Encountering Tips
How do I kill a arthropluera? arthropluera battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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.
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.
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
He attac
But most importantly he says good bye to your flak
If you ever find it do not try to melee it to death
Just use a ranged weapon as it's much easier and won't eat through your armour
These are the only creature you have to worry about
Other than that everything can be meleed with ease
Just bring some stim berries and water
How to always win against arthropluera
dont go in caves
Only true ark players understand how scary these guys are.
r.i.p. ascended riot gear.😭😭😭
I was wearing full metal armor in a cave then this came out of nowhere and spit at me and one shotted me.if you see one,RUN FOR YOU’RE DEAR SWEET LIFE!!!!!!!
In order to escape this creature you must get the hell out of the cave
They actually can fit though doors learned that the hard way.
There’s nothing better than spitting acid on a creature’s face without them even knowing
Attacking them makes you loose heath as well as them
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.
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.
I must say that these centipede are born with something like acid in their body keep in mind that their acid is really strong to make it easy to understand their acid could damage every substance from thatch to tek, yes even tek so...ya might lose your amour if you keep encountering them. They got two moves, first is splitting their acid at the enemy doesn't care of far or close, second is a simple bite but of course with this guy their bite is much more big deal due to their acid. And for some people that might not know THEY COULD REFLECT CLOSE-COMBAT(Melee weapon) DAMAGE which mean they will reflect the damage that other creatures deal to them for example let say you hit them with a 300 damage sword boom ya health also decrease 300hp, keep in mind that it also work like this for your dinos *those who all in damage stat careful cuz you might one shot yourself 🥲 but there is a way to avoid this is by using ranged weapons like bows and guns it simply mean as long as you don't touch them you won't get reflect
Don’t use your ascendant 500 damage sword you got from that terror bird pursuit on them… I learned that the hard way.
By the way, they are on mobile, unfortunately
Does anybody know where to find these on ark mobile i would like one for protection when scouting and i havent found any yet.
They’re found in the cave where you get the artifact of the hunter
