If you are playing ark by yourself and you want to tame a Bloodstallker, bring beds trust me. You will die a lot if you’re looking for a high level or lower level and bring bug repellent because, they will attack you. Then after you tame it, you can name it the evil nurse.

No blood packs required
So i tamed a lvl 145 using 200-198ish bloodpacks on 3x taming. Just figured you guys should know
Happened twice to me already, but when you cryo a bloodstalker who's standing in the water, it won't drop a bag so the items inside are gone.
Turns out the babies need blood packs for food when maturing… wish I had known that before
There may be big trees about everywhere in the bog but bloodstalkers only spawn around 70 70.
On xbox you can hold LB and click in the left stick to go underwater
They are on genesis 2! Coords: 71/05
If it catches you punch it and it will let you go I learned from experience it killed me before I knew that trick :(

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.
