You can STEAL WYVERN eggs using the invisibility ability at night up

This is one of the best tames in all of ark! It is the only flyer that can go in caves it has night vision it can go invisible and it has echolocation. It can get blood packs very easily. And it is the only way to craft sanguine elixer which can give an automatic 30% to either taming or imprinting ( note it can only be used once per imprint/tame) it also has a life steal effect and you can shoot while riding. It is also fast and has a dive ability kind of like the snow owl it can land on walls and roofs and also it has decent health and melee. Definitely worth the tame!

THE ELIXIR IT MAKES DOES WORK ON PASSIVE TAMES!!! You just have to feed it the required food first and then you can use the elixir! Up if this helps for shadowland taming!!!

In Fjordur the spawn locations are :

Latitude:38 Longitude:75, inside a cave under a waterfall

Latitude: 90 Longitude: 78, cave as well

Latitude: 50 Longitude: 14, cave

Use a Daedon, put meat inside, set to passive, passive healing on and kill all the other desmodus until there is only one, then duck under the Daedon and the desmodus will grab it, suck it's blood and the effectiveness will go up 3-4%, don't leave the area, hide and wait until 100%. Once 100% effectiveness, let it grab you (make sure you have 150-200 blood packs) and you'll tame it. Use cryopods if possible to bring back the Daedon.

Blood extraction syringe + snow owl = easy blood packs to tame your first desmodus

Echolocation will probably work like snow owl and bloodstalker mixed together

Steps to Tame a high level Desmodus with 100% Effektiveness (you need a low level Desmodus to start) :

Step 1: Tame a Stego/Andrewsarchus and saddle them (the saddle on the Andrew is essential!)

Step 2: Tame a Moschops of any level

Step 3: Farm 400-600 Bloodpacks

Step 4: After finding your target Desmodus take out your Stego/Andrewsarchus and your Moschops

Step 5: Put all the Bloodpacks except for the last 100 in the Moschops (the other 100 you keep in your own inventory)

Step 6: put the Moschops on "Following: Lowest" and let it follow your Andrew/Stego

Step 7: Aggro the Desmodus by approaching it and let it grab the moschops, the Desmodus will eat 10 Bloodpacks from the Moschops' inventory and then drop it, this will raise its Effectiveness by 1-3% (repeat this until the Desmodus is at 100% Effectivness. Do not unmount while doing this!)

Step 8: once the Desmodus is at 100% Effectiveness unmount and offer yourself up to the Desmodus. It will grab you and eat 10 Bloodpacks and then drop you.

Step 9: after it dropped you immediately mount your Andrew/Stego again. And let it grab the Moschops again so it's Effectiveness goes back up to 100%

Step 10: Repeat Step 8 & 9 until the Desmodus is tamed.

This will allow you to get perfect tames.

One of the comments suggest using snow owl to get blood for first one. Not bad, but every time you heal using owl, it’ll go through your meat. If you can make med brew.

They can't dismount you from an Andrewsarchus saddle sit safely within the cockpit and pick off the bats you don't want

Desmodus are immune to radiation. Tried and tested. Great for rock drake trench. :)

156 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Jun 16, 2022   Report

Use tames that is carry-able by the desmodus that's on wonder and passive and get the desmodus to pick it up several times and this will increase taming effectiveness .

These guys are super good. They can go through cave’s without dismount, immune to radiation and capture rock drake egg easy as pie on fjorder. Tame them as soon as you can 🦇

Make sure to have parachutes because they fly up when taming and will drop you.
