Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a bloodstalker? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a bloodstalker.
Something is clearly wrong. Some say 200 bags on 2x taming. Others say 1k bags on 10x taming..
Blood stalker damage modifier determines the rate at which the blood is consumed... Higher atk means faster taming and Visa versa.
Not sure if pc was updated but on ps4 they still take a thousand for a 150.
Idc what anyone says me and my tribe tried to tame a 140 with 908 blood bags it only got to 90 percent they need to fix this and for god sakes were on a 50x taming server if you go for them
Be prepared and take at least 1k blood bags
The eggs are gltiched and can't be moved once it lays the egg, the baby eats meat, on 3x raising, 15mins already 1% done.
If anyone wants to know a level 100 take just around 800 blood packs so... that's a lot
Kishko can do it like a boss home dog
Using another dinosaur as sacrifice makes the taming effectiveness go way up. Level 140 with a sarco sacrifice takes 100 blood packs
Insect swarms CAN interrupt you taming a stalker. If a swarm attacks you it will also attack the bloodstalker, making the bloodstalker release the character after a while of taking damage and now you are free falling from 100 feet :)
If you feed it a small tame of yours with about 10k hp the taming efficiency goes from 30% too 100% then it will take less blood bags too tame
Try to go out with nothing on you. Find one. Check its level by letting it kill u. Then once u find its level and u have the blood, go and let it grapple you. Let it eat the blood. Dont worry. Btw if a swarm tries to kill, I'm pretty sure the taming doesnt reset back to 0. It didnt on mine at least
When or after leveling it up, make sure you have blood packs on you if you decide to ride it right after leveling it up. Or you will die! It sucks the lofe out of you to cure itself.
When i bred my Stalkers, i wasnt able to pick up the egg, had to build AC units around it, plan ahead until its fixed (on official)
My level 85 Stalker took 492 bloodpacks on 1x official
They are currently bugged. They only tame on 1x rates no matter what server you are on. So a 150 will take about 1200 blood packs
To tame them u must go to the big tree part of the bog the one with glowing flowers they are on the trees branches there a bit hard to find i took 25 mins to find 1 to tame one you jump around under them until they grab you one once they get a hold of you make sure you have 200 bloodbags for low lvl or 1000 for high lvl just stay there and do nothing you'll start taming them be wary of swarms they are the worst when taming a stalker
166 Bloodbags for a level 25 on official 1x servers. Which then died instantly after tame because of anti meshing. Recommended that you have a friend with you for protection from other beasts, and knock it out of the tree before attempting to tame it...
It's actually pretty easy to tame these guys, you just need a lot of blood packs, so you might need to farm and kill yourself a couple time, so make sure you're body can be easily accessible, then you can find these guys on the big trees in the bog biome, let them latch on to you then instead of killing you they'll eat the blood packs from your inventory, beware this process can take a while
To tame you get grappled by the bloodstalker and it will eat blood packs out of your inventory.
For a level 150 you will need just over 1300 blood packs
