Daedream: Location, Breeding and Drops

Catch one in the Sea Breeze Archipelago on the way past. Its bullets cannot take anything below 1 Health, which makes Daedream the safest Pal to carry while you catch others.

The route
1Sweep the Sea Breeze coastA third of every mapped Daedream stands on this one stretch. If you are still north, the Windswept Island cluster has 44 points and needs no travel at all.86 of 241 points, southern coast
2Throw a basic sphereWild levels run 4 to 16 and Daedream has almost no health. A basic Pal Sphere lands one from full health at the bottom of that band.Wild levels 4 to 16
3Catch four, not oneDream Chaser summons a Daedream beside you for every one in the party. Four in the party means four sets of Dark bullets following you around, and the party slot cost is the only price.Stacks by party member, not by skill
4Now go catching with itIts bullets cannot reduce a target below 1 Health. That means you can let Daedream chip a catch target down without ever killing it, which is the mistake that costs most early captures.Damage floor of 1 Health

Dark Egg

Daedream shares the four-way Windswept Hills Dark Egg pool with Hoocrates, Depresso and Caprity Noct. You cannot choose which one you get, and three of the four are already outside your door.

Pairs that make a Daedream

38 pairs land on Daedream. The only reason to spend a Cake on one is to hand it a passive set worth carrying in four party slots at once.

DungeonBoth, oddly
Caverns field it at two ranks

Daedream is one of the few early Pals that appears in caverns both as an ordinary spawn at levels 5 to 15 and as an alpha at 10 to 13. It has no field boss.

The 1 Health floor applies to Dream Chaser only. Your other party Pals will happily finish a catch target off, so stow them before the throw.
Wild levels stop at 16. A party of four Daedreams caught at level 4 will fall behind fast, so replace them once you are past the starting islands or breed a set.
Its 1 percent Small Pal Soul drop is not a farm. At that rate you would kill hundreds, and Nox drops the same item at 40 percent.
Why bother
Dream Chaser is the reason to own Daedreams. It fires Dark magic bullets at anything hostile near you and those bullets are hard-capped so they cannot take a target below 1 Health, so a party of them softens catch targets without ever killing one. It also drops a Venom Gland on every catch.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where does Daedream spawn in Palworld 1.0?

Across 241 mapped points on the main island. The Sea Breeze Archipelago holds 86 of them, the ridge at [225, -489] holds 56, and Windswept Island holds 44.

Do multiple Daedreams stack?

Yes. Dream Chaser summons one Daedream beside you per Daedream in the party, so four in the party gives four attackers. The skill itself is not a percentage buff, so there is nothing to cancel out.

Why do people use Daedream for catching?

Its bullets cannot reduce a target below 1 Health. You can leave it firing at a Pal you want to capture and it will never land the kill, which is the usual way an early catch is lost.

What level is a wild Daedream?

Levels 4 to 16, and that is the ceiling. Anything higher has to come out of a Breeding Farm, since Daedream has no field boss at any level.

What does Daedream drop?

One Venom Gland at 100 percent, plus a Small Pal Soul at 1 percent. The Venom Gland is the useful half, since early poison arrows and traps want them.
