[@WoWatNight]

Heyoooo

[@casualvincent7893]

thanks to this guide I finally managed to get it done ! :D thanks a lot !

[@WoWatNight]

Nice!

[@bananacobana9976]

Nice video I already knew the tactics but had some trouble in SL. Now Bear is much more stronger and dmg is huge, my 8th attempt was successful!

[@WoWatNight]

Excellent!

[@ThasTheBear]

I watched your video and had it done in about 10 pulls. Thank you, thank you, thank you

[@WoWatNight]

GJ! Grats on the Green Werebear!

[@thomasschopflin6317]

Thank you for this guide! I tried getting the werebear for the first time during SL and failed miserably - you make it look easy! :)

[@WoWatNight]

Thanks, you got this!

[@bsof217]

because he/she/it , not a walk through what so ever & leaves so much out!!! just extend waffle!!

[@johnwarner4178]

I did it today if you run into any specific issues just ask, I’m not a great beat but got it in 4-5 attempts

[@derekemerson4383]

Out of all the videos I watched, this one actually made the difference. It took me 74 tries before using your build but after that it took me 4 tries to finally pull it off thank you. PS I used the Moonfire build.

[@WoWatNight]

Excellent! Grats!

[@game7m10r9]

finally did it after 50 tries thx for the guide

[@WoWatNight]

Sorry we missed this - grats on your victory!

[@andreasalexandrou8706]

Thanks dude! I got it finally!

[@WoWatNight]

That rules!

[@MoDyv1]

ty for sharing one shot with this talent

[@joshuacartlidge6348]

I haven't tried this since legion, just watched your guide and at 395 ilvl got it first go... Thanks dude!!

[@WoWatNight]

Glad to hear it!

[@johnwarner4178]

This reminded me to go in, took about 5 attempts all because I spaced out on the knockback. As soon as I talented charge I actually avoided them all anyways. DPS check was super easy only got 1 infernal

[@OlimpoWow]

Thanks for the guide!! I made it with the PS4 controller (I only play wow with ocntroller) ....soo many attempts.. in the end you enter the loop and until you beat it you won't get out. But the reward was worth it.

[@WoWatNight]

GJ!

[@yazan80]

Was just about to start doing this. Lucky timing! Thanks for the guide mate.

[@WoWatNight]

Nice! Good luck!

[@kotama81]

Thank you for this video, at last i got werebear form! :)

[@WoWatNight]

Grats!

[@dooper_1]

i dont normally comment but this guide helped me a ton with those talents and how u played part 1 all aggresive thank you for the tips! edit: i was able to clear it after 3 more tries after watching this video :o

[@cjohns1117]

knocked it out in about 10 tries, great guide

[@WoWatNight]

Glad it helped!

[@biorr6661]

Thanks for the guide mate, i wanted to quit with my lvl 64 druid and wanted to come back when i hit lvl 70. Thought i give it another try and i made it!

[@WoWatNight]

Nice work!

[@jakubususcz2588]

I cant make it those stupid nightmares are so cringe I am getting 1 tapped again and again

[@Yodhyaa]

Ty for the guide. I watched your previous guide and got the form :)

[@WoWatNight]

Glad to hear!

[@wolfpack6932]

Cool!! Wait I don’t have to wait for timewalking anymore?i can just go anytime i want to the tower?

[@WoWatNight]

Yup!

[@rhodehunter]

I'm having problems with the second phase can't seem to Kill the Boss quick enough and I noticed that he heals backup is it the green puddles on the ground that you need to get him out of?

[@WoWatNight]

No, you have to interrupt Kruul's Twisted Reflection casts. They will cause him to heal with every autoattack against you. If you miss an interrupt, you can use Velen's orbs to dispel the debuff from you.

[@hogmanlawls9809]

bro i went in and 1 shot the challenge after watching ur bidoe my heart was beating so fast i knew bear was busted but dayum didnt think it was that busted

[@WoWatNight]

Nice! Congrats on the success -- and the cool skin!

[@hogmanlawls9809]

@@WoWatNight im so happy ive wanted it forever and i didnt play in legion so thise was chance to get it and i tried a few times befor and never got close so i gave up till ur vidoe and was like yea im try it again but i also been tanking so im more used to doing cc and stuff where as befor i was a boomie only so wasnt used to doing tank things or cc'ing or anything

[@venom19977]

This was a 1 shot for me roughly 18 hours play time (Edit: slight correction 20 hours at 70) on Druid with about 413.87 ilvl, in comparison to Prot Warrior this felt like a light breeze.

[@WoWatNight]

GJ! It's definitely a lot easier now on Bear than it was earlier in the expansion, and harder for Warrior now than it was before the multitude of nerfs they received throughout Season 1.

[@rampagerpvp6082]

I can’t seem to get it done I’ve tried many time I’m not sure what I’m missing

[@fullyjackd]

got it my third try =) ty for the guide

[@WoWatNight]

Nice!

[@trebortnulb5279]

recommend getting Ravaged seed pod off of first off in emerald nightmare. does lots of damage

[@adamr5136]

I ran the swarming plague hive plus the seed pod and the plaguehive did 6% of my damage

[@DgknMcH]

Where I'm stuck is, I can endure the phase two for like 2-3 minutes but I'm not doing enough damage so I can't kill them fast. Was it crit that helped you in the video to kill everything that fast? Also, my item level is around 413.... Should I upgrade them and then try or would getting Legion items from LFR legion raids along with using artifact weapon help in your opinion?

[@bananacobana9976]

hey man i did the challenge after 8 trys i have also 413 ilvl. Its important at 2nd boss to interrupt the 2nd cast of him. You dont need old Legion items its not that hard now=)

[@DgknMcH]

@@bananacobana9976 oh yeah I realized I wasn’t interrupting him during second phase… it’s been 17 tries so far, I’m about to break down honestly 🥲🥲

[@WoWatNight]

@@DgknMcH If you miss the interrupt in P2, you can pick up one of Velen's CC orbs. Not only do they CC everything in the fight, they will clear the boss-healing debuff from you. It's not ideal, but it is still possible to kill the boss even if you miss an interrupt as long as you grab an orb quickly!

[@deuces3573]

Ty for guide! just did it took me 6 tries after watching video

[@WoWatNight]

Excellent!

[@sar1bear]

Still trying to get this… I’m main feral and I found out beacon does about 30k to inquisitor. I can get to second phase easily but I keep dying in second :( I’m 422 in bear and close but not yet…. Seems to be dumb mistakes like interrupting the wrong thing or mostly the stacks that kill me. Going to try your talent set up and hope I get it

[@WoWatNight]

Good luck! Don't give up!

[@trebortnulb5279]

I just 3 shot this on bear. Arcane build makes the eyes trivial, I almost fully ignored all of the Kruul abilities except the last one.

[@WoWatNight]

Yup, it slaps!

[@UnholyGTX]

30+ attempts today, only got to phase 2 once. I give up for today, this damn challenge is rough.

[@ryanbesso34]

I have tried this so many times for hours and hours. I can’t seem to dps enough in phase 2. Also what addon do you have for health bars?

[@WoWatNight]

Velen's CC orbs help a lot with maintaining uptime during phase 2. As for the nameplates, it's Plater, and you can find the profile here: wago.io/teE_Yavti

[@CrystalLove4Jesus]

Okayyyy I’m ready to try this again after watching this video 10 times. I tried beginning of season 1 and couldn’t do it but with the new Druid buffs maybe I can do it! I main heals so tanking not my thing! I’ll be back to tell you how it went lol.

[@WoWatNight]

Good luck! You got this!

[@CrystalLove4Jesus]

@@WoWatNight woohoo i just got it today!!! took me like 20 tried lol yay it is so much easier with the buffs to druid yayyyy so happy thank you so much for this guide!

[@WoWatNight]

@@CrystalLove4Jesus Nice! GJ!

[@ElCapitanGames]

I need a guide on all the unlockable Druid forms. And also the Druid class quests are weird in dragonflight with timewalking and whatnot. Majorly confusing

[@tysonbarnes7793]

I just ran it and passed the bosses but still haven't received the Bear for, did I do something wrong?

[@smalls2669]

Should be an option in the barbershop now!

[@Atljeepboy]

What trinkets are you using

[@WoWatNight]

3 comments on one video. Trinkets don't matter

[@queenjasmin]

Does item level matter in this or is it scaled?

[@WoWatNight]

It's scaled. Itemization stays the same, so having well-itemized gear is useful, but ilvl doesn't matter!

[@SodaSolo]

Is it necessary to have level 70 for this fight? (BTW nice tutorial)

[@WoWatNight]

It's doable below level 70 -- and kind of a neat challenge if you really want to try it -- but it should be harder since you won't have as many talent points available.

[@SodaSolo]

Thanks, also how do you do so much damage? @@WoWatNight

[@Kiwicrack]

I did it back when the event got extended beyond two weeks but then ended after a month or so. I'm tempted to see how different it is now.

[@gam3rhashtag]

do you pref this on a lvl 70 chr ?

[@WoWatNight]

Most definitely. Since your gear all gets scaled to the challenge either way, the main way to increase your power is through talents, and you want as many as you can get! Now, it's possible they may screw up the scaling at some point, and maybe it's accidentally easier at some lower level, but it *should* just be harder, since the gear is the same, and the talents are not.

[@gam3rhashtag]

well lvl 70 druid, but think they edit something i get 5 ghosts like 10 sec afther in room and 1 big rock guy instand dead =D @@WoWatNight

[@gam3rhashtag]

the higher i lvl u got the easyer it is even if its scaled down ? @@WoWatNight

[@timwilliams4931]

Ok... so I did this last night. I'll admit it... this is HARD. I think if you are old, like me, there are some consumables you'll need. 1: A ball-gag. You're going to be cussing and screaming. 2: Something or someone to punch. This is seriously an old-school nintendo moment. You WILL be having temper tantrums... it's ok. 3: This video. 4: The patience of a saint (or a hooker, whatever church you pray at isn't my business.) 5: About a gallon of coffee. You might be able to substitute with crack or crank... I never was a user but you're probably going to need some high-speed chicken feed. 6: For the two bosses... save all your cooldowns for phase 2. Get good at the first boss stay ranged, stay aggressive. 7: For the second - Just keep the boss moving around the arena while man-handling him. I hope you got something out of this... Knowledge that you have to change your typical "I'm a tank, so stop taking damage" strategy or... a good laugh. Either way, good luck!

[@Atljeepboy]

I watched videos from a year ago and I think I need a step by step approach

[@WoWatNight]

Well, we have a format that we pretty much stick to.

[@Knightbat91]

idk how you are doing so much damage but still staying alive, ive tried a ton of times and cant get passed P1 i guess im just trash at the game idk you burned the first boss so fast and i struggle to do any dps

[@jpglo]

i do good until 2nd phase and annihilation comes..i die to annihilation more than anything..my cds arent up i try getting orbs but i still dont time my cds right or panic hit them...this sucks so bad

[@WoWatNight]

It's a high-intensity phase. More practice will make it less overwhelming!

[@lionoh]

I've done this on my 2nd account . Now it's time to go at it on the main,Perhaps I'll try it naked first few times. Thanx for the updated guide.

[@WoWatNight]

Good luck!

[@JWFreeman]

Holyshit! I got it on the second try after watchin the vídeo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@WoWatNight]

Excellent!

[@nalarotbh9953]

wonder what the fight will be like with the doomhammer trinket

[@WoWatNight]

Probably pretty easy, the 90s CD and ST burst is perfect for that fight -- but it might just be scaled down to do dozens of damage!

[@Mindfreakfan11]

how are you making this look so easy? im popping all CDs, putting in as much damage as i can and cant get Variss health down nearly as fast or low. i dont understand. this is getting frustrating and im about ready to just give up and forget the idea of ever getting this bear form

[@WoWatNight]

Don't give up! There was a lot of failure before this video...

[@__opie]

That shit is still hard to me lol

[@kit9376]

Dude. I watched your vid a couple times then managed to get the mage tower done in about 5 attempts. God bless you xD

[@WoWatNight]

Nice work!

[@ThomasVpanda]

wtf man, mine is way different, ive gone 10+ times now, every single time he knocks me away after about 10 seconds of the fight, then one shots me 100% to dead immediately???

[@ziggy7457]

This challenge is driving me up the wall. I can get to the second phase 75% of the time. But I either get one shot or knocked off. Oof. I swear I’m going to main tank a Druid if I get this form.

[@WoWatNight]

You can do it.

[@JWFreeman]

Next brew master plis

[@radya2977]

Wait is this back? You can do it again now?

[@WoWatNight]

Yup, it's up all the time now!

[@radya2977]

@@WoWatNight Ah I realize its just the shadowlands version with the armor sets - not the original legion weapon appearances. I've swapped classes since legion and only did the original mage tower on my main lol

[@Atljeepboy]

I have been doing this for days and can't get past Variss. I'm depressed 😔

[@WoWatNight]

Just have to keep going.

[@norricommander]

it makes me feel stupid at how easy everyone makes this fight look. am i thinking too hard with bear? i do not understand

[@KhornateBRZRKR]

Same dude, I was doing the BM monk one today and all the guides made it seem so easy now, it took me literally almost 100 pulls I was off by like 3-5 pulls :\ really reminds me how much I suck. lol but I don’t know how to use addons either so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@angertone213]

once my HP gets to like 7k I just can't keep up

[@jesperbongers9059]

It’s really easy, did it in 1 try, with this video in the background 😆

[@WoWatNight]

Hell yeah!

[@jkenn8973]

Gear must matter. youre doing like 1k dps more than me

[@WoWatNight]

Nah, just a lot of experience. Failed a bunch before this.

[@FlyingWalnut]

Nah I give up. I dont do any damage and ive failed 10+ times. Fuck it. Edit: I bitched whined and cried, and after I think 90+ attempts, I am now a Werebear.

[@slicknick4140]

Mage tower in shadowlands took me 40 attempts with full decked out trinkets and gear. In dragonflight it took 3 pulls with the gear i showed up in 😂😂😂😂 Absolute joke now so get your Bear form everyone. Also Typhoon is very useful in here, try what you like and don't just cookie cutter
