What are tips for desmodus? Tips and strategies for desmodus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Dont fully understand the glitch but on xbox multiplayer, the desmodus cannot reliably attack or use the invisibility. It started with just second player then we realized it switches back forth and even if only one player is using it sometimes the attacks just dont wont. Havent been able to find any other threads about this
To tame desmodus take snow owl and go to waterfal cave,take srynge then take blood,then heal with snow owl and after 20 blood,go in cave with spyglass and look for low level,tame it,and attack other creatures to get blood packs then go again in watrtfall cave and tame bigger level one
If you want a high level Desmo, tame a little dino like a moshop and leave him in passive next to a Desmo for it to pick it. Do it some time and it's your turn to be picked
Always take much more blood packs so if some else desmosus attatck you it will eat blood packs and not you.
These are probably the best flier for taming for one reason: You can shoot while flying. And unlike tapejara, you do it from the drivers seat.
Juice stamina to be sure you can stay in the air, keep yourself hovering out of reach and tranq away. If it runs, you can chase it down. Smaller animals can be carried (but not as much as argy can). You could probably chase down most fleeing fliers too. Great for me as I cannot seem to get traps to work.
This is without thinking about the elixir which will save you a ton of time on taming.
Stock up on blood bags.
Grab some parachutes and some sleeping bags ( I usually bring 2 stacks of both)
Have the blood bags on you use the parachute as soon as you are picked up it will stay deployed until your feet hit the ground. (Works best with two players)
These guy are great at stealing wyvern eggs, go invisible at night and boom easy wyverns or any egg you want. They can go in caves so feel free to get some rock drake or magmasaur eggs. Blood packs to tame of just let them eat at your health sacrificing an tamed animal with blood packs gives good taming effectiveness. Blood packs can be farmed by a desmodus and crafted into sanguine elixir which will give an instant 30% taming. Can dive silently, not as good as GRIFFINS but you gain good speed. They can latch on to ceiling or walls and can do a screech showing the location of dinos. (THIS WORKS BETTER AT NIGHT) I use mine to tame gigas since you can shoot on them. That's all I have to say
I know your gonna name you desmodus DRACULA don't lie
I found the best way to get blood and meat with this guy is fined a bronto and get right on the top of the back and it can't hit you there well the ones I tested didn't.and the blood can be used to farm blood stalkers cus you can put them all around your home perfrably cave and they can pull people off there tames .and you can heal on the fly with all the blood packs
When you are using blood packs to tame it use a snow owl to heal you
To get high efficiency you need to let it eat a lot of blood.
Prepare a few hundred blood packs get a tame they can grab like mochops put the blood packs into its inventory and lead the desmodus to it. They will grab it and then let it fall down and fly around for a bit u till they grab it again. This will take a while every time it grabs it the taming efficiency will rise by a few percent. Sometimes the desmodus will fly to far and not go back then you need to guide it back to the mochops. Once taming efficiency is at 100% you need to let it grab you to finish the taming. For this it's good to have blood packs in your inventory and maybe a parachute as they will let you fall down once they are tamed.
