Attacking them makes you loose heath as well as them

Raising/breeding baby phase they only eat spoiled meat juv and in they eat regular meat and spoiled meat.

On the artifact cave on the island near rock island. ( Artifact of the hunter) they spawn on land and in water. When they spawn in water you can go in the water and tame them they are passive in the water.

High level centipedes are very tanky when tamed due to the acidic blood. This means it is a great Dino to protect the base. Also the spit can harvest bodies and cut down trees from far away. Can use as a quetzal defense Dino. Just set to turret mode.

For people on mobile, it’s simple, first cave tame a areneo, if they are tamed in a cave, no cave creature will attack it, go to the central cave, ride your areneo and find these things, feed it spoiled meat until tamed, the best part is once you have a saddle for the arthropluera, nothing attacks you when your on its back, ((WARNING)) never get off the areneo’s back while taming, everything will attack you even when you go back on its back, I hope this helps you guys

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

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.

beware! arthropleuras have thorns X

Yes they still have stealth BUT if at any point they have ever died or been chronicalled, they will lose the stealth. You cannot revive tame, or they lose stealth.

Just bait it into the water and it will auto deaggro.

Let it sink to the bottom while you kill off the spiders and anything else attacking you.

Once all threats are clear swim down and take :)

Be extremely cautious when taming these guys can destroy all ur armor with one spit. I also don't suggest attacking them bc that will break ur weapons real fast. If u r in a cave either avoid it or dodge it's spit while shooting it. It is a passive tame that requires spoiled meat or broths of enlightenment. You need to use bug repellent when taming it and I suggest also wearing gillie for extra safeness. Once tamed they are best used as turrets bc they don't have great stats and they have a turret mode after all why not use it?

Killed the spider boss with this handy boys

If you plan on building in a cave, build at least 2 layers worth of walls of the material of your choice (the stronger the better). I built in a cave once, I logged in it was fine, I took my raptor out for some meat for my feeding troughs and when I got back, I saw one of these dudes eating my wall. My tames killed it but I had to fix that gap. So if you are planning on building in a cave. Have more than one wall dividing you and the killer centipedes. Or do the the therizinosuarus tips and do the bounce spike wall I mentioned. Never failed me.

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!

For those of you who play pve on official just heads up you will need to tame this guys old school since you can't pick them up with crab/megas, since you may not be able to get them to water so they stay still here's how you do it. Full ghillie and bug repellent make sure you aggro them then bring them to a spot away from other wild dinos (preferably with a drake) wait till deaggro follow them from their tail side don't get infront of their head wait till they stop moving they will stand still for a few seconds then in that instant run to them aim for their head and feed the broth of enlightenment make sure you spam triangle/E if you missed they will raise their heads and attack go away deaggro and try again I tamed 4 last night this way good luck!!

You And put it on aggressive, and it will become a living turret

I recently constructed a 1x8 pen with walls in ARK Ascended, and I found an effective way to tame an Arthro. I used my Argent 🦅 to transport it inside the pen. After placing it in the enclosure, I patiently waited, and the Arthro naturally turned about 90 degrees, which caused it to become stuck. This allowed me to easily tame it using spoiled meat from a spot near the back end of the Arthro, right along the edge of the wall. This method proved to be a straightforward approach, eliminating the need to create bug repellent or worry about potential attacks. Overall, it was a simple and effective trap design!

PSA (public service announcement) that arthros have NO WEIGHT, hear that? NO WEIGHT. But on mobile this is easily counter-balanced by making it the land Itchysaurus so that means cave creatures and literally anything else just don't care about you, even if u hit them lol

Remember these guys can melt through your armor! try to avoid fighting them one on one or attempt to shoot it from far away.

They take tripled damage from weapons like longnecks, don’t use melee or whatever ur using will get destroyed. Get out ur longneck and aim for its head, 1 or 2 shots should do it

Don't attack with sword or it broken soon
