpling dies and you bring your Yeti out, you'll want to cast Call Lightning, which will boost the damage of your second attack: Ion Cannon. Your Yeti may or may not live to finish off Mr. Pointy, but if he doesn't, your third pet, the Robo-Chick, will get in the final blow against the dubious Rhino.

The Robo-Chick is faster than the Rhino, so Mr. Pointy won't even have a chance to take a whack at your Chick before he gets battered to death. Your final opponent will be Otto, the innocent looking cow. Your Robo-Chick will also be faster than Otto, which means he'll get a few great whacks in against Otto.

There's a little RNG associated with this fight, and the point at which your pets die or his pets die might change, depending on crits and luck. You probably won't miss many of your attacks (which is usually really annoying), but don't be surprised if one of your pets or one of his pets survives with a sliver of life.

Basically, the order of attacks goes (and you might have an extra, basic attack here or there to finish a pet off):

Plagued Blood > Tail Sweep (until Syd dies), Plagued Blood > Tail Sweep (if your Whelpling still lives) > Call Lightning > Ion Cannon > Metal Fist (until Mr. Pointy Dies) > Wind-Up or Batter (until Otto is dead).

Tip: The reason I used my Robo-Chick is because of his HP. At level 25, my Robo-Chick has 1627 hit points. That's much more than other Mechanical pets like the Cogblade Raptor. I've read that some people use their raptors for this fight, but if you're just using batter as your main attack, you might as well employ your Robo-Chick for the additional HP and Wind-Up, if you choose to use it. I realize there are "breeds" and whatnot that may change the amount of HP your pets have, but my point is: find a Mechanical pet that has batter and a lot of HP. You'll thank me when you win on your first try!

My Advice to You: DO THIS DAILY EVERY SINGLE DAY!

You can get your very own Syd the Squid from your reward bag. As I've only fought Christoph VonFeasel once (as of the writing of this post), I have yet to get my Syd. But, I'll keep trying every day that the Darkmoon Faire lasts! You also get some handy pet bandages and other items in your reward sack, so this daily is definitely worth doing every day.

Here's a video on beating Christoph VonFeasel:

Update: I've managed to score my very own squishy! I fought Christoph each day of the Faire and it took 7 battles to get my Syd.

Beat Jeremy Feasel Darkmoon Faire Master Pet Tamer

Each month when the Darkmoon Faire arrives, you'll get your chance to fight against Master Pet Tamer Jeremy Feasel and his pet menagerie. There's a daily quest that rewards you with a bag of pet goodies and the chance to obtain the Darkmoon Eye, which is a pet that matches one of the creatures you'll face when you battle against Feasel.

Feasel's pets may seem unbeatable at first with their heavy-htting attacks and an annoying stun (stuns seem to be just as annoying in pet battles as they are in PVP, right?), but if you bring the right pets, you can actually use Feasel as a leveling trainer each day during the Darkmoon Faire. He's located on on the western side of the Faire:

Jeremy Feasel's pets include:

• Judgement, a Magic pet which is a giant eyeball (this pet's name is Blizzard's spelling choice)
• Honky-Tonk, a Mechanical pet which is a Darkmoon Tonk
• Fezwick, a Beast pet which is a Darkmoon Monkey

To fight Feasel's pets, you'll want to use:

• Onyxian Whelpling
• Fel Flame
• Almost any Mechanical or leveling pet you wish

The Onyxian Whelpling makes mincemeat out of Judgement with its Scorched Earth and fire attacks. Honky-Tonk is no match for a butt-whoopin' from Fel Flame. Your final pet - whatever it might be - will probably only need to use one or two attacks against final pet Fezwick. That's how strong the Whelpling and Fel Flame are against this team. Generally, your attacks will be (with a few extra basic attacks thrown in if you need a bit more firepower):

Scorched Earth > Deep Breath > Conflag > Burn > Immolate > Conflagrate > BURN BURN BURN!

Just set everything on fire against Mr. Feasel. Also, don't forget to switch in your last pet for some attacks! Sometimes your Whelpling and Fel Flame will be so potent against Feasel's pets that they'll 2-man the entire operation.

Tip: If you don't own an Onyxian Whelpling because you weren't around for the event a few years ago that granted the pet, don't worry! Some alternate pets you may use include:

• Crimson Whelpling (drop, available off the AH)
• A second Fel Flame (easy to get a second Fel Flame in Shadowmoon Valley)
• Spawn of Onyxia (spawns right outside Onyxia's lair in Dustwallow Marsh)

Also, if your pets aren't blue-quality, don't worry! As long as you bring the right team, you can beat Feasel! Once, I used a Fel Flame, Fluxfire Feline, and a green-quality Wild Crimson Hatchling that I was leveling up. It's also a good idea to level up any mid-level Mechanical pets you have since they'll have the best chance at defeating the monkey at the end with their attacks.

Easy peasy.

Remember: DO THIS DAILY EVERY DAY! You have a chance to score your very own Darkmoon Eye. And, once you have this pet, keep doing the daily! You can cage it and sell your extra(s) on the auction house!

Here's a video of the fight. It normally goes better, but this time Feasel's pets really whooped me:
