Les Mortemines

This still works in 2025. Breezed through the instance

The first choice of all strats require you to have 4 Teroclaw hatchlings. That doesn't work.

My first pet battle dungeon challenge. I spent the previous day making sure I had all the required pets, in duplicate if need be, and leveling the ones that weren't maxed. The strats were flawless. Cake-walked through this without a single problem. Next stops for me: Wailing Caverns and and Gnomeregan. (edited)

So the heroic table selects Teroclaw for 4 fights (Unfortunate Defias, Cookie's Leftovers, Klutz's Battle Rat, Mining Monkey)... Anyone have a substitute for one fight?

So today something very weird happened

I battled the foe reaper and defias, and then after that I could no longer use rematch because my character was "in combat" with what I could not tell. Not sure how that happens. But I had to leave the instance to break aggro and get the UI working again (edited)

Can replace little black ram with Summit Kid for the Heroic Run (:

Just a note -- you no longer get a bottlecap for the initial normal run. Instead, you're given an ultimate battle-training stone, which means you'll have to run the dungeon an extra time now.

I have only run the Deadmines Pet Battle four times so not a large test sample, however, even with the nerf to the Terowclaw Hatchling I have still never lost any of the pets battle using the suggestion on this website and I do it on the "Challenge Mode". A few fights I had to be creative maybe finish off the fight with a third pet and move the Hatchling to the back row with Nature's Ward active to help it heal up or make sure you use Ravage to kill one of the opponents. I have also never used the Dodge move set. Yes some battle dialogues need to be updated but you should still be able to complete the achievement with what is listed on this page. WELL DONE.

I understand you have your guide up, but I like to try my own things, this set up is 100% success, I have used and done this 2 weeks running and not even close to a failure.

Best site I have found! Only thing better would be an in game add on that lights up the ability we need to use next. Love this place, and the people that use it. We all work together to make killing these pets so much easier.

Worth noting, after you finish the initial quest (The Deadmines Strike Back), you learn Manaproof Link: Westfall. You can visit Manaproof in Breanni's shop in (legion/new) Dalaran, and he can port you straight to Westfall.

Throughout this dungeon, you will see Teroclaw Hatchling and Anypet as your 2nd and 3rd options. Pick pets with Wish as your 3rd option. I prefer the Hyjal Wisp with Evasion and Wish. The evasion allows you a round of freedom to cast wish if when need it. It also allows you to dodge things like Whirlpool. Also remember, park your Teroclaw on low health but with Nature's Ward active. NW still heals it on the bench. Between Wish and NW, you should never lose your Hatchling.

Other pets with Wish, Celestial Calf, Magic Lamp, Magical Crawdad and Zao

It's not obvious but you'll need to be level 110.
The breadcrumb quest in Dalaran was unavailable to my 106, and despite the following quest being account-wide, the 106 was unable to queue for the scenario. Just a heads up.
My 110 is just fine.

You didn't mention that you also get a mining monkey pet for completing the dungeon

Firstly and most importantly, thanks for an amazing site, I really appreciate the hard work that must have gone into it.

I think we need to have some alternative strategies up for the challenge mode, Teroclaw Hatchling is used 6 times but we can only have 3 of them.

I'll have to find a way to beat the challenge without Unborn. The RNG gods despise me. I've never seen one in the wild (camping alts on multiple servers and hitting each on daily reset) and they're NEVER on the auction house.

Love the work you put in for us. I just always have to find alternatives to Unborn.

Great guide as always. My breadcrumb came from Breanni in Dalaran. You might also want to change the wording slightly from "When you beat ..." to "If you have beaten ... " Looks to me like it was written by someone who has German as their first language :)

Can't believe this is up all ready. It seems a little too easy. First run through, I have not healed at all. Used all your strats, used the same teroclaw for all fights, didn't even use him on the last one. Thank you.

Thanks so much for all your work; this is such a wonderful help <3

Thank you for sharing your hard won knowledge it is deeply appreciated

I really need to get me 2 more Teroclaws Hatchlings lol. So useful in these dungeons.

Love this guide!

You may want to caution folks to bring 2 or 3 terrokar hatchlings, or keep that third 25 as a specific anti aquatic pet. There is a mob called an "Ironclad Crab" that can show up as a backliner, and those nasty buggers tend to run Surge and Whirlpool. This can beat the snot out of your Terrokars cause Nature's Ward changes their type to Elemental, which aquatic is strong against. A nice solid Moth will put them in their place though, and the terrokar can handle the other back-liners just fine!

Yes, thank you very much!

You have Rabbit listed twice - yet you only use one, once. Typo?

Any recommended Rabbit? I have a Spring Rabbit, is that fine?

Thanks for getting this out!

Thanks for taking the time to get these strat's for us pre-patch so we can jump in day one - love this site!!!

Oh, just caught a super tiny spelling mistake. In the second paragraph, it says: "The dungeons 9 fights" when it should be "dungeon's" with an apostrophe.

Regardless, like I've said like a hundred times on this site: thank you very, very much. This is hands down one of the best WoW sites that exist. I use it everyday.

Thank you so much for the hard work! It's truly appreciated!

ich verstehe nicht was bei mir nicht angezeigt wird mit dem terokrallenjungtier, es ist rot obwohl ich das vieh ja habe, wieso ? bei dem bergbauaffen wird es rot angezeigt aber wieso ?

Die Quest für die Todesminen gabs bei mir nicht von Serr´ah sondern von Breanni die direkt vor dem Tresen steht wenn man in den Tierladen in Dalaran läuft. LG

Brauch ich hier wirklich SECHS Terokrallenjungtiere oder wie ist das zu verstehen? Schleppt man dann 3 im Käfig mit und tauscht die dann aus oder wie soll das ohne Heilung zwischendurch ablaufen..?

Die, die es sicher mögen, könnten "irgendein Haustier" als Flipps setzen.
Die, die es schnell mögen, könnten das Terokrallenjungtier durch einen zweiten Flipps setzen.

La quête se prend à Dalaran (Îles Brisées) dans La Ménagerie Magique (en 58 40).

Les TD scripts remplacés par NostrA, ne fonctionnent pas.
A partir du Singe de bataille de Klutz votre Rejeton terogriffe mourra !
Je recherche une bonne compo pour le dernier fight.

На случай вайпа вашей команды в РЕЖИМЕ ИСПЫТАНИЯ
Перезайти на твинка с БИНТАМИ, юзнуть и зайти обратно, ВУАЛЯ все петы живы здоровы!

После прохождения испытания, как опять стать в очередь в сценарий? У Маркуса Бродяги нету реплики только покупка.

Спасибо за информацию!!!!!

Не понимаю почему тут в большинстве тактик на убийство "треша" выбирается птенец страхоклюва. Тут в треше почти всегда краб. Он наносит повышенный урон элементалям, то есть от хилки птенца больше вреда чем пользы, и еще броском бьет всегда первым, а значит Альфа-удар наносит только одну атаку. Ну да ладно, не критично, главное что всё по этим тактикам проходится.
