Near Roland's Doom, choose a reset lane before the level-23 channel. Undead patrols can cross the Duskwood route, so clear the immediate area before taming Lupos.
The old shadow-damage story ended in patch 1.9. Lupos deals physical damage like every wolf. The black model and Furious Howl are the reasons to tame it.
Abilities
Pair Furious Howl with Auto Shot or Raptor Strike. Keep meat in the bag. Lupos uses physical damage like every other wolf.
Furious Howl rewards a timed Auto Shot or Raptor Strike. Meat is the only food requirement.
All Wolf pets →Plan the tame
Duskwood
Quest from Darkshire outward, check the road for Stitches, and pull Worgen caves back toward the entrance.
