What is a araneo used for? araneo battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I Think the best way to use this ugly mofo is to have like 3-5 on aggressive outside of your base and 3-5 inside of your base. The ones outside I like to put stone in there inv so they can't move but act as turrets instead and my other dinos would obliterate anyone on the outside, and the ones inside would protect yur base from intruders. Probably best to have 5 spiders w/ 2-4 troodons inside to make sure nobody is left alive >:)
My only survivor that had one of these got corrupted so I may not be right, but I'm pretty sure these things are decently fast, and even if not they have the slowing webs ability, so if you have something you need to tame or get away from, web, these guys do need TLC, but these guys are underrated
If you tame it inside a cave (warning this will not work if you revive and tame or chronicle it!!!!) agressive creatures will not attack you even if you just walk right up to them BUT if you shoot another cave creature from thezt back of your araneo they WILL attack you
I was riding my araneo and i bit another araneo and it ignored me. Then without dismounting i shot at it and it realized i was there even if i was on the back of my own araneo. Same works for the other cave creatures as long as theyre tamed in the cave. Hope this helped
Thes are amazing caving Dino’s and also never get scene bye bats scorpions or Evan spiders or anything in a cave it’s so helpful to tame one and easy as long as u have bug repel and and spoiled meat I love it bc it allowes me no bloodshed in a cave and I can sneak bye any of Dino’s any time I want you neeed to tame one for yourself
Overall just a bad designed creature.
Maybe, the devs could add the ability to set up some sort of trap by making a spider web between two trees or something and you could check it once in a while and see if anything ran in.
Also, they should be able to climb walls and ceilings like the Megalania as they are spiders.
WHEN I WENT INTO A CAVE TO TAME A ONYX I LOOKED AND IT SAID I HAD TO BE LVL 65!!!!!!! Bro 65 MAN and I was like sh*t so I came back later put on bug spray found. A spider and I tamed it so I tell you if you ride these puppies around KILL BRONTOSAURUS WITH THEM yea that’s right Brontosaurus THEY DONT AGGRO ON YOU OR ATTACK YOU RAPTORS TOO ITS AWESOME!!! Tame one I tell you tame one. HELP OTHERS SEE IT TOO
This thing needs a higher damage to torpor rating. You’d sooner kill something with it by a stretch before it knocks them unconscious.
That includes its webbing which can also kill a fleeing target too if you’re trying just to slow it down.
Could use a TLC patch for something beyond a slowing turret admittedly.
