Try to tame a low level one first so you can farm blood packs with it, it'll shorten the farming time for a high level bat.

You can also tame a Daeodon first and use it's healing aura when extracting the first few packs, the pig can also help you raise the taming effectiveness for future high level tames, just let it wander on passive near the Desmodus you want to tame, keep some blood packs on it's inventory and let it get picked, it'll raise the effectiveness.

Let it pick you afterwards and feed on your blood packs to raise the taming meter, when it's about to tame, be sure to check if the effectiveness is close to 100%, if not just let it pick the Daeodon some more.

So, desmodus is the genre of the vampire bat, but since this is ark, and there’s already a “small” bat. You can pretty much guarantee that it will not be as little or cute as the cover page.

To raise baby put blood and meat in maewing then it wil eat Every 7 minutes with out blood in maewing it eat evry 30 sec

If you only have a low lvl desi, Diplo are basically walking blood banks. You can easily get a couple hundred blood packs without taking any damage. Can also leave the Diplo alive for more at a later time.

It can only go invisible when latching onto a wall or roof, or from 9:00 PM to 5:15 AM

One of the greatest secret abilities of the desmodus is its ability to fly in caves. Unlike many flyers, the desmodus is actually able to fly without any setting changes required.

It can life steal and do night vishen and go invisible and has a screech that can find animals

This is one of the best tames you can get, dont lose it!!!

Pros:

- good stats hp/damage/weight/stamina

- good fly speed

- can get invisible in the night

- screech

- can latch on any place even trees (careful, the stamina recover is slow when it is latching and if got attacked they loose the wall)

- collect a lot of blood, meat and spoiled meat

- you can use the blood to make elixirs that increase the taming efficiency in 30%( just 1 elixir per tame)

- can shoot while flying

- fast landing

- fast hp recovery

Cons:

- collect too much spoiled meat

- they gathering is limited ( dont get hide, prime and other things)

I dont have any real bad thing to say about desmodus, they have a lot of pros (some I dont listed) and even the cons are not bad, are useful and balanced. Desmodus eat meat, but prefer blood and it recover their hp with this. Now I cant live in ark without one!!

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.

A 150 is about 170 blood packs on 1x offical

To Tame it you mite need blood packets

Hey tribe mate knock that bob out and get the syringe

Fun fact: if you feed the elixir to a baby, juvenile or adolescent Dino even if it’s not ready for it next imprint go into the baby’s inventory and eat the elixir in your inventory and it will give the Dino a 30+ imprint bonus.

On lost colony get blood packs from deinotherium i got like 40 blood packs from one

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

If your trying to find a decent cave=

On fjordior there is a swamp island there on the swamp island there are two caves the big one just has bugs in it the smaller tunnel one has a few onycs and like 2-3 desmodus in it but the cave is kinda hard to find the cave is pointing to the autumn section of the other island

Like the entrance of it.

(Sorry if that sounded confusing)

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

Do you have to give it blood packs ???

To farm blood packs insanely fast find a high level doedicrus and attack with desmodus so easy...

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
