ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

This thing when used correctly is a nuisance, Just imagine If a "shotgun" slowed you down while walking back, and those also haver a pretty high attack speed, can be used to farm chitin in your base, the low mobility, also STAM, HP and DMG plus not being that much acessible in the early game where It would really have a chance to shine also hurt It a lot, and do NOT get started on the weight of this thing, and the saddle is not that early, u could already have a raptor or ravager saddled by or a little after. The places where It spawns also don't help ( Abb. Variant spawns in red zone descent spiral and the unknow Iirc ) but on Extinction is where it could get a chance, as It spawns in certain parts of the santuary with relative abundance and you only need to trap it with wood and feed spoiled meat through the walls. When i play exct. I WILL try that , see If my thoughts that i cooked up here stand when on the actual test.

More Araneo Utility Tips
After the creatures replaced this many considered it useless now.to re-new this it would be nice if it had a full power climb,like megalania,maybe hav it be able to spin webs to trap creatures no-larger than a carno,to top it all off hav it spin webs around your base that produce silk and when wild dinos try to attack they get caught in the web.
Oh damn!!! Araneos got this huge update where they can climb webs and climb walls and stuff! OUR DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE, ARANEO FANS!!!
Everyone thinks they're useless. But fill your inner base with about 4 on aggressive. Your enemies will be stuck in a Web. Literally.
Bro THE ARANEO AFTER TLC IS FIRE YOU CAN CLIMB ON EVERY WALL U SEE AND BECOME SPIDER MAN RIDER
They should make the araneos R3 ability to be able to shoot a straight stream of web and act as a grappling hook.
the tlc makes it actually useful now
With its new TLC it can now use the aberrant ziplines like a ravager it can also climb and produce its own silk line that it can only use too
The weight stat affects what you can tether while the melee stat increases torpor
They should be able to climb like a megalania or rock drake, at least in mobile, because megalanias and rock drakes aren't in mobile.
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.
