Bloodstalker Overview

In ARK: Survival Ascended, Bloodstalker occupies the harvester niche - earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. As a carnivore, it responds to passive taming - favoring Blood Packs (Lvl 1-140) - and ships with 600 base Stamina with outstanding staying power. It reproduces by laying fertilized eggs that incubate between 27°C and 30°C, with babies maturing over a lengthy period. Its harvest profile centers on Chitin, Raw Meat, making farming runs noticeably faster. It earns its place in the stable for survivors looking to graduate from early-game tames.

Harvesting a dead Bloodstalker yields Chitin, Raw Meat. The corpse has 230 harvest health, allowing multiple hits before it's fully depleted.

Different tools yield different quantities - check the table below to pick the right tool for the resource you need. Generally, a Pick favors meat while a Hatchet favors hide and secondary materials.
