What are tips for desmodus? Tips and strategies for desmodus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Baby Desmoduses go through meat very fast.
Cooked Prime is always great as it restores alot of food for little weight and low spoil timers.
With the Desmodus, they can eat bloodpacks for 200+ food, and the packs weigh almost nothing.
However the catch is the Juvenile+ Desmoduses will NOT EAT BLOODPACKS OUT OF THE FOOD TROUGH, only from their inventory.
Played Ark sinces its very inception and the fallout of The Stomping Lands and yet have never uploaded a tip, so I figured I would
People you don’t need ten blood sacks I was just wrong with that tip I said. you need way more
How to tame. 1: find one they come in 2-4 of them in a group then kill the ones you don’t want. Then put blood pack in your inventory then let it pick you up then make a saddle a now you can fly in caves!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
They will look down from Above and inspect the Creature/Player if the creature shows hostility or is holding a weapon or is making too much noise they will fly down and swarm the Intruder biting them to death with a bleed effect
They are pretty easy to tame. It’s best to make almost 100 blood packs and go to the emerald trench and there will be desmodus on the roof of the cave.
when they change the art to the official imagery im gonna miss thos guy...
Amazing graphics, no?
Tame low level first to gather easy blood packs with, put fence supports to the ceiling at end of the main desmodus cave on fjordur desmodus can't fly through them, kill low levels save desired level, send in high level moschops with blood packs to get to 100 efficiency
Guys if you don’t want to go into a cave to get these they also spawn on the swamp island in Midgard.
You can raise babies/juveniles with either raw meat or blood packs. No difference to maturation rate, however, they eat raw meat at a much faster rate.
Kill all Desmodus besides the one you want to tame.
Get the attention, and net it.
Use 4 Dinogates to trap it, like standard argi trap.
Throw a Daedon in the trap, cryopod or walk it in.
The Desmodus will lift the Daedon and affectiveness will rise to 100%. Once 100% is reached you can open the gates and start the taming. Don't forget the bloodpacks in your inventory and glidesuite or parachutes are recommended 😉

Get some bloodpacks, find a low level, tame it, use it for lots of blood packs then tame a high level, watch out for fall damage so bring parachutes
These can be a early game tame, just get lvl 74 to get the saddle by how ever you want, then tame a pt and get blood bags as you do it, also make the saddle while you are there. Then fly to the area where they spawn( about 90 lat, 70 lon) , enter the cave and tame a high lvl or low lvl, depending on how many blood bags you have.
Hope this helped!
Plan on dying, prepare for the worst. Make sure you have a ton of sleeping bags placed nearby, also bring parachutes to reduce the chance of death. Good luck!
