Pick it up with a wyvern drop it in the water it becomes passive

Tame these while riding a scorpion! Nothing will aggro unless you attack. Tame with rotten meat in your hotbar so u don’t have to dismount. Works for Dung Beetles/Centipedes/Spiders. Walk in, choose level, tame passively, walk out and request to the surface 👍 good luck

Argy can pick them up. Drop them in to water, and they wont attack.

⚠️IMPORTANT TIP⚠️ Ones that are tamed out of the cave are not ignored by creatures in caves and you have to tame it inside the cave.

If you are going to use these as turrets around the outside of your base, make sure that you have the weight around 500 and over encumber them. When people use these in this manner all we do is pick them up with an argy and fly them away. Sence they are on turret mode they won't move once flown away. Just a helpful tip.

When it says non-violent. It means you’re not to use violence when taming. Feeding it isn’t violent. It murdering your face when you do so is a horse of a different color.

they CANNOT attack you while in the water!

Tip for anyone who thinks these fart wads are easy to tame: they aren't. Before you can even think about going down a cave to tame one, you need at least one Broth of Enlightenment, which you cannot feed to them until they de aggro, which means you also need Bug Repellent. A ghillie suit is recommended but not mandatory. If you wanna try stealing one with a megalosaurus to tame elsewhere, fat chance. The game tends to despawn the arthro the moment you exit the cave. Be prepared, thats all I'm gonna say.

if anyone said this sorry but in the primitive days arthroplueras were actually an herbivore but it used its height to tower above the enemies to scare them

Guys be fast and quick like James Bond BRO get spoiled meat (like another guy said who would waste the broth bro) then consume bug repellent

Not exactly the best combat mount, slow, stamina isn't the best, a little squishy. But a few high levels of these on base defence are pretty good. Put a few in the inner parts of your base (along with the spiders to slow them down) and the will have your enemies armour being melted in seconds!

Why is this thing passive tame I do not want it to be awake when I tame it

The only nerf they got is their damn weight.

This is my attempt to bring together all the tips that worked for me and explain how things went for me playing on an official pve server on The Center map, and specifically the volcano cave. You can’t be mounted to get into the opening to the entrance tunnel of the cave, and then again at the end of the tunnel as you enter the actual cave. You can’t build in here, but you can place sleeping bags.

Don’t be lazy - make broth of enlightenment. Kill woolly rhinos for their horns and the broth is easy. Your entire goal during taming is to minimize the number of contacts with the arthro. During the winter event in 2022 with 3x taming, a single broth of enlightenment will tame a 150 arthro. My advice: make and bring more than one broth - the chances of encountering multiple high levels worth taming are pretty high. You may as well make the trip worthwhile.

Next, Don’t be lazy - have plenty of bug repellent and the best set of ghillie you can get together. I go ahead and use both during the whole trip (except a max armor ascendant flak helmet), because bug repellent doesn’t work on titanboas, etc., that are likely to be present in the same places as the arthros. Plan for disaster and come prepared for that.

It is absolutely true that theris do not aggro the cave dinos **while you are riding it** so bring one if you’ve got it. Just remember that once you dismount, things can change in a hurry, especially if you aren’t using bug repellent and ghillie, or if you just didn’t see a boa or something. By comparison, a shadowmane aggros everything. Personally, I bring a few standards with me in cryos, including a theri and a megatherium. If push comes to shove and you have to start killing everything that moves, you are literally in the megatherium’s wheelhouse. It’ll be enraged the entire time (and slot cap with chitin if you need it). I also bring a shadowmane for the water, but you’ll be fine without it.

The arthros won’t aggro while your theri kills other stuff right by it (except another arthro), just as long as nothing hits the arthro. So try to clear everything else that is anywhere close to your arthro without hitting it. One time there were two arthros right next to each other, one a 150 and the other a 55, and I couldn’t kill the 55 without drawing aggro from the 150. So I tamed the 150, and the 55 immediately aggro’d the now tamed 224 arthro and then managed to hit me before the 224 killed it. But that bite hurts.

Finally, I suggest you have a plan for what you’ll do if you die in a big nasty snake and bug pile, where all your stuff will be. One time, there were so many araneo shooting webs that Ark crashed, and I was dead when I logged back in - my tame was alive because it was on neutral, but it fell off a ledge and definitely didn’t kill everything that was by my bag. I also couldn’t whistle it back from where it was to the closest sleeping bag I dropped. I was able to run to my tame naked since we had cleared that route, but it was sketchy and not what I would ever want to do again. From then on, I had a box with a bed and a mortar&pestle as close to the cave entrance as I could safely place it. Before going in the cave, I would leave a few things in the mortar&pestle to use if I died / like a megatherium and a flyer in cryos, extra bug repellent, armor/weapons, whatever else you’d want to have on the way back to your bag. Use th flyer to get back to the cave entrance, then ride the mega or whatever beast tame you bring until you get back to your bag. It maybe takes an extra couple minutes, but if you try to just spawn in on sleeping bags in the cave without any gear or tames waiting for you, there’s a good chance you’ll just end up getting killed over and over again as you struggle to get your stuff back.

I hope this narrative proves helpful - good luck!

FYI: They delete metal weapons durability way fast so go with a Long neck rifle and shoot from a distance, close combat with them in a tight spot equals death

If you need to tame one of these guys i advice u to tame a scorpion first , they will not attack you and you can feed them spoiled meat pecefuly

I just wore a Ghillie suit, consumed bug repellant and sneaked behind it. Totally works.

You may encounter this giant insect in cave, many people are scared just because it can one shot you even in full TEK suit, but don't get fooled by their looks and stats, they are slow and their attack recovery speed is lower than you, and they can shoot poisonous fluid from distance (super EZ to dodge) and their radar is short so best choice is...... You name it!!! A bow. Gauge them from distance and pow!!! Most of them are usually not that tough so good luck. (Don't fight them if other hostile are present around the area) don't mess up.

So, as far as I can tell, arthropluera deal more torpor damage for their melee stat than scorpions. I dont know if scorpions somehow scale better but this is what I have so far

My data so far:

Lvl 23 arthro - 202% melee ~ 170 torpor over a little under 10 seconds

Lvl 21 pulmino - 226% melee ~ 106 torpor over 10 seconds

Both were done in a single hit on a lvl 23 trike. Data is from mobile on easy

Easy tame!!!

1. Make some bug repellent

2. Get some Broth of Enlightenment

3. Go to Cave of Hunter and kill basically anything in the caves but leave the Arthro you wish to tame

4. Get some distance between you and the Arthro and take the bug repellent

5. Dismount your tame and walk up to it and give it the Broth of Enlightenment (took me only 1 with a 10x Soothing Balm to get a lvl 130)

6. Bam!!! You can run the Cave of the Strong and Immune without even being attacked

Hint: I did this on mobile so not sure if this method works for console and PC
