When you throw the bottles, 1 of 3 Spirit beasts come out. Arcturis, Ban'thalos, or Ankha.

Comment by Arnage

If you throw the bottle up, in the trunk of the tree, the creature will stay there and won't be able to attack you and will evade your attacks. Useful if you want to avoid confrontation.

The spirit beasts will either come out friendly (green) or aggressive (red) ~~and you need not kill the target creature first and it does not use the creature up (you can continually hit the same mob/corpse with the bottles for all eight)~~.

Edit:
There is no need to hit any creature/corpse with the AoE. Just break it in the area.

It also works with the animals lvl 1-24

Perform at 40.5, 11.4 and face the mountain. Toss the bottles close to you. They will all break green and none will attack you.

Comment by lazypt

Against the mountain wall seems to appear more friendly mobs.
As a feral druid i was able to break all the bottles i need and at the end just Shadowmeld to lose aggro.
No need to fight them. Use as much bottles as you can and use invisibility or something like that when you are overwhelmed with mobs

If you stand far enough away you can throw spirit bottles at the same sleeping stalker until you complete the quest.

Comment by Barleduq

These beasts aren't tameable, alas.

(I did the entire quest before thinking about it, and then abandoned/redid to double check. The beast spirits can't be targetted by Beast Lore - clicking on them or their portrait does not change the mouse-hand, it still has the glow of 'spell in holding'.)

(Putting the info into a top level comment because I have problems finding things in replies, so maybe other people do, too)

Must....Resist.. Attempting to tame..... "Sad Face : /"

Out of 8, 7 of them attacked me.

Comment by Gnomerama

This will save you a lot of time.

Throw 1 bottle
Try to not kill the mob (CC the beast if you can)
keep throwing bottles as its CD refresh.

* I've managed to get 4 peaceful beast out of 1 mob *

Comment by Panstruedel

Ok,
1: Get the quest.
2: Go to the right area.
3:Don't look for anything labeled as "Spirit Beast".
4: Just throw the bottle in front of you and be prepared to kill what comes out.
5: Some beasts will attack you upon release, some will simply wander away.
Once you have thrown enough bottles, you have completed the quest.

Bottle can be used on animals corpse as well. And even better, all bottles can be used on same corpse.

Comment by Snowflake272

As of Nov 3rd 2020, these are still not tamable. Even though undead can now be tamed, these can not. (Dam - I was looking forward to this) You can Beast Lore them, but comes up not tamable. Tested on my undead hunter, and tested all three possible spirits.

Back to Nature

Throw Spirit Bottles on the ground in Tideview Thicket to release 8 Beast Spirits.

Beast Spirits Returned to Nature (8) (1)

Provided item:

	Spirit Bottles (1)

Description

I'm afraid I have another favor to ask, <name>.

The bottles you recovered contain neither the spirits of mogu ancestors nor recently slain foes; they contain spirits of beasts. It seems the spiritclaws have resorted to poaching in an effort to fuel their simulacra.

This complicates our task, for I cannot take the beasts with me through the bridge.

Take the bottles west to Tideview Thicket and smash them to return the spirits to nature. Some may be blind with rage and will need to be subdued.
