ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These guys can destroy your armor and weapons, so it's best to let your tames kill them. They can and will destroy your gas masks and hazmat suits regardless if it is vanilla gear or leathal's reusables mod gear. They become a lot more troublesome for player exploration in Aberration as they are frequently found in the blue and red zones. Taller dinos are more likely to keep you from being hit.

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.
