Tips & Strategies

A 150 gets about .5% effectiveness each time it grabs the moschops. So it takes 100 times of it picking it up to get up to 100% effectiveness
More Desmodus Taming & KO Tips
You should tame a low level first get tons of blood packs then tame a high level
For a decent level one you only need some 40-60 blood packs, and just have them in your inventory, not in your hotbar(although you can have them on hotbar) and then agro it. I use a longneck, but you can just use a bow. Once it agros let it get you. It will grab you and carry you around, draining blood packs, and taming. The game will tell you to attack to escape but donβt do that it wonβt help the taming. If your looking for some on fjordur, then from the mainland go to the snowy mountains across the ocean and look for hexagon pillars of rock, forming a canyon, exactly like a wyvern trench. There will be 2 cave entrances, take the one on the right. You can do this at any level as long as you have:
A flyer to get there and back
Blood packs.
If on x1 taming rates then you should only need ~50 blood packs for a level 100.
Blood extraction syringe + snow owl = easy blood packs to tame your first desmodus
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.
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.
They can't dismount you from an Andrewsarchus saddle sit safely within the cockpit and pick off the bats you don't want
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.
Babies take bloodpacks as food when raising.
