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 :)
Not CRAZY hard to tame, but still hard
All you need is:
About 300 bloodpacks (Probably overkill)
A daedon (leveled in health, also put 100 bloodpacks in its inventory)
An andrewsarchus (idk if you need a saddle or no, but this will be your shelter)
Keep the remaining 200 bloodpacks in your inventory, and find your bat and set up camp. Send out your daedon by the bat. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING NEARBY IS PASSIVE. Go run under your daedon and wait for the bat to attack and pick up your pig. This will boost its effectiveness. After that, let him pick YOU up. This will tame the creature. Rinse and repeat
You can do it with no blood packs but you need a crap ton of med brews
This upgraded Onyc is insane! Not only is it rideable, it can turn invisible, making it much easier to sneak in and out of enemy territory undetected! However, in the scenario that the enemy DOES detect you, you can confuse them with a loud, shrill shriek, or pick the enemy up! Let’s hope this beast doesn’t get nerfed, it’s pretty OP
Absolute must take in my opinion. Can drain blood to heal, has a echo location move that tells you where nearby creatures, can glide like a griffin and go invisible at night making wyvern eggs 10x easier to grab as they only go after you the second you grab the egg or hop off the bat.
you can use this to tame bloodstalkers
As others have stated. It takes a gd year to hit 100%. Your better off quantity over quality when looking for good states. Treat em like deins. Eventually you'll get decent stats. Honestly. Just quick tame all high levels and combine em when you get high rolls.
Easy tame, Ride on andrewsarchus and shoot with fab or longneck, get it to attack high hp moschops and then run under it with blood packs. Great flyer on day 2. Tamed 3 in under 30mins.
A really cool idea for the Desmodus (since it's a vampire bat) is basically give it blood offerings by giving it unconcious dinos to feed onto... or yourself if you're brave enough. The bigger the dino, the faster/better the tame. ALSO I second the petition to make this the cryopod icon, most definitely!
Desmodus, along with any fjordur and lost isles exclusives are not on the switch edition despite their saddle being unlockable, spawn commands don’t seem to work to spawn them either.
