Tips & Strategies
So i tamed a lvl 145 using 200-198ish bloodpacks on 3x taming. Just figured you guys should know
If it catches you punch it and it will let you go I learned from experience it killed me before I knew that trick :(
There may be big trees about everywhere in the bog but bloodstalkers only spawn around 70 70.
Depending on your health (this is for official stat setting, 300 health is average for official) you can get about 100ish blood packs every 10 minutes. This is useful for knowing how long you will have to farm blood packs for when taming
It’s a passive game. Use the blood extraction tool to get blood bags. Lots of them. Make sure to have healing vials. Get webbed and pulled in with the blood bags in the passive taming slot at the end of your bar on the right. Keep putting more in as he/she drinks them. I needed 400 ish for a 95
Tame a 5-6 pheomias, get each one to about 1500-1800 hp, let the blood stalker grab it and kill it, the taming effectiveness will go up by 5% on the first kill, it will jump up by 2% additionally per kill..took me about 4 pheomias to get it to 100% effectiveness
I tamed a 145 on official ps4 (2x weekend) and it took only 98
Stalkers + fire = dead stalker. They can't use webs while on fire. Do this and they're trash to fight against. Can't pick people. Can't get away. Best tactic when facing someone who's pvping with one is flamethrower.
Even their flak can't save them from this nightmare cause it bypasses armor, does no dura dmg and you get a pristine backup kit to use and not have to repair it on the go. I wouldn't even plant z cause they're even more helpless trying to figure out how to get away while mounted and panicking than on foot.
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.
Taming this is messed up but have a lot of moshops and then have ghillie suit on then let eat the moshops and then let it eat bloodpacks when it shows 100% taming effectiveness
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!
When trying to tame watch out for ones stuck inside branches. Ark will instantly kill it if tamed for meshing
