More Desmodus Taming & KO Tips
You should tame a low level first get tons of blood packs then tame a high level
Blood extraction syringe + snow owl = easy blood packs to tame your first desmodus
1) get good armor so itβs attacks donβt kill you
2) get a bunch of blood packs, dying and respawning with full health is faster than healing it all up
3) actually find one, recommended is a spyglass o and a good weapon or a strong tame to take out the bugs in caves, I usually go to the emerald trench and look for them on the ceiling in the wide-open cave
4) Find a good level and kill its friends. Shooting it with anything will get its attention.
5) DONT ATTACT THE ONE YOU WANT TO TAME! instead, let it grab you and eat your blood packs, this raises the taming bar
6) be careful not to take fall damage, and repeat the grabbing and bam you got a Desmodus!
Be careful out there!
Steps to Tame a high level Desmodus with 100% Effektiveness (you need a low level Desmodus to start) :
Step 1: Tame a Stego/Andrewsarchus and saddle them (the saddle on the Andrew is essential!)
Step 2: Tame a Moschops of any level
Step 3: Farm 400-600 Bloodpacks
Step 4: After finding your target Desmodus take out your Stego/Andrewsarchus and your Moschops
Step 5: Put all the Bloodpacks except for the last 100 in the Moschops (the other 100 you keep in your own inventory)
Step 6: put the Moschops on "Following: Lowest" and let it follow your Andrew/Stego
Step 7: Aggro the Desmodus by approaching it and let it grab the moschops, the Desmodus will eat 10 Bloodpacks from the Moschops' inventory and then drop it, this will raise its Effectiveness by 1-3% (repeat this until the Desmodus is at 100% Effectivness. Do not unmount while doing this!)
Step 8: once the Desmodus is at 100% Effectiveness unmount and offer yourself up to the Desmodus. It will grab you and eat 10 Bloodpacks and then drop you.
Step 9: after it dropped you immediately mount your Andrew/Stego again. And let it grab the Moschops again so it's Effectiveness goes back up to 100%
Step 10: Repeat Step 8 & 9 until the Desmodus is tamed.
This will allow you to get perfect tames.
Easy not try hard taming: Put blood packs in your inventory, and multiple parachute. Let it grab YOU, after a little it'll drop you, parachute down. Repeat, easy. These comments make you think it's hard, it's not.
Babies CAN EAT MEAT as a baby to raise them.
In Fjordur the spawn locations are :
Latitude:38 Longitude:75, inside a cave under a waterfall
Latitude: 90 Longitude: 78, cave as well
Latitude: 50 Longitude: 14, cave
Use a Daedon, put meat inside, set to passive, passive healing on and kill all the other desmodus until there is only one, then duck under the Daedon and the desmodus will grab it, suck it's blood and the effectiveness will go up 3-4%, don't leave the area, hide and wait until 100%. Once 100% effectiveness, let it grab you (make sure you have 150-200 blood packs) and you'll tame it. Use cryopods if possible to bring back the Daedon.
Use tames that is carry-able by the desmodus that's on wonder and passive and get the desmodus to pick it up several times and this will increase taming effectiveness .
Make sure to have parachutes because they fly up when taming and will drop you.
