On the Xbox you can usually find these in the snow biome up if helpful

Found in ice biome on center island extinction and raganok are a endgame tame since these guys are 100000% needed for bosses (especially the dragon) but be warned I've seen them hunt in packs lately so be careful I hope this help <3

Eats even faster than me, be sure to have literal TONS of food in its inventory

Here are 3 tips to maximize heal usage for daeodons:

1: If a daeodon runs out of food, don't force feed it until it's back at full. Instead, leave render distance then go back, and the daeodon will be fully fed so long as it had enough food.

2: Cook any meat with an Industrial Grill before feeding it to a daeodon. Cooked meat give more food, so you won't waste as much meat if it's cooked before eaten.

3: Most medium to large water creatures, such as Manta, Ichthyo, and Megalodon, give rediculous amounts of meat compared to other creatures, use this to your advantage when looking for food for your Daeodon.

Jelly Bean here👋

In the dossier these are given the nickname “Hellpig”. That is VERY true.

Let’s be honest there are three reason we are all here either to...

Learn how to tame it

Find where it spawns

Or “hypothetical” because you all your dinos including a defenceless little baby jerboa named Joe died to these devil - spawns.

One up one prayer for Hoptimis prime (Kangaroo) Jack and Jill (pair of morellatops) and most importantly...Joe the Jerboa.

JellyBean out ✌️

There Jaw is the best place to hit that is counted as there headshot also let it perform a lot of healings be for K.O it will save you time also bring a lot of meat like a lot it takes over 100 mutton for a lvl 186

If the daedon runs out of food while healing, go out of its render distance while there is food in its inventory and it will fill its hunger automatically all the way

35 points   🔧 Utility   May 10, 2017   Report

These are very good at healing keep in mind their food is like manna so be sure to level it up. also keep three of them together the Boost is way better

To tame they take a lot of meat so be prepared

They should add Hippos in the game to become friends with this hog

Daedons or pumba as i call them are op. Rexs raptors baryonyx allos and carnos are no match for 1 of these. I have 3. One on each of the realms in fjordur and have yet to lose one of them. Great for exploring and can be used as a pack mule. Snow owls heal better than these so i use them as self healing tanks

Taming guide #2: Daedon

1 Go in the snow biome ( be carefull,or the temperature,the other predators or even the pack of Daedon Will kill you)

2 Find the One you want to tame ( as i said before,they usually spawn in groups so you will need to kill the others)

3 Use crossbow atleast to stun It

4 give It atleast 150+ meat ( don't wast prime meat ) and many narco berries or others

5 Congratulations! You Tamed a Voracious pig 🐖

While it isn't their primary use, these guys can gather berries from bushes!

7 points   🔧 Utility   Jun 20, 2023   Report

After you tamed it listen up

Cooked meat,you want it to be efficent cooked meat is what it loves,if you can afford it Cooke prime

After your not using him a feeding through with raw meat full of it,and check every 5 hours to see how much it has left

These are only found in dungeons! DO NOT TRY TO FIND THEM OUTSIDE OF DUNGEON ON MOBILE AS YOU WILL NOT FIND THEM!!!!

A Yutyrannus is by far one of the best ways to deal with these guys. You can easily scare these guys away from you. It also seems that when they are scared they can't activate their heal ability which makes it easier to pick them off. Another good method is to use a shotgun. It deals huge enough bursts of damage that they can be close to death in a few shots, good for if they show up unexpectedly while you're on your own.

Testing these against the yuty and will not be posting other bosses .Test was with a yuty and ascendant saddles and like 13 pigs.

Im not testing the other bosses because when I tried the monkey it just kept healing.

Gamma broodmother: Set them to aggresive so the minions wouldn’t bug em and so they could get more food for passive heal at the start. No pigs died because of passive heal spam.

Beta broodmother:Same thing with gamma. Set them all to aggresive and let them eat the minions. The damage they did was pitiful, even with courage roar. I didn’t want to wait ages at the moment so I killed it myself. So that’s inconclusive and I will do a rematch later.

To knock bola and shoot in the head with tranqs works very well

6 points   🔧 Utility   Aug 21, 2023   Report

Try to get a high lvl breeding pair and try to mutate health, stamina, melee, or food or all four I guess. Really good for boss fights/healing babies

7 points   🔧 Utility   May 8, 2023   Report

These guys are great for boss fighting. They heal any nearby allies with the cost of food, so pump that food stat like there is no tomorrow.
