Tips & Strategies
I haven’t seen anyone mention anything about babies but they eat raw meat they won’t drink blood the blood packs. Hope this helps
To Tame it you mite need blood packets
Hey tribe mate knock that bob out and get the syringe
A 150 is about 170 blood packs on 1x offical
It can turn invisible at night and while it is latched upside down during both night and day. Every time it bites a creature, it adds blood packs to it's inventory, making it good to use to tame bloodstalkers. It collects tons of spoiled meat when it eats corpses making it also good for narcotic farming. It has echolocation which allows it to ping all nearby creatures, and finally it has the ability to dive similar to the griffin and snow owl. It's tamed passively by putting blood packs in the last slot of your hotbar and letting it pick you up.
Put lots raw meat in maewing when raising babies. Do not use blood packs or cooked meat. It will starve due to the cool down timer on blood packs.
Desmodus can be tamed with blood packs, it’s a passive tame, and you can give it smaller tames of yours to make its efficiency go higher for more levels.
The Desmodus can harvest spoiled meat in absurd amounts, the bigger the creature, the more spoiled meat you get, which is good for getting narcotics.
Desmodus can also harvest blood packs from creatures, without killing the creature. If you have 200 blood packs in the Desmoduses inventory, you can craft a sanguine elixir, which is good for taming, as it raises the taming bar by 30. It can also be used for imprinting + passive taming.
At night, you can use echolocation, which turns the Desmodus invisible, meaning you can easily steal Wyvern eggs, Drake eggs, etc.
The Desmodus also can fly in caves.
Can only turn invisible at night and screech reaches really far , amazing tame u need blood packs grabs you like bloodstalker will eat the blood packs to tame
Use a daedon on passive to increase taming effectiveness. Has much higher health, heal rate and a saddle which allows it to easily tank lvl150 bats
When the des drops you and you have parachute active shoot him with heal beam from tek pistol to give 100% tame effective UP THIS IT WORKS!!
you can use a shild while taming the desmodus. He will still pick you up, but the desmodus won't be able to damage you.
My friend: you tamed that low level Des?
Me: I did, still not craft the saddle for it so it's in cryopod
My friend: HOW? The blood bags are still in the fridge.
I smiled as she shocked by the massive red messages in tribe log.
You don't need blood packs to tame a Desmodus, you are the blood pack yourself. Just pack 3 beds and sacrifice yourself to the low level Desmodus so you can have blood packs for higher levels.... or just do it the normal, painless way.
Find one single it out have blood bags in last slot of hotbar have plenty of parachutes let pick you up drops you parachute down rinse repeat
Oh my god that logo….it’s terrifying!
Babies won't eat blood packs while you're offline. I've lost two babies this way.
Easy way to tame them early game or as a first tame:
Spawn in the bottom left area and get situated (around level 20).
Few things are necessary:
1: Hide armour at least.
2: Bloas, Basic tools from wooden crates, ability to kill creatures when needed (mainly spiders and scorpions).
3: Locating the Emerald river. Wyvern-Trench esk rocks on the coast.
4: Enough blood packs. Repeatedly kill yourself by acquiring your own blood and respawn at sleeping bags or a bed.
Enter cave and do some simple mass murder. Head to the right on entrance as there’s less typical cave creature spawns and more desmodus. Using a spyglass you will have (crystal can be gathered at the emerald river), look for a relatively low level or something alone. Get nice and close and fire an arrow at it. It’ll be scary when it comes to you and you’re on the ground, but even if it doesn’t work, what’s there to lose. You’re only low level. When it picks you up, since it’s a low level, it’ll likely tame quite quickly. Whistle follow and quickly run away with your new pet bat or otherwise fend off the other bats. Or maybe tame them too.
Taming low levels is very easy to do, it’s a great way to get started on the map. It can’t do right much for now, no saddle. So it can protect you until you’re high enough level, look cool as hell, and be whistled to attack to get blood backs which allows you to make elixir. Easier taming. I believe it is craftable without the saddle, but don’t count on it. Enjoy your easy bat.
