Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a desmodus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a desmodus.
One of the easiest to tame and is the best flyer for me. Its a lot faster than an argy although it can only carry small dinos. Just bring a lot of blood bags and beds just in case. Also you can easily steal magmasaur eggs in caves using the invisibility.
Don't have a breeding section yet but they will eat blood bags off a maewing
They can't pick you off a Andrew with a saddle so just use one to blast the bats you don't want
When taming on official - LURE IT OUT OF THE CAVE FIRST! The anti-mesh doesn't care that you went inside the wall/under the floor only because the wild desmodus pushed you there. So get it outside first and only then let it drag you around as it pleases.
When using a moschops to increase the effectiveness, turn off resource harvesting and make sure to knock down all the trees (if attempting outside of a cave). If not, the moschops will attack the tree if taken nearby by the desmodus, effectively resetting your taming effectiveness back to 50%.
I found that you can use a bat to pick up and tame a daeodon,
which you can use to heal any babies or any creature.
This is kinda a question because when you have the blood packs in your last slot it grabs u it’s like why do u need to be such a high level for the cheap saddle and u can tame it early also do u just run away when it drops you because remember it drops and picks you up every I think 20 seconds so can someone maybe awnser my question
Bring a few parachutes if you’re doing it outside of caves or near by caves they do drop you more often than expected. If you’re looking to boost efficiency bring a few tames able to be carried by Desmondius.
I tamed a 145 with about 50 blood packs on official rates so 2x and about 3 bats in one sitting while being grabbed over and over after agroing a Hurd of them and tamed all of them since they will keep grabbing you in the air. Defiantly bring med brews and parachutes!!
Net the one u want and kite the rest to a Rex, then tame the netted one when it gets up.
Parachutes are a life saver with this tame. Keeps you from taking damage when it drops you between feeds. Once you tame one, it can supply you with books to tames others.
It is a a blood pack tame I have tamed 4 with it all you need is a nearby bed and have 10-30 I tamed 150 using 37 note my taming is on 3
If wondering how you tame one u first find them kill off the others and keep the one you want and let it pick you up and will fly around in a circle and take the blood pack from your inventory
Abilities: has a shriek that is useful at night because all Dino’s light up with red and blue, next one is that when you bite something u get 1-6 blood packs and the second to last thing is they are very fast and the last thing is if u hold right click you will go INVISIBLE which to me is really cool
Similar to the blood stalker however it will eat a couple of blood packs and drop you so bring parachutes. Do this till tame.
I hope it’s not like a bloodstalker tame
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
Make atleast 35 packs today I just tamed a lvl 150 with only 34-35 packs maybe it was starving.
To tame them I went with a tribe member we put a bed outside of their cave in case one of us died, had a tribe member on a strong flyer and we would shoot one with a dart let it pick up the member on foot and they will get blood packs and tame themselves then other tribe member on flyer would make sure to kill off the other wild Dino’s to keep tribe member on foot and new tames alive. Then do it again and again walked out with like 5 new bats hope this helped
Idk anyways a quote by someone lol
Can you tame a 145 with 23 packs... I swear l've seen someone do it.
I used a lot less blood packs than what was recommended here and it was a level 100
Do yourself a favor and tame a DAEODON and use it to get the taming effectiveness up. They are MUCH more effective than Moschops. Daeodon increases the TE by 5 or 6 percent for each time the Desmodus picks them up.
