Hi I’m MastaCheeks420… here is my story
One day I ventured into one of the caves that you can find on the missions (ark Mobile) and it was a VERY GOOD place for metal and rocks etc. Only downside was the titanaboa and the spider along with the scorpions (plz don’t judge I can’t remember names) but at the time I didn’t know about them. There was this cliff that I didn’t see and I fell down into it. NOTE: I’m about level 40+ and unlocked the primitive longneck rifle, primitive double barrel shotgun, and primitive crossbow (no attachments). Lucky I had 50 rifle shells and 46 shotgun-shells, with a handful of arrows in the crispy crossbow 🤘. So here is the layout of the cave… and yes I know it’s a freaking essay OK JUST DEAL WITH IT! But anyways the layout is first the cliff… no way up it’s too steap to climb and I had no resources on me other than food and water. So along with the wall on your back you have a front section of a “Y” or aka a fork. So I decide while I’m in there to find the artifact that was in there. I found it and I had just wasted 26 rifle rounds taking out 1000 hp+ scorpions so after the artifact I went to the right side of the “Y” and there is where it all started MY FIRST INCOUNTER WITH THE TITANA BOA!!! (Along with the spiders) No joke I thought the guys were tuff as nails but in all reality they are just a huge target. (Doom music kicks in) With the shotgun I started baiting them around a corner to their demise. I would have to run a few trying to reload the double barrel. But they were just easy targets. The tough ones were the spiders and scorpions. I didn’t want to deal with them so what I did was just full on sprint through the whole thing (stamina is at 240 while speed in near 250 so I’m a speedy boy) but I run, swim and parkour over all the critters and when I get to a choke point I am able to gather some wood and fiber to make 1 spike wall!!! And while the spike is building I have a horde of titana boas and arachnids in a big ol’ wave. Like no joke on each other trying to get a piece of me. So I’m blasting away and as soon as I ran out of shotgun bullets the spike wall was finished! I placed it down at the choke point and all of them died! I was able to rack up 4 LEVELS!!! I made my way out like nothing happened with half health and literally dieing of hunger… I had taken about 400 arrows in all from harvesting the titana boas and 804 chitin from spiders+scorpions!! And on my way out feeling like a champ… and then a level 40 Alfa raptor comes and stomps the crap out of me 🥲
Moral of the story… don’t smoke crack!
If u read this far your either a champ or a man/woman with nothing better to do with their life so you mine as well hit the up 🆙 button while u at it 👌 ima post this on the other species I encountered there as well.
For mobile:
1.Tame a low level pulmonoscorpius in a cave(recommended)/use bug repellent
2.bring spoiled meat
3.passive tame so feed it until it's tamed up
Up to show everyone.
I fear no man.... But that thing it scares me
(ARK MOBILE)
Make pursuits unlockable before having specified engrams for extra rewards
Example: did Artifact of the hunter and tributed it
*4 pursuits later*
Wants me to kill more araneos
Why
1 Go to a cave 2 punch it hide and knock it out 3 Get the tame out of the cave as soon as possible 4 realise you died at step 1
Taming tip! Lead them to water! Araneo will lose aggro once it submerged in water so just swim downward and wait for it to stop swimming, then swim back up to it and feed spoiled meat till it drowns or till it’s tame, whichever comes first lol. Great way to get one with a good oxygen stat! 😂
Fun tame good for base defense. Put a few in the bird cage or tame garage. Single not very effective but 4-5 will wreck kids.
Go inside Hunter Cave.
Apply Bug repellent.
Find and choose an Araneo you need.
Feed spoiled meat non violently.
Equip it saddle.
Run any cave you want and nothing will attack you.
*This technique works only if an Araneo is tamed in a cave.*
*Do not, never request the creature else cave dinos will attack you.
