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

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

Can insta kill jellyfish when above water and you can get easy biotoxin.

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

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.

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

Just tame a lot of low level parasaurs they’ll give you 100% taming efficiency better than blood packs click the up arrow so people know!!!

You can pick up bloodstalker eggs after the new Gen2 update!

The trick I used for high level ones, and you won't find this anywhere cause I have searched for weeks myself...., is high level phiomia. They have the best effective tame % and it is hp based. So leave them cryo'd then level hp before sacrificing them to stalkers. Sacrifice them while using cactus broth. They'll never grab you. Once it's 100% efficiency, get naked & get grabbed with blood in your inventory. After that it's a simple ghillie/bug repellant. Don't use cactus broth during that part or they'll instantly disconnect. Figuring all of this out made taming easy as all get out. Nooblets video is dead wrong on certain aspects, so if you watched that, forget most of it. Basic kibble tame Phiomia. It's worth it. No other comment on here mentioned any of this. Time efficiency and effectiveness, this is the absolute best way to tame them.

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

If ur taming one on gen 2 turn ur tek pistol to heal mode and have your tribemate get reeled in and then heal ur tribemate to tame it

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.

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

Use mind wipe and put all points into health while getting blood packs , it will speed up how fast you can get them by a hug amount

You can now pick the eggs up. I guess since they added the egg incubator they changed it

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
