1	Any Level 5+ Pet	Jessail	There is an inherent randomness to this fight, but i've minimized it as much as possible. I tried all of the strats on offer here, but none of them worked well for me, so i made my own. I used the basis of one of the other strats, and tried to improve on it. The TD script is set to auto forfeit the match if you dont kill the Owl in 3 turns. It usually does, but not always, and i noticed that when it didn't, the failure rate on the match was 90+ percent. With this method, i've donr around 20 matches, only 2 failed to kill the Owl and auto forfeited, all the others won (though that is a small sample size and i might just have gotten lucky). Also, Arcane Storm that the Owl uses is strong against Flying pets, so you'll probably need a level 5 or so leveling pet to survive it.	Level 5+ Script	2	4.6	23	77 1:17	11+

Rewrite of the script to allow for different breeds:
-----------------------------
if [enemy.aura(Toxic Smoke:639).exists]
use(282) [enemy.hp<730 & self.power=297]
use(282) [enemy.hp<701 & self.power=284]
use(282) [enemy.hp<726 & self.power=281]
endif
use(Explode:282) [enemy.hp.can_explode]
use(Clean-Up:456) [round=1]
use(Soulrush:752)
use(Storm Coil:1922) [self.round>1]
use(#1)
change(next)
-----------------------------
I have my level pet health set to >225 magic damage (226 minimum HP) to allow for crits. Also checked the all mech/magic pets. (edited)

Didn't worked for me either, script swapped to lvling pet in round 5 then swapped again to low lv one in round 10 when it was killed, script stopped prematurely when Flayer Youngling was pulled up to end the fight. To make it short, i won the fight by ending it manually but lost my chance to lvl a pet

I swapped the flayer for dibbler, h/p (though I doubt breed matters), using toxic smoke, drill charge, explode.

On turn that swaps flayer, you bring in dibbler instead.
Turn 2 > drill charge
turn 3 > toxic smoke
turn 4 > explode.

That gives full xp to the carry pet, did it a few times on different characters and worked well. You can remove the swap in of the carry pet with this as well, though I havent figured out the exacts yet for a script to get going.

I used a Scorpling S/S breed (beast) instead of the Flayer Youngling as I don't have that in S/S breed. It worked just as well.

It maybe is bether with Scorpling S/S than Flayer Youngling if you use Crouch before Rampage.

Thanks for the tip Jag!
I had a P/S Flayer Youngling and it was RNG if it died or won... switching to a S/S Scorpling which I just happened to have made this go a lot better.

I used Fragment of Anger 1/1/2 and Widget the Departed 1/1/2, as I had to use two undead pets with my Snowfeather Hatchling :) Did not even have to use the Snowfeather Hatchling other than the first hit and then switching it out for the quest.

As Jagûar suggested Scorpling S/S. I find this battle more safe with that pet.
Remember to select ability Crouch

TD Script for Scorpling S/S (or Flayer Youngling if you want to use that pet)

change(#3) [self(#2).active]
ability(Clean-Up:456) [round=1]
ability(Soulrush:752) [round=2]
ability(Crouch:165) [self.round=1]
ability(Rampage:124) [!self.aura(Attack Reduction:153).exists]
ability(#1)
change(#2)

^ This script uses Triple Snap instead of Rampage on Scorpling/Flayer Youngling which is much more susceptible to RNG.
If you change the second-last row to ability(#3) it'll use Rampage.

Worked perfectly fine using an Enchanted broom aswell instead of demidos and still bring a 5+ pet. =)

Broom worked really well, I used Clean Up, then Sandstorm and Broom as filler, then Clean Up on the rat before dying (can't remember whether I managed to get a Sandstorm in though). Then brought in lvl pet, then Flayer but Rampage didn't *quite* kill it and Flayer died so I finished the rat off with my lvl 8's Call Darkness

Took me a few tries but finally got it. I used a Hyjal Wisp as suggested by Jaconso since my Servant was green and a H/B Flayer. I did Sear Magic, Wish and then Arcane Blast until dead. I will say though that I tried bringing a lvl 6 white pet and that kept dying. A blue one didn't and got to 12 with just the hat on.

I needed 2 humanoids with the direbeak and couldn't get the other strat suggested here to work. I managed after many adjustments with Anubisath Idol 1,1,1 and Flayer Youngling 1,2,2 Direbeak 2,2,1. Started with crush then sandstorm to counteract the arcane storm. Time the deflect to come just before one of his big hits and refresh sandstorm when available. When anubisath dies bring in flayer youngling timing deflect to best effect, rampage when possible and blitz otherwise. I did need to bring my Direbeak in for one predatory strike to finish.

I'm 2/3 with this strategy Owl killed Servant of Demidos and it was downhill from there and Flayer was at 43 Health on last attempt so a crit away from another loss. I'll continue to use it until I have time to find a better leveling strat for this fight.

Healboy wrote on 2017-03-08 13:34:58

I'm 3/5 with this strategy. Flayer died on 4th and 5th try but on 5th my level 5 made the kill... which is luck more than strat. My Servant is Destruction and Flayer is Balance so not the recommended breed. I'll find a strat that works with what i got.

Direbeak Team Rumble Group that worked for me:
Wretched Servant 2-2-1
Flayer Youngling 2-2-2
Direbeak (didn't even use him but still got credit because he was on the team)
Round 1 Wild Magic
Round 2+ Nether Blast until the Owl is dead
After rat comes in Keep up wild magic and again Nether Blast until dead
then bring in Flayer Youngling and Rampage

You might be able to use weakness effectively with your servant but it didn't play out for me that way really because even under 50% the owl was still faster than my Servant (but the damage reduction did help).

tPaste wrote on 2017-02-28 00:55:58

Did a little more testing, definitely RNG prone based on how often the owl gets 3 quills, and the damage reduction of weakness definitely seems worth it for rounds when you know he'll quill...but this definitely can work.

Hyjal Wisp (2-2-1) in place of Servant of Demidos works too. Sear Magic, Arcane until dead. Had Wish there just in case, but didn't need to use it.

Works nicely, but I suggest to insert a Wish after the first arcane. If you don't it's lottery...
