Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a desmodus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a desmodus.
Easy tame, Ride on andrewsarchus and shoot with fab or longneck, get it to attack high hp moschops and then run under it with blood packs. Great flyer on day 2. Tamed 3 in under 30mins.
A very easy tame and a good flyer. Best for harvesting rotten meat and blood packs.
Spawn:
They spawn in caves in Fjordur. Usually in groups
Taming requirements:
1) Blood packs x50 ( the more the better, I carry more than 100 )
2) Shotgun ( makkees it easy to. Shoot mid air )
3) full flak armor
4) Parachutes x10
Taming:
As. They are passive tame u cannot knock them out. Just wear full flak armor remember to carry a shotgun with enough ammo and 5-10 parachutes
Keep around a 100 blood packs. I carry 400 just in case.
By encountering them they will come rushing at you for your blood and pick u and fly up. Remember to keep the blood packs on your " 0 " slot. Usually the low level ones come at you first , this is where the shotgun comes handy , if the level is not to your. Liking just gun it down and. Use parachute to land safely. They do little to noo damage when you're wearing flak. If you're low on health just drink a blood pack.
If the level is to your liking just let it carry you around
And it will drink blood from the packs by itself.
A tribe mate supporting you will make the Tamee more. Easy as they can kill all the. Other unwanted blood suckers.
They will drop you a few times and u parachute down and just run without holding the shift key
They will pick you up again. Continue this and congratulations you have your blood pack harvester.
Demos are just bigger onycs that you can ride
If you carry enough blood pack you will accidentally tame them all. lol guess ive got an army now.
I love the design on this the Desmondus it has an echo location ability and can turn invisible in the night. It should be able to pick creatures up. I’m very excited for its release
i have looked at the youtube tier lists for fjordur and this is always at the top! i would argue but still good mount.
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
Bring parachute it will drop you
A really cool idea for the Desmodus (since it's a vampire bat) is basically give it blood offerings by giving it unconcious dinos to feed onto... or yourself if you're brave enough. The bigger the dino, the faster/better the tame. ALSO I second the petition to make this the cryopod icon, most definitely!
Here’s a some steps to tame a high level bat:
Step 1: get some blood packs from yourself(69-89)
Step 2: tame a low level desmodus
Step 3: use the desmodus to look for a high level you want
Step 4: look at Dododex to see how many blood packs you need
Step 5: use the desmodus to get enough blood packs for that level
STEP 6: just go right in and tame that bad boy >:D
EXTRA: the reason I suggest taming a low level desmodus is because it would be faster to get blood packs using it rather than using yourself and having to wait to heal or respawn. Hope this helps!
To get at %100 effectiveness and max lvls gained tame a good lvl moschop pump nothing but health put blood packs on the chop let bat pick up the chop not you it will gain effectiveness but not tame % once at %100 then let the bat grab you while having blood packs on you to tame it up this to help pretty easy tame start with low lvl to get lots of easy packs for higher lvl
As of right now on Tuesday 6/14/22 they use less blood packs then the taming calculator says, I would still bring more then needed though about 80/120 blood packs for 130-150 tames, once you tame one just using basic right trigger atacks on wild dinos will get you blood packs back for more desmodus tames!
You Need A Blood Extaction Sryringe Then Get Blood From You DONT Drink It Go In A Trench Or A Cave If You See A Hanging Pod On The Roof A GIANT Bat Will Come Out Wait For It To Pick You Up Then Have The Blood Packs In Your Inventory Becuse It Will Drink The Blood Packs And The Tameing Bar Will Fill Up When It Drinked ALL Of The Blood Packs And It’s Not Tamed You HAVE To Get Some More Blood From Your Character And It Will Keep Drinking Them But You MIGHT Be LOW On Health.
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!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
Just tamed a mated pair and I used a high level ovis with all points into health and I found that if you start the tame then let them grab the ovis several times to get it to 100% effectiveness then let them grab you to finish the tame. If you let them grab the ovis first they will slowly lose effectiveness as they're grabbing you, so it's best to get them mostly tamed then up the effectiveness and finally let them grab you to finish the tame
You don't need to sacrifice a creature to get taming efficiency up; just put some blood pack in the dino inventory, it'll save a lot of hp on the dino you're letting the desmo play with.
Also this seems to be faster efficiency gain than just letting it eat a dinos hp, needs a bit more testing tho.
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 will only tame this bat if it looks just like the shown picture...lol just saying
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
