@GroundedOnTwo I wouldn't call them gimmicky. If I didn't enable fliers on my SP save, I'd use only the bloodstalker for movement. Even with my argy available, I still use my bloodstalker for mobility 70% of the time. And I've found them to work just fine (if not better) in the non bog biomes. The giant spires in the ocean, the valleys in the volcanic biome, and the numerous trees in the arctic give me plenty of easy grapple points.
Man, when you had all those Blood Stalkers lined up to show the different drunk names, I thought you were going to make them all dance at the same time. It would have been just like the Thriller video.
Thank you for putting like PS controls too I really liked that I was having a hard time with the dive because someone said it was a different button and it wasn’t working but now I got yours so thank you for that
CaptainHellfire well on his video it says press down on the right joystick I have not had time to try it but I heard that pressing L1 and right joystick works to but that one didn’t work for me
Use left bumper and right trigger together to lower yourself. Dive is left bumper and left stick click, but is not working just makes it shimmy left and right
One of my creative usages on this guy is, Build a gate spam big enough to lock him inside. Then if theres a creature you wanna tame you just hook it. Go with the bloodstalker to the cage and dismount. Lock the gates so the BS will be completely sealed. And when you dismount itll start pulling that creature but the cage wont let him reach the prey. And what you get is an 100% disabled creature perfect for shooting tranq at. Good for taming baryonyx on the bog. Note: you can use it for fliers as well. But tapejara is a bit of a problem. When it reaches near you it triggers its flee and itll gain enough speed to out run the BS hook which will lead to some sort of bug where its seems like its drawing the strings in but the BS already released the hook
I think the swimming ability is bugged on Xbox. I can't get my bloodstalker to swim for the life of me. I have tried literally every single button on my controller, literally nothing works.
Oh my lord I didn't know it did emotes! I got the hang of this guy over time, but that's just gold. I knew about the drunken names, but I honestly need to get my friend on and make him drunk so he can see them.
First off, excellent video! I really appreciate you putting console and PC controls throughout. I managed to snatch up a level 90 female and a 145 male that were next to each other just today, slowly learning how to ride one of these awesome creatures! I am absolutely loving this new creature, hopefully with a lot more practice I'll be swinging more consistently like you, thanks again!
Hey syntac these controls are incorrect for console here is the correct controls. You also missed some things about the blood stalker as well. Right trigger = “swing” web which shoot out a single web will pull you forward while looking at it and with swing you forward if your not Left trigger = “slingshot” or “sling” web this will put two webs out you can manual put one down (with swing web) and then the second (with sling web) as you showed in your video and then pull yourself BUT you can also walk backwards while they are attached and slingshot yourself by pulling back against the webs and fire it the slingshot with jump which will fire you further RB = look but also is Hover an easy way to hover without swapping views is to hold LB + RB you do not have to hold LB for the entire thing if you are doing the “hover jump” just for the initial cast so your view doesn’t switch and you can tap “A” without it thinking your trying to switch to an item with LB + A Decending on a web or two is LB + (either trigger) L3 is sprint and climb A = jump. Holding jump while rocketing towards a surface will climb it on impact And there are 3 different jumps, jump double jump and charged jump if standing still and charge jumping while holding a direction the spider will front flip towards the direction but charge jumping is a great way to start momentum by getting great height. R3 is attack and break webs Webs can be broken at any time and any web can be broken you can even make a trap of walls and a roof over the trap and then start dealing them in only to cut the web and the creature fall in a building L1 + L3 is toggle switch but it seems to be bugged on single player and may or may not work on a server Equipping an item will make your bloodstalker give you a higher vantage point and will even help you Dumb fun is also a thing as it can also emote as you showed and have funny names with beer a full list is on the wiki The important thing to not when climbing walls is that your camera becomes gyroscopic so up may become down and your controls may spin a bit but as long as you know which direction your facing you should be good Like if you want :)
This isn’t about a bloods talker but I’ve been breeding rexs without an S plus Hatchery for a week and I’ve got a Rex that deals 800 damage per hit and has awesome colors thanks to that vid you did a lil while ago about mutations so thx man but seriously it sucks without S plus 😂
Something happened to me today, I just went near one of my bloodstalker and it killed me instantly, then ate my corpse and took my inventory, then I went back it is like nothing had happened. Why??????
This is such a good instructional video, I feel like I'm at school. Also, the overall mechanic of the swinging is very similar to the new Spider Man game
Just a little extra to when he starts drinking your blood (because he is under 40% health) if you drag in a creature and lets him drain that instead you will be fine
the bloodstalker has 2 abilities you didn't mention 1. he can leap forward on the ground if you push spacebar 2 times and 2. he can still go to the surface even if you use the x button deep in the ocean
Hey Syntac, Unfortunatlly with the latest patch they removed the ability to use the miningdrill while mounted on the bloodstalker, guns stil work though
I could not figure out how to use the bloodstalker for the life of me. I watched so many videos about how to use it and none of the videos were nearly as good or instructive. Thanks Syntac! I can actually use my Bloodstalker now!
I always used the left click for getting around, and the right click in mid air only if I know I can get them separated. Then I also use only the right click to launch from the ground.
Several other creatures can also grab corpses or unconcious people using g, including dire wolves, raptors, rexes, pteras and quetz. I havent tested all ARK creatures so there could be even more!
Cute Tip: If you are wearing a Chibi while riding a bloodstalker and k camera to look at your av you can see that your avatar kind of holds the chibi between their hands. You can also go into that first person view with a tool in your hand and see your chibi up really close between you and the spider.
You don’t need to be near the surface for ‘x’ to make u resurface, you can hit x at any depth and it will go up on top of the water again all by it self
Hold down control in the air and it will act like a parachute on the bloodstalker . After a few seconds you can hit space bar to jump and hit control again to glide further.
You know that picking up a corpse on a creature isn’t a bloodstalker ability right?, you can do that on all creatures if they have enough weight, same for players
You should make this type of tutorials for other genesis creatures as well. This was quite educational. Very unfortunate that you can't swim on Xbox though.
Wallclimbing and sticking to the walls from swing/reeling is completely busted on console. Shit doesn't work about 90 percent of the time. Also, while hanging from a web, you cannot under any circumstances spool yourself down. If you try you just detach. They should have tested this bullshit before release.
okay so I'm on console (Xbox) and I CANNOT swim at all its so annoying and my blood stalkers webs won't show when I'm on the island, the center, ragnarok, and valguero. I also cant pick dead bodies up I just jump off my mount its so annoying.
Ever accidentally tamed something you might get very attached to? Thats what the bloodstalker is to me 😂 tamed it while I had a couple stacks of blood in my inventory and one grabbed me
Alright HEAR ME OUT, I may have spaced it out i learned some new things but i've seen people like parachute with their bloodstalkers how tf doess that work?
Man it is complex, no joke I'm gonna have to practise up later coz I got one of these creatures in a gift box set by the servers admin during last night's Christmas party (it was funny ah, Reindeer and Sheep races)
Done wit this game 2hrs of idle of blood packing 2 tame I c what people made this game. Good one u got my money not anymore of my time till the unreal grind is fixed il check back in when 66 sn't showing up on the Gathering numbers
Two questions if anyone has answers, do wild bloodstalkers attack you if you are riding one? And can wild ones grab you with their webs when you are riding one?
I'm on Xbox and having trouble getting my bloodstalker to stay under water it only goes under the water when I dismount and when I do mount it comes back up
i'm sorry but you are aware that your singleplayer videos arent in any way comparable to online play. first of there's none of the lagg or rubberbanding, and the anti meshing is disabled on singleplayer servers. so in a essence half your videos are pretty useless.
So does clicking the right stick actually lower you because doesn't that just cut the grapple and also does pressing y work to pick up a corpse because i don't think it works

I amm first

Syntac you should look into the attack drone taming.
Wonder if the blood stalker sucking your blood while drunk would do anything
Drake: "I'm the fastest mount in aberration."
Bloodstalker: "Hold my bloodbag."
Bloodstalker is in gen
@@KY-KRYSLESS they can be transported to ab.
Haha good one
The Bloodstalker is definitely one of the most unique and interesting creatures that Ark has ever released. Swing physics, tether, it's all there.
Not one of the best its the best
I'm really impressed at the animations too. It's got swings, flips, gliding, climbing, etc.
@GroundedOnTwo I wouldn't call them gimmicky. If I didn't enable fliers on my SP save, I'd use only the bloodstalker for movement. Even with my argy available, I still use my bloodstalker for mobility 70% of the time. And I've found them to work just fine (if not better) in the non bog biomes. The giant spires in the ocean, the valleys in the volcanic biome, and the numerous trees in the arctic give me plenty of easy grapple points.
@@ducky2379 also blood stalker can walk on water so its good travel to other island in ocean and you should go to red wood with bloodstalker
It's obvious the devs had their favourite Genesis creature.
Thank you now I can control my bloodstaker much better you should make more videos like this one
Man, when you had all those Blood Stalkers lined up to show the different drunk names, I thought you were going to make them all dance at the same time. It would have been just like the Thriller video.
Lol.. literally just crashed my game trying to figure out how to use these things then this comes out...
Take a couple of steps back smoke some weed and rethink EVERYTHING
Jk
Thank you for putting like PS controls too I really liked that I was having a hard time with the dive because someone said it was a different button and it wasn’t working but now I got yours so thank you for that
What is the dive button? I’ve been having trouble with it too
CaptainHellfire well on his video it says press down on the right joystick I have not had time to try it but I heard that pressing L1 and right joystick works to but that one didn’t work for me
Pool_wolf Butler that was the same case for me I was hoping someone found a solution to that one
Definitely an amazing guide to the Bloodstalkers, wondering if there will be guides on the other creatures of Genesis
probably not, this one was very complex so it deserved a good overview
This is really helpful Syntac, thx :)
Also I don’t think there is a way to get under the water or lower yourself on console
Use left bumper and right trigger together to lower yourself. Dive is left bumper and left stick click, but is not working just makes it shimmy left and right
L1 with the R3 button and look down had the same problem
Dagwood05 ME TOO I play on Xbox and I just shimmy
Shimmy confirmed on xbox. They'll fix eventually. All in all, still pretty cool.
One of my creative usages on this guy is,
Build a gate spam big enough to lock him inside. Then if theres a creature you wanna tame you just hook it.
Go with the bloodstalker to the cage and dismount. Lock the gates so the BS will be completely sealed.
And when you dismount itll start pulling that creature but the cage wont let him reach the prey.
And what you get is an 100% disabled creature perfect for shooting tranq at.
Good for taming baryonyx on the bog.
Note: you can use it for fliers as well.
But tapejara is a bit of a problem.
When it reaches near you it triggers its flee and itll gain enough speed to out run the BS hook which will lead to some sort of bug where its seems like its drawing the strings in but the BS already released the hook
awesome tip
12:30
The dance it’s doing could be something it do to scare off predators like some spiders in real life.
If they implemented that into the game that'd be epic
Great video dude. Favorite Ark TH-camr. When are you going to do your mutations? Super hyped for those!
Hey syntac. Just wanted to add while you can reel in creatures u can also lower/ give slack. Same control as lowering with webs
How do you give slack on console?
Hold left bumper and use right trigger
@@gettinerdone2503 oh awesome thanks.
hlna says “well fuck” at the end of Genesis part 1
R.I.P Bloodwork
only if you knew then
Indeed 😭
11:53 if you let go AND press jump you get slighshotted forward
I think the swimming ability is bugged on Xbox. I can't get my bloodstalker to swim for the life of me. I have tried literally every single button on my controller, literally nothing works.
Anyone else have a problem where when taming a bloodstalker it's taming effectiveness starts at 50%?
BigMSauce Mac you have to feed it a Dino before you give it blood
gotta sacrifice tames , or yourself to get it to 100% TE
On console, when gliding. I would suggest holding the other bumper as well, it cancels the first person switch!
Oh my lord I didn't know it did emotes!
I got the hang of this guy over time, but that's just gold. I knew about the drunken names, but I honestly need to get my friend on and make him drunk so he can see them.
I have been waiting foe this video for soo long 😂😂😂
At 10:20 this thing isn’t a fighter “dose 1752 dmg”
When using bloodstalker underwater, shift or sprint works as a burst. Spamming shift underwater is way faster than holding it but it chews stamina
To get out of the water on Xbox it's actually left bumper and press left stick in (you can't be pressing anything else). Right stick is attack.
First off, excellent video! I really appreciate you putting console and PC controls throughout. I managed to snatch up a level 90 female and a 145 male that were next to each other just today, slowly learning how to ride one of these awesome creatures! I am absolutely loving this new creature, hopefully with a lot more practice I'll be swinging more consistently like you, thanks again!
Hey syntac these controls are incorrect for console here is the correct controls. You also missed some things about the blood stalker as well.
Right trigger = “swing” web which shoot out a single web will pull you forward while looking at it and with swing you forward if your not
Left trigger = “slingshot” or “sling” web this will put two webs out you can manual put one down (with swing web) and then the second (with sling web) as you showed in your video and then pull yourself BUT you can also walk backwards while they are attached and slingshot yourself by pulling back against the webs and fire it the slingshot with jump which will fire you further
RB = look but also is Hover
an easy way to hover without swapping views is to hold LB + RB you do not have to hold LB for the entire thing if you are doing the “hover jump” just for the initial cast so your view doesn’t switch and you can tap “A” without it thinking your trying to switch to an item with LB + A
Decending on a web or two is LB + (either trigger)
L3 is sprint and climb
A = jump. Holding jump while rocketing towards a surface will climb it on impact And there are 3 different jumps, jump double jump and charged jump if standing still and charge jumping while holding a direction the spider will front flip towards the direction but charge jumping is a great way to start momentum by getting great height.
R3 is attack and break webs
Webs can be broken at any time and any web can be broken you can even make a trap of walls and a roof over the trap and then start dealing them in only to cut the web and the creature fall in a building
L1 + L3 is toggle switch but it seems to be bugged on single player and may or may not work on a server
Equipping an item will make your bloodstalker give you a higher vantage point and will even help you
Dumb fun is also a thing as it can also emote as you showed and have funny names with beer a full list is on the wiki
The important thing to not when climbing walls is that your camera becomes gyroscopic so up may become down and your controls may spin a bit but as long as you know which direction your facing you should be good
Like if you want :)
13:00 that's how you Irish see it any ways
Lmaooo
Don't swing while drunk.
This isn’t about a bloods talker but I’ve been breeding rexs without an S plus Hatchery for a week and I’ve got a Rex that deals 800 damage per hit and has awesome colors thanks to that vid you did a lil while ago about mutations so thx man but seriously it sucks without S plus 😂
I’ve actually been breeding for weeks 😂😂
Something happened to me today, I just went near one of my bloodstalker and it killed me instantly, then ate my corpse and took my inventory, then I went back it is like nothing had happened. Why??????
You have to earn its trust mine is obedient and loyal
Probably one of arks bug
Imagine using a bloodstalker as a soaker with the blood sucking ability and a weapon in your hand.
This is such a good instructional video, I feel like I'm at school.
Also, the overall mechanic of the swinging is very similar to the new Spider Man game
For the ps control for the gliding, you have to hold L1 and R1 at the same time🙂
Just a little extra to when he starts drinking your blood (because he is under 40% health) if you drag in a creature and lets him drain that instead you will be fine
I saw “Ultimate” on the title and I thought Ultimate Ark was back 😓
ALDAIR sad
Rekt
Syntac lol how about Your ReKt
Syntac 😓
WTH?! this thing has everything!!! they literally made a spiderman creature XD I kinda wanna go back into ark
The fact that you also showed controls for the consoles makes you the MVP
HI I just started watching you about 3 month ago and I LOVE u videos I have watched all of telhem at least 2, times
Now I know how to use it properly, 🙏 thanks! 🤗
On console it is LB/L1 + RS/R3 to dive under water
the bloodstalker has 2 abilities you didn't mention 1. he can leap forward on the ground if you push spacebar 2 times and 2. he can still go to the surface even if you use the x button deep in the ocean
I wish with the phone cases had a LG stylo 3 if you could do that that would be awsome because thats what kind of phone I have and I love your videos.
Oh my god I love this creature so much more now
Does it affect the bloodstalker if it drinks your blood while you’re drunk? That would be funny if it danced randomly or had a wobble in its walk
Thanks I’m on console and the controls are hard to test out and find new things without screwing something up this really helped a lot
Hey Syntac, Unfortunatlly with the latest patch they removed the ability to use the miningdrill while mounted on the bloodstalker, guns stil work though
weird
I cant go under at all ive used x on my pc, that wont work ive tried with my controller and my ps4 and nothing is working can somebody help
Have you altered your hot keys? If so, then whatever key you have for Going Prone should do it. Check in your options for which key it is.
I think the blood stalker was suppose to become the new fun tame instead of the mana but I don't think it is quite good enough to compete
Thanks for the ps4/Xbox/pc controls info. I just got my very own blood stalker and he’s my new favorite traveling Dino.
Anyone else still having a problem with the Bloodstalkers taming and how it goes up to 500% taming before you tame it?
I could not figure out how to use the bloodstalker for the life of me. I watched so many videos about how to use it and none of the videos were nearly as good or instructive. Thanks Syntac! I can actually use my Bloodstalker now!
This thing is amazing in sunken forest
I always used the left click for getting around, and the right click in mid air only if I know I can get them separated. Then I also use only the right click to launch from the ground.
Several other creatures can also grab corpses or unconcious people using g, including dire wolves, raptors, rexes, pteras and quetz. I havent tested all ARK creatures so there could be even more!

You can also go into that first person view with a tool in your hand and see your chibi up really close between you and the spider.
My favorite is when I was testing it I found out you can grab jump high and kill the person from fall 😂😂
Since you have a tons and tons of ferox, can you do a mutation video on Ferox?
You don’t need to be near the surface for ‘x’ to make u resurface, you can hit x at any depth and it will go up on top of the water again all by it self
If you press shift on top of that, it goes up really fast.
Hold down control in the air and it will act like a parachute on the bloodstalker . After a few seconds you can hit space bar to jump and hit control again to glide further.
65 likes and 6 views, definitely precise youtube
Syntac= tell me any secrets down below
New Syntac= Makes video on how to use it

“finally a worthy opponent!”
“our fight will be legenday!!”
(kung fu panda ref btw)
You know that picking up a corpse on a creature isn’t a bloodstalker ability right?, you can do that on all creatures if they have enough weight, same for players
*Spaghetti monster*
First Video i saw, that covers nearly all its amazing abilities
He replied to me 😎
PSA this no longer possible on official servers due to the extreme amount of lag.
Thanks for the tips! This thing was confusing me so much! Now the next step is me retaining this information for the next time I jump on Genesis
I feel like they made this creature first and built the dlc around it
ROFL! I'm naming my Bloodstalker "Grabby Mc'Slurpy"
You should make this type of tutorials for other genesis creatures as well. This was quite educational. Very unfortunate that you can't swim on Xbox though.
You can!! Just press and hold LB and click LS
Some times you need to click RS as well. 👍🏻
Wallclimbing and sticking to the walls from swing/reeling is completely busted on console. Shit doesn't work about 90 percent of the time.

Thx you my favorite youtuber💖
Ps im plaing On xbox and im from poland
My bloodstalker doesn't highlight wild creatures...anyone here with the same problem?😅
Man it is complex, no joke I'm gonna have to practise up later coz I got one of these creatures in a gift box set by the servers admin during last night's Christmas party (it was funny ah, Reindeer and Sheep races)
First
Srirang Kale not even close lol
Thank you VERY much! As an Xbox user, I have been very frustrated, but now my peace of mind has returned =;0)
I’m stuck on my blood stalker with the webs deployed, right stick isn’t working lmao
Done wit this game 2hrs of idle of blood packing 2 tame I c what people made this game. Good one u got my money not anymore of my time till the unreal grind is fixed il check back in when 66 sn't showing up on the Gathering numbers
I’m on ps4 in the lowering when the stalker is on the web ain’t working just keep going into the parachute and I’m pressing r1 as in R for ps4.
Funny thing to be asking here considering it’s way off topic but why did TH-cam move the comments back down here?
Two questions if anyone has answers, do wild bloodstalkers attack you if you are riding one? And can wild ones grab you with their webs when you are riding one?
How do I get one on the island? I recently got raided by someone with a level 300 one , so I know it’s possible. I’m on official pvp.
To glide on console you have to hold both bumpers ( Xbox RB and LB, PS4 R1 and L1)
Everything on xbox works and is just as difficult and annoying
I'm on Xbox and having trouble getting my bloodstalker to stay under water it only goes under the water when I dismount and when I do mount it comes back up
this thing has so many abilitys why don't they use some for other creatures like climbing and water walking for spiders and scorpions webs for spider
No family friendly, wish I had known he swears before watching this with my child.
I still can't go underwater on Xbox. Someone plz help
Well, my Name is Letty, Hi. Now i know how to Name my Bloodstalker :3 xD
i'm sorry but you are aware that your singleplayer videos arent in any way comparable to online play.
first of there's none of the lagg or rubberbanding, and the anti meshing is disabled on singleplayer servers.
so in a essence half your videos are pretty useless.
Lowering and swimming doesnt work becuase right joystick down is to disable webs and attack
I’m having issues on the diving with the Xbox. I press the right buttons but he just twitches and sheets shuffling side to side. Do you have tips?
Why when I Sprint with the blood stalker it just stays on climbing mode and doesn't runn as fast
So does clicking the right stick actually lower you because doesn't that just cut the grapple and also does pressing y work to pick up a corpse because i don't think it works
Unsure the console key but diving in the water isnt the right thumbstick for me on xbox. Havent figured it out yet
