Tips & Strategies

What are tips for araneo? Tips and strategies for araneo in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
(ArkAscended, might work on evolved idk). If taming these in Lower South Cave you can aggro them from across the water and wait for them to start swimming across. Then jump over them into the water and they lose interest in you. They will try to swim back across and return to their original spot. You can then swim up under them and feed them without worrying about them attacking. Rinse and repeat. No bug repellant or Ghillie required! You’re welcome!
Giant spider don’t play dude. I got killed several times by one
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.
You will find them at the cave located at Lat 80 Long 52
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
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.
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
They often come in packs so be prepared
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
Remember, it's tamed non-violently, knocking it out is useless (you need bug repellent or it will attack)
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.
