ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Probably a good idea to apply the same rule for fighting Onycs, that is, avoid melee. Their acid can hit you on smaller mounts you would usually bring in caves. They can be hard to spot in water and against uneven cave walls, but their oil-puddle-like iridescence can give them away if you look hard enough.
More Arthropluera Encountering Tips
DO NOT ENGAGE OR YOU WILL DIE! I was hunting araneos when this thing came out of nowhere and three shot me! All my dimorphs were literally devoured when I came back. It is like centipedes in real life but instead of killing you slowly with poison it kills you with bites quickly. Do not equip anything lower than Chitin or you will get one shot.
They CANNOT attack you while in the water!!!
Stay TF back. Bug repellant and ghillie seems like your best option. Also, a longbow and a lot of distance. If it spots you, duck and weave MF, duck and weave!

But most importantly he says good bye to your flak
Desmodus can pick these things up. And they can't spit on your armor while picked up. It's useful for moving them to a spot you can tame them easier.
Be mindful that arthro spit can break or severely damage even high-quality armor in a single hit. This is most notably a problem in swamp cave since if your gas mask or scuba breaks you will start taking poison gas damage. Stay safe in caves and bring some backup armor.
