Daedream No. 022

Dark Size XS Not rideable Night
◇ Rarity · Common — a night-time follower

Daedream is the Dark-element Pal at No. 022 — a small, floating spirit you only meet after dark. It looks like a decoration and fights like a second gun: kept in your party it trails behind you firing magic bullets at whatever you attack.

Partner skill
Dream Chaser — This is why you keep a Daedream even when it never leaves its sphere.

Daedream only appears at night — look for its glowing head in the grass of the Windswept Hills, and around the western Sea Breeze Archipelago and Ice Wind Island once the sun is down.

It's neutral and won't start a fight, so weaken it and throw a regular Pal Sphere. It also hatches from a Dark Egg.

Base values before IVs, passives and condensing. A 70/75/60 line is fragile — Daedream chips from range and behind you, it doesn't trade blows.

Work & drops

Work suitabilities
Handiwork Lv 1 Gathering Lv 1 Transporting Lv 1

Three level-1 jobs. Not a standout worker, but it never sits idle at a starter base while it earns its keep in your party.

Drops
Venom Gland

Venom Gland feeds early poison arrows and a few starter recipes.

Partner skill: Dream Chaser

This is why you keep a Daedream even when it never leaves its sphere.

EffectWhile in team, it appears near the player and follows up your attacks with magic bullets — free extra damage on every target you hit.
How to run itIt works from your party without being summoned as your active Pal, so it stacks on top of whatever else you have out.
Why it mattersDark is strong against the Neutral Pals that fill the early game, so Daedream speeds up mob-clearing and XP farming more than its size suggests.

Active skills

Daedream learns its attack kit as it levels — skill text straight from the game:

Lv 1Dark Ball — unleashes a sphere of darkness that slowly tracks down the enemy.
Lv 7Poison Blast — hurls poison sludge at an enemy.
Lv 15Shadow Burst — quickly discharges dark energy, damaging those around it.
Lv 22Crystal Breath — enshrouds an enemy in a frigid blast of air, dealing continuous damage.
Lv 30Spirit Flame — sends out three pursuing balls of malice.
Lv 40Nightmare Ball — creates a giant ball of darkness and hurls it at an enemy.
Lv 50Dark Laser — charges dark energy before blasting enemies with a powerful beam.

The story of Daedream

Daedream drifts through the night looking, to most people, like a bad dream that wandered off. It's harmless alone and clings to anything that will have it, trailing after a partner and lashing out at threats with small bolts of malice. It is, in its way, deeply loyal — it just expresses it by shooting things near you.

Paraphrased from Daedream's in-game Paldeck entry.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

Day 6. The Daedream refuses to acknowledge daylight exists. Comes out at dusk, spends the night helpfully shooting at moths, and vanishes at dawn. Nocturnal to a fault.

Day 14. Realised it's been quietly finishing off half the things I fight. I take the credit, it takes the shot, we don't discuss it.

Day 25. Woke to find it hovering over my bedroll like a small purple nightlight. Unsettling. Kept it.

Daedream, answered

Where do you find and catch Daedream?

Daedream only appears at night — look for its glowing head in the grass of the Windswept Hills, and around the western Sea Breeze Archipelago and Ice Wind Island once the sun is down. It's neutral and won't start a fight, so weaken it and throw a regular Pal Sphere. It also hatches from a Dark Egg.

What does Dream Chaser do?

While in team, it appears near the player and follows up your attacks with magic bullets — free extra damage on every target you hit.

Is Daedream good?

Early on, yes, for its role: Three level-1 jobs. Its stats are modest, so lean on the partner skill and trade up by midgame.

How do you breed Daedream?

It has no unique combo — pairs like Killamari with Lamball, or Cattiva with Vixy produce it. Breed repeatedly to stack good passive skills onto one you like.

What does Daedream drop?

It drops Venom Gland. Venom Gland feeds early poison arrows and a few starter recipes.

Can you ride Daedream?

No. Daedream isn't a mount — it's a floating follower that fights from your party. For an early ride, look at Direhowl or Rushoar.
