ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
DO NOT ENGAGE OR YOU WILL DIE! I was hunting araneos when this thing came out of nowhere and three shot me! All my dimorphs were literally devoured when I came back. It is like centipedes in real life but instead of killing you slowly with poison it kills you with bites quickly. Do not equip anything lower than Chitin or you will get one shot.
If you ever find it do not try to melee it to death
Just use a ranged weapon as it's much easier and won't eat through your armour
These are the only creature you have to worry about
Other than that everything can be meleed with ease
Just bring some stim berries and water
Be mindful that arthro spit can break or severely damage even high-quality armor in a single hit. This is most notably a problem in swamp cave since if your gas mask or scuba breaks you will start taking poison gas damage. Stay safe in caves and bring some backup armor.
They CANNOT attack you while in the water!!!
Taming an Arthropleura is really simple
Note: there's always a risk of losing your genitals so be careful when taming
Step 1: Spoil meat. Because nobody will waste broth of enlightenment
Step 2: make bug repellent. Ghillie Armor isn't necessary, the bugs pretend you have ghillie
Step 3: Carefully approach Satan (he won't notice you)
Step 4: feed him spoiled meat
Step 5: cyropod it and get the hell out of there as soon as possible because you don't have the saddle.
Step 6: make a saddle
Step 7: realise it can't climb anything on mobile
Step 8: Get Depressed
Step 9: Realise nothing agroes it and that you can easily just speedrun caves
Step 10: Ascendant Long neck.
Stay TF back. Bug repellant and ghillie seems like your best option. Also, a longbow and a lot of distance. If it spots you, duck and weave MF, duck and weave!
He protec
He attac
But most importantly he says good bye to your flak
PICK IT UP WITH A MEGALOSAURUS AND TAME IT FROM THERE IT IS !) TIMES EASIER AS NO CAVE ANIMALS ATTACK IT!!!!!!
Why must the most scariest and violent things be tamed passively?
His eyes kinda looks like glasses
Easiest and safest way to tame this is to lure it under water. They stop aggro and you can tame as you please. Just make sure you come up for air every once in a while. Also be sure the water is deep enough.
They can be found in genesis in the magmasaur cave. Make the button green so the app creators can see
If you use a crab an grab them, just put them underwater an they wont agro you, boom easy tame
reasons why YOU should tame an arthro
#1 these guys hit like a TANK
Not only do they have good melee (if u level it to have good melee) but they deal torpor which is great for taming in my opinion.
#2 they can destroy tek metal and wood structures
I play on a VERY wealthy server so metal bases are not rare at all but I haven’t seen much tek yet my arthro is very useful especially when raiding. You can easily get into and base (but thatch) useing this tame.
#3 other animals don’t attack it
If you are riding an arthro you will not be attacked by any wild animals great for running strong cave. And animals will not attack an arthro back if it attacks a wild animal.
#4 the arthro spits acid
The arthro has a turrent mode which allows it to shoot acid at enemy tames players and wild animals this ability makes it good for sitting on a rock and firing downward at your target like a poisonous Erie turrent.
We’ll hope this helps people im making more on other helpful tames -swiftwind9105
Don't wear any armor when around the arthropleura, because it melts any armor
