How to Tame Chimaeron from BWD (video)

[Romire]

Remember Chimaeron? that hydra that Neffy cooked up and used it to kill you over and over and over?

Well now you can tame him, and this video shows you how you can do it!

There are tons of Chimeras in Sholazar Basin

Oh wow. Nice one

Best Hydra in the game model wise

I know right? Such an awesome model!

so you have to wait until he does the massacre to tame him? or it has to been dropped down to a certain HP % ?

[Nakauri]

You likely won't need a healer to do this, but you will want to watch out for your damage, especially if you're going in as Marksmanship. All you have to do is get him to 20%, where he enrages.
Seriously though, if you've been heroic/mythic raiding and open with an Aimed/Chimaera then he will die.

You have to wait till he's health is at 20% (Killshot) range to commence taming

just done it on 10 normal, super easy with a decent gear

Yeah It is, if you have the gear for surival

[Alfakennyone]

If you tame him, does it screw up the raid lock out?

I just did and I can't continue on to kill Nef.

You'll have to zone out and reset the instance.

[Kalcheus]

If you're geared significantly (i570+) you may want to do the fight on 25-man to give you more breathing room on the tame. Old raid mobs/bosses melt now.

[Devboy]

did this with relative ease as BM. pet MD and tank, carefully dps'd him down and started dismissing my pet just before 20%, pet pushed over into enrage as i dismissed. detterence, tame, GG no RE.

Hydras are cool and all, but they give the same buff as wolves, and I could never not have a wolf.

I'm pretty sure Hydras give Mastery now, not Crit (they gave Crit before now)

B-but Savage D,:

Although as a surv hunter, mastery is apparently my weakest stat, so even if I did want a hydra, a lot of other buffs would need to already be present.

[Kalcheus]

Frankly, Hydras should give Multistrike. I mean seriously, Blizz.

I'm imagining that come December you'll see Chimaeron with non-BM Hunters and Gara with BM Hunters somewhere around 95% of the time out in the open world.

[Muckey]

Would anyone be so kind a tell a noob non-hunter why it has to be done below 20%? Back in my days you didn't have to damage beasts you wanted to tame.

Because blizzard has decided that many mobs such as the MoP spirit beasts and Dethtilac (where the trend started) have an arbitrary untameable buff until sub-20%.
