Looks to be a reference to the owl of the same name from Disney's "A Sword in the Stone". (I almost thought it was supposed to reference the TF2 Medic's dove)

ARCHIMEDES! It's filthy in there!

Video of the battle here: Samm, Archimedes & Jahan - Daily Garrison Menagerie Pet Battle

The team I used was a Magic team with abilities focused against the Flying family.

This Flying family team has a buff called Birds of a Feather which at the outset seemed inherently strong, but I was able to defeat them with a bit of luck with the powerful Nexus Whelpling.

I started with the Lesser Voidcaller, and debuffed with his Drain Power and used a couple Nether Blast before he was dead. Then I went ahead and brought out my Nexus Whelpling and since the Menagerie team already cast Arcane Storm (thanks, Menagerie pets!) I was ready to just explode face with the extremely strong Mana Surge. As expected, it annihilated the poor birds and I came away with a win. I'm pretty sure the lucky crit that 1-shot Samm would not happen every time, though!

This fight is easily winnable with just 2 pets making it a great one to help level up other pets on. Using Chrominius, 112 and Nexus Whelpling, 222 this fight is an arcane breeze.

If it can soak the damage, start off with your booster pet, and right off the bat Jahan will cast Arcane Storm, which is advantageous later on. Switch to useing Chrominius and use Howl, following it up with Surge of Power, and say so long to Jahan. Next up, Samm will start pecking at you so as soon as Chrominius is done recovering, switch to Nexus Whelpling and immediately Mana Surge. The Arcane Storm from earlier will still be active and should 2 shot Samm. The last round of Mana Surge will hit Archimedes pretty hard, and if you have a pet in their haven't yet, switch in your boost pet here for a quick hit. After that switch back to Nexus Whelpling and cast Arcane Storm and it should make Archimedes Archimedie.

Comment by aBadger86

i used Mini Mindslayer to easily kill both Jahan and Samm and half Archimedes. First use Inner vision then mana surge to one shot Jahan. Then it will take 2 more turns to kill Samm. Once Achimedes comes out i used Life exchange and then swapped to Chrominius used howl and then Surge of Power to finish Achimedes. it worked for me 4 times in a row with no drama.

Comment by Helma

This fight is slightly RNG reliant due to the buff given to both players, a 50% crit chance increase across the board.
However, I found with these two pets it can be reliably beaten!
Emerald Proto-Whelp 2, 2, 2
Sprite-Darter Hatchling 2, 2, 1
The Nether Faerie Dragon can be used in place of the Sprite-Darter Hatchling due to having the same exact moveset.
Third is filler pet!

First is Jahan.
He has:
*Savage Talon
*Arcane Storm
*Tail Sweep
He'll start out by casting Arcane Storm due to being faster than your Emerald Proto-Whelp.
Cast Emerald Presence.
He'll then cast Savage Talon.
Simply Emerald Bite until Jahan is dead.

Next is Toucan Samm.
He has:
*Slicing Wind
*Rain Dance
*Predatory Strike
He'll start off by casting Rain Dance.
Cast Emerald Dream.
Next, cast Emerald Presence.
Cast Emerald Bite until Samm is dead.

Finally we have Archimedes.
He has:
*Quills
*Eyeblast
*Wild Magic
He'll start off by casting Wild Magic.
This is a good time to refresh Emerald Presence.
He'll cast Quills.
Depending on RNG, your Emerald Proto-Whelp will either survive this or die.
If he survives:
Cast Emerald Dream.
Bite until your dies or Archimedes dies.
If your Emerald Proto-Whelp dies, bring out your Sprite-Darter Hatchling or Nether Faerie Dragon.
Cast Moonfire.
Cast Arcane Blast till Archimedes dies.

***Note: This fight is slighty RNG reliant due to buff both parties receive. I've won five times and lost once with this strategy.

Comment by woofpuppy

My Emerald Proto-Whelp soloed the whole thing with Emerald Bite and Ancient Blessing. I had Chrominius as a backup but didn't need him.

Comment by 912650

Nether Faerie Dragon using Moonfire, Arcane Blast and Life Exchange will destroy these pets. Open with Moonfire, repeat Arcane Blast and use Life Exchange if life is low. You can solo all 3 and it is a blazing fast fight. If you are trying Legendary Pet Battler, you can repeat this fight as many times you as want, it will count, even if you already turned it in.

Comment by Atos

Hi well I just got this trio and I took my nexus whelpling

So I do arcane storm little did I know that the first guy does the same thing so that was a bit of a waste. I then went ahead and used Mana Surge. And that as they say was that. 3 hits 3 one shots on all 3 birds. So I guess if I just had used Mana Surge from the start the whole fight would have lasted 3 rounds instead of 4.

Hope this helps

Comment by seckid

This is a very reliable 2 pet strategy (with pet 10-25 leveling option)

I liked Helma's strat. I just wanted to add a leveling pet to the rotation and make it a little more resilient to RNG. There is a low RNG chance that anywhere through the fight, your emerald proto-whelp may die. If that happens, simply forfeit and reset. (edit: I ran this strat 11 times and died once. Your mileage may vary.) I have noticed that if your health gets below 300ish,Samm will kill you with predatory strike.

Note: if you only want to use two pets (no leveling pet) then just use Emerald Bite in turn 6 instead of swap. If the emerald proto-whelp dies at this point, it's ok.

Note: Sprite Darter Hatchling (2, 2, 1) may be used instead of Nether Faerie Dragon.
Note: Emerald Whelpling (2, 2, 2) may be used instead of Emerald Proto-Whelp
Note: I removed emerald presence from turn one to give you a free attack on Jahan. This seems to help keep the proto-whelp above the 300 health mark so Samm doesn't use predatory strike and wipe the run.

Pets used:

Emerald Proto-Whelp (2-Emerald Bite, 2-Emerald Presence, 2-Emerald Dream)
Nether Faerie Dragon (2-Arcane Blast, 2-Life Exchange, 1-Moonfire)
Leveling pet (lvl 10-25 must be able to survive through ~500-600 damage)

Jahan:

Turn 1: 1a,1b,1c, etc: Emerald Bite until Jahan is dead. (usually 2 hits)

Samm:

Turn 2: Emerald Presence
Turn 3: Emerald Dream
Turn 4: 4a, 4b, 4c, etc: Emerald bite until Samm is dead

Archimedes:

Turn 5: Emerald Bite (this will take archie to about 500-800 health)
Turn 6: Swap to leveling pet (archie will beat on your pet for around 500-600 damage)
Turn 7: Swap to Nether Faerie Dragon
Turn 8: Moonfire (archie is dead)

Turn 9: /dance

Comment by auschameleon

I used an Arcane Eye, Nordrassil Wisp and had a Jade Oozeling as backup I didn't need.
The first cast by enemy team is Arcane Winds, so my Eye used Mana Surge which wiped out the first pet and almost finished off second.
(Eye dies here)
Bought in wisp, Arcane explosion finished off second mob and did damage on third, flash and light and I was done.

Comment by Yelmurc

A few things I've found out using a P/P Emerald Proto-Whelp to deal with these guys. Also my strategy to farm levels while eliminating most RNG losses.

This information is also only useful for the P/P Emerald Proto-Whelp.

Emerald Proto-Whelp (P/P) (Previously stated,)
Emerald Bite, Ancient Blessing

Nexus Whelpling (P/P) (Can use ANY magical ability pet here)
Mana Surge

Any leveling pet with at least 250 hp.
(NO health requirement if it's Mechanical or Magic)

Now, here's my strategy to eliminate most RNG losses.

When you open the fight with your Emerald Proto-Whelp. Jahan starts off by using Arcane Storm. This is why we need a Leveling Pet with any of those requirements.

Simply counter with Emerald Bite. If Jahan is below 50% HP, which activated Dragonkin, you are free to use Emerald Bite again for a near certain kill.

If you do not activate Dragonkin with your first strike then you need to use Ancient Blessing.

Follow up with Emerald Bite until Jahan dies.

If you are below 400 Health when Samm enters the fray. You will die instantly. This is why we have to use Ancient Blessing if you are unable to get Jahan under 50% with the first strike.

Else,

You should be above 600 Health and fine, Samm should waste his first turn using Rain Dance. Lay into him with a Emerald Bite

The only way you'll die is if he gets three strikes with Slicing Wind on his second turn. Which you'll still of torn off most of Samm's health with your first Emerald Bite.

Regardless.

Simply demolish him with two Emerald Bite.

The next part of countering RNG comes based on if you have Dragonkin when Archimedes enters. If you do, you have the potential to one shot him with a Emerald Bite.

Obviously we want to avoid this, So if you DO NOT have Dragonkin activated, use Emerald Bite. You will have Archimedes around 50%. If you DO have Dragonkin, Simply pass. If Emerald Proto-Whelp lives past the first Emerald Bite, or if you passed because you had Dragonkin. You need to die or use Emerald Bite now if you previously passed.

This causes your Emerald Proto-Whelp to collapse. Simply swap to your leveling pet, then immediately swap to your backup magic dealer. In my case, my Nexus Whelpling.

From this point on It's a simple matter of a Mana Surge to end the fight. If you're using another magic pet. Use anything you like.

Surge of Power is wonderful if you don't have a dragonkin with Mana Surge. If you use Surge of Power Be sure Archimedes is low enough to be killed by it.

Comment by zeldak0

So, I managed to kill this entire lineup with only a wounded Nether Faerie Dragon.

Seriously. Try it.

Magic type moves will wreck them because they're flying type, and because it's a dragon type, their flying type moves are weak to it.

Comment by cassiadawn

My team for this was an arcane eye (psychic blast, n/a, mana surge), a nexus whelpling (n/a, mana surge, n/a), and a nether fairie dragon (arcane blast, n/a, n/a) as backup. Use the eye's mana surge on the first turn, and with a little RNG luck the first 2 rounds of mana surge kills Jahan, and the third takes Samm down about 1/2 way. Cast arcane blast once, and that should finish off Samm. Switch in the Nexus whelpling when Archimedes comes out and cast mana surge again. Sometimes that's enough to finish off Archimedes, other times the whelpling dies and the nether fairie dragon has to come in to finish up with arcane blast.

My arcane eye was actually only lvl 20, and my whelpling lvl 19 when I started this strategy, and I was able to use it to level them both to lvl 25 (handy having the NPC right there to heal battle pets over and over!) This is also why I didn't battle the Eye to death before switching to the whelpling, as I was trying to keep them both alive as much as possible to lvl.

Comment by KallePHP

This fight is extremely easy if you have a Nexus Whelpling at hand (My breed was P/P).

For this fight my Nexus Whelpling was using the following abilities:

I had an Arcane Eye as backup pet with the following abilities:

Another viable alternative is the Viscidus Globule with the following abilities:

The main reason why we use a Dragonkin is that it is a pet that takes less damage from flying and have magic abilities: Dragonkin.

First off Jahan will start out by using Arcane Storm, since it will go first then start by using Mana Surge from your Nexus Whelpling, this will kill Jahan in 2 rounds, should do even if not a P/P breed or with non critical strikes.

Second off Samm will come out, if you were lucky and killed Jahan in just 2 rounds, then the first hit here should take almost half of its health. If that is the case then the dragonkin ability: Dragonkin will proc and you should be able to use Tail Sweep once or twice and kill it.

Should your Nexus Whelpling die, then switch in your backline pet, as mentioned earlier I used a Arcane Eye.

When Archimedes comes in, instantly use Mana Surge which should be enough, if you are stuck with some bad RNG then use Focused Beams (or Drain Power first 1 or 2 hits won't kill it).

If your Nexus Whelpling is still alive, then chances are that Mana Surge is still on cooldown, so continue to use Tail Sweep until it dies and you can switch in your backline pet.

Comment by Psynatron

Archimedes, Samm, Jahan - (Flying, Flying, Flying)

This fight is very easy with this combo and you will even be able to lvl up your pets to 25 in under 10 minutes if you repeat the fight!
Use Nexus Whelpling and Celestial Dragon or 2 Nexus Whelpling's. The 3. pet you are gonna use is whatever pet you want but it has to be atleast lvl 3!

This is how the battle goes:
1. Nexus Whelpling meets Jahan. Use Mana Surge. This should kill him.
2. Nexus Whelpling meets Samm. If he dosnt die from your Mana Surge then use Arcane Storm. This should kill him.
3. Archimedes will now face you. Switch to your lvl 3 pet before Archimedes attacks! After Archimedes attacks switch to your Celestial Dragon.
4. Now just kill Archimedes with Arcane Storm and Moonfire.
Now do the fight a couple of times more to get your pet to lvl 25.
Use Pet Treat and/or Lesser Pet Treat to lvl up your pets even faster!

Comment by picklelover83

For the bird trio of Jahan, Archimedes, and Samm:

Since I didn't have some of the other pets that have proven successful, I've found the best pets for me to use are level 25 Nether Faerie Dragon and Arcane Eye, which leaves a spot open for a leveling pet or Elekk Plushie.

Your first pet can be any pet you wish to level. The only requirement is they have enough health to take a couple AoE hits from Arcane Storm...I've thrown in some that are as low as level 14 in order to have them gain a few levels in the win. Just pick any spell to use and if it actually hits, bonus! Switch to Nether Faerie Dragon; use Life Exchange. Use Arcane Blast until your pet is dead. (DO NOT USE MOONFIRE, because it will change the current weather!) Swap in Arcane Eye, use Drain Power. Then Mana Surge (which gets bonus damage due to Arcane Winds being active) and enjoy the win!

UPDATE: As of 12/27/14, this still works. In rare cases you may need to be lucky with the RNG, but I've had success about 99% of the time with this team and method.

Comment by oedura

Blew through them with no problem with a Nordrassil Wisp (Light, Flash, Arcane Explosion), an Arcane Eye (Psychic Blast, Drain Power, Mana Surge), and an Emerald Whelpling (Emerald Bite, Moonfire, Tranquility).

Jahan: Start with Wisp. Cast Flash, Light, then Arcane Explosion until dead. In the event that Jahan kills Wisp, finish off with Arcane Eye's Psychic Blast.

Samm / Archimedes: Samm will kill Wisp, if it's not dead already. Bring in Arcane Eye. Cast Drain Power, then Mana Surge. Mana Surge should obliterate both Samm and Archimedes.

Have tested this several times now, haven't needed the Whelpling even once.

Comment by Tie35

I used Chrominius, Nexus Whelpling and Rapana Whelk ( that I didn't need). Just tank and spank easy fight with the first 2 pets. Chrominius first with Howl and surge of power will one shot Jahan. After your surge of power recover is over you arcane explosion until you die. Then switch to the whelpling and toss out arcane storm and a few mana surge and the rest is history. Easy kills...

***IF YOU BRING IN A LEVELING PET AND SWAP IN AFTER CHROMINIUS DIES...you can level your pets quite easily. I havent brought in lower than a 22 so far.

This strategy doesn't ALWAYS work... but It has only failed me twice in 10 battles.

Comment by 1414372

I have found the best Team so far to be

Any Mechanical Leveling Pet Lvl 1 or Any Non-Aquatic Pet with more than 400hp
Chrominius
Nexus Whelpling

Round One: Leveling Pet (Mechanical lvl 1 will die but resurrect or any Non-Aquatic Pet with more than 400hp)
Round Two Swap in Chrominius
Round Three: Howl
Round Four: Surge of Power (Jahan Dies) if Chrominius Dies before Surge Skip to Round Six
Round Five: Chrominius Dies
Round Six: Swap in Nexus Whelpling
Round Seven Thru Nine: Mana Surge (Samm Will Die and Archimedes will be at -50%)
Round Ten: Arcane Storm (Archimedes dies)

Now this is not perfect if the RNG don’t go your way but it works 90% of the time.
I leveled 5 Mechanicals to lvl 20 in about 20 minutes

Comment by 1410346

Emerald Proto Drake - Emerald Presence, Emerald Bite until Jahan is dead (bring in Chrominius)
Chrominius - Howl, Surge of Power - Samm is dead, Archimedes comes in (try to get off a howl onto Archimedes (but will unlikely happen) bring in Sunreaver Micro-Sentry when Chrominius dies))
Sunreaver Micro-Sentry - Supercharge, Laser - Archimedes is dead

my emerald proto drake was P,P and lvl 23, boosted him to lvl 24 after one fight, did the same fight as above again to get him to lvl 25 (was wearing Safari Hat only)

Comment by Mullygrubb

Mully's 100% Leveling Strats. 70% of the time, it works every time!

Jahan, Samm & Archimedes - revised

So this fight is a RNG nightmare thanks to the stupid 'Birds of a Derper' buff they have. Some battles, Nether Faerie Dragon would solo all 3 bosses, and others he would die at Jahan... In any case, this is the least RNG effected strat I came across.

You'll need the following:
Nexus Whelpling P/P
Chrominius H/H
Leveling Pet - 234+ hp is recommended but 2-3 restarts will get your level 1 through without dying (more for Flying types obv)

Jahan >
R1- Go Nexus Whelpling > Mana Surge - Jahan Dies

Samm >
R1- Mana Surge continues...
R2- Tail Sweep - if required

Archimedes >
R1- Tail Sweep - Until Nexus Whelpling dies
R2 - Go Leveling Pet > Don't cast anything, swap out immediately.
R3 - Go Chrominius > Surge of Power

My aim here is to develop solid strats so as to utilise and benefit from the massive XP gains these fights offer, whilst carrying pets as low level as possible.
If you have an improvement suggestion for this or any of my other strats please leave a comment, keeping in mind I won't be making strats for single-boss fights due to the lack of bonus XP.

My other managerie-boss leveling strats:
Manos, Hanos & Fatos
Brutus & Rukus

Comment by tenterflex

This is a simple two pet strategy allowing for a carry pet to gain a considerable amount of XP. This strategy is slightly RNG dependant - I have highlighted where RNG may cause the strategy to fail, and what to do if this is the case. However I personally have had a high level of success with this strategy and levelled several carry pets to 25.

Thanks to aBadger86's original guide which was the basis for this guide.

Your team:
Mini Mindslayer
Chrominius
Any carry pet with over 200 health (It will always take one hit in the back row from Jahan's Arcane Storm)

The strategy:
Start off with Mini Mindslayer's Inner Vision then use Mana Surge. Jahan should die in one hit - if not, surrender, heal, and start again.

Samm will enter the playing field, and your Mini Mindslayer's Mana Surge will continue for two more rounds and kill Samm - if not, surrender, heal, and start again.

Archimedes will enter the playing field. Use Life Exchange and then pass until your Mini Mindslayer dies. I have tried everything and due to cooldowns there is no way to get an attack off before dying, so I find just passing speeds the whole process up.

Swap in your carry pet (it will take no damage), then immediately swap in Chrominius.

Use Surge of Power (Howl should not be required) to finish off Archimedes, and voilà - you're done.

Comment by 1207203

I easily beat him with my Azure Whelpling and Dark Whelpling I had a third pet in but was never used.

Comment by 1079466

Solo'd it with Nexus Whelpling

Cast priority:
Mana Surge if Arcane Storm is up > Arcane Storm > Tail Sweep

> > > See the video @ YouTube < < <

Due to Birds of a Feather the RNG can be unforgiving at times. I originally had Arcane Eye for backup and then a carry pet. I actually killed all three before I had a chance to swap in my carry pet. Two Nexus Whelplings and a carry pet could farm this all day. I leveled 10 pets from 10 to 25 and learned that all you really need to do is cast Mana Surge.

XP Farming:
This worked rather quickly and reliably for me. Carried pets need to have about 1000hp+ just incase Jahan's Arcane Storm crits the back line twice. I suggest using two Nexus Whelplings (P/P) because one will likely die soon after switching in. Most pets with Mana Surge will work well for a backup; just avoid aquatic pets due to flying abilities and magic pets against Jahan. Mini Mindslayer, Arcane Eye, Mana Wyrmling, and Shimmering Wyrmling are good backup pets as well; experiment with what works best for you. It was definitely worth going to Northrend to farm a second Nexus Whelpling (P/P) for me.

Round 1: (You can do this 1-2 times depending on the carry pet level. The closer you get Jahan to 1000hp the better. Try not to swap your pet with less than 500hp left.)
Carry Pet : Cast any ability
Jahan : Arcane Storm

Round 2:
Carry Pet : Switch Pet to Nexus Whelpling
Jahan : Savage Talon

Round 3: (Jahan may die at this point)
Nexus Whelpling : Mana Surge 1/3
Jahan : Savage Talon

Round 4:
Nexus Whelpling : Mana Surge 2/3 (your pet will probably die at this point bring in another pet with Mana Surge)
Jahan : Tail Sweep

Round 5: (Jahan should die if not already dead)
Nexus Whelpling : Cast Mana Surge 1/3
Jahan : Arcane Storm

Round 6: (Samm should die, if not finish him next round)
Nexus Whelpling : Mana Surge 2/3
Samm : Rain Dance or Predatory Strike

Round 7: (Archimedes should die from the third Mana Surge, if not finish him with Arcane Storm)
Nexus Whelpling : Mana Surge 3/3
Archimedes: Wild Magic

I hope this helps, if so, please upvote.

For quick leveling of a pet:

This works most of the time and is quite fast, barring some unlucky non-crits, even when this happens you can tweak it abit on the go. Tho the general outline is below.

Prerequisites:
Nexus Whelpling x 2
Leveling pet with more than 234 hitpoints, this is to survive the Arcane Storm from Jahan that crits most of the time.

Abilities for the Nexus Whelplings
- Frost Breath
- Mana Surge
- Arcane Storm

----
Jahan enters the arena first.

As he starts with Arcane storm himself you should go directly to Mana Surge to reap the bonus.
- Mana Surge, Jahan dies and Samm swaps in, and is usually close to death on end of Mana Surge.
- Arcane Storm, If Samm's still alive, add a Frostbreath.

When Samm dies.

Swap in leveling pet.
Swap in 2nd Nexus Whelpling

- Mana Surge and just wait to get the XP.
----

So summed up: 2,3,(1),Swap to leveling, Swap to 2nd Whelp, 2.

Reap the XP have fun.

It's as simple as this:

Comment by kishkon

Not sure if this is gonna get seen but to make other people life easier leveling pets I'll give you my tip which no one else said. I spent 2 hours of pet treats leveling pets today here so it's working great 95% of the time due to RNG:

All you need is a Nexus Whelping like said above and my addition any pet with explode, I used Darkmoon Zeppelin.

Use Nexus Whelping first:
Mana Surge
Arcane Storm
Usually 1 Tail Sweep, you may need a 2nd most of the time you won't.
Next turn or 2 you pass until the Whelping dies.

Get exploding pet out, use explode and your leveling pet gets the EXP without ever needing to be switched in!

*With some pets you may want to level them past 1 before fighting, I just use the seagull next to the fishing shack.

Comment by parrydox

Here is a super quick and easy way to use this fight to take most level 1 pets with 157+ health (assuming Arcane Storm doesn't crit; 106+ for mechanical, 236+ for flying) all the way to level 25 in approximately 15-20 minutes. The success rate at level 1 is about 40%. If your leveling pet dies after the first step then forfeit, utilize Lio the Lioness's revive pets ability, and try again. As soon as you have a successful fight your level 1 pet will be granted 7 levels and the success rate increases to 90%.

Edit: This used to give some mad xp, but has since been nerfed. There is still a small amount of xp rewarded, however, you're better off doing the Draenor Battle Pet Dailies for those rewards. It still makes a helpful lineup, though, for anyone short on battle pets.

Your lineup will be as follows:

Chrominius: 212
Leveling pet w/ 157+ health (106+ for mechanical, 236+ for flying)
Nexus Whelpling: 222

Process:

Howl with Chrominius (If your level 1 pet dies as a result of an Arcane Storm crit, then revive and try again)
Surge of Power, wait through recovery/recharge
Arcane Explosion as many times as you can before Chrominius dies (the objective here is 1. to not sacrifice a turn by swapping and as a result keeping your lowbie pet alive, and 2. to cause as much damage to Archimedes on the back line as possible before dying since Samm will negate any damage you do with Rain Dance)
Once Chrominius dies swap to your leveling pet (don't worry, he won't take any more damage)
IMMEDIATELY swap to Nexus Whelpling
Arcane Storm (yes, even if Arcane Winds is still active. this is a fail-safe and will ultimately cause more damage in the end)
Mana Surge
Revive and repeat

Success rate is about 90%. Failure happens when there is a crit or two on your Nexus Whelpling. Easy peasy.

Comment by Saelydera

I used Trunks and he was able to 1 shot all of them with "When Elekks Fly" once Moonfire was used.

Comment by JasperKazai

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but I get this quite a bit. Archimedes' Quills ability sometimes takes forever to hit - specifically the third quill (if it gets to that point). First two will hit normally and then the third just stalls in the air for a good 10 seconds before actually doing damage. Twice it has happened where it actually takes so long that the pet battle just ends. My pets are still alive and Archimedes is still alive; it just ends with no message. No idea why this happens.

Comment by Felidire

Mini Mindslayer is absolutely hilarious in this matchup. Using Amplify Magic, followed by Mana Surge; if you get a crit on the last of the three, there's a good chance you'll have swept through the match with a single pet.

Comment by ilostmahbucket

Carry any level 1. Powerlevel pets 1-25 in 8-10 minutes over and over, some of the fastest powerleveling available.
Jahan, Samm, and Archimedes should be your favorite birds! We can fight them and heal from our pet master as many times as we want. I've powered 50+ 1-25's from these birds.

A. Carry any level 1.
Umbrafen Spore - 222, (it's only S/S breed), use 15 Pet Charms to upgrade to rare. Pet found in Shadowmoon Valley on mushroom at 55.8, 20.0.
Nexus Whelpling - 122, P/P preferred breed but P/S or P/B are fine. Don't waste time farming, use 15 Pet Charms to upgrade to rare. (Pet found in western Borean Tundra of Northrend, in Coldarra island. If you plan to powerlevel using strategy below, worth it to grab/level/upgrade two. Realm hop with custom raid finder to find more.)

Round 1: Umbrafen Spore's Blinding Powder.
Round 2: Swap to Nexus Whelpling.
Round 3: Mana Surge.

1. Potentially use Arcane Storm to finish Samm. If whelp dies to RNG before Samm dies restart.
2. Swap in level 1 when Archimedes comes out, eat Wild Magic debuff.
3. Swap to Umbrafen Spore. If you're faster when it's your turn: blinding powder, creeping fungus, explode. If slower & whelp can finish: explode. Else restart.
~50% success over 50+ attempts. Even if you have terrible RNG, with wins or losses taking <60s this is still a VERY fast way to level pets 1-10.

B. Powerlevel pets 1-25 in 8-10 minutes over and over. Almost 100% win in 4-5 buttons in as low as <60s per fight.
Once pets are high enough level to soak Jahan's arcane storm, which they 100% will be if you used the above strategy, carrying is FAST. If not using above strategy, to soak regular or critical hits respectively, fliers need at least: 235 hp, 352 hp, all others need at least 157 hp, 235 hp (or are mechanical/magic)
There are some tiny percentage variables that affect ability order, IE eating 6 crits in a row or failing to get a crit 6 attacks in a row, but it doesn't merit nitpicking.
I'm assuming you use 10% xp Safari Hat+ 50% xp Pet Treat (from Taming the World + 10 Pet Charms).

Two Nexus Whelplings, 122, rare: mana surge, (arcane storm if Samm not dead), swap leveler in when Archimedes comes out and eat Wild Magic, swap out to 2nd Whelp immediately, mana surge.

Tip: Do carry strategy A for each pet you want to level to 25, then carry strategy B once they've all been bumped up in level.

Take care!

Comment by TaliaMokani

My Mini Mindslayer is only lvl 11 (I tried him anyway, it wasn't enough), and the only other pet I have at lvl 25 among all those in nearly every guide below is Chrominius. (I don't even have Nexus Whelpling, let alone have it at 25!) The crit buff in this fight makes any team unreliable and RNG-dependent, IMO, but I got it done on 3 toons with:

Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling 2, 2, 2
Dread Hatchling 2, 1, 1
Chrominius 2, 1, 2

Rounds 1 and 2 below may be unnecessary; I figured I'd use MPD for some damage while I had him out, but it may work just as well to start with Decoy and swap. Rather than work with the weather, as most plans above, I change the weather.

R1. Flyby
R2. Thunderbolt
R3. Decoy
R4. Swap to Hatchling

R5. Call to Darkness
R6. Nocturnal Strike

Jahan usually dies at this point. If not, just keep on truckin'.

R7+. Shadow Talon spam
(repeat Call to Darkness and Nocturnal Strike if they come off cooldown while Hatchling is still alive, and one more ST won't finish it off)

This deals a lot of damage, and will often take care of Samm, if not the entire rest of the fight.

If/when your Hatchling dies (I didn't need it the first time, but did the second two), swap in Chrominius and:

If it will finish the fight: Surge of Power
Otherwise: Arcane Explosion
Howl if it will help, health depending

Comment by doncole78

This is my power leveling setup (thanks to odrok for my variation).

1. Nexus Whelpling (1/2/2)
2. Chrominius (2/1/2)
3. Leveling pet (level 1 Magic or Mechanical, flying must be able to survive 234 at least, others 156).

Round 1 - 3: Mana Surge . This should take out Jahan and severely damage Samm.
Round 4: Arcane Storm . Takes out Samm. If Samm isn't dead, use tail sweep. If Whelpling dies, use Chrominius with Arcane explosion.
Round 5: Archimedes comes in. Swap in Leveling pet
Round 6: Swap in Chrominius
Round 7: Surge of Power. If anything went awry and Arch isn't damaged enough use howl then Surge.

Works for me with Nexus (P/S) and Chrominius (H/H). Pretty much so far working for me every time and just a few times have to use the adjustments I listed when RNG doesn't like you.

Comment by fuppylodders

It is very possible to level 2 pets at the same time. I used my lvl 20 Nexus whelpling first, and hit mana surge. This 2 shot Jahan. Then, surprisingly, the third mana surge 1-shot samm (due to Jahans Arcane Winds causing extra damage).
Swapped over to Chrominius to finish the battle with Howl and then Surge of Power. Before I swapped to Chrominius, I could have swapped in another levelling pet... but this was my first attempt.

RNG does play a little bit in here though...

Might I add, this is EXCELLENT for levelling up dragonkin pets!

*edit*

Nexus Whelpling at lvl 25 can pretty much solo all 3 pets. This current match I am on, he could if I left him in there. But I'm pet levelling :P

*Edited edit*
Providing you let the Nexus Whelpling die, you can level a pet from (currently my lowest try) lvl 13 (dragonkin).

, and are flying opponents, making them ideal for leveling your pets. I have a pet leveled within 7 minutes to level 25. But! The leveling pet must be at least at level 3, because makes AOE.

My choosen team:

Nexus Whelpling - "all the same", Mana Surge and Arcane Storm
Leveling pet (LV 3+)
Chrominius - "all the same","all the same" and Surge of Power

Start with Nexus Whelpling.

Because changes the weather to Arcane Winds at the beginning, this is of
1. Mana Surge
benefit and hits twice. Nexus Whelpling dies and Samm enter the fight. it happens that the Mana Surge can not resist too.
2. Arcane Storm
Latest here has also been plucked and Archimedes enter the fight.
3. switch to leveling pet
4. switch to Chrominius
5. Surge of Power
and the fight is history. Pet Battle Power Leveling --- LV 3 to 25 in 7 minutes

Comment by DukeDoom

A Nether Faerie Dragon (2,2,1) with speed>280 can handily solo this fight. Trying to level a pet alongside it is more difficult, and you may want another dragon with magic attacks with you to support that. I used a Nexus Whelpling.

Comment by 1447509

I only got 77 exp for my lv. 2 carry pet this morning... ugh. Thanks, Blizzard.

Comment by Hopelesshobo

It would appear that as of 6.1, you no longer get decent XP, I had a level 17 and a level 23 leveling pets I was using and they got 85 and 53 xp respectively.

Comment by gothicangel8

Some of my friends are starting to get into pet battles since they have made it easier with the instant 25 token and the menagerie nerf. Even with the nerf, they still have a limited number of pets to choose from and may not have the right combination for each daily battle. To try to help them out, I decided to go out into the world and catch new pets for the daily to show them it's possible.

For Jahan, Samm, and Archimedes, I used a Nordrassil Wisp, Nexus Whelpling, and had Oily Slimeling for back-up. I captured the first common or better that I came across for the wisp and whelpling and used the slimeling that I already had in my log. Here was my team:

Nexus Whelpling (P/P) - in Coldarra, uncommon, level 19 after capture
Nordrassil Wisp (S/B) - in Hyjal, uncommon, level 21 after capture
Oily Slimeling (H/H) - in Borean Tundra, common, level 20 after capture, only used this guy as back-up because I already had him

My strategy was:

1. Start with wisp. Use Flash and Light on cooldown, Arcane Explosion as filler.
2. Nexus Whelpling after wisp dies, Mana Surge should finish them off.
3. If nexus whelp dies from bad RNG, Oily Slimeling has 3 abilities that are good against fliers. I never had to use the slimeling though, so I don't know the details of how it would work.

I was able to repeat the results several times. I hope this helps any new pet battlers out there. Good Luck!

Comment by carmekino

Took maybe 5 minutes. If you have the pets below, they are fairly good to defeat these feathery friends!

Nordrassil Wisp - 21 Uncommon
Flash, Light, Arcane Explosion(x2), Flash - Jahan Dies
Light, Arcane Explosion - Nordrassil Wisp dies

Lil' Tarecgosa - 25 Rare
Surge of power - One shot Samm
(recovering so you can't fight back and will die)

Emerald Proto-Whelp - 25 Rare
Breath, Flying, Ancient Blessing, Breath Archimedes dies

Comment by LoqueNahak

Easily soloable with just 1x Sprite Darter Hatchling (2-2-1), I finishing the last fight with 50% life. Now that 6.1 patch removed any experience for carry pets... this is a fast way to deal with this trio.

Comment by 1265606

patch 6.1.0

strategy pet levelling is obsolete in 6.1.0, XP is extremely nerfed now got 60-90xp for fight. unhappy day for battle pet :(

Comment by TangentOrange

Solo'd handily with Fragment of Anger (1-1-1) 1st try after using Ultimate Battle-Training Stone on it & having never fought with it before.

Led with Soulrush (didn't get the stun), then Spiritfire Beam, then spammed Spiritfire Bolt. Finished with over 50% health. Made several attempts, rearranging the spell order - worst case scenario Fragment of Anger dies on Archimedes & resurrects long enough to get the kill.

Comment by 1225845

Ethereal Soul-Trader can solo entire group easily. Soulrush on cool down and spam beam.

Comment by kevoras

After the nerf, P/P Nexus Whelpling can solo this fight in 3 rounds with some lucky crits. Just press Mana Surge.
If that isn't enough, the Arcane Storm finishes the job.

Comment by 155099

H/H Oily Slimeling
P/S Infinite Whelpling
Corefire Imp

It took me several tries to get these guys, as my first comp won by pure RNG and failed the next ten times I tried (a fluxfire feline, 'lil deathwing, and terrible turnip I believe). I have fewer than 10 level 25 pets right now so my selection is pretty bad.

Open with expunge and corrosion, then absorb for some healing. First pet is usually dead by now and I can expunge again, then corrosion, and a couple absorbs. If the NPC doesn't get some lucky crits in, the slimeling can kill the first two pets on its own, or have the second one near death before switching out.

I moved to my Infinite Whelpling at this point. Weakness to reduce damage, then early advantage. Sometimes I get the bonus damage with early advantage depending on rng. Follow up with weakness again to keep damage taken minimized, and hit with sleeping gas or tailsweep. Should be plenty to take out the last pet.

Once I got this comp, I didn't even use the Corefire Imp at all.

Comment by summertree

I did this one with a rare level 24 H/P Nether Faerie Dragon.

Round 1:
Jahan cast Arcane Storm, which dealt 118 to my NFD, 177 (crit) on back row pet 1, and 118 on back row pet 2. Weather set to Arcane Winds.
I cast Moonfire, which crit for 879 and set the weather to Moonlight.

Round 2:
Tail Sweep hit me for 266.
I cast Arcane Blast for 563.

Round 3:
Tail Sweep hit me for 266.
I cast Arcane Blast for 516, which killed Jahan.

Round 4:
Samm cast Rain Dance, which healed for 0.
I cast Arcane Blast for 939.

Round 5:
Samm crit on Slicing Wind, which hit for 150.
I crit Arcane Blast for 968, which killed Samm.

Round 6:
Archimedes cast Wild Magic on me.
I cast Arcane Blast for 939.

Round 7:
Archimedes crit with Quills for 243, and hit with 162.
I crit Arcane Blast for 968, which killed Archimedes.

This earned me 54 xp, and a Big Bag of Pet Supplies (level 3 Menagerie.)

Comment by SligSentinels

*6.1 Nerf* 4 to 5 round solo pet strat:

Pet to use:

Nexus Whelpling: Arcane Storm > Mana Surge

The Fight:

Round 1: Arcane Storm
Round 2: Mana Surge
Round 3: Mana Surge (Auto Continues)
Round 4: Mana Surge (Auto Continues)
Round 5: Arcane Storm (Round 5 is only sometimes necessary)

Note: This is an easy to capture wild pet. Also, it is used to solo another menagerie encounter The Beakinator. So I would highly recommend acquiring it asap.

Comment by Cinlailiel

This fight is easily solo'd by my Chrominius, maybe if you're unlucky you need one extra pet.

Started with Howl, arcane explosion until the first two are dead using howl when it's off of cool down (not when the enemy is almost dead though) and then surge of power the last guy dead. Win.

EDIT: Beat them again on my alt and they got some lucky crits on my Chrominius so he died on the second pet. Still, easily two pet with any pet that has some magic ability (I used my Azure Whelpling).

Comment by Shar2000

This can also be solo'd with a restless shadling simply spamming arcane blast if you don't happen to have any of the above listed dragonkin's lying around.

Comment by geekygirlish

They seemed to have nerfed the huge pet bonus for just swapping in and out. This trio was my go to pet leveler with Nexus Whelpling and Chrominius. But leveling pet only gets a small boost now where before it jumped several levels. Ahh Blizz, you found out the loop hole!

Comment by 999266

Archimedes, Samm, Jahan:
1. Chrominius: Arcane Explosion, Any, Any
2. Nexus Whelpling: Any, Mana Surge, Arcane Storm
3. Any / Not Needed

Start with Chrominius:
-Use Arcane Explosion until Chrominius is dead
Swap to Nexus Whelpling:
-Use Mana Surge
-Use Arcane Storm (if needed)

Comment by thulsadoom

25 Rare Azure Whelpling (Breath, Arcane Storm, Surge of Power)
25 Rare Onyxian Whelpling (Tail Sweep, Scorched Earth, Deep Breath)
21 Rare Fjord Worg Pup (Flurry, Howl, Dazzling Dance)

Open with Azure Whelpling and Arcane Storm followed by Surge of Power. Jahan dies. Swap to Pup, Howl. Swap to Onyxian Whelpling. Tail Sweep till Samm dies. Deep breath. Archimedes dies.

11 rounds. Fjord Worg Pup gains a whopping 68 XP. Like other battles, the XP was nerfed in this one too in the 6.1 release.

Comment by 1409733

solo'd with sprite darter hatchling. open with moonfire and spam arcane blast. use life exchange when 3rd pet starts.

Comment by Angelhearth

Try your luck and go with Nexus Whelpling.

Start with Mana Surge
Jahan will go first and start with Arcane Storm saving you 1 round.
Jahan dies on Mana Surge and Samm comes out.
Your next Mana Surge kills Samm and Archimedes comes out.
Your last Mana Surge finishes the fight.

This is all up to RNG, but if you do the fight with the Nexus Whelpling first, it's worth a try or two.

Comment by 142303

I solo'd this using only one pet. It worked 100% of the time I did it on 5 characters.

Pet required: Netherspawn, Spawn of Netherspawn (drops from rare in Nagrand) with 1-2-2.

Feel free to fill other slots with leveling pets or backup pets if needed.

Strat is very basic. Start with Expunge followed by Nether Blast until Expunge is off cooldown.

Repeat until dead.

Easy win :)

Comment by Bloodlus

Easy to do with this tactic https://youtu.be/rdWiC9vO9n4

Comment by 650181

Solo-able by Level 25 Lil' Tarecgosa (2,1,1)

Round 1: Arcane Storm
Round 2: Surge of Power (If you crit, first pet will die)
Round 3: Arcane Storm
Round 4: Arcane Blast
Round 5: Arcane Blast (Second pet will die)
Round 6: Arcane Blast (If you crit, third pet will die, Otherwise use Surge of Power again to finish the last pet off.

Goodluck.

Comment by 1425871

6.1 Solo with Anubisath Idol

Comment by 1412725

Sentinel's Companion totally demolishes Archimedes, Jahan and Samm (or whatever its name was). Did not have to switch to another pet at all for the six times I did the daily today.

There was maybe one time my Companion almost died but pulled through.

Comment by Orual

I solo this team with Nordrassil Wisp, 2-1-2. Use Flash followed by Light whenever they cool down, otherwise just spam Arcane Explosion.

Comment by MeekaArch

Good morning :)

Just finished this fight. I used

Dread Hatchling~(lvl 22 Nether Faerie Dragon) and Nordrassil Wisp

Started with DH and Shadow Talon, Call Darkness and dead after only the 2nd round with Jahan.

Kept DH with Samm and used Shadow Talon and Nocturnal Strike- dead

For Archimedes i switched to NFD to get xp, started with Arcane Blast, then Moonfire, then switched to Wisp -used Light and Arch died.

Hope this helps and good luck :)

Comment by evilash1

i use two pets that has mana surge.

Arcane eye. what ever, what ever, mana surge
Nexus whelpling. what ever, mana surge, what ever

1. Mana surge
switch to Nexus whelpling
2. mana surge. done

short and easy fight, so far it has never failed.

Comment by Uncleoyster

Using only my Nether Faerie Dragon I made quick work of this team. It's a Dragonkin, which comes in pretty handy.
On this fight you're all buffed with Birds of a Feather, so chances are you'll crit a lot but (hopefully) they won't. Should the RNG be not in your favour, Life Exchange is nice to have as a backup. In case of emergency, though highly unlikely, fill it in between the moves I've described.

1: Jahan: Use Moonfire. He'll slap you lightly, no biggie. If Moonfire crits, Jahan is below 50% and you can Arcane Blast him to death. If it doesn't, you'll take more damage but keep blasting and he's down pretty fast.

2: Samm: He's faster than you and his opening move is Rain Dance. Fantastic. Use Arcane Blast a couple of times, depending on crit luck. He goes down.

3: Archimedes enters the fray. Moonfire once, with luck he's below 50% and you finish him off with some delicious Arcane Blast. No crit? He's still only 2 hits of Arcane Blast away from defeat.

And there you have it. If you're doing some POWAH-lvling, Samm's Rain Dance is a good time to switch in the lvling pet.

Happy battling!

Comment by drifely

Wow, decided to lead off with Nether Faerie Dragon 221, and just two shotted all three pets, barely losing any health.

Comment by 1478914

Fight takes just a few seconds just use Arcane eye. Kill Archimedes then Samm will come and cast arcane winds wich will make both Samm and Jahan be killed in a few blows.

Comment by Bullie247365

Lil' XT

Heartbroken > Tympanic Tantrum > Zap

went through all of the other team like greased lightning - no need for any other pet at all - totally destroyed all 3.

maybe I got lucky with some crits but was amazed to take out all 3 so easily :D

Comment by JTHM773

This is my favorite Menagerie daily. Archimedes and his friends give a +50% crit buff to all flying pets. If you purchased the collectors edition of Warlords of Draenor, you should have received the Dread Hatchling

I pull the hatchling out every time Archimedes and friends show up. Literally just spam Shadow Talon the entire fight and you will 2 - 4 shot every pet. You can also use Anzu's Blessing to make things go a bit quicker too. (as if they werent quick enough already lol)

Comment by supernova89A

Jade Oozeling was very effective for this battle (P/P breed), finishing off all three opponents using Expunge when available and Ooze Touch.

Comment by Angelhearth

Start off with Chrominus. Howl, Surge of Power, Jahan dies. Howl, Arcane Explosion, Chrominus dies. Nexus Whelpling, Mana Surge, Samm dies. Mana Surge, Archimedes dies.

There's absolutely no reason to switch from Chrominus. Let him die and you gain 1 attack, shortening the fight.

Comment by preechlol

Nordrassil Wisp 2/1/2 alone can almost take care of this team. Just choose any magic pet for backup

Comment by Angelhearth

The FUN way!

Start with Nexus Whelpling, Jahan will cast Arcane Storm so, since he will go first, you start with Mana Surge. That's when the fun starts, in 3 of 10 tries today I one shot all 3 of them.

When you're finished, and if there's anyone alive, bring out Chrominius, Howl, then Surge of Power.

In the insanely unlikely situation that there are 2 left after the Nexus Whelpling has finished his Mana Surge, bring out Darkmoon Tonk and cast Mine Field followed by Lock-On before bringing out Chrominius.

Comment by Angelhearth

Comment by Lizonya

My Sprite Darter Hatchling soloed these 3 very easily <3

Although it sounds like I really need to get a Nexus Whelpling!

Pets Needed for these Guides

Comment by Thorunn86

Solo'd easily with 25/rare Nether Faerie Dragon (2/1/1). Cast Moonfire, spam Arcane Blast, win.

Granted most hits were crits...

Comment by Whatvoidzone

Because of Birds of a Feather Servant of Demidos (1,2,2) completely destroys all three of these pets.

Round 1: Soulrush
Round 2: Siphon Anima
Round 3: Magic Sword x4
Win!

Comment by Pawpau

I don't think anyone has mentioned using legs that can solo all three pets if you get a few crits. I use oily-slimeling as a second to clean up if need be.

Spam focused beams on the first 2 and if you make it to the 3rd, Archimedes just hit him with Surge of power which usually crits him dead in one shot. This is of coarse a best case scenario that doesn't work 100% of the time which is why I use a clean up 2nd pet. I have not had this 2 pet combo fail me so far.

If you have to use the oily-slimeling hit with your Expunge then spam Ooze Touch for the kill.

Comment by kesperan

This fight can also be solo'd with a rare quality Servant of Demidos. Magic Sword has a base 50% crit and with the Birds of a Feather buff, that brings it up to 100%.

Edit: Whatvoidzone already mentioned this. D'oh.

Comment by altopelirrojo

Very simple fight.

Open with Chrominius. Use Arcane Explosion until Chrominius dies.
Bring out Nexus Whelpling and cast Mana Surge.

You can 1-pet this fight using the easily obtainable Arcane Eye (at level 25).

Setup spells to 2, 2, 2 (Drain Power, Psychic Blast, and Mana Surge).

The opponents having Birds of a Feather up helps make this a quick fight.

Jahan leads off with Arcane Storm.

Respond with Drain Power, followed by Mana Surge.

This should kill both Jahan and Samm leaving one charge of Mana Surge when Archimedes enters the fight.

You can then cast Drain Power or Psychic Blast to finish it off.

I just used nexus whelpling(lvl 25 rare).

Use: Arcane storm, mana surge, arcane storm and boom all the pets were dead. So easy.

Comment by Killerzeus

Easy to solo with Lil'Tarecgosa

Jahan:
3x Arcane Blast to die

Samm:
2x Arcane Blast to die

Archimedes:
Surge of Power and he dies

Brightpaw 1,1,1 Also wrecks these birds.

Prowl
Arcane Storm
Arcane Blastx3
Arcane Storm
Arcane Blast should finish the fight.

Archimedes I believe is the reference to Merlin's pet Owl from the magical Disney film of; The Sword in the Stone.

Many childhood memories came flowing when I saw him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--CIhzdrsA

The other pet in this fight named 'Samm' I believe is a loose reference to Toucan Sam; The Kelloggs - Froot Loops mascot.

Another fun little memory to be had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5AsmscyaMg

The third, Jahan I am unsure of.. though I will be searching.

This is a strategy that is very easy and consistent!

Pandaren Water Spirit
Water Jet (1)/ Whirlpool (2)/ Geyser (2)

Chrominius
Arcane Explosion (2)/ Howl (1)/ Surge of Power(2)

Emerald Proto-Whelp
Emerald Bite (2)/ Emerald Presence (2)/ Emerald Dream(2)

1. Start with PWS and Geyser followed by Whirlpool.

2. Switch to Chrom and Howl - Jahan dies.

3. Arcane Explosion , Arcane Explosion, followed by Surge of Power - Samm dies.

4. Bring in Emerald Proto-Whelp.

5. Spam Emerald Bite - Archimedes dies.

Done and done.

Easily solo-ed by a PS rare 25 Emerald Proto-Whelp 222.

Keep Emerald presence up, emerald bite when not shielding or healing and hit Emerald Dream at around half health.

Nexus Whelpling vs Archimedes, Jahan and Samm

Hello everyone...

As many before me I used my (25 lvl) uncommon Nexus Whelpling to solo Archimedes, Jahan and Samm.

1. Arcane Storm
2. Mana Surge
3. *BooM* All 3 Dead !

one of the easiest battles in your Garrison

Tested it with 5 Toons two times, 100% success rate.

--If for any reason (RNG meesed up) Archimedes doesen't die then Arcane Storm one last time. :)

Hope i helped.

Comment by Epone

Easy soloable with Emerald Proto-Whelp, don't even need to bring anything else!

Here is my faster / effective / quickest / speedily / rapidly and easiest tactical without RNG:

Jahan, Samm, & Archimedes -->40 seconds
Mini Mindslayer 2/2/1 + Nexus Whelpling 1/2/2

If you can be faster than me, please tell me but be honest and minimizing the RNG, time is calculated from the first spell I used untill the end-animation :)

This battle is completely soloable by the Sentinel's Companion, which is a very affordable pet on the AH.

Moonfire gives Dark Talon and Soulrush such an insane damage boost, that the three flying pets you face will have no chance against you.

Feline Familiar using Oynx Bite - usually two hits per mob does them in :-) I've done the fight a couple of times and 6 hits and it is over.

Comment by SciofSoA

There's really no point using a carry pet despite the strategies listed here making it sound worthwhile. It gives a pittance of exp, 85 to a level 2 with safari hat.

One Bronze Whelpling. Whacked all 3 pets

Comment by Stompa

Filter your pets: choose Dragonkin and look for ones with Magic abilities.

All 3 of the pets you'll battle - Samm, Jahan, and Archimedes are Flying pets; their damage is reduced vs. Dragonkin, and they take more damage from magic abilities.

Comment by m3talh3ad86

Used green Emerald Proto Whelp (25), green Nexus Whelpling (25), and green Cerulean Moth (25).

Spammed breath, and used ancient healing + emerald dream for healing. Took down Jahan, and about half of Samm's health, my emerald proto died, switched to nexus whelpling. Nexus defeated Samm and Archimedes and was left with about half health. Didn't end up using my moth.

Comment by Tikitak

3-4 hit strat

Felcrazed Wyrm Mana Surge
Switch to Eldritch Manafiend Soulrush, Surge of Power. If Eldrich Dies, go to next pet.
Clean up with any magic pet.

Solo strategy with Stormborne Whelpling using Tail Sweep Mana Surge and Arcane Storm

1) Arcane Storm
2) Mana Surge
If Mana Surge doesn't one-shot all three birds, recast Arcane Storm
3) finish off with Tail Sweep if necessary, Mana Surge on CD

This strategy smoked all 3 birds using just the first two abilities...hope it works for you!

Comment by Vycount

As the menagerie battles don't give good XP, I've focused on doing them as quickly as possible to be done.

Moon Moon (1,1,1) easily solos this fight in 5-6 rounds.

Open with Moon Tears then spam Moon Fang, which one shots 2/3 enemy pets.

Howl if you want to see big overkill crits
