What are tips for desmodus? Tips and strategies for desmodus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you need blood bags fast, get snow owl and have someone making blood bags and just tap the heal button on the owl and you heal Instant so can go again. Did this and got about 300 blood bags in about 30mins or so, only have 120 health. You should only need about 100 to tame most but bring extra because your not going be able to not grabbed by others, and bring parachutes
I looked it up on the internet and sadly it won't be as cute as the picture
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
List of desmosdus abilities
Invisibility at night and when latching or hanging
Able to latch onto to walls and the bottom of rocks
Night vision (has to be toggled)
Screech/echolocation to find creatures
Blood harvesting
You can craft sanguine elixir in saddle using 200 blood
Grab onto small Dino’s and players
Ps. Sanguine elixir is used to up a knocked out carnivores tame bar by 30%
Hope this was helpful :D
To tame it I would recommend a moschops so when the bat picks it up taming effectiveness is boosted when you have 100% effectiveness let it grab you and I recommend have ATLEAST 100 blood packs, more would be recommended for higher levels. Once all that is done you should have a brand new desmodus draculae!
Picks you and eats blood bags as it Flys around with you in claws to tame
Why is the saddle in the switch version but the creature is not!!!
If you let it feed on a smaller creature multiple times, IE a maschops with good health, it raises the taming effectiveness before taming it. Bring a snow owl to keep the maschops healed. Takes patience but gets you higher levels
Similar to the bloodstalker you'll need to sacrifice a tame in order to raise the taming effectiveness. I suggest bringing a moschops since it's the biggest thing it can carry. Bring two just in case, and once it reaches 100% lure it away from the moschops and let it carry you and feed on you or the bloods packs in you.
