Encountering Tips
How do I kill a arthropluera? arthropluera battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Found in almost every caves except the underwater , Lava and Snow (they don't like extreme weather I guess) easiest taming methods lure it into water and let it sink to bottom, no oxygen stat so won't drown, go and feed it spoiled meat, tame it , put a saddle and get out :)
I would recommend trying to tame raptors because they fit into the cave and can protect from the bugs
It just had to be a non-violent tame didn’t it. And yet one of the only places they spawn, scorched earth, to get ghille you have to kill mantises. *Shudders*
Make sure ur armor is strong because this will destroy ur armor really quick
If you wack it with a melee weapon he will return the damage back to you,I got one-shot with my own sword,it takes more damage from range so bow,pistol,and the best one Shotgun
They aren't scary or hard to deal with when you get a good bow
USE RANGE WEAPONS ON IT,IT TAKES MORE DAMAGE WITH RANGED WEAPON,AND DONT USE MELEE,AND TRY AVOID IT’S SPIT
Bring extra armour or a tame as it can one shot your armour with its spit
Once you're able to tame a spino... Caves are nothing.
I run caves with my spino, Mr Wick and his Baryonyx, Dog.
If Dog gets hit, Mr Wick kills everything xD
ID RATHER DIE THAN DO IT YOUR WAY.
-Me right before my tek armor broke
It seems like people don’t mention that Arthros take increased damage from projectiles and they have a headshot modifier
Guys be very very careful this creature can destroy u even if u have flak armor 5 800 armor like me. This shouldn't be called arthropleura it should be called lucifer
Don't use a sword or any melee weapon because it breaks them and keep a distance and bring a long range weapon and if you hate bugs especially when they to the point of being a footipede instead of a centipede then that will always work but watch out for others too!
I dont know its a bug or what, but when i was on dungeon and fight these artho's with my sword, after some seconds attacking them my sword has break n yet got died :/
Be careful with these guys. They can destroy anything from thatch to tek so if preferably use bug repellent.
Very strong. It can damage everything, even tek. It can damage everything, like a titanosaur. Very strange. Stay away if you want to live.
I once encountered this pretty much rare creature in the cave of the hunter. I had a metal shield with full durability and it was destroyed by two or three spits(easy mode btw). Obviously it was bye-bye metal shield. One thing I noticed though is that they are a bit like the titanoboa just with a spit added and could be killed with a pike. If you have a good movement speed level.
This things look cool and also they easy tame
These have a ranged attack, so watch out!!
You find it and then realise your dead 💀
Don’t melee an Arthropluera. Your weapon will break very fast. Use a tame or ranged weapon to kill safely.
