How ARK players tame and knock out the Desmodus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

It can turn invisible at night and while it is latched upside down during both night and day. Every time it bites a creature, it adds blood packs to it's inventory, making it good to use to tame bloodstalkers. It collects tons of spoiled meat when it eats corpses making it…

To Tame it you mite need blood packets

Hey tribe mate knock that bob out and get the syringe

Put lots raw meat in maewing when raising babies. Do not use blood packs or cooked meat. It will starve due to the cool down timer on blood packs.

Tame a gloon set it on auto mesmerized. There’s a broken glitch in the game as soon as they rip you off whatever mount you’re on it will automatically tame it 👍🏽 hurry get all the vampires/ get to breeding . I just went in to a cave and accidentally did it by having…

On ASA, you can use the medical stand with a high health creature (such as a diplodicus) to get tonnes of blood packs to tame them.

Use a daedon on passive to increase taming effectiveness. Has much higher health, heal rate and a saddle which allows it to easily tank lvl150 bats

I haven’t seen anyone mention anything about babies but they eat raw meat they won’t drink blood the blood packs. Hope this helps

When the des drops you and you have parachute active shoot him with heal beam from tek pistol to give 100% tame effective UP THIS IT WORKS!!

Find one single it out have blood bags in last slot of hotbar have plenty of parachutes let pick you up drops you parachute down rinse repeat

you can use a shild while taming the desmodus. He will still pick you up, but the desmodus won't be able to damage you.

They can be found In the cave near the emerald trench (the canyon with green colored crystals and hexagon rocks) follow the trench all the way up and there will be a cave with spiders centipede and onic (smaller non-rideable bats that can give you mega rabies so maybe bring…

Babies won't eat blood packs while you're offline. I've lost two babies this way.

Use a megalaina to increase its taming effectiveness make sure to put some lvl into the megalainas health works like a charm moshops work to but found megas better

Pretty important to note that in order to receive the extra levels for efficiency you need to "feed" it a passive small creature before/ during the taming process. Each time it feeds on you it loses efficiency I don't know what tame is best used but I am using a…

This thing literally picks me up when I was away from my screen. Luckily I had enough heath and it was just taming while it was caring me around and stuff so I suggest just standing where it’s at and just let you carry it away but if your health is not over 1000 then don’t…

My friend: you tamed that low level Des?

Me: I did, still not craft the saddle for it so it's in cryopod

My friend: HOW? The blood bags are still in the fridge.

I smiled as she shocked by the massive red messages in tribe log.

You don't need blood packs to tame a…

Get a good pteranodon, build a trap made of double doorways and a gate in the front, use the pteranodon to lure the bats into the trap(Pteranodons can fit through double doorways but bats can’t) net gun all the bats, close the gate, kill the low level bats, then tame the one…

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…
