Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a desmodus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a desmodus.
One of the comments suggest using snow owl to get blood for first one. Not bad, but every time you heal using owl, it’ll go through your meat. If you can make med brew.
For modded official Tharat:
For anyone else seeking answers in future. Its normal desmodus taming method. Either keep blood packs in inventory and let it pick you and eat those.
Or put a bunch of sleeping and keep feeding yourself to it.
Tip: dont summon it in open with wild dinos. You wont get much attention and it will keep losing effectiveness.
I really like what they did with the image I hope they do that more.
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.
Easy taming :
1) Use med brew to heal yourself while you extract blood packs with a blood extraction syringe. About 100 is fine.
2) Agro bats and run away. Wait until a lower level one gets left alone.
3) Get your best armour and clear the area. Put blood packs in your last slot and let the bat pick you. Don't struggle, just stay still.
4) After taming, use it to gather blood packs. Then tame a Higher level bat.
Tame a bad level first than tame high level with the blood packs that it gives you
It was hard to tame my 156 it’s took a lot of blood I died a lot
Make sure to bring a parachute it’s going to drop you sometimes k
Bring BLOODPACKS to tame :)
Not CRAZY hard to tame, but still hard
All you need is:
About 300 bloodpacks (Probably overkill)
A daedon (leveled in health, also put 100 bloodpacks in its inventory)
An andrewsarchus (idk if you need a saddle or no, but this will be your shelter)
Keep the remaining 200 bloodpacks in your inventory, and find your bat and set up camp. Send out your daedon by the bat. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING NEARBY IS PASSIVE. Go run under your daedon and wait for the bat to attack and pick up your pig. This will boost its effectiveness. After that, let him pick YOU up. This will tame the creature. Rinse and repeat
You can do it with no blood packs but you need a crap ton of med brews
With the medical stand you can farm blood packs to tame it with simply attach it to a high health creature and make sure to remove before it dies this way you can start with a high level even if effectiveness is still challenging
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 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!
Bring parachute it will drop you
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!
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
They are all over the swamp island on fjordur
you can use this to tame bloodstalkers
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.
Tame a Snow Owl first, then get bloodpacks, heal yourself with its freeze attack, and repeat... Up for new players to know!
