These guys are super good. They can go through cave’s without dismount, immune to radiation and capture rock drake egg easy as pie on fjorder. Tame them as soon as you can 🦇

You can use tools like guns or crossbows of their backs. And since they can also latch to walls you can latch to a wall and shoot other dinis

Man there’s all these tips about how everyone loves it’s art—and here we are, and it’s cartoon is no more

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.

A 150 gets about .5% effectiveness each time it grabs the moschops. So it takes 100 times of it picking it up to get up to 100% effectiveness

Many people aren't saying it here but the seemingly best spot to find desmodus are in caves, like the jade cave at 65 lat - 40 long or on the bottom left island in the first large divet of land on the map if you follow the coastline east, you'll see the green crystal nodes and the Greenland style plates of rock near the snow biome. Happy rabbies time

Why is the saddle in the switch version but the creature is not!!!

They also spawn in the cave near the emerald trench.

Lat: 68.2

Lon: 37.3

Only raw meat heals them, cooked does not work

you can use this to tame bloodstalkers

Easy not try hard taming: Put blood packs in your inventory, and multiple parachute. Let it grab YOU, after a little it'll drop you, parachute down. Repeat, easy. These comments make you think it's hard, it's not.

It is the only flyer that can naturally fly in caves and the Realms.

1) get good armor so it’s attacks don’t kill you

2) get a bunch of blood packs, dying and respawning with full health is faster than healing it all up

3) actually find one, recommended is a spyglass o and a good weapon or a strong tame to take out the bugs in caves, I usually go to the emerald trench and look for them on the ceiling in the wide-open cave

4) Find a good level and kill its friends. Shooting it with anything will get its attention.

5) DONT ATTACT THE ONE YOU WANT TO TAME! instead, let it grab you and eat your blood packs, this raises the taming bar

6) be careful not to take fall damage, and repeat the grabbing and bam you got a Desmodus!

Be careful out there!

YOU CAN'T STEAL WYVERN EGGS WHILE INVIS. THEY STILL HIT YOU. LOST SO MUCH LAST NIGHT. DON'T DO IT.

To raise baby put blood and meat in maewing then it wil eat Every 7 minutes with out blood in maewing it eat evry 30 sec

I'm just saying, but this thing will defo be a sick flyer to have and especially to mutate

So, desmodus is the genre of the vampire bat, but since this is ark, and there’s already a “small” bat. You can pretty much guarantee that it will not be as little or cute as the cover page.

This is one of the best tames you can get, dont lose it!!!

Pros:

- good stats hp/damage/weight/stamina

- good fly speed

- can get invisible in the night

- screech

- can latch on any place even trees (careful, the stamina recover is slow when it is latching and if got attacked they loose the wall)

- collect a lot of blood, meat and spoiled meat

- you can use the blood to make elixirs that increase the taming efficiency in 30%( just 1 elixir per tame)

- can shoot while flying

- fast landing

- fast hp recovery

Cons:

- collect too much spoiled meat

- they gathering is limited ( dont get hide, prime and other things)

I dont have any real bad thing to say about desmodus, they have a lot of pros (some I dont listed) and even the cons are not bad, are useful and balanced. Desmodus eat meat, but prefer blood and it recover their hp with this. Now I cant live in ark without one!!

Try to tame a low level one first so you can farm blood packs with it, it'll shorten the farming time for a high level bat.

You can also tame a Daeodon first and use it's healing aura when extracting the first few packs, the pig can also help you raise the taming effectiveness for future high level tames, just let it wander on passive near the Desmodus you want to tame, keep some blood packs on it's inventory and let it get picked, it'll raise the effectiveness.

Let it pick you afterwards and feed on your blood packs to raise the taming meter, when it's about to tame, be sure to check if the effectiveness is close to 100%, if not just let it pick the Daeodon some more.

They’re probably one of the best tames in the game but they’re only on one map so sad
