Utility Tips
What is a daeodon used for? daeodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These things are super useful if you want a wyvern but don’t want to do the whole process of getting a wyvern, you turn on passive healing and when the baby wyvern hatches you don’t have to give it wyvern milk but just let the daedon keep healing the baby. Super useful and easy
So their main shtick is healing, but these guys can be quite powerful as mounts. I’m on an unofficial server with the health gains pumped up high, but I’m sure these guys are tanky regardless! They can certainly hold their own when you’re out and about against many other creatures!
Just so everyone knows, do NOT bring these things into the boss arena unridden. Just use them to heal your creatures after the fight. Their healing in the boss fight is pretty mediocre because they tend to waste all their food early on, and bringing multiple daeodons sacrificed damage from what could have been a few rexes instead. However, if you have more than 1 player ridden daeodons will be a lot less wasteful and the player on them can use a shotgun when they’re not healing.
