Last updated 2021-02-21

As is tradition at this point, a selection of pet battling world quests in Shadowlands are required for the achievement Family Exorcist.

You will need to defeat at least 9 of the 11 tamers repeatedly, each time with pets from only one family. The reward for doing so is the cute Spriggan Trickster

Xu-Fu can scan this section for the most suitable strategies according to your preferences and show the required pets.
Pick a family below to check which pets you need.

completely logout before you you renew your pet collection so that it will load all the new pets that youd have, plus see those that you have leveled and or made rare.

When I use the family pet link it still shows I have pets not maxed (when they are) and not rare (when they are). How do i update this so it's correct?

Maybe you need two, or one of a specific breed on top of another breed?

Sometimes it takes hours or even days for an update to my collection here to show accurately. Importing/ load a team with Rematch will pull up the correct 25 Rare for the battle even if it still shows a Lvl1 poor quality on the site.

I just made a macro for family exorcist and hotkeyed it. Couple of clicks to get info you need but didn't need an extra addon

Family Familar Addon works for all of the family achievements!

As noted Family Familar also covers this. If you use ATT (all the things!) then this too has tracking not only for the pet battle achievments but missing pets in zone etc.

Guys, i read somewhere that there's an option to have multiple teams for one target? could someone explain to me how to do that cause that would help with the achievement.

Thx

i use PetBattleMaster and PetJournal Enhanced... i think it is the master one that lets you make multiple teams

Just an FYI that you don't have to beat all 11 trainers per family for the achievement. Like in BFA you can skip a couple that have heavy RNG and are punishing to certain families.

It is confirmed multiple times that the Pet Battles are repeatable after the WQ has gone away. A good way to get your achievement faster ^_^ (edited)

You need the addon rematch for it, at first I was confused how to use everything too.

I think he was talking about potentially mass exporting scripts, as well. You have to enter them all manually as far as I am aware.

Rotgut and Maximillian are ridiculous on this set of family achieves. They are truly OP. This would be a massive turn off to the average pet battler which sucks because Blizz need to be encouraging people to pet battle, not making it distastefully hard.

Something weird that I haven't seen before but I am sure it is part of rematch maybe?

I imported the entire team list, it said importing 102 teams when I copied the string into rematch. However, it is ONLY showing the mechanical teams in the tab. What am I missing?

I have a suspicion what might cause this bug. But I'd need to know which strategy exactly it's breaking at. Could you please send me the entire rematch string with the 102 strategies you're using? Per email please ^^ [email protected]

Thank you!

Same here! I'm using the mass Rematch export from above (110 Teams). Sending Email :)

There's a Rematch option to override Teams for the same Trainer instead of adding new ones. Maybe check your import?

After more testing it's pretty clear this problem is within Rematch. If this happens to you, try deleting the 11 imported ones, then import the full 110 again. For some people it worked on the second try.
Also make sure the tickbox to override Teams is not on. Rematch can only match 1 team to 1 tamer. If you tell it to override, it will just create 11 (one for each tamer), then for the other families that come after write over the existing ones, ending with Mechanic because they are last in the list.

With the tickbox off, copies will be created but only the first (Humanoid) will be linked to the Tamer.

Are you using the page in English or German? Just so I can test this to find and fix that bug, thanks!

Yes. On Beta they can, and I believe that is continuing into Shadowlands proper.

I really love that you can fight them multiple times so I can't finish my achievement earlier.
