Gnomeregan Pet Battle Dungeon

The Gnomeregan pet battle dungeon is coming in Patch 8.1. To get started, make sure you have earnt the achievement All Growns Up! which requires you to physically raise a pet to level 25. Levelling stones and pet battling works but not purchasing or trading max level pets.

A new quest can be picked up from Radek Fuselock, who is located near the pet battle trainers in Dazar’alor, or Tizzy Gearjolt who is just outside of Dana Pull’s shop in Hook Point, Boralus. Thankfully, you won’t need to complete the earlier pet battle dungeons so feel free to complete them in any order.

Make your way to Gnomeregan and locate Micro Zoox, located just outside the Gnomeregan dungeon portal. Horde players can use the transporter just under the zeppelin tower at Grom’gol Base Camp, in Northern Stranglethorn.

Stage 1: Automated Defenses

Prototype Annoy-O-Tron (Mechanical) Elite

Stage 2: Out of Control Elementals

Living Sludge (Elemental)

Living Napalm (Elemental)

Living Permafrost (Elemental)

Stage 3: Pull the Correct Levers

Control Console defeated

Stage 4: Bypass the Mine Field

Use the Shredder to make your way to the end of the hallway. If the shredder gets destroyed, you can still make your way to the bottom but will still take damage from the bombs. You shouldn’t die though.

Stage 5: Resilient Critters

Cockroach (Critter)
Leper Rat (Undead)

Stage 6: You Dirty Rat

Bloated Leper Rat (Undead) Elite – My favourite battle in the entire scenario

Stage 7: Gnomeregan Defense Force, Activate!

Gnomeregan Guard Mechanostrider (Mechanical)
Gnomeregan Guard Tiger (Mechanical)
Gnomeregan Guard Wolf (Mechanical)

Stage 8: Shadowy Figure

Confront the Shadowy Figure – make sure you’re standing fairly close to activate the dialogue.

Stage 9: Thermaplugg’s Latest Invention

Pulverizer Bot Mk 6001 (Mechanical)

The first time you complete the scenario, you’ll receive an Ultimate Battle-Training Stone and access to Manapoof’s free teleport from your capital city.

Before you can try the Challenge Mode version, you will need at least 15 max-level pets to open up the account-wide weekly quest from Micro Zoox. A different team was used for all challengers with less than a handful of pets used in more than one team – 32 pets used in total.
