Tips & Strategies
They can be found In the cave near the emerald trench (the canyon with green colored crystals and hexagon rocks) follow the trench all the way up and there will be a cave with spiders centipede and onic (smaller non-rideable bats that can give you mega rabies so maybe bring cures) after you go In use a spyglass or if you have one a snow owl to look for them try to find a low level so it wont kill you and you don’t need as much blood then put the blood packs in your last inventory slot and get it to attack you and pick you up rinse and repeat until tamed then use that one to get blood and tame a higher level. Hope this was helpful thanks for reading ☺️
One of the comments suggest using snow owl to get blood for first one. Not bad, but every time you heal using owl, it’ll go through your meat. If you can make med brew.
DON'T bring a tamed desmodus into the desmodus cave. They will grab you when you're up high and kick your ass
When you kill something with the bat you get blood packs with blood
Use a megalaina to increase its taming effectiveness make sure to put some lvl into the megalainas health works like a charm moshops work to but found megas better
Get a good pteranodon, build a trap made of double doorways and a gate in the front, use the pteranodon to lure the bats into the trap(Pteranodons can fit through double doorways but bats can’t) net gun all the bats, close the gate, kill the low level bats, then tame the one you want.
So based off what we know Desmodus is a vampire bat, speculating that it will have an echolocation ability and be able to drink blood (somewhat like blood wyvern) it would be interesting to see if it could be used in some of the larger caves not necessarily as a flyer but as a climber along with possible attachment to enemies (like deinonychus), all just speculation, I hope people love it! :)
These tames are insane at killing alphas I have a 170 was a level 80 wild tame and I have killed over 20 alphas in two days that includes level 90 alphas Rex’s they are also use blood packs to instant heal once they reach a low enough health percent
Pretty important to note that in order to receive the extra levels for efficiency you need to "feed" it a passive small creature before/ during the taming process. Each time it feeds on you it loses efficiency I don't know what tame is best used but I am using a Moschops and it is working well.
They pick you up and eat blood packs out your inventory
It was hard to tame my 156 it’s took a lot of blood I died a lot
Make sure to bring a parachute it’s going to drop you sometimes k
Bring BLOODPACKS to tame :)
