What is a bloodstalker used for? bloodstalker battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Few things I’ve learned about the bloodstalker. So a good thing to know about bloodstalkers is that blood packs heal it 750 health!! A good amount that will definitely be useful during PvP, you can’t force feed the blood packs but they eat them pretty fast after losing health. If your blood stalker starts draining your health find an animal you can grapple ASAP, it will stop draining your health and heal from the Dino you’ve grappled and get even more health. When in the air on the bloodstalker for Xbox if you hold RB you can float on the bloodstalker, be ready to go into first person riding mode when you let go of the button. Good luck survivors, hopefully this helps one of you out :)
Some tips about the Bloodstalker:
1-If you are riding your tamed bloodstalker but it is low on health, it will start sucking your blood until you die. I think putting blood packs/raw meat in its inventory will solve the problem.
2-They can float on water, if you want it to submerge fully underwater, press the X key (if you have not changed the key settings) on your keyboard but i am not sure about the other devices. They can also swim very fast.
3-They can pull certain creatures that are small with their strings, they can also climb, and they can be a great tame once you know how to travel with them.
4-If you need to feed baby bloodstalkers, you can use raw meat or blood packs but not cooked meat because they wont eat it and eventually starve, put the food in its inventory, and not the trough because if you put food in the trough and go out of render distance, they wont be able to eat and will also starve to death.
Thanks for reading this, i hope it helped!

If you're pvp'ing someone, and they pull you with the bloodstalker, plant z them immediately and try to kill they're stalker(as they don't have the best health). If you don't have z's, punch the air repeatedly or shoot the stalker as fast as you can for it to release you. Have in mind if you're on PS4 or XBOX, you get released from the web way sooner if tou tap the R2/RT button repeatedly instead of holding it.
These things are life saver when transferred to scorched earth. You can run all the caves in minutes without having to fight anything. And the wall lizards ignore you all together. Easy to farm artifacts.
Additionally, a good managarmr will destroy wyverns. Go farm the boss!
