Tips & Strategies
to first tame one you should get bug repellent so the bugs in the cave don't agro on you but with that you can't get to close to the bugs bc thay will agro. so you can try gilly and repellent if you can then get something long range torpor weapon like a cross bow with torpor arrows or a long neck rifle with thank darts and make the spider go to sleep. then get spoiled meat and put it into the inventory of the spider and it will start tameing.

Use EXCEPTIONAL KIBBLE somebody here said use superior you will not get best lvls this is for ASA
After the TLC update it became a simple knockout tame. It hardly takes any tranqs and can be fed with spoiled meat or superior kibble like before
If you tame this creature outside a cave(especially revival tame etc.)Creatures on every cave will still argo you, if you want to be ignored and be vulnerable(unless u don't attack any of them) against cave creatures/caves, tame a araneo/arthroupleura inside a cave, once you've tamed it, no cave creatures will attack you(unless you won't attack them). idk if this work on pc, but works on mobile for me.:v
The taming for the tlc update has changed , now it's a knock out tame that eats superior kibble and can be bolad
After the TLC - DO NOT try and use SIMPLE kibble. It will ruin the tame!
SIMPLE kibble WILL RUIN your tame!!!
Each simple kibble will increase tame by .1% and lose you 10 levels of tame.
While it says Simple on here and the Spyglass, use SUPERIOR kibble!
As of the tlc the araneo takes superior kibble and is a knockout tame
NOT A PASSIVE TAME ANYMORE I learned this the hard way after trying for almost an hour. Also all you have to do to knock one out is shoot it once or twice with tranq darts. Super easy, definitely worth it.
Itβs not a passive tame after the TLC launched
On ASA as of right before the TLC it prefers superior or better kibble, not simple kibble.
In Asa, the Araneo needs superior kibble and is a knock out tame!
