ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If you're in early game and planning to run the south cave and snatch the hunter artifact, these things are the ones to worry about. They will absolutely obliterate your puny hide armor and even flak doesn't stand a chance and even worse, like every other cave dweller, they can knock you out. I play on mobile so if you play on PC, watch out for megalania (komodo dragons that give you covid and ambush you from the cave ceiling) i have a primitive shotgun and i mainly fight with my carno in the cave and i haven't tried fighting them with a carno but im pretty sure a strong carno or bary can take on an arthro. i took care of 2 arthros with a shotgun and a primitive shotgun deals 64×10 damage (640 damage total) and the shotgun is a double barrel so
640 × 2 = 1280 damage. so the shotgun is your best friend in the caves to deal with spiders, scorpions, and other cave dwellers. good luck stealing the artifact!
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!!!
How to always win against arthropluera
dont go in caves
Only true ark players understand how scary these guys are.
r.i.p. ascended riot gear.😭😭😭
They actually can fit though doors learned that the hard way.
There’s nothing better than spitting acid on a creature’s face without them even knowing
FYI: They delete metal weapons durability way fast so go with a Long neck rifle and shoot from a distance, close combat with them in a tight spot equals death
Guys be fast and quick like James Bond BRO get spoiled meat (like another guy said who would waste the broth bro) then consume bug repellent
