Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a daeodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a daeodon.
When ramming before you knock out. Try and get it to preform its healing attack. This will drain the food and instant tame. Make sure people see!
This here hog can "clear the savanna after every meal", it will however, be quite a large meal indeed. Also breed them so when you have a baby you can scream "WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG WARTHOG!"
So super easy way to tame these guys, Hit them once with any kind of fast moving of flying dino and let them use their healing. After the healing aura goes away Ko them. Instatamed since their food meter is fully empty 😁
The best name I ever saw for this creature was Chris P Bacon.
They will use their healing move in the wild and this actually makes taming these burly beasts much easier preventing accidental deaths and making them hungry leading to a 30 second tame
When KO’ing them, they use up food when they use their healing move. As such, they will tame very fast when knocked out so make sure to put a ton of meat in their inventory. 👆🏻so people know

Use Traq arrows to knock because it will take more damage and forces it to heal itself and as a result draining more food. This will drastically decrease how long it takes to tame.
Real men use cooked fish meat to tame these pigs
Very good! Very good with breeding! I’d recommend getting one, or multiple. Stack up on health or weight. I use them for when breeding, turn on passive healing Incase the baby runs out of food when I’m offline, so they won’t die of hunger until I can check on them again. So worth getting one!
I think Daeodons are sometimes called terminator pigs
Since they heal in the wild, be sure to hit it for a bit of damage before taming. It will heal itself, reducing its own food and when you knock it out it will eat all the food quicker.
Still working with combat starve strategy and superior Kibble! Despite dododex saying you can only use a ton of mutton?! please change it back. put it in a pen or fight it at a calm place until food reaches zero. torpor it, kibble feed it, done. no waiting time, will tame instantly if done the correct way.
When taming wyverns keep a pig by it so you never need to give it milk
Just get any level Equus and kick it once or twice and it will be knocked out easy as pie
I extremely recommend this Dino all though it might eat all your food so if you’re a beginner and don’t have much meat then this may be a harder thing to keep and that’s all the tips I have to share
Do not leave it on passive tame when you log off! I tamed my first pig lvl 145, so I didn’t realize you had to turn off passive tame otherwise it uses all food in its inventory and when it runs out it will take health damage.
Either Argy or Quetzal can pick up, also found a majority in the snow biome just south of the east mountain and near the river. Be prepared to force feed like crazy once you breed.
In valguero, they’re incredibly common in the tundra, but they often spawn around dangerous creatures. Picking one up with an argy (with a decent amount of health & a good saddle) and taking it to a taming pen in a safe area is probably the best option if you want to tame these guys
To knock bola and shoot in the head with tranqs works very well
These creatures are amazing for when you do bosses on beta or alpha. Best way to tame it is by making a 4x4 stone floor with one tall doorframes so you can shoot them but not get hit!
