13 August 23 - Pets have been updated. It's still RNG, but not as dependent on Gloamwing only doing 1 Slicing Wind versus a Gulp Frog plus the other points of RNG in the original.

Anything with 1600+ hp and Swarm or Stampede will work for slot 1, though I'm not if anything with 1800+ will die on its second round if Gloamwing doesn't Slicing Wind enough.

Low XP
Breed
At least one of the pets for this strategy require the use of a specific breed.

This just worked 1st try for me after several (and I do mean several) utter fails. I was really getting upset and looking in other spots for ideas for teams, when my husband said let's give this one a go. I am so happy...I was getting sick of looking at this stupid bird. Thank you.

Anonymous wrote on 2017-10-23 03:37:39

The above strategy did not work for me after about 20 tries. I watched a YouTube video by Cymre Jones that worked first try.

Magical Crawdad - 2,x,2
Ghostshell Crab - 2,2,1
Gulp Froglet - x,x,2

Turn 1: Surge
Turn 2:Spirit Spikes
Turn 3: Bubble
Turn 4: Switch to Magical Crawdad
Turn 5: Gulp Froglet gets switched in; use Corpse Explosion
Turn 6: Bring Magical Crawdad back in and use Wish
Turn 7: Surge
Turn 8 + 9: Grasp
Turn 10: Spirit Spikes
Turn 11: Grasp (battle should be won)

Henry Chan wrote on 2017-10-23 11:47:33

The strat by Cymre Jones has a few checkpoint failures. The strat using the Gulp Froglet only has one. Also the Gulp Froglet must have 1627 health

Lumikor wrote on 2017-10-24 08:11:37

Sorry Mr. Henry, your tactics doesn't work really well, Jones tactic works much better and much faster.

I used the Cymre Jones method worked right out of the box. Job Done Aquatic Assault

Jim wrote on 2017-10-27 08:24:19

This is by far the best strat, I wasted so much time on others. This one was first try with zero problems, worked even though Gloam landed a 2 crits.

wrote on 2017-11-26 13:03:51

I've tried this so many times and even when not counting the innumberable times a pet died too early (and there are several possibilities where that could happen), the boss always had life left after following that tactic to the letter. Since 2 of the 3 pets have only one breed I guess the Gulp froglet mustn't be H/B like mine is but H/P oder some such...

Askania

wrote on 2018-01-03 09:07:48

No H/P is my breed and it's not working either

Dillybar wrote on 2018-01-07 19:27:20

Wow, not sure if I got lucky or what, but this strat was amazing. I saw where I was fortuitous twice, and I finished up with about 50 hp left on my last pet. THANK YOU!

Ruta wrote on 2018-02-01 10:51:54

Keep plugging away, it's all RNG but this did seem better (and for me much quicker) than the Strider/Soothe strat. YMMV

Mhystral#1427

wrote on 2018-02-02 13:36:09

Thank you! I didn't have all the striders, and tried everything else, but this one worked like a charm! It's very important that the crab gets hit only once, if not, restart. Someone add this to the options! Thanks again :)

CymreJones wrote on 2018-03-15 07:43:47

Glad it worked so well for you. Feel free to leave a comment on the actual video as it may help other players too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy7-R0K_GW0&t=20s

Magpie

wrote on 2018-06-03 17:14:47

After several attempts I was able to successfully down Gloamwing with this strat. There is some RNG involved in terms of how many hits Gloam gets off on each pet and certain move sets connecting. But overall I either didn't have other pet comps or tried different comps/strats to no great effect. Thank you for sharing! My Gulp Froglet was H/P btw.

Bauwagast

wrote on 2018-12-09 10:31:35

This strat BARELY worked for me, with Ghostshell Crab having 32 hp left in the end. Thanks a lot. I think I tried different strats 50-75 times to no avail.

Lumimyrsky87

wrote on 2022-10-12 12:33:52

This tactic is heavily dependent on crits from your team. After leaving the fight countless times due to slicing wind killing the Ghostshell crab early on, it finally worked - but my crab ended up dying to slicing wind (again) because there was too little damage done to Gloamwing. Even 1 hit from Slicing wind would have killed the crab regardless - and there were no crits from Gloamwing during this fight either.

Nytsua

wrote on 2022-02-03 18:39:07

Had to restart 16 times before Gloamwing's Slicing Wind hit only once. On the 17th attempt it lived to use Corpse Explosion and the rest of the fight went as described.

Baklava#1199

wrote on 2021-04-16 14:46:36

Worked perfectly. Only had to restart once! Thank you so much

EnderLatias#1305

wrote on 2020-11-05 14:20:41

This is the only strategy that has worked for me on this specific fight in the Shadowlands Prepatch. While it does have a small element of RNG (Praying that Gloamwing only hits your Gulp Froglet 1 time) this strategy has the LEAST amount of RNG of all the ones I have found. The only thing is that it is REQUIRED that your Gulp Froglet be of the H/P, or H/B Breed as the B/B breed cannot survive long enough. All and all thank you for this strategy and good luck as this is one of THE hardest fights. Be prepared to reset a few times!

Calari wrote on 2018-01-01 12:04:27


Gemllum posted the following on Battle.net and it worked for me on the first try.

All Strider Team (1 1 1)
** They must be slower than 300 **
I used a Dancing Water Skimmer and two Spring Striders, all 289 speed.

Here's his strat, verbatim from Battle.net:

*****

Strategy :
The first 3 rounds are used for some set up:
Round 1: pass
Round 2: soothe
Round 3: switch to your 3rd strider (If Gloamwing gets a triple hit, you may want to start over just to be safe.)

All 3 of your pets should be still alive. From now on repeat the following steps:
Step 1: Healing wave (At the beginning of the round Gloamwing is asleep for 2 turns)
Step 2: Water Jet (This looks like it breaks the sleep ...)
Step 3: Soothe ( ... but for some reason Gloamwing was very tired and decided to keep napping this round.)
Step 4: Gloamwing swaps your strider out.
Step 5: Go to Step 1.

*****

Be patient. It's a long fight.

My first 20 or so tries used one strider at 305 speed. Did not work. Went back to Val'Sharah and picked up a second Spring Strider with 289 speed. Worked on the first try...all striders were 50% health or above when finished. I ran it a second time just to make sure it wasn't a fluke: two of my striders died due to Void Gate crits, but I still beat him with my last strider.

this needs more upvotes, i managed it using even level 24 striders to have them speed reduced below 300, thanks mate :9

Gráinne

wrote on 2018-01-14 09:24:27

This deserves moar upvotes! I just tested it, and while I think it could possibly fail to a Void Gate crit, it seems otherwise perfect. I always felt that the devs would not leave just the Gulp Froglet as their intended strat, and this is so imaginitive that I suspect this is the hidden gem they wanted us to find.

I don't think the devs actually beat all of the combinations. I think they release it live and see if our ingenuity is up to fixing the problem and then discretely nerf the pet.

gbh102 wrote on 2019-09-05 20:14:06

This strat is NOT WORKING at all. Maybe Blizz nerfed it, I lost dunno how many tries and bandages (all striders/skimmers BELOW 300). Do not try this, it's not working anymore...

Gráinne

wrote on 2019-09-05 21:17:07

gbh102, you are right. Gemllum's strat did originally work beautifully, and was entered here as a full strat on Xu-Fu's, but Blizz effectively nerfed the effects of Soothe, and broke this strat. Pity.

This should be put in the selection of teams.

Rawrr

RNG willing, this strat worked when ALL others failed. I don't know why this has so many down votes.

coldcut#2275

wrote on 2019-12-15 09:46:09

This strategy cannot work anymore, because Gloamwing's first attacks are a total of 1722 damage (there is no range, fixed values). However the Gulp Froglet has only 1627 HP in any of the H breeds.

To anyone still needing this for the achievement, I did it with the strategy that uses some cheap new BfA pets (I used B/B Coastal Scuttler and S/S Hermit Crab): https://wow-petguide.com/?Strategy=2054 (edited)

huldu

wrote on 2020-10-16 18:52:18

It's not completely true. Benax(Guld p/h) like you said has 1627 hp. Predatory Strike hits for 1192 and slicing wind(each) hits for 397. However the slice can not hit more than once and nothing can crit of course. It's a really dumb fight with this particular achievement. This is the hardest one I've had so far in the entire game over all my years pet battling. The Gulp Frog I used had 1627 hp(p/h). It took me almost a couple of hours until I got the strat to work. (edited)

Charys#1604

wrote on 2018-01-13 12:55:38

You MUST have a H/H breed Gulp Froglet for this strategy. The math just doesn't work out otherwise.

MisterMan wrote on 2018-01-23 10:08:52

Unless my addon is borked, there is no H/H Gulp Froglet.

Belle

wrote on 2018-11-19 02:18:56

Did it with a Gulp Froglet H/P but this is RNG dependable, so give it at least 4 tries.

Joe wrote on 2017-11-26 17:57:02

This worked with a Balance Gulp Froglet:
Benax (1,1,1)
Gulp Froglet (1,1,2)
Ghostshell Crab (2,2,1)
1. Pass - Benax is swapped out for Ghostshell Crab
2. Spirit Spikes
3. Bubble - this is important, you must get hit twice. Restart if you get hit 1 or 3 times
4. Swap in Benax
5. Void Portal brings in Gulp Froglet
6. Mudslide
7. Corpse Explosion - Restart if you don't get this one off. This is the difficult part of having the balance Gulp Froglet. You can only handle 3 hits total.
8. Bring back Benax
9.Bubble
10. Mudslide
11. Waterjet
12. Pass
13. Ghostshell comes back in and he still has his bubble
14. Grasp
15. Bubble
16. Grasp until the fight is won

All the credit goes to Hazelnuttygames:)

Bring some bandages. It took me about 20 tries to get the RNG just right.

Henry#1930

wrote on 2017-12-10 02:35:57

Great strat. FYI, the chance of Round 3 (must get hit twice) is the same roll chance of the original strat posted. However, in addition, this strat has another RNG checkpoint (Round 7) which the original strat does not have. Nonetheless, great strat.

I tried farming for one. Gave up after about a week. Killed about 50 of them and it never dropped. It absolutely sucks that so many of these fights can only be done with strategies that require rare / expensive pets.

Gulp froglet must be breed H/P

It does work as they say - just keep restarting until Gloamwing hits only once and you get corpse explosion off. Works like a charm then.

After all the RNG of getting gulp frog to do both moves, and benax his 2nd jet, I finally downed gloam with ghost shark using huge sharp teeth and blood in the water didnt have to dive first because benax took the predator hit after his second jet, but it is heavily rng dependant.

Saron wrote on 2017-09-22 21:06:11

Got this strat off of Wowhead, it was proposed by Chidsuey, it worked for me the first time. The breeds were my pets.

Benax 1 1 1 H/P
Ghostshell Crab 2 2 1 H/S
Gulp Froglet X 1 2 H/B

This mitigates the RNG as much as possible, but there is still some. If at any point Void Gate crits Benax, restart. Good luck!
Edit: Spirit Claws could be used in place of Grasp if for some reason you're having trouble finishing, but that adds some more RNG to the mix.

Turn 1 - Pass (Ghostshell Crab forced in)
Turn 2 - Spirit Spikes (Gloamwing must strike exactly twice, otherwise restart)
Turn 3 - Bubble
Turn 4 - Switch to Benax - Gulp Froglet is forced in
Turn 5 - Mudslide
Turn 6 - Corpse Explosion (Gloamwing must strike no more than four times, otherwise restart)
Switch to Benax
Turn 7 - Bubble
Turn 8 - Mudslide
Turn 9 - Water Jet
Turn 10 - Pass (Dies)
Turn 11 - Grasp
Turn 12 - Bubble
Turn 13 - Grasp
Turn 14 - Grasp

LirameiRav wrote on 2017-09-22 22:35:15

Worked pretty well. Here's a script to make the RNG grind a little easier:

quit [self(#2).dead & round < 5]
quit [self(#3).dead & round < 7]
change(Benax:1934) [round=4]

ability(Spirit Spikes:914) [round < 5]
ability(Bubble:934)

ability(Mudslide:572)
ability(Corpse Explosion:663)

ability(Grasp:249)

Turn 2: rng % to survive -> 33%
Turn5/6: rng % to survive, 6/9 (permutations of Slicing Winds) = 66%
Overall success rate = 33% * 66% = 22%
This is an OK, strat, but there is at least one strat with a 33% overall. success rate Try that one out (replacing Ghostshell Crab with Ghost Shark). One more thing, percentatges do not take crits into account (can work both ways tho)

NWGameDad wrote on 2017-09-15 22:32:37

For those that don't have the specific breed of Gulp Froglet that can survive long enough to get both Mudslide and Corpse Explosion off, I was able to get use the following strategy. It still requires some luck but less than other strategies I tried. If Gloamwing crits or gets off any 3 attacks it pretty much is a restart. I found that her getting 2 attacks off was ok. The one I won with she got off only 1 attack when I brought in my Ghostshell Crab, but that meant I easily killed her with my Ghost Shark in Turn 9.

Pet 1 - Ghostshell Crab (1, 2, 1)
Pet 2 - Gulp Froglet (1, 1, 2)
Pet 3 - Ghost Shark (2, 2, 1)

Turn 1 - Pass (brings in your Gulp Froglet)
Turn 2 - Corpse Explosion
Turn 3 - (Bring in Ghostshell Crab) Bubble
Turn 4 - Spirit Claws (restart if it misses)
Turn 5 - Spirit Spikes
Turn 6 - Spirit Claws (restart if it misses or if Gloamwing gets off 3 attacks)
Turn 7 - Do whatever, your Ghostshell Crab dies
Turn 8 - (Bring in Ghost Shark and you will be faster than Gloamwing), Dive (avoiding Predatory Strike)
Turn 9 - Ghost Strike if Gloamwing has less than 325 hps, otherwise Consume
Turn 10 (if needed) - Ghost Strike

Good luck!

Henry Chan wrote on 2017-09-15 23:09:38

I think your strat is depending on the fact that you need a crit hit

NWGameDad wrote on 2017-09-15 23:18:10

Nope, I never crit with any of my hits and killed her in Turn 9.

Henry Chan wrote on 2017-09-15 23:41:36

My bad. You might be right no that
So at the beginning of turn 3. 66% chance of survivial (if Gloamwing does 3 SW, you die)
Turn 6, you mean if Goamwing gets off or "does *NOT* hit you 3 times"
Assuming, you mean, the latter, ... another 33% chance
So 2 spirit claws @ 80% (=64%)

for a total success rate of 14%
Does this sound about right to you NWGameDad. If so, good job. Bow!
(oh, FYI, Turn 10 - n/a as after a Ghostly Bite, you get stunned)

NWGameDad wrote on 2017-09-15 23:55:24

You have it correct. In Turn 6, I mean if she hits you with 3 slicing winds in one round then it is a restart. Basically you can never have her hit you 3 times. Twice is ok, but not 3.

Turn 10 is needed, and you're not stunned for it, if in Turn 9 you have to Consume instead of Ghost Strike (i.e. she has more than 325 hps left in turn 9 making you use Consume).

Corlegan wrote on 2017-09-17 22:19:13

Holy crap, it worked. Took about 20 tries. You have to get some super low rolls for 1 hits and no crits on your guys, but it does work if your spirit claws hit.

I tried many of the strategies listed here many times, but this is the one that finally worked! Followed the strategy to the letter. Took about 10 tries with many restarts.

Definitely took some tries due to RNG before turn 3 (crab couldn't bubble because of too much dmg), but eventually worked as intended.

Shunai wrote on 2017-09-18 22:09:13

I've tried this strategy several times now, and even when everything goes perfectly, I would need 2 more turns of Grasp to kill it. Gloamwing has about 400hp at turn 12, and each Grasp only does 105 dmg, leaving Gloamwing alive with about 200hp. This strategy depends on a crit.

Thanks! Did it with a H/B Mud Jumper since my Benax wasn't 25 and also I did not crit at all so it is doable with no crits and my Gulp Froglet was H/P but some have done it with B/B so maybe breed doesn;t really matter for Gulp Froglet. Took 4 tries to get the perfect RNG.

Finellach suggested on battle.net

Team:
Snarly (1, 1, 2)
Gulp Froglet (2, 1, 2) - mine was H/P but I'd say breed is irrelevant
Toothy (1, 1, 2)

Surge->(Gulp Froglet is forced in)->Mudslide->Corpse Explosion (you need to be hit ONLY ONCE! If rng is fail restart)->switch to Toothy and do Rip->Blood in the Water->Surge->Toothy dies and Snarly is back->do Blood in the Water->Surge.

IMO this strat needs much less rng than the above where you need to be highly favored by rng twice and it still may not be enough, with this...if everything goes ok with froglet being hit once, you are almost guaranteed.

Kast wrote on 2017-10-01 16:20:12

After 50+ attempts this tactics worked at last. All other tatctics that posted here didn't work for me. This is the worst fight that I have ever seen. Being dependent on a bad chance for Gloamwing in my opinion is a bad design. Most imporatant steps are Mudslide on turn 2 and Corpse Exposion after it. Just try it again and again and it will work sometime. Rather later than sooner.

I only had the b/b gulp froglet and tried all the alternative strategies, this by far was the most successful, with two near misses and success around 10th fight. Gloamwing needs to hit the crab three times when spirit spikes are up and he must die. Also blood in water must hit.

This is indeed by far the best strat so far if you do not have the H/B Gulp Froglet. Although still heavily RNG driven (12 fights in a row my crab was only hit with 1x slicing winds (WTF?) and when I was lucky enough to get 3x hits then BitW missed. Took 4 tries when slicing winds hit 3x -- 42 tries total.

Did Blizzard change the 2nd slicing wind to crit? All 400-500 fights, slicing wind crit on 2nd hit.

I've done this one about 20 times and got really close three times. On one of them, GW died one second after killing my third ghostshell. I have to be missing a step somewhere because the crab dies before the last voidgate, so that the third crab has to deal with it immediately, then later on again when it's off cd, which is what kills the third one off. Any idea what step I'm missing?

This strat has the same RNG checkpoint as my 33.3% overall strat in addition to another RNG checkpoint at Blood in the Water. In other words, this strat has a lower chance of succeeding.

Snarly (1.1.2), H/P Gulp Froglet (2.1.2), Toothy (1.1.2) (UPDATE: also tested with Muckbreath and Chuck subbed for the two crocs.)
1-Surge (Gulp Froglet is swapped in)
2-Mudslide
3-Corpse Explosion (If Gulp does before explosion, restart.)
4-Choose Toothy (important!)
5-Rip
6-Blood in the Water
7-Surge (if Toothy dies before this, restart.)
8-Snarly comes in.
9-Blood in the Water
10-Surge

Doesn't matter what pet I have or what speed in the frog spot - I get hit for 1192 then 397 ALWAYS killing me before I get a second attack off. I've tried every strat here but my gulp frog is a B/B and Bofo isn't up on my server (when I can be on anyway) and the ones on the AH are BB. Any other pet subs for those of us without the dang frog? I've tried the crab, the crocs, other fast frogs, etc. Nothing works - I know it's RNG but good grief I'm out of pet charms and slowly losing the last of my bandages.

This is the only fight I have left and I get exactly the same results as the person above. In over 100 fights I have never gotten to use corpse explosion because he is always hit for 1192 and then 397....

Thank you!!!!! It took about 15 tries but finally worked!

This -requires- an H/P or H/B Gulp Froglet

Henry Chan wrote on 2017-09-12 23:27:26

Gloamwing Aquatics Strat (16.67% chance - not including crits)

Sea Calf - Surge, Bubble, Blood In the Water
Gulp Froglet - Water Jet, Mudslide, Corpse Explosion (Breed: Health 1627)
Ghost Shark - Consume, Ghostly Bite, Dive

Sea Calf - Surge
Gulp Froglet - Mudslide
Gulp Froglet - Corpse Explosion (33% chance of success)
Sea Calf - Bubble
Sea Calf - Blood In the Water (50% chance of success)
--- Note: (the probability of you getting here is: 33% * 50% = 16.67%)
Sea Calf - Surge
Sea Calf - Surge
-- Note : (fyi Ghost Shark is now faster than Gloamwing)
Ghost Shark - Dive
Ghost Shark - Ghostly Bite

Worked on the second try for me. Your strategy is much appreciated, thank you.

Lilyboo wrote on 2017-09-15 21:25:45

After a few fails, like 20, i went with just using surge rather than the gamble that blood in the water would hit, and it worked first time my frog got to get corpse explosion off.

Henry Chan wrote on 2017-09-15 23:03:49

Good job Lilyboo. Ty for trying my strat and gratz on your gamble. I believe you got a crit hit earlier and hence didn't need the extra dmg with Blood in the Water

Anonymous wrote on 2017-09-15 22:00:34

Option 1 ONLY works if you have a Health breed of the Gulp Frog. It's impossible w/ a B/B build.

diamand wrote on 2017-09-14 02:03:57

best combo ever from galdazen i would recommend to try that,this is the last one i tried after 200 bandages and i 1 shot it tty :D

Sollicity wrote on 2017-09-14 11:56:32

what is this combo though? would be nice to share it with us

Yepah wrote on 2017-09-15 17:17:04

@Sollicity I think they mean Dalgasen's strat with 3 Ghostshell Crabs.

Henry Chan wrote on 2017-09-15 17:41:28

Yeah, I was wondering was it a typo (of galdazen from Dalgasen). Strat-wise it was good (for this boss) ... 9% success chance. There are a few strats @ 11% and one @ 16.67%, so I don't know if you can call it the best strat

After about 20 wipes overall, trying 2 crocolisks, a Swamp Croaker in place of Benax (because I don't have him leveled), and all sorts of other stuff, I decided to get a little creative (and I was running low on bandages lol). After about 5 wipes, here's what finally worked for me.

Tiny Blue Carp - x/x/2
H/B Gulp Froglet - 1/1/2
Snarly - 1/1/2

Strat went as above, but with Benax replaced with the carp. Used Mana Surge and got a lucky crit I suppose, and then the bleed from Rip finished off Gloamwing. Such an RNG fight, glad to be done with it.

Hannah wrote on 2017-09-09 15:24:48

still needs health variant of Gulp Froglet. <cries> i only have b/b and there are literally none on my server lol.

If you really want one, you can borrow mine : bnet Henry#1930

adezero wrote on 2017-09-15 13:10:27

I used a sea calf with surge and blood in the water instead of the tiny blue carp. the surge really helps you get in that extra damage

Laeleiweyn wrote on 2017-09-15 05:42:05

This fight was nervewrecking! Finally got passed the Corpse Explosion after what felt like a gazillion tries. Then I saw there was another "restart if miss", almost had a heartattack, but got past it. Benax finished the fight with 36 HP. Phew!

Lilianne wrote on 2017-09-09 03:05:50

Wow. This has to be perfect. If Toothy doesn't die in his round 3, Benex faces Predatory strike and is 1-shot. This means Gloamwing needs to hit only 1 slicing wind against Froglet, and exactly 2 against Toothy. This means you have at best an 11% chance on any fight (no crits).

I was lucky to win on the 4th attempt.

P.S. This is not a criticism of this fight. All the Mac'Aree pets are extremely tough, and it's fantastic to have found a strategy at ALL! ;)

Hannah wrote on 2017-09-09 18:00:34

I don't get this strat. There's a step missing here. After Gulp Froglet kills himself with Corpse Explosion, Gloamwing's next attack is going to be Void Gate....so.....how is that dealt with? LIterally not included in strat....i mean...?

Izo wrote on 2017-09-10 04:59:56

Weather is Mudslide so Toothy is rooted as (s)he gets in and soaks the Void Gate damage without getting swapped

Quizzus wrote on 2017-09-10 05:01:00

Mudslide prevents swap :)

Anonymous wrote on 2017-09-08 10:48:21

tactic doesn't work if your Gulp Froglet's breed is B/B - it dies before getting chance to use Corpse Explosion in Turn 3

Machista wrote on 2017-09-08 17:26:08

True, I guess if it hits you 1 time when you have P/B you can survive.
Too bad this pet is not cheap...

Castratia wrote on 2017-09-08 21:35:11

That explains a lot. In the words of Captain Amazing, "Aw dang!".

Anonymous wrote on 2017-09-09 10:46:24

There is no P/B for Gulp Froglet. Even my H/B cannot survive...

Hannah wrote on 2017-09-09 15:23:57

Gulp Froglet has 3 breeds available: a B/B, a H/B and H/P. You NEED to have one of the Health ones, and also, your Gulp Frog needs to get hit by Slicing Winds ONLY ONCE in order for the above strat to work. I only have the B/B so I'm not even close to doing this strat. I've been using the Gulp Froglet I have with Swarm instead of Corpse Explosion, and a Tideskipper with Geyser. This strategy gets him below his racial VERY QUICK....the problem I'm having is finding the right first pet. I need to have a pet faster 300 speed, who has Surge, and also some way to dodge attacks. I tried the Mongoose, since he has all of the requirements, unfortunately, his extremely low health pool means he doesn't survive long enough to take out Gloamwing. I've literally gotten him down to 400hp.....I just can't get it any lower than that.

Anonymous wrote on 2017-09-08 13:11:53

This took about ten attempts to get lucky with the Slicing Wind hits, but it worked with Benax surviving at 37 hp. Close one, but got the achievement done! This was with a P/H Benax and H/B Froglet.

Count yourself lucky! I've died 25 times now. I think I'll wait for someone to post a better strategy.

Shashos wrote on 2017-09-08 17:49:55

I can't even express how amazing I feel right now. This worked on the *first* try using a P/B Gulper. Thank you so much! RNG was definately good to me!

Shashos wrote on 2017-09-08 17:56:36

I mean, P/H Gulper. :)

avshar wrote on 2017-09-08 14:41:11

Done with a swamp croaker HB instead of benax, at the end the key is have a high health first pet and get lucky with a single Slicing winds

Thanks - it took awhile, but it finally worked!
