What are tips for desmodus? Tips and strategies for desmodus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
so yes,you can raise these amazing creatures off of meat and blood packs make sure to use both !!! Alot of it ,But i will say Even on 3x xp events it is a VERY LONG PROCESS !!!
Use leveled up pigs to tame, much better than moschops! I used 3 tamed pigs, while I rode a stego (hardened plates to prevent being picked up), whistled them around for the desmodus to pick them up. It took a few minutes, but eventually got taking effectiveness to 100%. Then I put pigs away, let desmodus pick me up with blood packs in my 0 bar. Worked like a charm!
Before taming, equip an elixir in your hot bar. As the Desmo attacks you, spam the elixir until you drink it. This will give you the 30% taming increase! Works with shine horns too!
Bro these are practically early game
Tame 2 moscops of opposite genders.
Breed them
Tame lystro to level their health
Drain blood like CRAAAAAZZZZZZYYYYYY
them use low level desmodus to get a bunch of blood and repeat the steps for a higher level
Demos are just bigger onycs that you can ride
If you don't have blood packs it can still take from ur base heath
Feed these boys moschops do get up their taming effectiveness
Not sure if this is a thing or just weird coincidence, but when I tamed mine it seemed to gain efficiency faster from tames at night than it did during the day, as well as taming faster at night too.
If anyone could confirm this that’d be awesome, I may have just had some weird stuff work in my favor.
Whats up with the movement speed ? , it doesn’t increase with level ups and wild levels seem to actually matter for movement speed
They spawn in large groups. If you don’t wanna get passed around on a compromising way, Like them out of the cave. Have at least a one by structure with a bed close by, fast travel, kite them outside the cave, die, respawn, pick the one you want, tame it. Be sure to have parachutes and plenty of blood packs. Tamed mine without ever hitting the ground after first pick up.
