What are tips for desmodus? Tips and strategies for desmodus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Does not require blood sacks to take just let it grab you
Level 145 only takes 32 blood packs on 1x
Using a high hp deinoch with blood packs on it seems to raise the efficiency quicker then lower hp stuff
Don’t try taming loads at once- they will kill each other, and then you end up with only one low level or you just die cause it’s a flock of bats. Up so noobs know
You should probably find a cave and take dodo blood
Without blood bags babies will go through the meat extremely quickly. Not much of a problem when they're newborn but becomes more apparent as they age. Be sure there's some available
These guy are great at stealing wyvern eggs, go invisible at night and boom easy wyverns or any egg you want. They can go in caves so feel free to get some rock drake or magmasaur eggs. Blood packs to tame of just let them eat at your health sacrificing an tamed animal with blood packs gives good taming effectiveness. Blood packs can be farmed by a desmodus and crafted into sanguine elixir which will give an instant 30% taming. Can dive silently, not as good as GRIFFINS but you gain good speed. They can latch on to ceiling or walls and can do a screech showing the location of dinos. (THIS WORKS BETTER AT NIGHT) I use mine to tame gigas since you can shoot on them. That's all I have to say
I know your gonna name you desmodus DRACULA don't lie
They hang on the ceilling, I ran past them all the first time I went to search for them.
Don’t listen to those who say only blood packs or only meat for raising babies. Use both since there’s a cooldown for blood packs so it’ll eat meat in between.
Only meat= starve
Only blood packs= starve
Both= A sweet new flyer
When your at the cave get blood packs to heal when they sucking on you
Im not sure about anyone else but I've tamed 4 high level bats and according to dododex they all have low stam, very high food, high melee and very low weight, and average everything else im not sure if wildcard changed the bats in an update and dododex haven't yet
Love it except...when I am holding anything it will not attack. I was holding a GPS and another time a torch and I couldn't get it'l to attack. Attaching torch onto it's saddle works but I was killed by something stupid when I realised my mouse presses were not working. I was holding my GPS.
Use an imprinted health leveled moschops with blood packs to raise the effectiveness first. Then let it pick you up with packs in your inventory to tame. Easy way for great tame.
Harpoon net traps what you want for easy picking of the ones you don't. Let them pick you up with blood bags in your inventory. Will drop you so have parachute. Gather blood bags per hit and spoiled meat and raw meat upon eating corpses. Screech sonars enemies in front of you. Can fly in caves and latch onto walls
