May not be the safest, but the best way to get blood packs with these guys is going to Rockwell inners and hit those microphages (the tiny little things that fly around). It's dangerous so I have a hawk on me just in case. If you don't have Gen 2 then brontos are next best.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Desmodus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
People keep saying that you can steal wyvern eggs with th invisibility but that is not true.
I tried this and lost all my best loot
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 !!!
It is op when you are taking something you get the elixir and use it and there pretty much half way
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…

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!
A very easy tame and a good flyer. Best for harvesting rotten meat and blood packs.
Spawn:
They spawn in caves in Fjordur. Usually in groups

A very easy tame and a good flyer. Best for harvesting rotten meat and blood packs.
Spawn:
They spawn in caves in Fjordur. Usually in groups
Taming requirements:
1) Blood packs x50 ( the more the better, I carry more than 100 )
2) Shotgun ( makkees it easy to. Shoot mid air )
3) full flak armor
4) Parachutes x10
Taming:
As. They are passive tame u cannot knock them out. Just wear full flak armor remember to carry a shotgun with enough ammo and 5-10 parachutes
Keep around a 100 blood packs. I carry 400 just in case.
By encountering them they will come rushing at you for your blood and pick u and fly up. Remember to keep the blood packs on your " 0 " slot. Usually the low level ones come at you first , this is where the shotgun comes handy , if the level is not to your. Liking just gun it down and. Use parachute to land safely. They do little to noo damage when you're wearing flak. If you're low on health just drink a blood pack.
If the level is to your liking just let it carry you around
And it will drink blood from the packs by itself.
A tribe mate supporting you will make the Tamee more. Easy as they can kill all the. Other unwanted blood suckers.
They will drop you a few times and u parachute down and just run without holding the shift key
They will pick you up again. Continue this and congratulations you have your blood pack harvester.
When used on Dinos at Night, the Echolocation ability will allow the bat to do significantly More Damage on creatures being pinged by it.

These guys are really good for taming. You can shoot off their backs and they can take some hits. You can latch while taming yuty, and it won't run away, but it faces you towards the saddle. Good for finding basilisks with night vision
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
Does not collect anything but spoiled meat, meat, and blood packs, even on tek creatures!
Brontos, dippys, alphas or any large creature are the best for getting loads of blood packs with a desmodus.
If you don't have blood packs it can still take from ur base heath
Demos are just bigger onycs that you can ride
Tamed Desmodus will heal himself with bloodpack, while not in battle. Sometimes its heals instantly, sometimes with delay. But thath mechanic perfectly fits for strategy "hit and run"
Feed these boys moschops do get up their taming effectiveness
Babies take both blood packs and meat
When you face down and start the dive bomb, you can move to the side instead of down to keep dive bomb momentum, whilst moving to the side.
D o d o d e x u put both tapy and tropo on the pick up chart, pls put the desmodus on there as well
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…
