ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Theese things are busted, a good imprinted Desmy will drain stamina so slow you barely have to worry about it, natural nightvision, can fly in caves (and on aberration if you spawn one in ((fliers usually don't let you even hop on on AB), can turn invisible and latch to walls and ceilings you can use the echolocation to detect any enemies you can't see. They naturally regen health a little when attacking (you don't have to use the lifesteal just regular attacks regen health), they collect insane amounts of bloodpacks and from what I've observed as long as they have bloodpacks in their inventory they can consume them on a 30sec cooldown to heal 2000 health. They deal decent damage and are insanely maneuverable so they can take on absolutely any threat too. You can use weapons on the backs of them. They fly fast and can pick things up (from my observation their carry ability is in-between an argy and a griffin) also I can pick up a deinonychus WITH THE RIDER STILL ON IT with one (Saved my friend and his Deinon from lava once) and that's all the not that well documented stuff on this. This thing is insane.
More Desmodus Utility Tips
You can STEAL WYVERN eggs using the invisibility ability at night
THE ELIXIR IT MAKES DOES WORK ON PASSIVE TAMES!!! You just have to feed it the required food first and then you can use the elixir!
Echolocation will probably work like snow owl and bloodstalker mixed together
Desmodus are immune to radiation. Tried and tested. Great for rock drake trench. :)
to change the ability to lifesteal for console is holding square while riding it up for more people to see
This is one of the best tames in all of ark! It is the only flyer that can go in caves it has night vision it can go invisible and it has echolocation. It can get blood packs very easily. And it is the only way to craft sanguine elixer which can give an automatic 30% to either taming or imprinting ( note it can only be used once per imprint/tame) it also has a life steal effect and you can shoot while riding. It is also fast and has a dive ability kind of like the snow owl it can land on walls and roofs and also it has decent health and melee. Definitely worth the tame!
You can detect active bee hive using screech on them. The one with the Queen bee will be highlighted. Up if new
Only harvest's regular meat and spoiled meat, donβt try for prime or mutton, just goes straight to spoiled meat. ^^^
Would be op on gen 1 for bloodstalkers because desmo = blood packs
These guys are super good. They can go through caveβs without dismount, immune to radiation and capture rock drake egg easy as pie on fjorder. Tame them as soon as you can π¦
