Three Simple Hidden Battle Pets for the Felcycle Mount Secret - Minor Spoiler Alert

Key Takeaways

• The Incognitro challenge requires defeating Jeremy Feasel at the Timeless Isle using only pets obtained through WoW secrets — standard pets don't qualify regardless of level.
• Spyragos, Nelthara, and Wicker Pup form the most reliable primary team, each suited to different enemy attack patterns.
• Spyragos is acquired through the "A Dragon's Day Off" quest in The Waking Shores by collecting seven unique beverages from hidden NPCs and locations.
• Nelthara is exclusive to Augmentation Evokers — players must switch to Augmentation spec and complete the "Our Destiny" quest in Valdrakken.
• Wicker Pup requires assembling four components scattered across Drustvar: Bundle of Wicker Sticks, Miniature Stag Skull, Wolf Pup Spine, and a Spooky Incantation.
• Many other secret pets (including Baa'l, Jenafur, Bumbles, and Terky) also qualify and can substitute for players who already have them.
• The fight has RNG variance; sharing team results in the #felcycle channel on the Secret Finding Discord helps the community map what wins consistently.

The full walkthrough covers the challenge setup, team selection, and how to obtain each pet from scratch.

Ratts' Revenge: Incognitro Felcycle Guide

The Challenge Overview

The Incognitro puzzle, part of the Ratts' Revenge secret, revolves around defeating Jeremy Feasel, a Master Pet Trainer normally stationed at the Darkmoon Faire. For this challenge, Jeremy appears at the Timeless Isle with one strict rule: your team can only include pets obtained through previous WoW secrets. Standard leveled pets don't qualify, regardless of power level.

Pets Essential for Victory

To stand a chance against Jeremy's well-trained team, you need secret pets with reliable combat toolkits. Three consistently deliver wins:

• Spyragos, a proto-drake-type pet from a Dragonflight secret, with strong breath attacks suited to sustained pressure
• Nelthara, an Augmentation-Evoker-exclusive pet with augment abilities that synergize well with other pets' rotations
• Wicker Pup, a BfA Drustvar secret pet with mechanical flexibility against multiple enemy ability types

Additional secret pets that have beaten Jeremy in community testing include Taptaf, Terky, Gurgl, Glimr, Snowclaw Cub, Jenafur, Bumbles, Sun Darter Hatchling, and Baa'l. No team composition is exhaustive; if you already have other secret pets, experiment. The RNG factor means adjusting your order between attempts often matters as much as the pets themselves.

With those pets in mind, here is how to acquire each one from scratch.

Acquiring Your Battle Pets

Steps to Obtain Spyragos

Spyragos is tied to the "A Dragon's Day Off" quest in The Waking Shores. The chain requires collecting seven unique beverages from hidden NPCs and locations across the zone:

Once all seven beverages are collected, complete the quest to receive Spyragos.

Nelthara, the Augmented Ally

Nelthara is exclusive to Evoker players who spec Augmentation. After switching to the Augmentation specialization and reaching Valdrakken, complete the "Our Destiny" quest chain, which involves augmenting a dragon with Ebon Might and Blistering Scales abilities. Nelthara unlocks as part of the quest reward. Players without an Evoker alt cannot obtain Nelthara — substitute with any other qualified secret pet.

Conjuring a Wicker Pup

Wicker Pup parts are scattered across Drustvar and must be assembled in order. Collect all four components:

• Bundle of Wicker Sticks
• Miniature Stag Skull
• Wolf Pup Spine
• Spooky Incantation

Once assembled, the Wicker Pup is added to your collection. Players who completed the Drustvar secret during Battle for Azeroth already have this pet — check your collection before farming the parts.

Tips for the Fight

The Jeremy Feasel fight at the Timeless Isle carries more RNG than most pet battles. His team's move selection varies between attempts, so a composition that swept cleanly one run may struggle the next depending on crits and move order. A few patterns that improve consistency:

• Lead with your tankiest pet if you're unsure of Jeremy's opener — absorb the first hit before committing your damage dealer.
• Preserve Spyragos for the final slot if possible — its breath rotation closes out damaged opponents faster than most other eligible pets.
• Log your failed attempts in the #felcycle channel on the Secret Finding Discord; the community tracks which team compositions handle which of Jeremy's move patterns best.

Players chasing rare Azeroth secrets can also browse WoW mount carry services for other hard-to-earn mounts that require significant grind or rare RNG drops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pets count as secret pets for the Incognitro challenge?

Any pet obtained through a WoW secret qualifies — Spyragos, Nelthara, Wicker Pup, Baa'l, Jenafur, Bumbles, Terky, Taptaf, Gurgl, Glimr, Snowclaw Cub, and Sun Darter Hatchling are all confirmed valid. Pets obtained through standard quests, drops, or vendors don't qualify, even if they're rare. If you're unsure whether a pet counts, Jeremy will reject ineligible teams before the fight starts.

Where does Jeremy Feasel appear for the Felcycle challenge?

Jeremy Feasel spawns at the Timeless Isle, separate from his regular Darkmoon Faire location. He appears at a fixed spot as part of the Incognitro secret progression. You don't need to wait for the Darkmoon Faire to be active — the Timeless Isle encounter is available once you've reached that step in the secret chain.

Can non-Evoker players complete the challenge without Nelthara?

Yes. Nelthara is one of the strongest options but not required. Many players have won using other secret-pet combinations — Baa'l and Jenafur in particular have solid ability sets that fill Nelthara's slot effectively. The Secret Finding Discord has documented winning teams that require no Evoker character at all.

How many secret pets do I need for the fight?

Three — a full battle pet team of secret-derived pets. You can't fill empty slots with standard pets. If you only have two eligible secret pets, obtain a third before attempting the fight. The team of Spyragos, Nelthara, and Wicker Pup works well as a starting point if you need to farm all three from scratch.

Is the Felcycle challenge still active in the current game?

Yes. The Incognitro challenge is a permanent secret introduced during the Dragonflight expansion and remains accessible in the current game. All pets listed here — Spyragos, Wicker Pup, and others — are still obtainable. Players on any active WoW subscription can work through the secret chain and attempt the Jeremy Feasel fight at any time.

What happens if I fail the Jeremy Feasel fight?

You can retry immediately — there's no lockout or cooldown on the fight. Losses happen even with a strong team due to RNG. If you're losing consistently, try adjusting your pet order or swapping one secondary pet for a different secret pet with a different ability type. Logging the abilities Jeremy used in each attempt helps identify patterns that are beatable.

How do I get Baa'l for the challenge?

Baa'l is one of the older WoW secrets, obtained during Battle for Azeroth. It requires collecting 38 Dark Whispers from hidden locations across BfA zones and then using them at a specific stone formation. The full acquisition chain is documented on Wowhead and in the Secret Finding Discord wiki. Baa'l remains one of the longer secret-pet acquisition chains in the game.
