Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a desmodus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a desmodus.
Enter a cave and Go in slowly.. Then drop down a Bloodpack until one of the Bats fly down and Drink the blood from it and will slowly get tamed and if it doesn’t fully tame it it shall fly back up and go back to sleep
Ok ok,screw passive taming,you should drop meat and wear gillie armor or you can knock it out,that’s just my idea.
sorry if that’s shitty.
If you don't have blood packs it can still take from ur base heath
I have heard this can pick things up and I think they live in big hollow trees 🪵
Oh god this is going to be absolutely amazing
I’m gonna tame this first >:)
-Luv, Armora Rex!
Could be tamed like the bloodstalker
As of right now, you only need to have bloodpacks IN your inventory, they do not have to be in the last slot of your hotbar. I accidentally tamed several when a low-level culling went wrong whilst I had packs on me.
When trying to summon remember to put an underscore C at the end before the number
Works similar to bloodstalker, effectiveness raises off sacrificed creatures. They dont need to die so Use high health tames to boost effectiveness then blood packs for taming. Recommend pheromone darts as they have a tendency to fly super high and not come back down at least in the Vardiland cave.
so yes,you can raise these amazing creatures off of meat and blood packs make sure to use both !!! Alot of it ,But i will say Even on 3x xp events it is a VERY LONG PROCESS !!!
Use leveled up pigs to tame, much better than moschops! I used 3 tamed pigs, while I rode a stego (hardened plates to prevent being picked up), whistled them around for the desmodus to pick them up. It took a few minutes, but eventually got taking effectiveness to 100%. Then I put pigs away, let desmodus pick me up with blood packs in my 0 bar. Worked like a charm!
Just found out the hard way. You don't need blood packs in your inventory to tame. I was ambushed by a desmodus and it's taming meter was still going up just from draining my characters health.
Before taming, equip an elixir in your hot bar. As the Desmo attacks you, spam the elixir until you drink it. This will give you the 30% taming increase! Works with shine horns too!
Bro these are practically early game
Tame 2 moscops of opposite genders.
Breed them
Tame lystro to level their health
Drain blood like CRAAAAAZZZZZZYYYYYY
them use low level desmodus to get a bunch of blood and repeat the steps for a higher level
To get high efficiency you need to let it eat a lot of blood.
Prepare a few hundred blood packs get a tame they can grab like mochops put the blood packs into its inventory and lead the desmodus to it. They will grab it and then let it fall down and fly around for a bit u till they grab it again. This will take a while every time it grabs it the taming efficiency will rise by a few percent. Sometimes the desmodus will fly to far and not go back then you need to guide it back to the mochops. Once taming efficiency is at 100% you need to let it grab you to finish the taming. For this it's good to have blood packs in your inventory and maybe a parachute as they will let you fall down once they are tamed.
Waterfall cave is an easy one. Get in on a dino, tease out the bats, lose aggro range to separate them then come back on foot and let any level pick you. Surrounding area is relatively safe.
Even easier when you have a bat. Do the same thing but this time kill the low level ones when you’re out of the cave and then let your high level bat pick you. Good luck and don’t forget parachutes!

Level up Health in a moschops and have it pick up the moschops instead of you to gain taming efficiency, use high ceiling argy trap to trap them and toss a moschops in it with blood packs on moschops inventory.
Best tamed with a daeodon - due to the larger health pool vs other creatures they can pick up
Okay, this is how I tame these guys.
1. I go into the cave of Desmodus behind the waterfall in the spawn map.
2. I spyglass them and look at their levels.
3. I will then net projectile (or if you can, kill) the lower level Desmodus.
4. I kite the high level or desired Desmodus out of the cave before the others become unprojectiled.
5. I cryopod my Dino I used to kite it out. (Or you can use the glider skin, if you know how to use it!)
6. I let it pick me up and let the taming begin!!
Hope this helps you!!! Good luck on getting a Desmodus
Feed these boys moschops do get up their taming effectiveness
