Bloodstalker — Detailed Guide

The Bloodstalker is the web-slinging spider of Genesis: Part 1. It swings through the treetops, climbs, skates on water and pulls enemies in with a web hook. It needs no saddle, and it is one of the most mobile mounts in the game.

Where to find it

It lives high in the giant trees, branches and caves of Genesis: Part 1 and rarely walks the ground. In ASE it also appears on Genesis: Part 2.

Taming

A passive tame that runs on Blood Packs. Carry Blood Packs and let a wild Bloodstalker latch onto you. It drains them until it is tamed or you run out. It takes about 10 packs per creature level. Letting it web-grab and kill tame creatures such as Parasaurs raises taming effectiveness. Bug Repellent keeps insect swarms from breaking the tame.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 2 hours 56 minutes at 27 to 30 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 2.3 days at 1x. Feed it Blood Packs or Raw Meat.

Uses

  • Travel: web swings, double jumps and no fall damage.
  • Taming support: shoot from safety in the trees.
  • Other: fishing, harvesting Cnidaria and stealing eggs from nests.

Tips

Blood Packs expire after 30 minutes unless you preserve them with Preserving Salt. Below 40% health it drains its rider's blood to heal unless you carry packs.
