Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Desmodus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Use this guy on high level tek stryders for lots of bloodpacks without collecting spoiled or raw meat
when you tame them make sure u put meat in it can also eat spoiled meat they don’t eat blood they just take it from u to tame it!
Don’t listen to those who say only blood packs or only meat for raising babies. Use both since there’s a cooldown for blood packs so it’ll eat meat in between.
Only meat= starve
Only blood packs= starve
Both= A sweet new flyer
They are very useful. 1- you can easily tame anything with them like a giga or more bc you can shoot while riding on them. 2- they're elixir is very good to tame passive taming dinos and it's easy to craft the elixir or tame them. Up if this helped
When your at the cave get blood packs to heal when they sucking on you
Im not sure about anyone else but I've tamed 4 high level bats and according to dododex they all have low stam, very high food, high melee and very low weight, and average everything else im not sure if wildcard changed the bats in an update and dododex haven't yet
Love it except...when I am holding anything it will not attack. I was holding a GPS and another time a torch and I couldn't get it'l to attack. Attaching torch onto it's saddle works but I was killed by something stupid when I realised my mouse presses were not…

Use an imprinted health leveled moschops with blood packs to raise the effectiveness first. Then let it pick you up with packs in your inventory to tame. Easy way for great tame.
Harpoon net traps what you want for easy picking of the ones you don't. Let them pick you up with blood bags in your inventory. Will drop you so have parachute. Gather blood bags per hit and spoiled meat and raw meat upon eating corpses. Screech sonars enemies in front of…

In the green crystal cave at the south western island (68.3, 37.0) there are multiple desmodus spawns with groups of up to four high on the ceiling. Kill any low levels and within minutes more will spawn in. No leaving render distance required! Got a 150 in minutes.
Wowee Desmodus trap.
So I’ve been having the problem on fjordur as literally a naked dude on a level 100 PT. I’m trying to get a desmodus to make things a bit easier and BAM! Idea. I have force cave flyers on so you need to turn that on for this. But the waterfall cave…

So I’ve been having the problem on fjordur as literally a naked dude on a level 100 PT. I’m trying to get a desmodus to make things a bit easier and BAM! Idea. I have force cave flyers on so you need to turn that on for this. But the waterfall cave around 75 35 by a little village is perfect for this! They can’t get past wood so just set up a bunch of double door frames across the mouth of the cave, take your good PT and bait the suckers out! Then you can use the PT to cull any off you don’t want! Hope that helps up if it does!
-Teeny
the babies cannot take cooked meat!!!bloodpacks or raw meat!learned this after many times of falling asleep thinking they were eating from my maewing🤦🏽♂️
Can fly in aberration? Hmmmmmmmmm
I was trying to Tame a 135 snow owl enar the Blue obelisk in Fjordur... A pack of Desmodeus came to kill me an my ptero. The strange thing is that I wasn't able to see them even the next times I went there. Now I hate them.
Desmodus can’t harvest anything other than raw meat and spoiled meat, even from tek dinos. Use a rex or other dino if you need to get hide, chitin, prime, etc. However, Desmodus can harvest cooked meat and scrap metal from full shipwreck barrels.
Kill onyx with this guy cleared the metal room in Moria and ended up with 600 blood packs
One of the easiest to tame and is the best flyer for me. Its a lot faster than an argy although it can only carry small dinos. Just bring a lot of blood bags and beds just in case. Also you can easily steal magmasaur eggs in caves using the invisibility.
Creatures won’t attack or notice you while you are invisible, but if they see you go invisible or they are either attacking you are running from you they will still see you. Great for getting to wyvern egg but once the egg is taken they will still attack you will invisible.
Will eat tek dino like it does any other and turn it into spoiled meat, farm carefully survivors!
