Baa'l is a Secret Battle Pet that resembles a demonic goat. Baa'l is one of the major secrets added in Battle for Azeroth, along with the Waist of Time, The Hivemind and Jenafur.
For the last step of this secret you will also need to get Uuna and complete her storyline.
Useful Items
Wowhead suggestions include that as well as targetting Baa'l /before/ you summon Uuna. At any rate, I'm glad I finally got this pet! If you've invested any time at all in the fishing pole from Legion, it was well worth taking the time to get the buff that turns you into a fish just for the last pebble quest. There’s a guide on Wowhead that gives you waypoints for Tom-Tom and a few lines of text to ‘guide’ you through this questline to get you to have the upgraded Uuna in your pet journal but in true ‘guide’ style there wasn’t much in the way of actual visuals of where you should be going and what you should be doing.
- To learn how to obtain Uuna and completely equip her, making her able to weaken Baa’l, check our Uuna’s Storyline - A Dark Place guide! After weakening Baa’l, he should be easily defeatable by any level 25 pet. Defeating Baa’l in a pet battle will award you with Baa’ls Darksign, which will teach you how to summon him!'

Here are a few useful items that you should get to help you reach certain locations easier:
- Draenic Invisibility Potion or Skaggldrynk
- Swim Speed Potion, Darkwater Potion, Feast of the Fishes or Underlight Angler
- Elixir of Water Walking or Anglers' Water Striders
For the last step of this secret you will also need to get Uuna and complete her storyline.

How to get Baa'l
The Conspicuous Note
Cross the Bridge in Nazmir to the top of the temple and then click on the Conspicuous Note. The note is on the side of the temple.
/way Nazmir 46 54 Bridge
/way Nazmir 51 59 Conspicuous Note
First Pebble
Interact with pebble on the table in Broken Shore next to Drak'Thul. If you you can't click it, interact with Drak'thul so he turns away from the table, or use a Draenic Invisibility Potion or Skaggldrynk.
/way 37 71 (use this waypoint while in the Broken Shore)
Second Pebble
This pebble is in a cave in Boralus. Walk through the net and you should fall down into the cave. The pebble is lying on the floor.
/way Boralus 49 40 In a cave behind the net
Third Pebble
This pebble is located in a cave in Atal'dazar. It can be reached after a bit of climbing and using a Goblin Glider Kit. Below is a video of how to get to the cave. The pebble is next to a root.
/way 31 35 (use this waypoint while in Zuldazar)
Fourth Pebble
This pebble is located in a cave in Drustvar. The cave is behind a waterfall. In the cave there is an effigy, you will find the pebble in its eye.
/way Drustvar 34.60 55.05 In the effigy's head
Fifth Pebble
This pebble is located in Voldun. The cave is near the tree and takes a small amount of climbing to get to. Get as high as you can on the island and jump down. Beware the angry Krolusk! Make sure to use a Draenic Invisibility Potion or Skaggldrynk to avoid him killing you. The pebble is located at the entrance to the cave, in front of the Krolusk.
/way Vol'dun 63.21 21.33 Beware the angry Krolusk!
Sixth Pebble
This pebble is located in a cave in Stormsong Valley. The easiest way to get up to the cave is using the path from the first waypoint. The pebble is inside the cave, located in a wheelbarrow.
/way Stormsong Valley 69.3 9.4 Take Path
/way Stormsong Valley 68.33 10.5 Entrance to Cave
Seventh Pebble
This pebble is located above Nazmir, in the South Seas, in fatigue waters. Once you're in the South Seas you use the following macro to set up the waypoints:
/way 50 6 Starting location
/way 54 7 Pebble location
To get to both locations without any issue you can use the Feast of the Fishes. Make sure to place it on the shore of Vol'dun or Nazmir while you are in the water.
If you can't get the Feast of the Fishes, then you can use an Elixir of Water Walking or the Anglers' Water Striders to walk on water. As you can see in the screenshot below, the starting location is in a safe area (the white texture on the minimap).
On your way to the pebble you will take fatigue damage so you will have to get there fast. If you're using the Feast of the Fishes then you can go straight to the back of the ship in the water. You will find the pebble below the skull on the left, as shown in the screenshots below.
If you're using the Elixir of Water Walking or the Anglers' Water Striders, then once you get to 54 7 dismiss your mount and use one of the consumables below to increase your swim speed.
- Swim Speed Potion or Darkwater Potion

/way Boralus 10.01 82.59 Underwater cave
Thirteenth Pebble
This pebble is located in a cave past a fatigue area, at the end of the ocean. You will need to use the Elixir of Water Walking or the Anglers' Water Striders to walk on the water. The pebble is located just inside the cave entrance. Disregard the other pebbles in the cave, they're just a distraction.
Coordinates no longer work since the last TomTom addon update. Follow the direction like in the video below, and once you get to the first safe spot you can follow the white texture on the minimap.
The text on the pebble reads:
(Something is carved into the stone)
Heckler of the Murkiest Thugs, sheathe your
Bat and remove the Keg Cork, Wot?
Baa'l
Heckler Murkiest Thugs -> Kurgthuk the Merciless
Bat Keg Cork Wot -> Get Back to Work
The text has been decoded as an anagram by rearranging the letters, and it points to Kurgthuk the Merciless Frostfire Ridge, which yells 'GET BACK TO WORK!'. Close to this NPC there is a volcano, and it the middle of it you will find Baa'l.
Initially, Baa'l is nearly impossible to kill because he is empowered, however you can reduce his health points by summoning Uuna, provided that you have completed her storyline including the World Tour. Msi pokemon.
Uuna yells: Eat stars, bad guy!
Uuna yells: Get him, friend! Use your pet battle attack
Note: In case Baa'l's health points don't get reduced, then you should switch War Mode off. You can also try the Gastropod Shell toy to reset the pet or realm swap until you find a realm where it will work.
/way Frostfire Ridge 62 22 Baa'l
Baa'l will say ominous things when summoned, and if you rearrange the capital letters from the quote below, you can form an anagram for 'SEEK KNOWLEDGE'.
Souls fEast on enDless shrieKing, in darKNess they writhe and scream, yOu WiLl join thEm, toGether forEver morE!
Waist of Time
The secret continues with the hunt for the Waist of Time, which is a secret cosmetic belt and the final part of the first major secret in Battle for Azeroth.
Note: To continue this secret questline you must be on the same character that obtained Baa'l from the volcano in Frostfire Ridge.
