Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Daeodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

They heal any tamed Dino nearby at the cost of food. Get a whole large pack of Daedons made up of pack leaders and you will be very well protected and since they can heal each other one of your daedons will rarely die. Upv0te if ya found helpful.

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!

Can be used to raise a baby wyvern without milk if needed. Either raise it without milk or imprinting, or save that milk for imprinting ;). Also, I have done it before so this isn’t a lie. uppers if useful

Pros:they’re easy to tame cuz you can bola them and they eat you taming food quick after knocking them out. And after taming,they’re great at caving,boss fights,hunting,and even taking care of babies you don’t have any food for.

Cons:they eat like nickocado avocado.

FUN FACT!

Despite its pig-like appearance, the real-life Daeodon is not a true pig, but a species of extinct monster mammals known as Entelodonts, which are in fact more related to hippos and whales!

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 😁

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

Put a bunch of these on a Bronto's saddle platform encased in metal walls, feed your bronto some tasty veggie cakes, and rain he'll amongst your server with your invincible bronto

For those wondering which meat is the best this is what I found out

Raw meat: 10 food. Cook meat: 25 food

Cook/raw prime meat: 50 food

Cook/raw mutton meat: 50 food

Raw fish: 5 food. Cook fish: 12 food

It can eat kibbles as well

Basic/simple/regular: 95 food…

Goes through so much food you will want to cry... it's healing ability runs on like 1 meat per second

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.
