What are tips for arthropluera? Tips and strategies for arthropluera in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you ever find it do not try to melee it to death
Just use a ranged weapon as it's much easier and won't eat through your armour
These are the only creature you have to worry about
Other than that everything can be meleed with ease
Just bring some stim berries and water
the saddle may be a bit pricy early on but this creature is literally game-breaking. tame a scorpion, collect a lot of meat and wait for it to spoil, find a nice-looking high-level danger noodle and tame it while mounted in your scorpion (I recommend doing this whole process on the south cave, it's easier to navigate and to find the arthroplueras. taming the scorpion is a lot easier too, unless you get a bad layout). skidaddle your way to the cave of the strong after obtaining a fur set/resistance buff and literally farm the artifact with your arthropluera. it's not a fast mount so don't expect it to speedrun the cave, but it's the only way to cheese your way through the hardest cave in the game. the payoff is definitely worth it.
To easy tame a group of 135+ the center underworld is great. Drop them in water to easy tame, they wont aggro you if they are unable to stand. Swim up, feed, wait.
These guys are annoying! I would recommend a pump action shotgun to kill these busters. To tame any old crosse bow or long neck with their knockout ammo is good enough, these fellas are found in caves. They are very strong. Their breath attack can destroy Tek!
These are a good tame for raids, after you soak the turrets, use these to break the walls or use c4, or both!
Put it under the water and boom you got it just feed it
I use araneo to ta it: sneak to artho and feed them and it's tamed
Can deflect and meele attack op AF
Do not enter the caves where these idiots live and if you do just run like hell until you get out of the cave
Screw you ark for adding these pieces of crap
Water calms them if you make a 3x3x3 tall in shallow water drop it in with wyv passive tame with spoiler meat tames very quickly and decent lvl ones
I can kill these with a saver tooth or wolf so it’s easy in a cave
In the south cave there is water lure them to it and use spoiled meat to tame them in water they will stop attacking you and just chill use a 10x balm on a 150 its like a 2 minute tame they also don't have oxygen so it's easy

These guys will break your armour very quickly, so when going in a cave, make sure you enter on a mount (if you can) and wear hide armour. Then, bring some fiber with you. You will be able to get hide in the cave, so when these guys break your armour, you can repair it quickly.
