What are tips for desmodus? Tips and strategies for desmodus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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!
If you carry enough blood pack you will accidentally tame them all. lol guess ive got an army now.
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.

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
you can use this to tame bloodstalkers
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
This might be modeled after an onyc based off the fact they are both bats but it might be tamed like a blood stalker cause this may be a vampire bat. It will likely reside in dark areas and it’s enemy would be titanaboa (like onyc)
It requires maybe 5-10 blood packs for a level 1-5
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.
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
As no one mentioned this at all the effectiveness goes up depending on the HP of the tame you are "feeding" it I find daedons are the best way as they have a high health stat
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.
If you are entering a cave you know has these keep blood packs in you hotbar, they will take those instead of dealing damage to you. Plus you might accidentally tame it and have something to help distract the other desmodus
i have looked at the youtube tier lists for fjordur and this is always at the top! i would argue but still good mount.
