What are tips for arthropluera? Tips and strategies for arthropluera in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Bring extra armour or a tame as it can one shot your armour with its spit
Very strong. It can damage everything, even tek. It can damage everything, like a titanosaur. Very strange. Stay away if you want to live.
Don't let people fool you get a high level wolf/saber with health and melee boosted and these guys get melted
To the cave of the strong person, just get a otter, lvl up melee damage, and you are heated. (Otters keep you warm, more with melee damage)
The easiest way by far is to pick it with an argy, wyv, or quetzal and drop it into a 1x2 that’s 2 walls high. It won’t move/aggro and it will poke through the wall allowing you to feed it.
If you go into a cave with these do not bring your best armor unless it is very easy to repair forgot and had to kill hundreds of penguins for pollimer wasted a whole day of ark.
You find it and then realise your dead 💀
The guy who thinks his cool because he can destroy tek
Don’t melee an Arthropluera. Your weapon will break very fast. Use a tame or ranged weapon to kill safely.
Useful tip: drop them in deepish water and feed them. Their is no need for bug repellent. Make sure the water is deep enough so it floats.
don’t melee this, use a longneck and aim for its face (3x more damage). The reason they do so much damage is because whenever it’s touched (including grazing it slightly and hitting it with a sword) it does insane damage. died in 3 hits to this guy with 5k total armor and 300 hp.
You can easily tame one on foot without Ghillie or bug repellant. You just need to kill everything else then back away till the music stops! If it’s in a good position behind a wall or around a corner you can creep up to it! Might take a few tries but I’ve done it several time hugging the cave wall peeking around the corner at its face! Actually very easy to tame.
Use a tribemate as a shield for protection from spitballs
timer for TOPOR 3 seconds so RTF AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND WHILE YOU STILL LAST
