[@lorddalla]

Can i add to this guide? - u can use 1 tame if u put blood packs in its inventory you don't need that much tames .. also there is another way ... let it catch u to start the tame then punch ur way out ... run to your tame .. doesn't matter if it can pick it up or not ..just get rid of the aggro .. then pull out a tek pistol and start healing the desmodus .. it will go to 100% effectiveness in a sec .. then let it catch u again ... NB: everytime it drops u it loses around 2% effectiveness so u gotta heal it again to 100% ... i hope u add this to ur guide

[@CRRU-zw4jw]

Nice, yeah Ive also noticed the 2% effectiveness drop. I did all mine in a similar manner to the video but with some differences. Firstly tame a high-ish level moschops and level hp for more survivability. Also build a trap using stone dino gates and gateways (Cheap, easy and no tek required). The normal tunnel style one, then aggro the bat, lure it in and close the gate behind it. Put your moschops on passive, give it a good amount of bloodpacks and whistle it into the trap and let the bat do its thing. When the bat reaches 100% effectiveness, whistle the moschops out, grab some bloodpacks and in you go. When it drops you, it would have tamed but dropped effectiveness to +-98% right. So run out of the trap and send the moschops back in to get the effectiveness to 100% again. When reached, whistle the moschops back out and in you go again. Rinse and repeat. So essentially, when the effectiveness drops you can raise it again without actually losing taming progress. And thats how you can get your perfect 100% tame. The biggest pain with this strategy though is to isolate the bat and get it into the trap. After that its just a semi-afk waiting game

[@einherjar8147]

@@CRRU-zw4jw Re: Isolating the bat... I found if you can one-shot the neighboring bats, others won't aggro to you.

[@mrt9385]

so, there is one area that is better than these three, the old rock drake area from behind blue obelisk, you can pull them into those dwarven tunnels and it is extremely easy to isolate them, in single player you can also farm them, when you unload the cave they instantly respawn. To unload the cave you just have to go up the stairs which takes you like 5 sec on a maewing, this is if you ask me the best area to tame them in, but the hexagon cave can also work although you might have to deal with a bunch of onic in there

[@veryshook9015]

[@bongotherainwingking8809]

Why is it so important for it to be at 100%

[@zachmetz9011]

@@bongotherainwingking8809 the taming effectiveness bar is crucial to get the best stats after taming and you lose levels if not 100%

[@notcrazy3715]

So glad to see the return of the master of guides back with the new map. Often imitated never replicated. Keep up the awesome work good sir.

[@Kingkong-gy5qt]

Just saw on dododex that you can also get 100% taming effect by using a tek pistol healing feature right before bat drops you.

[@CraftyM2016]

Instead of calling them to keep them moving around. Set them to [WONDER] so they move around on their own. Developers made it so that if AI walk by a cliff they will automatically walk away from the cliff so they don't fall off unless they are chasing a player or prey. Things that are moving around are actually much easier for the Desmodus to pick up since developers have kept in mind that most of the time players would be running or walking away from them then appose to people or prey just standing there waiting to be picked up. 8:30 Press the comma key to tell you're tames of choice to move away to a corner of the cave so the Desmodus will bring their attention to you. By pressing the comma key it'll tell your tames to all gather to a single area of your choice, how you pick the area is simple, just guide your cross-hair to the area of choice then press the comma key and all your tames will run straight to that spot. Make sure your tames aren't set to ignore group calls or this won't work. 11:42

"So you don't have to wing it if it's driving you batty"..... I see what you did there ya sly dog! Haha Love your vids Nooblets, been watching them since I stumbled across the video of you solo defending your base against a whole tribe back when the Island was the only map. Keep them coming! :)

[@DanielSmith-to9fg]

Just wanted to add something that made it way easier for me. If you ride a stego, the desmodus can't dismount you and takes very little damage on the hardened stance. You can shoot the ones you don't want and later guide your moschops without fear of getting nabbed.

[@star-lord4208]

Not a bad tip, just laying on the ground in the middle of the moschops works well too tho. Even if you get targeted, it always grabs a moschops until you whistle them away

[@danthajedinielsen3561]

I could listen to you do tutorials about anything! Hello guys Steve here! And today I'm going to show how to install a window air conditioner.

[@ManuelCorrado]

Hey I'm playing on console and I figured out that it's not necessary to have blood bags on your hotbar,it's enough to have them in the inventory. Ps.: Love your videos but I miss moshba

[@lycanthropickle]

what happened to moshba? i couldnt stand him

[@MentalGunzRP]

Always the most reliable tutorials. Love your work Steve!

[@DeadlyPlatypus]

I was not excited about this creature at ALL before it was released. After using it, it MAY be my favorite flyer...it's hard to knock the argie off the top spot, but they're FAST, they have good stam, they are stupid maneuverable, they cling, and they make the sanguine elixir. They're awesome.

[@cesaremarianopasqui7535]

Yeah creatures on this map are Crazy, the andrewsarcus Is the best rider i every saw with all those Little buffs, breaking obstacles and the dire bear run, pretty sad we still got no Crazy water fauna

[@einherjar8147]

So, uh, I did a little testing myself, and they don't aggro to a Karkinos, unless you attack them. You can walk right underneath them to reposition the Moschops with a crab.

[@Geckey53]

This thing is probably my new favorite creature in all of ark. It’s a flyer and a giant bat? That’s already the coolest thing ever but it looks awesome and it has some crazy abilities.

[@Skelephobia.]

Not to mention this thing actually LANDS unlike the Onyc! Man I'm so excited to get one of my own!

[@AntheousKrii]

It's worth noting that you can also sprint, climb and attack on a rock drake without waking them while invis. Which is great if you want to take out the low levels first without alerting the others.

[@IxnayTheDude]

I've seen many of your Ark content and I really appreciate how I haven't seen you in creative mode, you show a few good ways to deal with things if they go sideways, I play official pvp and there's no blink rifles or fly commands :)

Swamp Island East side. Hanging from trees and into the ground. They use invisible power to hide in trees all over the entire map

[@davidvondoom2853]

Yep, I've been ambushed by them around blue obelisk a few times. Didn't see any around, so they must be invisable.

[@brianmccann666]

@@davidvondoom2853 ... I've found out using a bloodstalkers, the actually hide in the ground to ambush. If you can hear their Bat Screeching but can't see them, they are in the ground hiding. They respawn FAST too.

[@thedodorex7612]

My friend and me just got done with a 130, I’m glad I watched this before hand because they are a pain, at some point the moschops bit it for some reason and we had to start over but it was sooooo worth it, I found that if you already have one you can “pass” a moschops to a wild one if you get the timing right, very difficult but quite satisfying

[@alexanderdamiano]

I play single player, I tried taming a 135 and the taming effectiveness only went up by 0.1 percent each time the bat picked the up my moschops. I did the yesterday before your video.

[@Miguel-Red]

Same. I even tried a high lvl moschop with some health points Still 0.1%

[@odaihwari3881]

Yeah me too that happens to me

[@Alvozath]

Some ppl on our server used a pig lvled up to health for taming effectiveness. I didn't know desmodus can pick up a pig before they told about it xD

[@connorvoorhees7039]

[@CloudStrith]

Good day Steve. Thank you for all your amazing content over the years. You have always been and will always be my go to on how to anything in ark. I still use your taming pen to this day. Note on the Desmond, i was busy taming with a MChops and a Phiomia as pick up creatures. The bats seem to favor pocking up the phiomia and would carry it around for longer, gaining more taming efficiency as a result. I dont know if this was my imagination, but might be worth looking into. Thanks again for the best of best ark guides.

So if you are doing this solo no dinos I HIGHLY recommend parachutes and healing brews. I got dropped from the stratosphere too many times.

[@monnssrrrsquad9322]

Hi guys ! I dead my own testing and it seems if you level ur sacrifice. It gains more effectiveness. It doesn't seem to matter the level just how many levels you have manual pumped. So to speak. Was a lot faster with a lvled chops

So I ran into the cave, didn't see them in the roof above me and got mobbed by 6 of them. Ran outside, tried to get on my mount and all hell broke lose. Focused on getting my Argy on passive flee expecting to die. Forgot I had the blood on my hotbar so I ended up taming 2 just trying not to die 😄

[@soaringspirits2267]

You can find desmodous draculae up by the blue obelisk, I ran into three, accidentally while taming snow owls. I mistook them as dead creatures, because I was mowing down creatures left and right with my argy. (1000%+ melee, I was killing rhinos and mammoths and such.) But whaddya know, they were just hunched over and laying on the ground, so u didn't realize they were actually alive. This changed when I was grabbed. If you go up there, I was wearing, I think hide, you can skip all the spelunking. There was not much danger but the cold, and the owls and argies.

[@MidnightWolfSDJ]

Lol where does wild card come up with this stuff? It’s like hey let’s make our next tame super duper hard to tame. “What if they don’t figure out how to tame it?” “No worries, Nooblets will figure out the best way to do so!”

I tamed mine by accident. It was on a server with the fam and we had things buffed ofc because we can’t seem to play the game without that. I entered the cave on the island right next to the bog island and I suddenly got grabbed. I then had to name something, boom accidental desmo tame

Steve Great vid dude found another way if you have tek pistol you can use it in heal mode on Dez while it has hold of you to get taming up to 100% :)

[@kuiperdasniper]

There are so many functions in this game. For instance, you can point to a location and tell your Moschops to move to that point!!

[@gasad01374]

id recommend taming moschops and tossing them into cryopods for a day or two so they have 30+ free levels you can pump into health, heal em up with a daeadon or let them heal normally and each time they get picked up the taming effectiveness should go up around 5% (depending on how long it hold them for) moschops with lower health give almost no taming effectiveness so you want them to have high health statst

[@DiaborMagics]

Thanks, very good tips. EDIT: It helped for me to latch onto the wall and cloak the desmodus i tamed in step 1. The stamina doesnt run out and the wild ones keep focussing on the moschops. However, it is taking ages to get the % up. I think I have waited for over 15 minutes now and barely 10% has increased. I wonder if there are any tames you can feed to it that increase effectiveness faster than moschops. EDIT 2: one of their taming effectiveness bars reset to 50%. I'm not sure why but that sure is demotivating.

I would like to offer a little feedback to help your steams, you needed prime fish to tame your moschop, and did not know where to get it. I said in your twitch steam a Leed give prime fish, after a few minutes I said Leedsichthys spawn between the monkey cave and lava island. after you not reading chat for a few minutes longer I ask if you read chat, to which after a few minutes another watcher said he is steaming to twitch and youtube so he only partly pays attention. a few minutes later you read Does he read chat and instead of reading up you made a joke about someone wasting their question. This does not make your steam feel inviting, I hope this feedback helps you grow your steam, I think your heart is in the right place so I would like to see you grow, in other places than just demo videos.
