== Gameplay ==
Dastardos acts as the grim reaper to your piñatas. When a piñata gets sick (suck as through eating poisonous food, fights, or getting stuck), you will have some time to attempt to heal the piñata before Dastardos appears (approximately 3 minutes).


== Tips ==
Once Dastardos appears, he will slowly float into your garden, making a beeline for the sick piñata. He will sing an ominous tune as he does so. Dastardos will phase through any obstacles that would otherwise block his access to the piñata. Once he reaches the piñata, he will smash it open, taking their life candy, (though will leave the generic life candy). If there are any other sick piñata in the garden, he will continue to smash them until there are none left, even if there would normally still be some time before he arrives to collect.
 
Dastardos cannot be stopped by normal means. Unlike [[Professor Pester|Pester]] and the [[Ruffians]], he cannot be bribed. He will not react to being watered, and un-upgraded shovels will be ineffectual. Water and obstacles also do not slow him down.
 
=== Tips ===
The best way to deal with Dastardos is to simply not let him spawn in the first place. Breaking sour candy immediately, keeping weeds under control, or stopping fights are all things to do to prevent your piñata’s from getting sick. If and when they do get sick, quickly calling [[Doc Patchingo|Patch]] will prevent the reaper from ever haunting your garden.
 
If Dastardos does appear to threaten your piñatas, there are still some methods to deal with him. Although early in the game, you will be powerless to stop him.
 
The [[Dastardos Scarer]] will give you more time before Dastardos spawns in. (Approximately 10 minutes)
 
A tamed [[Sherbat]] or [[Crowla]] can be directed to him. Both will do a dance, distracting him and making him temporarily stop his advance.
 
Obtaining the Dastardos Shovelhead upgrade from either [[Ivor Bargain|Ivor]] (classic) or [[Lottie]] (TIP) will finally allow you to wallop him with your shovel. Doing so will momentarily stun him.
