AT A GLANCE

The pet name is not always the monster you farm. Use this table to match pet bonus → required monster → fastest reported stage, then verify the counter in your client.

Farm the monster named in each unlock requirement, not the pet's display name, and compare kills per minute before copying a listed Torment stage.

TBH Pets: farm the required monster, not the pet name

Pets are one of TBH’s most useful systems because the bonus is passive. The trap is searching for “Bat pet” and farming the wrong enemy. The pet table below separates the pet you receive from the monster you must defeat.

Farmable pets

Pet	Passive bonus	Unlock requirement	Best reported farm
Bat	+10% Common Chest Drop Chance Multiplier; +15% EXP Gain	Defeat 5,000 Bats	A1-7 City Outskirts Torment (~204/run)
Watcher	+15% Gold Per Kill	Defeat 5,000 Giant Flies	A2-5 Scorching Dunes Torment (~228/run)
Burning Skeleton	+10% Stage Boss Chest Drop Chance Multiplier	Defeat 5,000 Fire Elementals	A2-8 Sacred Tomb Torment (~120/run)
Blue Golem	+15% Common Chest Drop Chance Multiplier	Defeat 5,000 Hell Golems	A3-6 Burning Ravine Torment (~138/run)
Dark Spirit	+15% Stage Boss Chest Drop Chance Multiplier	Defeat 5,000 Ghosts	A3-4 Frozen Glacier Cavern Torment (~135/run)

The “~per run” values are current database estimates, not promises. A lower difficulty with a faster, reliable clear can beat Torment if your team dies or takes too long.

Supporter Pack pets

The current database lists Sword, Butterfly, and Dragon as Supporter Pack unlocks rather than 5,000-kill farms:

Pet	Listed bonus
Sword	+15% EXP Gain
Butterfly	+10% Gold Per Kill
Dragon	+20% Common Chest Drop Chance Multiplier, +15% Gold Per Kill, +20% EXP Gain

Check the current Steam product page before buying a supporter item. Do not describe these as free drops.

How to farm a pet without wasting the session

1. Open the pet screen and confirm the required monster.
2. Choose the reported stage above, then lower the difficulty if it is not a stable clear.
3. Leave the formation unchanged until the kill counter moves predictably.
4. Compare kills per minute, not just kills per run.
5. After unlocking, run the same stage once with the pet bonus active and confirm that the displayed result changes as expected.

If the counter is not moving, you are either on the wrong monster, on a different stage than you think, or looking at stale data. The in-game counter wins over every web table.

Which pet should you chase first?

• Gear sessions: Bat or Burning Skeleton, because chest-drop multipliers affect the loot loop.
• Gold sessions: Watcher, because its bonus is per kill.
• Leveling sessions: Bat or Sword, depending on whether the latter is available through the Supporter Pack.
• Late-stage boss farming: Dark Spirit, if the current stage actually contains enough Ghosts per minute.

This is a use-case recommendation, not a universal tier list. The best pet is the one that improves the activity you are currently repeating.
