How do I kill a arthropluera? arthropluera battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Thanks to the Halloween event where these SOBs spawn anywhere they like near my base I've discovered they can slide under gates......you expect to be safe from land creatures, BUT NO. Current death count from unexpected attacks at 2.
They’re found in the cave where you get the artifact of the hunter
If you ever find it do not try to melee it to death
Just use a ranged weapon as it's much easier and won't eat through your armour
These are the only creature you have to worry about
Other than that everything can be meleed with ease
Just bring some stim berries and water
Don’t use your ascendant 500 damage sword you got from that terror bird pursuit on them… I learned that the hard way.
beware! arthropleuras have thorns X
Be extremely cautious when taming these guys can destroy all ur armor with one spit. I also don't suggest attacking them bc that will break ur weapons real fast. If u r in a cave either avoid it or dodge it's spit while shooting it. It is a passive tame that requires spoiled meat or broths of enlightenment. You need to use bug repellent when taming it and I suggest also wearing gillie for extra safeness. Once tamed they are best used as turrets bc they don't have great stats and they have a turret mode after all why not use it?
They take tripled damage from weapons like longnecks, don’t use melee or whatever ur using will get destroyed. Get out ur longneck and aim for its head, 1 or 2 shots should do it
Run only will break any type of armor in one to two spits
Arrows do an INCREDIBLE amount of damage, so use those instead of letting it destroy your melee weapons!!! 🗡🏹
If you plan on building in a cave, build at least 2 layers worth of walls of the material of your choice (the stronger the better). I built in a cave once, I logged in it was fine, I took my raptor out for some meat for my feeding troughs and when I got back, I saw one of these dudes eating my wall. My tames killed it but I had to fix that gap. So if you are planning on building in a cave. Have more than one wall dividing you and the killer centipedes. Or do the the therizinosuarus tips and do the bounce spike wall I mentioned. Never failed me.
WARNING!!!!!
This beast s attack can 3 shot you in full flak armor
As well as break it and most ppl alredy know this but whats new to me is that with their attack they can break your wepons too, like wipe durability in seconds.
RIP my ascendant sword
Do not enter the caves where these idiots live and if you do just run like hell until you get out of the cave
THEY REFLECT BACK HALF OF THE DAMAGE!! dont know if its only in mobile
Screw you ark for adding these pieces of crap
I would recommend trying to tame raptors because they fit into the cave and can protect from the bugs
Lol the mr. wick and dog story got me. Anyways back to all seriousness unless u have armor and a sword or guns DO NOT ENGAGE. This beast will knock u out in like 1 bite and kills in like 3 or 4
Wanna know something don’t use a meele weapon when I first time encounters it it broke my ascendant sword 💀
Make sure ur armor is strong because this will destroy ur armor really quick
Be careful. Destroyed my asc flak in 2 hits.
Wyverns with high damage help to kill these with ease.
