Desmodus Saddle — Detailed Guide
Saddling up a Desmodus
To ride a tamed 
Desmodus, you equip it with this saddle, a piece of Fjordur gear found in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The item text is a single line: "Equip a Desmodus with this to ride it." The ARK Wiki dates the saddle to patch 346.11.
Turning Blood Packs into Sanguine Elixir
The saddle is more than a seat. The ARK Wiki notes that a Desmodus wearing it will make 
Sanguine Elixir when 200 
Blood Packs are put in its inventory.
Engram and crafting
The engram unlocks at level 74 and costs 45 engram points; crafting also requires level 74. Besides a 
Smithy and a 
Tek Replicator, the 
Thorny Dragon Saddle, 
Castoroides Saddle and 
Argentavis Saddle can craft it. Each saddle takes 10 seconds, gives 22.2 XP and uses:
- 260
Hide - 180
Fiber - 120
Wood - 45
Metal Ingot
Armor, weight and loot
The saddle has an armor rating of 25 and 50 durability. It weighs 20 and stacks to 1. Our records count 27 crate types that can contain it, from Fjordur Deep Sea and the Fjordur Ice Cave Red and Yellow crates to the Astraeos Orbital Medium and Hard crates.
