Guys im playing on ark ultimate mobile edition, and im trying to tame a araneo by knockout, but it has no torpor bar, im playing on the island, ez mode, and i just cant find one with the torpor bar, any tips on how to get one?
On ASA as of right before the TLC it prefers superior or better kibble, not simple kibble.
To tame you need bug repellent and sneak up to it and shove rotten meat up it's butthole, same with arthropleura.
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!
Cheesy tip: mount a scorpion or Arthepluora or even another Araneo, walk up to the one u wanna tame while sitting on your tamed insect and feed it. For some reason none of the Dino in game agro on insect type dinos what so ever ;)
DO NOT GO NEXT TO MEGATHERIUMS WHILE RIDING THESE SPIDERS!!! I learned my lesson when I was riding my lvl 130 Araneo and a big sloth attacked me and killed me in 3 seconds doing 300-500 dmg. Don't be me
Best way to tame an Araneo is to use bug repellent.
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.
So, biggest thing no one tells you on here. If you only have repellant and no ghille, put it on and go at them from the SIDE!! Not head on, not directly behind. The side. Never aggros on you that way. From the back and front even with repellant it aggroed 3x each before i tried it this way.
In Asa, the Araneo needs superior kibble and is a knock out tame!
Since it got a TLC it should get new picture soon
STAY BACK... YOU EIGHT LEGGED FREEEEEEEEEEEAKS!!!!!!
Why passive??? Like seriously, why???
Even for ASE, the Araneo is an incredibly underrated tame. As for taming, you can tame a max level with rotten flesh, extremely easy and fun. Once tamed, it can slow down enemies with its web attacks and is generally a good defense for you base. Not to mention its extremely cool.
Bola it knock it out and feed it spoiled meat if its fails then its time TO RUN
The dossier says it bolas dinosaurs with its webs, spits venom, and has a venomous bite. It needs higher torpor damage a high torpor spit attack and it needs to Bola creatures that can be trapped by chain bolas. It also needs megalania/deinonychus stile climbing so it can move fluidly but also drop down and hang. Petition to makes this the true nightmare spider its supposed to be. A terror to fliers, caving, and players alike. The hybrid spider that defies nature shall be what it was intended.
