Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Desmodus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Can Sense any Animals that Feed on blood like Lamprey and Bloodstalkers and like the other Comment from someone echolocation to Locate nearby Creatures and objects including Specific ones and a Bleed effect on any victim it bites

I think U should be able to set it to two different attacks when ur not on it (like the pegomastix)

Normal: it will attack normally, it will already be on this setting when first tamed. It might fly around and bite enemies like a dimorph

Blood sucking: when you set it to…

If your ever on the swamp island on fjordur be careful these flickers despite being cave creature can and will either spawn out of nowhere or rise from the ground grab you off your mount and Frick you up and then you'll get jumped by the entirety of pandora so either keep…

Oh my gosh!!!!

These things can turn INVISIBLE!!!!!!!

I think these are one of the easiest animals to tame!!!

Probably a bug but these will latch to the map ceiling. Like fly straight up and hit the bubble and hang from it.

Perfect to sneak in and out of the Magmasaur cave during the night as it’s invisibility will allow you to not have a horde of Onycs following you. (Won’t hide you from the Magmasaurs once you grab their eggs until your out of the cave and out of render.)

To tame them I went with a tribe member we put a bed outside of their cave in case one of us died, had a tribe member on a strong flyer and we would shoot one with a dart let it pick up the member on foot and they will get blood packs and tame themselves then other tribe member…

So...YOU CAN USE SANGUINE ELIXER TO TAME NOGLIN!. so I was using my voidwryms/net gun to tame one up. Once it had 80 percent, I net the noglin with the elixer in my hot bar, and go up to it and use it and boom noglin tamed. I haven't seen this tip anywhere so hope it helps

Do yourself a favor and tame a DAEODON and use it to get the taming effectiveness up. They are MUCH more effective than Moschops. Daeodon increases the TE by 5 or 6 percent for each time the Desmodus picks them up.

Advantages:

Can go invisible at night or when hanging (great for trying to steal wyvern eggs and then dying)

Can hang on walls (honestly completely op ability)

Gets blood packs from hit

Can make a liquid in inventory to get 30% tame progress and effectiveness when eaten…

On the Ford map, I use the Desmodus’s nightvison to scout out snails in the swamp and bring them back to base, even if you don’t have the resources to make sweet vegetable cake you can get a handful of cementing paste if your patient.

This guy can harvest cooked meat from the barrels that give cooked meat at high quantities but only those barrels so only use him on the barrels that give food
