Tips & Strategies

Best way tame a low level get a lot of blood packs get a high level they upgrade easy just use the red things there’s like 200 of them but they have night vision and invisibly one of the best tames ever, they are the best for stealing wyven eggs just go invisible and activate night vision grab a egg fly up then dive and turn invisible again because the wyvens will shoot fire and stuff and when you get hit your invisibility will go away hence why you have to fly up then dive
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.
If you carry enough blood pack you will accidentally tame them all. lol guess ive got an army now.
I love the design on this the Desmondus it has an echo location ability and can turn invisible in the night. It should be able to pick creatures up. I’m very excited for its release
They are all over the swamp island on fjordur
Bring parachute it will drop you
As of right now on Tuesday 6/14/22 they use less blood packs then the taming calculator says, I would still bring more then needed though about 80/120 blood packs for 130-150 tames, once you tame one just using basic right trigger atacks on wild dinos will get you blood packs back for more desmodus tames!
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!
When encountering you will want to stay a ways back. It will probably have a far agrro area so you will need to stay back and shoot it. It will likely be with onycs to so you will have blood loss and tons of angry bats. It will reside in caves and will be like a vampire bat so watch out. It will stay away from but it may be stronger than the onyc so it leads me to believe it may fight titanaboa cause it is the apex predator of onyc so the desmodus will fight it cause the titanaboa thinks desmodus is onycs.

Tame a Snow Owl first, then get bloodpacks, heal yourself with its freeze attack, and repeat... Up for new players to know!
I will only tame this bat if it looks just like the shown picture...lol just saying
Here’s a some steps to tame a high level bat:
Step 1: get some blood packs from yourself(69-89)
Step 2: tame a low level desmodus
Step 3: use the desmodus to look for a high level you want
Step 4: look at Dododex to see how many blood packs you need
Step 5: use the desmodus to get enough blood packs for that level
STEP 6: just go right in and tame that bad boy >:D
EXTRA: the reason I suggest taming a low level desmodus is because it would be faster to get blood packs using it rather than using yourself and having to wait to heal or respawn. Hope this helps!
To get at %100 effectiveness and max lvls gained tame a good lvl moschop pump nothing but health put blood packs on the chop let bat pick up the chop not you it will gain effectiveness but not tame % once at %100 then let the bat grab you while having blood packs on you to tame it up this to help pretty easy tame start with low lvl to get lots of easy packs for higher lvl
i have looked at the youtube tier lists for fjordur and this is always at the top! i would argue but still good mount.
