Zaishen Menagerie Grounds

The Menagerie is an area added on Thursday, April 23, 2009. The Menagerie holds tamed pets, which are shared throughout your account.

Getting There
Gate Guard Hirvela The Zaishen Menagerie is an outpost, located in the Battle Isles next to Heroes' Ascent. Speak with Gate Guard Hirvela to enter the Zaishen Menagerie Grounds.


 * All characters on your account share the menagerie.
 * Only you and your heroes have access to your Zaishen Menagerie collection.

Pet Tiers

 * Tier 1: Level 5 Base Pet (here after called "Elder")
 * Tier 2: Level 12 Elder Pet
 * Tier 3: Level 12 Aggressive and Playful Pets
 * Tier 4: Level 15 Elder Pet
 * Tier 5: Level 15 Aggressive, Playful, Hearty, and Dire Pets
 * Tier 6: Level 20 Elder Pet

Once you've unlocked a pet you'll see charmable level 5 versions of that pet roaming about in habitats specially designed to meet the pet's needs. To see higher level versions, talk to Emryd the Tamer in the Training Yard (see below) and she'll bring them out. The Rainbow Phoenix can only be charmed if you leave heroes behind.

Unlocking and the Training Yard
The yard is part of the Zaishen Menagerie grounds, and has NPCs to help you unlock pets and learn more about how everything works.

Emryd, The Tamer

Bring your pets to Emryd, as well as any pets your Heroes have, and she'll unlock those tiers for you. Here's how:


 * Levels 1-11 Elder pets unlock tier 1.
 * Levels 12-14 Elder pets unlock tier 1 and 2.
 * Levels 12-14 Aggressive or Playful pets unlock tier 1, 2, and 3.
 * Levels 15-19 Elder pets unlock tier 1, 2, 3, and 4.
 * Levels 15-19 Aggressive, Playful, Dire, or Hearty pets unlock tier 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
 * Levels 20 Elder pets unlock tier 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
 * Levels 20 Aggressive, Playful, Dire, or Hearty pets unlock all 7 tiers.

Wynn, The Zaishen Training Captain

Speak with Wynn to get higher level versions and special evolutions of your pets. She'll also tell you about the characteristics of specific evolutions and how to train your pets to achieve that evolution.

Helena, The Zaishen Keeper

Helena unlocks tiers of pets for you in exchange for Balthazar Faction, or for a combination of Zaishen Coins and gold. You may only unlock a pet in this way if you own the pet's home campaign.

Wynn, The Zaishen Naturalist

Silavor Zaishen Naturalist

Speak to Silavor to learn more about each different species of pet. He knows how they fight and how they respond to training and, if you want to tame your own, he knows where to find them in the world.
