Tips & Strategies

Like a real centipede this mirapod relies on the corrosive digestive enzymes it creates, and sprays upon a target, which is why it will destroy your armor and any structure. While these bugs would be easier to deal with on the surface, of course they only roam the caves where they can catch you in confined spaces making them hard to evade. They are not very fast, and they don't have very high health either. If you've got a bow you can kill it as long as you keep the distance. However if you have bug spray your invisible to them unless you make physical contact. In my opinion one of the best tames you can use for killing this has to be a pack of dimorphodons as they will swarm around the bug in and bite it till it dies, and by pack I mean 3 should do the job as these guys can't attack you nonstop like a raptor, but rather they rely on a bite and ranged attack that while being hefty in damage, won't exactly be fast enough to kill the flock of prehistoric parrots munching on the centipede. Also if your of a high enough level, remember explosives can solve almost all of your problems. When tamed this bug is more of a base raid tool then anything else and it needs an escort, for like I said earlier they are easy to kill on the surface, since their slow can only attack one thing at a time, has lower health, and it's long and wide body makes it easy to hit from above and at its sides. They must dwell inside the isolated caves for meditation an self reflection, because they crave the broth of enlightment, for some reason. Use bug spray, a ghilie suit, some rotten meat, and hope that nothing else will bother you to tame this thing that is only useful for pvp. This was mostly about killing them because they are functionally useless in pve and single player since their cool quirk is that they can destroy any structure tier.

Why must the most scariest and violent things be tamed passively?
PICK IT UP WITH A MEGALOSAURUS AND TAME IT FROM THERE IT IS !) TIMES EASIER AS NO CAVE ANIMALS ATTACK IT!!!!!!
Easiest and safest way to tame this is to lure it under water. They stop aggro and you can tame as you please. Just make sure you come up for air every once in a while. Also be sure the water is deep enough.
They can be found in genesis in the magmasaur cave. Make the button green so the app creators can see
If you use a crab an grab them, just put them underwater an they wont agro you, boom easy tame
Bye bye flak gear
Don't wear any armor when around the arthropleura, because it melts any armor
Full Ghillisuit, bug repellent, and balls of steel because these are scary to tame! They have the taming slot right behind their head about where the saddle would normally sit. Must approach from behind and only approach when feeding, stay away otherwise
