So these guys have a very specific food restore, that's different from most dinos.cooked meat restores more of it's food than raw, and it will eat out of a trough before it eats out of its own inventory. It will like most dinos, eat raw foods before cooked ones, even though cooked restores more of it's food.
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.
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
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.
