What are tips for arthropluera? Tips and strategies for arthropluera in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Dodo is wrong about amount of tranq arrows needed (crossbow). Lvl.19 arthro, it states 1 headshot or 3 hits. It took me about 15 and it died, thankfully. Boy did I freak out after the fifth arrow... I was running naked in the woods
Step 1: tame baryonyx
Step 2: Win
I revived mine at an obelisk and they are pretty scary to tame tbh. Had to bring 2 bug repellants one for my argy that i left behind a rock in case i aggroed the arthro and had to run. Idk about it in caves but if revived they will move around unpredictably while taming. Approach it from the side to feed it, its feeding hitbox only works on its upper half so you cant feed it from the tail but going for the head is also pretty bad because when it moves again its probably going to touch you and start attacking
What you need: Spoiled Meat/Broth, Cryopod.
Go to the bottom of the lake in the south cave and they will be down there. They don’t move or attack when in the water. Feed it and cryo it and run like hell outta there.
Guess what! In real life, the arthropleura was a docile herbivore that would only attack if provoked!
Ark Devs: Let’s make it into an aggressive death monster that can destroy any structure you build or armor you make.
Me: Very logical
Ranged attacks will be your best friends. All of this creatures attacks shred armor durability. Attacking it with melee will also destroy your weapons durability as well as damage you. It's like stabbing a corrosive spike wall. If you are using a tame make sure it has high health or a way to heal quickly.
The easiest way to tame it is using Pulmonoscorpius!
Use a saddle on your magnificent Pulmonoscorpius, go to the cave with a number of spoiled meat and go near it. Feed it on scorpion back and boom now you have your god damn killing machine
Grab it with wyvern and throw it in Water, easy tame
These are rlly easy to tame, all you have to do is give it a soothing balm rooten meat or broth of envriment (idk how to spell that) raw meat also works.
They are also good in caves everithing will ignore u even if u Touch it.
These things are the reason why you can't use a tek suit on aberation
I found out why this mofo breaks my damn armor in no time!
If you hit any Arthro by melee it will return 50% of the damage you dealt to him which is the reason why players get destroyed in one or two hits along with armor your high damage melee weapon can kill you(maybe in just one hit if you wep damage is higher than your health) in a fight against an arthropleura so that’s the reason why it is recommended to fight with your strongest ranged weapon
