Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a desmodus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a desmodus.
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
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
If you're using forcetame, don't let it grab you first as it drops the taming efficacy immediately and so you'll only get 192's instead of 225's assuming standard max difficulty settings.
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 you’re going to tame one, you have to remember to look for DESMODUS, NOT ONYC. It can be really annoying when u find a cave, got to tame desmodus and an onyc picks you up. Don’t be as stupid as me
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
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!
People you don’t need ten blood sacks I was just wrong with that tip I said. you need way more
Amazing graphics, no?
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.
Can’t wait to tame this, probably will need blood packs considering it is probably something like a vampire bat. So that being said make sure you have lots of tribe mates with high health ;)
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.
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 😉

All you need is Blood packs and parachutes.. let the bat pick you then when it goes to drop you, deploy a parachute and slowly fall down. The bat will then continue to pick you and suck your blood without dropping you from the sky
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!
Bring grappling hooks or parachutes
In fjordur, desmodus caves are full of fjordhawk, which are ready to steal your bag if you die. Desmodus when tamed drops you indifferently from how high you are.
So, if you care about your mental health, BRING A PARACHUTE
Tame a low lvl desmodus before you find a high level farm up minimally 40 bloodpacks and then farm more after the low lvl tame to get a high level and let it suck blood from tamed dinos i prefer dire wolfs or daedons so the taming effectiveness goes up and you dont lose a lot of lvls
