Method

Special tame

This taming method isn't supported yet.

Steps

Bring plenty of Blood Packs and suitable armor / healing (this tame is dangerous).
Approach a Bloodstalker carefully and let it grab you (follow the in-game method).
Feed it Blood Packs when the game allows (timing/conditions matter).
Repeat until the tame completes, then get it to safety.

Notes

This tame does not behave like a standard KO or passive food tame; ArkStatus currently shows guidance only.
