Lemme tell y’all how to kill or tame this bad boi. If you wanna kill, aim for it’s face. Only use longnecks or high quality sniper rifles to kill. Use spyglasses to check the level. They will also(once they spot you) follow you everywhere while spitting some of its blood at regular intervals. Beelzebufos and ascendant hide armour( easily repairable) can help you evade the spits. If it follows you in the water(mostly inside the middle chamber or the the cave in the south), it can be tamed. No need for ghillie or repellant, just let it follow you in water, it will lose aggro to everything, including your frog, as long as you are submerged. Weakness is guns, or explosives, (3x + 4.5x[headshot multiplier] gun damage and a 5x multiplier for explosives). Use spoiled meat if you don’t have the resources for the broth of enlightenment. Up this if you found helpful. :)
More Arthropluera Encountering Tips
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.
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
They CANNOT attack you while in the water!!!
Annoying in cave so if you want to survive certain caves, just turn Dino damage to zero so you can actually collect stuff in there otherwise three shot you’re done
How to always win against arthropluera
dont go in caves
Hitting them with melee is foolish, you waste your weapon's durability. Ranged attacks deal a lot of damage to them
Never use melee weapons against them because arthropleuras reflect some of the damage dealt back onto you and your armor and also massively damage your weapon's durability
Always use firearms against them because arthropleuras take 3x damage against them and projectiles and also have a 2.5x headshot multiplier so hitting a headshot will massively damage them
Do not engage,it has speeding acid that can shred through armor,tek structures,and you,if you hit them,you'll either die or break your harvesting tool,I learnt this the hard way on scorched with a level 145 direwolf,it died.
They actually can fit though doors learned that the hard way.
