Yeah I wish I read this before starting the event since I only had one Iron Starlette and it died and it wouldn't let me try a second time. On another character I had two Iron Starlettes but only needed the first one.

With my PP Starlet, Stitches needed to revive already after turn6 and Starlett was still alive, so two carry pets would have been possible

Esploratore wrote on 2019-07-23 06:39:03

As of 2019, 8.2 in particular, you got a pet that can remove enemy debuffs, even permanent ones like iron thread, the one which prevents you from damaging this abomination with weaker attacks than 500 damage: the ravenous prideling! So you can just use disruption and take a chitterspine skitterer, use black claw + swarm and it's gonna destroy him, that's more suited cause it's strong vs undead but once you remove the buff any black claw + swarm type attack will destroy him.

This doesn't work so well for the Dalaran battle but the battle is with Splint Jr not Stitches Jr Jr. But I made it work since my team was 3 Starlettes.
Did I miss something?

Used Unborn Val'kyr 2,2,2, and 2 Iron starlette 1,1,1.
Curse of doom
Unholy ascension
Iron starlette comes in
Wind up,supercharge,wind up
Powerball till Stitches is dead.
No need for 2nd Iron starlette just put in for back up just in case.
Quick fight

JustaNoob wrote on 2017-08-25 19:41:10

Tried Iron Starlette strat, failed twice (I was trying different backup pets), tried MolsonoAle strat worked great. Even levelled #3 pet when Stitches rezzed, thanks.

Dougula wrote on 2017-07-21 19:21:21

P/P Starlette pretty much dropped him after the supercharged wind up part, he resurrected, hit The Starlette, it died and rezed - I hit the wind up then he died b4 I could fire it off.

Pandaren Earth Spirit
Turn 1 - Mudslide

Benax
Turn 2 - Pump
Repeat Pump until Benax or Stitches are dead then switch back to Pandaren Earth Spirit and do Mudslide again.

Any leveling pet that can survive ~600 damage in the background

Soloed Red Cricket wrote on 2017-05-06 00:01:27

Red Cricket, 1,2,1, spam 1 and use the heal when needed, easy fight.

SloBash wrote on 2017-05-05 15:36:00

Great strat, killed him on turn 7 i believe!

Brawler wrote on 2017-02-26 18:51:36

7 round KO (fastest I've seen)

P/P Crimson Geode
H/H Elekk Plushie (must be in 2nd pet slot)
Any Pet

Round1: Crystal Overload
Round2: Stone Rush
Round3: swap to Plushie
Round4: Itchin' for a Stichin'
Round5: Crystal Overload
Round6: Stone Rush
Round7: bring in Plushie and pass :)

Evil wrote on 2017-03-15 20:21:19

Crimson Geode dies too fast for me, never survived 2nd Stone Rush, but could use TWO of them :P

Nice find tho!

I m also testing few strats, because this NPC is up today (and reward is Marked Flawless Battle-Stone) so i might share some later.

TheGrandmaGamer wrote on 2017-04-04 18:58:40

Actually, I used the fact that my Geode dies to eliminate the free hit from Stitches on my Iron Starlette. I use an HP Geode with 322 Power instead of 357 which is enough power but with 146 more health. The Stone Rush/Crystal Overload damage is what kills mine so having that extra health might make a difference in surviving to cast that 2nd Rush.

Start with Crimson Geode

Round 1: Crystal Overload
Round 2: Stone Rush
Round 3: Crystal Overload
Round 4: Stone Rush

Geode dies; bring in Iron Starlet

Wind-up
Supercharge [Stitches is under 900 health so not really needed, but with Blizzard you never know]
Wind-up for the kill - or really over kill - on Stitches
The Plushie pass here is cute and gave me a sweet smile but I had a 2nd Starlette in the 3rd slot in case Blizzard did something strange.

Kerrchak wrote on 2017-01-22 16:13:47

Good old Howl Bomb works great for this fight.

Unborn Valkyr, Mini Mindslayer (or any pet with Life Exchange ability), Chrominius.

Unborn Val'kyr
Turn 1 - Curse of Doom
Turn 2 - Unholy Ascension

Mini Mindslayer
Turn 3 - Life Exchange
Turn 4 - Switch to Chrominius

Chrominius
Turn 5 - Howl (Stitches Jr. Jr. will use Enrage this turn taking on 50% more damage on top of your 100% from Howl. Curse of Doom will go off at the end of the turn dealing massive damage)
Turn 6 - Finish him off with Surge of Power

It's no 1 pet start, but it's certainly a lot faster with less turns.
I believe any pet with Life Exchange will work for the 2nd pet if you don't have a Mini Mindslayer but the other two pets are pretty much required.

Anonymous wrote on 2017-03-15 11:27:10

yes I used Yu'la for my 2nd pet with life exchange.

Gary wrote on 2017-04-04 03:14:19

Thank you, this worked perfectly -and quickly! cheers

Evil wrote on 2017-03-15 20:50:04

P/P Crimson Geode, Unborn Val'kyr, Chrominius

Crystal Overload, Stone Rush

Swap to Unborn Val'kyr
Unholy Ascension

Swap to Chrominius
Howl, Surge of Power

Modification to Brawler's P/P strategy. Thumbs up for Crimson Geode find.

Anonymous wrote on 2017-03-15 22:39:45

Thanks for the strategy! It worked perfect.

Evil wrote on 2017-03-16 02:02:08

lol looks like there is a "bug" here!! Surge of Power with buffs should always hit for 2k dmg (2035 exactly)

Which just kills Stitches, because 1st two rounds ALWAYS leave him with the same exact number of health.

but... i did it on 8 chars tonight, and two times Surge of Power left him on 200+ hp, and once, even on 400+ hp..

yet Surge of Power doesnt have x-y damage, tooltip says constant number, and there is 0 RNG included, means it should always hit for the same number- 2035= a kill!

It should be 100% efficient, but for me it actually was a kill 8/11 times >.<

I dont understand O_O but in case u will fail to kill him with this tactic, just heal up and redo.

Abi wrote on 2017-03-31 20:37:45

can confirm this strat works

Electrica wrote on 2017-01-12 00:40:41

Anklerender EZ mode done in 2 attacks. Hunting party and black claw. Hit with black claw, then use hunting party and then he's dead. In case of bad RNG, have a kneebiter in with the same talents.

wrote on 2017-01-14 12:34:26

Are you sure you wrote this where you'd intended to?
This opponent has "Iron Thread" buff that blocks all hits below 500 damage points.

Electrica wrote on 2017-01-17 12:42:00

Yep! Just did it again now :) With the black claw, my hunting party was hitting for 608.

This is false information.

It might depend on breed - would have to test it.

Electrica wrote on 2017-01-20 15:52:44

No longer works. Must've been a bug that they hot fixed it yesterday as it worked on Tuesday. It was NOT false information FYI when I posted it originally. It's still possible to defeat using these 2 pets, with black claw and bite instead though. If you're needing it for the bloodgazer +2 beasts.

Mintari wrote on 2017-03-31 11:56:33

Still works with S/S Anklerender, Blackclaw>Hunting Party and win.

Mogster wrote on 2017-02-26 13:08:12

A Red Cricket (1,2,1) can usually solo this fight. Just use Cocoon Strike after he Enrages, beat him down with Skitter and heal as needed.

Elfzwold wrote on 2017-02-15 07:13:06

Direbeak Hatchling. For the quest where you need to battle with 2 humanoids, I used two Sunborne Valkyrs. Use Holy Strike (to stun him to help your cooldowns) and Holy Charge. The direbeak can easily finish him once he gets below 25% with Predatory Strike.

Syrg wrote on 2017-01-05 12:45:56

I used my strider and was able to one pet with pump spam.

Deyastra wrote on 2017-01-13 11:51:43

Thank you, not only were all his attacks weak on my strider but pump just destroys him with ease!

Did you have Cleansing Rain up as well?

Nalli wrote on 2017-01-20 12:53:39

BTW, if any one is doing the Falcosaur quest chain for the 3 WQ and happen to fall on the Falcosaur and 2 Undead pets (for me this case it was Snowfeather Falcosaur + 2 Undead). I used the Snowfeather( any, any, 2 ), Bone Serpent( any, 2, 1 ), and Frostwolf Ghostpup ( 2, 1, any )...Start with Warning Squawk, swap to Bone Serpent, use Call Darkness then Nocturnal Strike, swap to Frostwolf Ghost Pup, use Sneak Attack until Darkness drops (should leave 'Ol Jr.Jr. into his final move before dying) then use Refuge for the heck of it :)

Anonymous wrote on 2017-01-01 23:56:46

Seems to be less breed dependent if you pass turn 4 then continue w/ supercharge and windups........the enrage lines up that way and he takes higher damage from it. Tested a few times so far today but only got 5 tries in before i ran out of characters at 110

Strange. The original Stitches Jr. page (?m=Menagerie&s=14) that served as a base contains just that.

Tizona wrote on 2017-01-20 02:21:22

Yep - the main strat failed 5 times - the above with the extra pass in it worked first time...

Aranesh

wrote on 2017-01-20 07:27:52

I added the pass step now and will wait for feedback ;-)

Groomble wrote on 2017-01-01 14:01:49

My iron starlette (p/b, but I think this would hold true for any of the P breeds) kept not finishing him off -- but I found that if you do two supercharges, one on the first round and one on the third (skipping the second because it's not up yet), he kills Stitches Jr Jr handily. Like so:

wind up, supercharge, wind up
wind up, wind up
wind up, supercharge, wind up

He survived with too many hp to get killed on stitches' rez round so I subbed in a lvl 17~ pet in for that turn... only to find that the fight awards negligible xp, only got 270 for that. =/

gravyspasm wrote on 2016-12-07 21:14:00

If you add a powerball after he enrages the 2nd time, you can still one pet this.

Tyrsa wrote on 2017-01-01 13:50:42

This. Otherwise good chance that starlette dies because you will need to do another pair of wind-ups in order to get him to the undead round. Powerball will do enough dmg only during the enrage rounds.
Leveling pet is kinda useless here, only get ~350 xp. I throw one into the third slot just in case the starlette dies during the undead round. I keep a strider (pump) in slot 2 for insurance.

Frogprincess wrote on 2017-01-01 10:31:33

Better order is 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, swap to leveling pet (very low exp). powerball will hit him when enraged, and he will cast enrage during his immortal round. takes a round off the fight, gives a couple hundred exp to pet.

Cru wrote on 2016-12-20 14:18:38

I used two level 15-17 mech pets, put them in for one round, then switched to Iron star. Won on first try and I got a level up for my mechs.

Yakk wrote on 2016-12-20 12:27:14

Iron Starlette is not working as he will survive the 3rd attack every time. Bring Chromie for the final hit..

wrote on 2016-12-12 16:05:00

Now you can throw a Runeforged Servitor instead with a lightning weather for more oomph!
I'll ask for upload when he's up again, as I can't recall if he's identical to the Menagerie one and I don't believe WH =P

Snotbubble wrote on 2016-12-07 10:57:36

I use Unborn Val'kyr 1-2-2, Pandaran Water Spirit 1-2-1 and Chrominius 1-1-2, very easy. Unborn use Curse of Doom, Unholy Ascension, Water Spirit use Whirlpool, switch to Chrominius and use Howl and then Surge of Power = Stitches dead.

Isiliel wrote on 2016-12-05 09:10:10

Found a good working strat when searching for a way to do "Sharptalon Team Rumble" which requires magic pets. Did it without any problems like this:

Mini Mindslayer(2-1-2)
Shimmering Wyrmling (1-2-1)
Sharptalon Hatchling (doesn't matter)

Amplify Magic - Mana Surge - Life Exchange - Pass - Amplify Magic - Mana Surge - done :)
If not, just do the same with Shimmering Wyrmling one time....

Kalaida wrote on 2016-12-04 09:48:20

Seeing some people saying it doesn't work.
Worked first time for me, Iron Starlette died on turn 7 (the same as Stitches) so all I had to do was swap in a 2nd for the undead round - got a levelling pet in there but only 218exp with the safari hat so it's not worth it.

Ravynsur wrote on 2016-12-04 22:54:27

I think it's a bit RNG. I had to start the fight over because my Starlette died to Stitches due to him getting some good crits the entire fight. 2nd run went perfect. (12/4/16)

Has something changed? This strategy fails every time for me. Iron Starlette dies before turn 4.

Daedrynn wrote on 2016-11-05 01:54:45

You do not need to have your falcosaur in the battle. It only needs to be summoned. I completed those quests with all 4 falcosaur pets without having them in a single battle.

Jenny wrote on 2016-10-13 04:11:01

I used a Iron Starlette and a level 10+ pet. Spammed Wind-Up until Stitches was dead.

Gaffa wrote on 2016-10-13 03:42:24

I use a Frostfur Rat (1 1 2) . Stupidly easy. Just Crouch, then Call Darkness, then Sneak Attack refreshing Crouch and Call Darkness as needed. Crouch will half all Stitches incoming damage. Call Darkness means that Sneak Attack is a guaranteed hit and Sneak Attack simply smashes Undead.

Asher wrote on 2016-10-12 22:39:40

Why not Stitches III?

Anonymous wrote on 2016-10-01 03:22:22

My favorite strat for this guy's WoD equivalent was double Pygmy Cow. Chew, Where's the Beef?, Chew again, swap, repeat until dead.

Segemyhr wrote on 2016-09-29 05:10:04

Suprised noone mentioned Red Cricket yet, it absolutly destroys him, just cocoon for enrage and heal when getting low

Oif veteran wrote on 2016-09-29 03:11:27

Soloed with a B/B wanderers festival Hatchling. Keep up shell shield and pump away.

Love your guide!!

Dominelton wrote on 2016-09-25 21:04:25

If you dont have a P/P breed you can change a little the strategy to deal more damage:
1 - Wind-up
2 - Wind-up
3 - Powerball (will be blocked) or Pass
4 - Wind-up
5 - Supercharge
6 - Wind-up (Stitches will be receiving increase damage AND you will be on Supercharge - massive damage)
7 - Wind-up
8 - Wind-up
9 - Pass - Stitches dead!

Izeiy wrote on 2016-09-13 01:20:12

Strategy above works around 75% of the time, depending on crits from Jr. Jr. Still a great strategy and any other pet with a +500 HP attack can finish him off.

Mysgydid wrote on 2016-09-12 22:12:26

My Starlette wasn't quite enough to take out Stitches Jr. Jr. Each time he'd take Stitches down to 154 health, then die. So I added in my Darkmoon Tonk as a second, Ion Cannon and done.

Cricket wrote on 2016-09-12 21:15:15

I used eternal strider, instead of aqua and was also able to win by just using pump and an occasional heal (only after i switched mid fight to bring in leveling pet for his round).

Camille wrote on 2016-09-12 06:08:42

I also needed another pet to win the fight, though I had Stitches Jr. Jr. down to 30-something hp at that point, so it wasn't a big deal. Thanks for all your hard work here! :)

SomeEUPlayer wrote on 2016-09-12 05:49:16

For me, one pet wasn't sufficient to beat Stitches Jr. Jr. (I had a P/B Iron Starlette). I needed at least 2 pets with Wind-Up. Other pets with Wind-Up include Mechanical Chicken, Mechanical Scorpid, Enchanted Broom and both Nest Guardians.

Rienhilde wrote on 2016-09-12 02:37:06

Zoom works as a good second pet, for those who don't have a P/P Iron Starlette.

Slow and Steady does 1100 damage to Stitches Jr and will easily finish him off. You also need Zoom for one of the Critter achievements, so it's a good idea to get him to 25 ASAP anyway.
