Daeodon — Detailed Guide

The Daeodon is a giant hog and the only common creature that actively heals other tames. Its healing uses up its own food quickly, so it needs a lot of meat, but it is a core part of most boss teams.

Where to find it

It roams on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction, Scorched Earth and Genesis Part 1 in both games, on Astraeos and Lost Colony in ASA, and on Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE.

Taming

A knockout tame and an omnivore. It heals itself in the wild, which burns its food, so a Daeodon that was hurt first eats the taming food faster once asleep. Expect to need a lot of meat. Its saddle unlocks at level 59. See the taming calculator.

Breeding

  • Birth: a live birth, about 7 hours 56 minutes of gestation.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 2 days at 1x.

Uses

  • Bosses: heals the whole team during long fights.
  • Babies: its healing also feeds hungry babies when you have nothing else.

Tips

Fill its inventory with meat before every fight and keep its healing off when you do not need it.
