Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a araneo? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a araneo.
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
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.
As of the tlc the araneo takes superior kibble and is a knockout tame
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!
It’s 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!
To tame these you will need bug repellent, as they aggro on you otherwise. Then, approach them carefully, making sure that you don’t get too close, or the will attack you. Feed spoiled meat for maximum taming speed. It is best if you find one that is alone. Thanks for reading
Bola it knock it out and feed it spoiled meat if its fails then its time TO RUN
To people saying knock it out. Its a passive tame. Dont waste your time
Make 1 foundation and put 8 walls on it making a 2 high box without a lid, drop the spider into this funnel like trap, when you see it's legs show through the trap from the outside look at them directly and you can feed it, you do not need bug repellent for this
To tame you need bug repellent and sneak up to it and shove rotten meat up it's butthole, same with arthropleura.
Shooting webs knockout Dino’s and you can tame!
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 ;)
Best way to tame an Araneo is to use bug repellent.
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.
Why passive??? Like seriously, why???
