ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Probably a good idea to apply the same rule for fighting Onycs, that is, avoid melee. Their acid can hit you on smaller mounts you would usually bring in caves. They can be hard to spot in water and against uneven cave walls, but their oil-puddle-like iridescence can give them away if you look hard enough.
More Arthropluera Encountering Tips
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.
They CANNOT attack you while in the water!!!
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

But most importantly he says good bye to your flak
Attacking them makes you loose heath as well as them
Only true ark players understand how scary these guys are.

How to always win against arthropluera
dont go in caves
They actually can fit though doors learned that the hard way.
Thereβs nothing better than spitting acid on a creatureβs face without them even knowing
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.
