If you have your menu out while taming, bugs will not spawn to kill you.

Dont need to put blood bags in any slot. They'll eat them straight from your inventory.

Be warned that multiple swarms will come an interupt your taming process knocking you loose an you'll fall an possibly die. So bring help.

You 110% need bug repellent, tried taming these and every time I got targeted by bugs and they would ruin everything. Up so people can see

When breeding, make sure you breed the pair in a good spot. You CANNOT pick up the egg. Bump up so people can see.

A level 145 took 270 blood bags

WARNING:If a tamed bloodstalker gets to low enough health, it can and will begin to eat you (if you are "riding" it)

1. Taming efficiency is going to be quite low during tame and in order to fix that, you need to sacrifice some tames to it

2. Other Bloodstalkers may try to grab you while your already being succ'd, in order to stop that, kill all other Bloodstalkers in the visible area

3. To stop Insect Swarms from interrupting your taming, open your inventory during the taming process, they for some reason don't detect you with your inv open

4. Bring a parachute just in case you are dropped for some reason

5. When he is tamed, only use him to get around and only level Stamina and Health. He is a garbage fighter and if his health gets low, he will start eating you and will kill you but in order to stop yourself from dying, put blood packs in your inv, he will eat those instead until his health is normal again

6. They can be breeded but be warned, when they have an egg, you cannot pick up the egg because it becomes attached to the ground

Have fun and good luck taming a Bloodstalker

If raising babies. Use bloodbags. They eat raw meat like a giga practically. Meat=10 food blood pack=200 food. Hope this helps

If a survivor has ingested beer, a tamed Bloodstalker’s name will temporarily change while under the effects of said alcohol. Try it out for yourself, some of the names include “Blerdsterker”, “Mr. Wiggles”, and my personal favorite “Grabby McSlurpy”.

1127 bloodbags for a level 145 on 1x rated

The bloodstalker sounds like it might be found in extinction but it is only found in genises, it might later on be added to ragnorock for it has a bunch of scorched earth exclusives and a few valagraio exclusives. Like if you want this to be added to ragnorock

Letting it eat a few tames before latching on to you buffs it's taking effectiveness so requires less blood bags

My results so far after a bit of testing:

Can double jump, can climb, can walk on water, highlights creatures, can shoot bio tether to grapple and drag creatures to you (including flyers) can shoot a single tether to swing around or shoot 2 simultaneous tethers to propell you forward or to set up position to ambush. Keep holding the tether button to pull you towards the tether point and accelerate speed. (ps4) L2 for double tether (disconnects automatically after pulling you to the point) R2 for single tether (doesnt disconnect automatically). Can move extremely fast when tethering correctly.

When breeding the egg cannot be moved once layed

Probably the first breed able invertebrate (except gasbags)

You’ll find them hiding on the giant trees under the branches preying on some of the wild life. 70 70 is a good place to look for them if you’re having trouble but watch out, they’ll snatch up your tames when you least expect it. RIP moschops

You can use baby oviraptors to pick up your bloodstalker eggs, and then the baby oviraptors die their body time is the same as the egg incubation timer so you can drag the egg anywhere until it hatches.

It has no fall damage!

Large bear traps indeed do work on bloodstalkers!

Bumpup

Can glide, double jump, walk on water, swim underwater, swing across map in seconds, in the lunar biome they can essentially fly because of the double jump timer. Jump then jump again and glide until your jump recharges.
