What are tips for arthropluera? Tips and strategies for arthropluera in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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
Use a trap it will help tame it
Very helpful, for caves and kill whatever you want! Because nothing will attack you. I bite a pteradodon he make he animation (ready to fly) but he stay on place and look at me! Same for giga I throw my poison, he too make his animation, but him also make his animation but nothing happens!!! (but just don't stay too near him, if he attack anything and you are near you too will takes the damages because he have a huge hit box) 🔺for other people see this!
If you touch it while you have bug repellent it won't agro you
How to always win against arthropluera
dont go in caves
They can spawn alone or in packs of up to 2 and can only spawn in the lower south cave, central cave, upper south cave, and the swamp cave.
SUPER EASY TAMING!!!...Best place I've found to tame high level Arthropeluras is the cave of the Hunter on the Island, aprox lat 80, lon 53. I usually take a mate boosted pair of Baryonyx, find the large water holes, kill everything that attacks you using the Baryonyx tail whip attack (great for sarcos), once everything is dead look at the bottom of the water, usually there is 3-4 Arthropeluras laying still, THEY WON'T ATTACK YOU! proceed to feed rotten meat (I recommend broth of enlightenment), and enjoy your new demolition dino. PRO TIP: If you're looking for a level 150, kill everything in the cave, leave render, return and there should be fresh spawns. Rinse and repeat 😊 Happy Hunting - Sanch3z
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.
Why you should tame.
1.They are living cannons. They shoot their own blood which is acidic so
You can shoot enemies from faraway.
2. They have a venomous bite ( but only in Mobile)
3. Nothing will attack it. Even if you attack a creature it will not respond.
4. They are deadly. With all of this, it’s a dangerous creature that is great
when tamed.
These guys no longer have "invisible to wildlife" buff. In mobile ultimate edition, any creatures now will attack on sight. So if your purpose to tame this thing is for their invisible buff, just dont. It doesn't work anymore. This happens on ASE newest version on any platform (so far i test on mobile, pc, and PS). I have no idea if you talking about ASA, but it could be same too
