Tips & Strategies

I must say that these centipede are born with something like acid in their body keep in mind that their acid is really strong to make it easy to understand their acid could damage every substance from thatch to tek, yes even tek so...ya might lose your amour if you keep encountering them. They got two moves, first is splitting their acid at the enemy doesn't care of far or close, second is a simple bite but of course with this guy their bite is much more big deal due to their acid. And for some people that might not know THEY COULD REFLECT CLOSE-COMBAT(Melee weapon) DAMAGE which mean they will reflect the damage that other creatures deal to them for example let say you hit them with a 300 damage sword boom ya health also decrease 300hp, keep in mind that it also work like this for your dinos *those who all in damage stat careful cuz you might one shot yourself 🥲 but there is a way to avoid this is by using ranged weapons like bows and guns it simply mean as long as you don't touch them you won't get reflect

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!!!
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
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.
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.
How to always win against arthropluera

They actually can fit though doors learned that the hard way.
Only true ark players understand how scary these guys are.
