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

I know people are saying their arthros are getting aggroed on, but the no aggro only works if you tamed it IN a cave. Same with the scorpions. If you tame it outside of a cave, you’re still going to get attacked.

Single player uses:

1. Cave mount: They aren't powerhouses, but they can fit in small spaces and reflect damage back to their attacker.

2. Base defender, "Guard dog": They spit acid, you can have a bunch of them stationed on towers and set to aggressive turret mode.

Be mindful that arthro spit can break or severely damage even high-quality armor in a single hit. This is most notably a problem in swamp cave since if your gas mask or scuba breaks you will start taking poison gas damage. Stay safe in caves and bring some backup armor.

The only nerf they got is their damn weight.

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!

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.

If u see this mf JUST RUN RUN AND DONT LOOK BACK

This thing is stupidly overpowered it makes no sense 😡😱

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

All you have to do is tame a scorpion and ride up to an arthro on the scorpion and feed it spoiled meat. The arthro will not aggro on you while you are riding the scorpion. I did this on my mobile world so I can confirm that this works at least on mobile.

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

-Taming ARK Mobile-

*Note : If you kill Arthropluera, take its implant, and revive it back, it will not be immune to aggro, and you will be attacked by cave creatures. You must only tame it in the cave.

1. Wear ghillie suit(optional, but would be better if you have it), and use bug repellant.

2. Find your desired level of Arthropluera. Then kill all cave creature around it(spiders, scorpions, bats, snakes).

3. Walk up to the Arthropluera slowly and because you're on mobile, make sure not to accidentally punch it.

4. Put taming food(Broth of Enlightenment, Spoiled meat) in your quick inventory because this thing use non-violent tame method. When you see the prompt feed it until it is tamed.

5. Congratulations, now you got yourself an Arthropluera. Now you can explore swamp cave and yeti cave without the fear of getting attack by high level cave creature.

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

Breaks armor with spit passive tame don’t Agro and passive feed it use bug repellent gilli and prone to not agro

Attacking them makes you loose heath as well as them

How to tame

Step one : go into a cave

Step two : find one and lure it into the water( they can’t attack you while you’re in water)

Step three: feed it rotten meat

Step four: give it a name!

Hope this helps:)

Do not believe the comments saying Dino’s don’t aggro onto your tamed Arthro, that is a lie!(on ark:mobile)

By far the scariest insect to come across. But not like you may think! This is the arthopluera, a giant prehistoric centipede, that’s ready to make your life miserable. So let’s talk about them shall we? I’ll list what I’ll be talking about, then we can jump in! What’s they look like, How to tame them, what maps their on, and what they’re good for! Alright now let’s get started!

Appearance: Segmented plates that have a curved spike on both sides of each segment, about half the size of the player. And everything else is a cross between a millipede and a centipede.

Taming! Taming one is very simple, Grab spoiled meat, grab a flyer (or if you don’t have one bug spray) Pick up the arthro with a flyer, and drop it into a nearby body of water. Don’t worry, These creatures can’t drown, also putting it into the water seems to just blind it, making it passive unless it exits the water. While it’s in the water, feed it the spoiled meat until it tames. Whistle the arthro to follow you out of the water and boom, u got a arthro!

Maps: Extinction, The island, Scorched Earth, Crystal Isles, Ragnorak, Lost island. These maps I know have arthro.

This tame excels at Pvp, Almost being a pointless tame on pve due to its lack of weight, speed and attacks. Making this tame a must have war mount, why? Arthros have acidic blood, if somebody were to hit you with a melee weapon, it would break. This isn’t effective against ranged weapons as they take 15-25% more dmg from ranged weapons. However once this tame gets close to the enemy base it can just eat its way through. Tek base? Hardly think so, Metal superfortress? Not anymore. Simply get rid of the turrets, and the arthro can wreck the entire base. Chewing through vaults, walls, you name it it could destroy it. Is there a hard to reach exposed geny? Unfortunate. But never fear, the arthro doubles a catapult. Shooting it’s acidic blood like artillery!

Thx for reading! I’ll be working on tips for other pvp mounts!

Thanks to the Halloween event where these SOBs spawn anywhere they like near my base I've discovered they can slide under gates......you expect to be safe from land creatures, BUT NO. Current death count from unexpected attacks at 2.
