Run before your armor goes poof

great creature to tame for big caves. nothing will attack you when you are on this creature. its just kinda hard to tame. but still its very handy to have!

How can this little centipede break tek but a giga can’t,

THIS MAKES NO SENSE.

i tamed one and they are great. but yo have too tame one inside the cave. otherwise it wont do its job. now: you can attack any dino in ark and non of them will attack you while your riding it. and its easy tame. just buff and mask. boom

Level weight because this has the poorest weight of any creature i have seen

Me and my barry were caving in clever cave peacefully and we beat it easily at first but the 2nd damn. First we got attacked by onyc scorpions and araneo. Nothing much and when we were getting close to the artifact a weird rock was in the middle of the path. But when i saw the name of it i attacked it obviously i killed it and got the artifact but. Right before i was close to leaving an arthro and a lvl 100 megalosaur attacked me the arthro dealt so much torpor to my barry it neary fainted its because of the araneos webs nearly died. The thing is arthros have good sensing abilities they saw me so quickly and they have decent health pool.

So when taming use bug repellent and sneak behind it to feed raw meat or do it on scorpion

To the person wondering where they spawn.

Usually they spawn in caves in pairs

By far the best place to look for them is in hunter cave

On mobile, you can most commonly find these guys in the center cave near the volcano, but they will also sometimes spawn in the south cave. I’ve never seen them in any other cave.

Use bug repellant so it wont agro

Tip for fighting they take double damage from rifle shots compared to everything else

These bad bois are strong in caves especially the spit attack it takes out the armor fast so be sure to try and kill them first

Ghilli and bug spray works a treat. Just don it all and run into the caves screaming.

Place it in a 2x1x3 with an argent and tame without any problem

Should i use broth of elighmennt on this thing? cuz it takes 5 spoil meat after 10× soothing balm and I won't be alive after feeding it 1 spoil meat

These things melted my tek sword, literally 4 of them. Wtf.

If you wish to tame an unrecognized godsend for mobile players, you’ll want the right resources.

1 - Broth of Enlightenment

To make, you will need:

5 Wooly rhino horns - obtained just by killing them and looting (its a special drop, so it should be put into a creatures inventory if ‘loot creatures’ is on.

2 of each crop - that’s two rockarrots, citronal, savroot and longrass (you will need to farm for all of these except rockarrots (if you wish) as rockarrots can be rarely obtained from jungle ferns.

A black pearl - possibly the hardest of these to get, but otters can make it easier, fishing can get you some and mobile gets free gifts which have a random chance to give you 15 (I believe) and remember, you only need one

10 mejoberries - essential for kibbles, Rockwell recipes, basically anything made through cooking

REMEMBER - YOU MAY NEED MORE THAN ONE BROTH TO TAME AN ARTHROPLEURA - the only alternatives are raw and spoiled meat and these are the ONLY alternatives - nothing else works

Water - water skin, water jar, canteen - it doesn’t matter as long as it has enough water in it

It spoils in 5 REAL hours, and if consumed gives 50% more xp for 20 minutes which is good for alphas.

When approaching, have full ghille and bug repellant - their acid spit tears through any armor and their bite is able to damage ANY STRUCTURE including tek.

Have the Broth or alternatives in your hotbar and approach carefully - be wary of other creatures. Passive feed it until tamed.

Once tamed it has the regular uses - being a mount, terrorizing the local creature population, going places like people would do - but it has some REALLY useful uses.

1. Raids in multiplayer - with the bite damaging everywhere, nothing is safe once one is tamed

2. Mobile players saviour - it is never targeted by wild creatures including cave creatures. The Artifact of the Strong is guarded by tons of high level creatures including the Yeti which is exclusively able to go above level caps - see where this is going? Yes, the Arthropleura is practically the only way to get through the cave if you play mobile. This use is applicable for other caves, but is most prominent for the Artifact of the Strong.

Players not on mobile - I know that you can take larger creatures in but listen - WE CANNOT DO THAT ON MOBILE, WE HAVE AN EXTREMELY SMALL BARRIER NEAR THE ENTRANCE OF THE CAVE.

Another thing is that this aforementioned barrier can be barely passed by the Arthropleura on the left of the barrier entering the cave.

Good luck in raiding, taming and artifact cheating.

Small note - the acid spit destroys armor.

Use tall walls and 1 foundation and make a trap and then put ramps leading up to it or you could just use a argy to pick it up and drop it in

There only ignored in caves on mobile…

Yea

You can lure it to water and stay below and bam
