[@makayla7113]

Syntac you should look into the attack drone taming.

[@makayla7113]

Wonder if the blood stalker sucking your blood while drunk would do anything

[@scado5679]

The Bloodstalker is definitely one of the most unique and interesting creatures that Ark has ever released. Swing physics, tether, it's all there.

[@quackquackquack8913]

Not one of the best its the best

[@ducky2379]

I'm really impressed at the animations too. It's got swings, flips, gliding, climbing, etc.

[@ducky2379]

@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.

[@quackquackquack8913]

@@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

[@Page-bv9td]

It's obvious the devs had their favourite Genesis creature.

[@whenuwish1217]

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.

[@ejfinnegan4222]

Thank you now I can control my bloodstaker much better you should make more videos like this one

[@marcusbrasilite]

Drake: "I'm the fastest mount in aberration." Bloodstalker: "Hold my bloodbag."

Bloodstalker is in gen

[@marcusbrasilite]

@@KY-KRYSLESS they can be transported to ab.

[@youtubeunboxingvideos2690]

Haha good one

[@Awesome-1001]

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

[@wakkosick6525]

awesome tip

[@nightmare_001-ii7]

12:30 The dance it’s doing could be something it do to scare off predators like some spiders in real life.

[@BlackHawkNL]

If they implemented that into the game that'd be epic

[@pool_wolfbutler705]

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

[@Zwerchhau1411]

What is the dive button? I’ve been having trouble with it too

[@pool_wolfbutler705]

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

[@Zwerchhau1411]

Pool_wolf Butler that was the same case for me I was hoping someone found a solution to that one

[@Jyharri]

Definitely an amazing guide to the Bloodstalkers, wondering if there will be guides on the other creatures of Genesis

[@Syntac]

probably not, this one was very complex so it deserved a good overview

[@NeithDollhouse]

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!

[@gettinerdone2503]

Hey syntac. Just wanted to add while you can reel in creatures u can also lower/ give slack. Same control as lowering with webs

[@Drool2]

How do you give slack on console?

[@gettinerdone2503]

Hold left bumper and use right trigger

[@Drool2]

@@gettinerdone2503 oh awesome thanks.

[@jaredtaylor4326]

Great video dude. Favorite Ark KZbinr. When are you going to do your mutations? Super hyped for those!

[@PirGoldsword]

The fact that you also showed controls for the consoles makes you the MVP

[@prysmik5194]

On console, when gliding. I would suggest holding the other bumper as well, it cancels the first person switch!

[@MorrisMagic]

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.

[@Mortivore05]

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!

[@bez802]

11:53 if you let go AND press jump you get slighshotted forward

[@JaeJekyll]

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.

[@crimsonclover1588]

Thanks for the ps4/Xbox/pc controls info. I just got my very own blood stalker and he’s my new favorite traveling Dino.

[@nsama9237]

For the ps control for the gliding, you have to hold L1 and R1 at the same time🙂

[@logantaylor19]

When using bloodstalker underwater, shift or sprint works as a burst. Spamming shift underwater is way faster than holding it but it chews stamina

[@offiziellerkanalvondoggen-3116]

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

[@parks8814]

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

[@mikkelrjkjr8763]

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

[@Icestar_Dragon]

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.

[@MrAflac_1]

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

[@gettinerdone2503]

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

[@humbertocarballido2294]

L1 with the R3 button and look down had the same problem

[@monarchmain-6905]

Dagwood05 ME TOO I play on Xbox and I just shimmy

[@Lazt]

Shimmy confirmed on xbox. They'll fix eventually. All in all, still pretty cool.

[@alcaraz2649]

Oh my god I love this creature so much more now

[@jbgalloway2010]

Lol.. literally just crashed my game trying to figure out how to use these things then this comes out...

[@BlackHawkNL]

Take a couple of steps back smoke some weed and rethink EVERYTHING

[@BlackHawkNL]

Jk

[@chickenkebab5978]

On console it is LB/L1 + RS/R3 to dive under water

[@echothestar4595]

Im so glad your voice isn't annoying like most tutorial makers

[@CrimsonVox-oq4dx]

hlna says “well fuck” at the end of Genesis part 1

[@ianblakeman2418]

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

[@Ju-Peter667]

syntac daddy still carries me after two years later, man are those controlls mad

13:00 that's how you Irish see it any ways

[@banheesos]

Lmaooo

[@jacobnunn6960]

Love the beer thing. It’s the only one I didn’t know about, but it was worth the watch to laugh my butt off in the end.

[@ameliadriscoll8634]

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!

[@brandonwilliams7371]

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.

[@felixkraemer2432]

While in the water you can dive down really fast by holding Ctrl and go up really fast by pressing x and holding forward/w + space

[@SkaterKing101]

On pc when you hold shift/run on the bloody and then spacebar/jump the bloody does a flip then you can web sling away. Also if you hold the jump button, it does a super springy jump. You can also leave it dangling on a wall with its thread if you leap off and it has a walk climb ability like a spider. Basically can walk across walls and ceilings

[@kruznorman3686]

Thx

[@BeannyYT]

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

The Bloodstalker is definitely my Favorit in Ark

[@robr3zor851]

PSA this no longer possible on official servers due to the extreme amount of lag.

[@souldestroyertjree696]

I have been waiting foe this video for soo long 😂😂😂

[@boetvaarhorst]

Now I know how to use it properly, 🙏 thanks! 🤗

[@ducky2379]

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.

[@andersbuchjeppesen5493]

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

[@ruka_2178]

If you press shift on top of that, it goes up really fast.

[@Sam-he5xo]

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

[@tylersysel5966]

The carrying corpses with the bloodstalker also works with the Rex. I found that out before the genesis update. I know that some other creature have it as well.

[@mcnut3183]

This thing is amazing in sunken forest

[@trentargante8384]

Thank you VERY much! As an Xbox user, I have been very frustrated, but now my peace of mind has returned =;0)

[@adamd6648]

Indeed 😭

[@iceburger2664]

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 😂

[@iceburger2664]

I’ve actually been breeding for weeks 😂😂

[@gameosaur52s58]

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.

[@robot2nonot392]

You can!! Just press and hold LB and click LS Some times you need to click RS as well. 👍🏻

[@pepsirango]

There is a few things underwater it can do other than mentioned. When you are underwater and press x it makes you go up and if you spam shift while doing it then it goes really fast, to cancel this press x again. If you dismount your bloodstalker underwater (if it is not on follow) it will swim up fast. You can also swim faster with shift and again spamming it makes it go extremely fast. The spamming of shift this is properly a bug tho.

[@dominiccrotty2414]

Thanks a lot.Helped so much!

[@SuperKaiisawesome]

Hey Syntac, Unfortunatlly with the latest patch they removed the ability to use the miningdrill while mounted on the bloodstalker, guns stil work though

[@Syntac]

weird

[@xcantenerealguy1361]

WTH?! this thing has everything!!! they literally made a spiderman creature XD I kinda wanna go back into ark

[@willsmoak9975]

Thanks for the time give us videos I'm grateful it pass time and make me feel better watching videos

[@BlackHawkNL]

Yo that's actually insane bro

[@wilberator9608]

The beer thing should work with every tamed animal in ARK, it's hilarious.

[@beastebeat4956]

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

[@hush_when1]

Thanks

[@tarzoon126]

Yes you can spam the gliding jump. You just have to have good timing. Then the spider can fly

[@shiftingmind8725]

when using left click you can draw in with one if you hold shift

[@gulraj5965]

On console I would 100% recommend to disable spider vision it helps with the lag a ton if you do lag

[@ducky2379]

Two things that are worth mentioning that weren't addressed in the video: wild Megatheriums don't rage near bloodstalker (you can see this at 9:40), and if you're swimming underwater and hit X it will rise to the surface but THERE IS NO WAY TO CANCEL THIS (to my knowledge at least, this has gotten me stuck on the ceiling of underwater caves before).

[@pepsirango]

you can cancel the thing where you go to the surface by just pressing x again.

[@ducky2379]

Pepsirango That did not work for me, I was practically glued to the ceiling of the cave lol

[@cameronpotter1510]

To glide on console you have to hold both bumpers ( Xbox RB and LB, PS4 R1 and L1)

[@n3llyboy]

Great video Syntac. I watched Tenvince a while ago for these handy tips.

[@obiguanche5512]

The thing about the weird names when drunk is something I wish we could have for every creature.

Omg this help me so much i just really want you to know that you have to keep doing what you do

[@TheWererapter92]

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)

Since you have a tons and tons of ferox, can you do a mutation video on Ferox?

Or "slingshot" is fun. On ground, two webs, hold S, jump.

[@jordanashe7656]

Yeh he said that

[@NoOne-vh6qz]

Remember the time when syntac wanted all of the things the bloodstalker does now on the araneo as a TLC. (araneo taming video cluster series)

[@Mickey-qg4ot]

Lol had no idea you could glide or dive thanks syntac

[@jamesburrellgaming1282]

Imagine using a bloodstalker as a soaker with the blood sucking ability and a weapon in your hand.

[@Shadow_of_Christ]

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 :)
