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.

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

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

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…

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…

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

If you don't have blood packs it can still take from ur base heath

Not sure if this is a thing or just weird coincidence, but when I tamed mine it seemed to gain efficiency faster from tames at night than it did during the day, as well as taming faster at night too.

If anyone could confirm this that’d be awesome, I may have just had some…

They spawn in large groups. If you don’t wanna get passed around on a compromising way, Like them out of the cave. Have at least a one by structure with a bed close by, fast travel, kite them outside the cave, die, respawn, pick the one you want, tame it. Be sure to have…

This is what I've done to tame these

1. Get at least 300 blood packs and drag them into your "0" slot.

2. Make some parachutes. For me they flew up and dropped me so chutes were a must.

3. They are around 7 to 10 second intervals so be patient and stay alert…

Put bloodpack in your last slot and let it grab you .

You migth have to kill the other bat around first.

VERY similar to bloodstalker. Have it pick you while blood bags are in your inventory and you should be good to go. Using other dinos (moschops are recommended) with blood bags in their inventories will work as well

If the bat is optimally trapped with the moscops in a short cave so it can't easily lose aggro, it will take around 45 seconds per grab cycle. With a lvl 150, you have to do this 100 times, so with a perfectly run perfect tame, it will take around an hour and a half

A 150 gets about .5% effectiveness each time it grabs the moschops. So it takes 100 times of it picking it up to get up to 100% effectiveness

To tame desmodus take snow owl and go to waterfal cave,take srynge then take blood,then heal with snow owl and after 20 blood,go in cave with spyglass and look for low level,tame it,and attack other creatures to get blood packs then go again in watrtfall cave and tame bigger…

If you want a high level Desmo, tame a little dino like a moshop and leave him in passive next to a Desmo for it to pick it. Do it some time and it's your turn to be picked
