Giant spider don’t play dude. I got killed several times by one
You will find them at the cave located at Lat 80 Long 52
Why?!?!?!? #$@* this thing. Kill them all
Due to the darkness of caves and some areas being covered with bushes/ferns/grass/etc., these guys camouflage really well. An empty section of the cave could be a trap, guys.
To take this arachnid araneo u must get bug repellent and sneak behind cuz if u sneak infront it will see u and kill u even if u have bug repellent. Found only in caves.
I went into a cave at the artic and it is not worth it I get attacked by onycs I kept falling in the traps I set up like ten beds died every time argie was watching me ps no hard feelings thundie bird
How to easily tame, without using anykind stuff like chilli, or repellent :
Tame first a scorpion (whatever LV), within a cave
Ride the Scorpion, while approaching the spider
As the spider wouldn't notice you, you can feed it easily
While you want the spider :
To go in caves, and to slow down any opponents, or wild creatures that you might want to kill
Disadvantages :
His whole stats are so low (low stamina, low attacks, low weight)
Only the speed is decent, but the stamina makes it slow as hell
Why are these not venomous like it’s a giant spider
These guys aren’t as bad as most people make out. Any decent cave mount can deal with them pretty easily, or a decent shotgun (double barrel or pump) if you don’t have a mount. Just remember to bring stimulants and med brews if you’re on foot
Those who say riding a scorpion does aggro this, its true, only if you tame a scorpion outside the cave
Just shove rotten meat up its ass and then climb on the wals
If going to a dungeon (mobile) with broodgenetix PLEASE BRING STIMS I learned this the hard way by losing my hardcore medium world
Tanning effectiveness, account of food required and timing is off. X2 official 1.8% per spoiled meat every 16 seconds and efficiency was down to 64%. 150 went to 197
They often come in packs so be prepared
Remember, it's tamed non-violently, knocking it out is useless (you need bug repellent or it will attack)
Take caution when in any cave or underground. The Araneo can climb walls and drop from the ceiling without warning. Their torpor inducing bite and slowing webs can put you in a helpless situation. Also keep in mind they tend to stay in groups. If you see one there is likely two or more somewhere nearby. I strong suggest and weapon with a flashlight attachment. A pump shotgun being my prefered caving weapon.
A easy way to tame it is just by getting a flyer and picking it up and put in water because it has to swim out before getting aggravated
Its taking double the amount of spoiled meat then it says it requires.
