At least one pet in the strategy cannot be obtained anymore. If you have it, congrats!

The strat worked as indicated, though I'd say for anyone coming in here who doesn't have double Anklerenders, anything with Hunting Party that is faster than the Frenzied Knifefang's 263 speed will work just fine.

Here's a script for the fight:

ability(Black Claw:919) [round=1]
ability(Flock:581)
ability(Hunting Party:921)
