Hoonbaba

Description
Hoonbaba is a tamable Elite enemy found roaming in a field in Dawnbreak Woods just to the West of Kellwoods, within Hakanas Highlands. The player needs to possess a Dark Ward Scroll in order to tame Hoonbaba.



Strategy
Hoonbaba is the only familiar that actually drops its own mark recipe. Otherwise, he is a pretty simple creature to tame. He has very little in the way of hostiles around him.

How to Tame


In order to tame Hoonbaba, the player must obtain a Dark Ward Scroll, which surprisingly enough, Hoonbaba himself drops the recipe for. It's not a very uncommon drop but can require having to kill him a few times to finally see one. The items required for the recipe can be gathered all within the surrounding area where you find him. Most of the creatures have a chance of dropping Dark Essence, and the Giant Nettle can be gathered from picking Sage Grass which can be found in all regions, except Brakarr Forest.

Once the scroll has been obtained, you should firstly lower his HP a bit before attempting, as with all Elites, your success chance increases the lower it is.
