Encountering Tips

How do I kill a arthropluera? arthropluera battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Short story, I was entering the central cave to find one of these bad boys, and brought along my Dire wolf and purlovia, since i heard they were strong and hard tames. lo and behold I find one, level 39 and I began taming. All was well until it attacked and tragically everything went south and my tames killed it
And every other one I found.
These creepy crawlies wrecked my flak armor. Got swarmed by 3 of them luckily i brought my sabertooth along otherwise i would end up running naked again.
CAN BE FOUND IN CAVES THIS THING WILL MELT AMOR IF NOT MASTER CRAFT OR JOURNEYMAN AMOR FLAK OR RIOT BRING BUG REPELLANT BRING A GOOD PUMP SHOTGUN AND HEALTH BREWS
Even riot armour was destroyed in a instant so use something alot less expensive
Ever since the Nov 7th update, You can breed arthros. If you can get a 100% imprint artho and dump points into melee, u can probably 2 tap metal walls
I was in the hunter cave hunting spiders with my pump shot gun I didn’t expect a arthropluera cus there rare there so I went in the next room and I freaked out cause there creepy!!! So killed it with my gun and the other creeps I’m kinda disappointed I cus I didn’t tame it cus I didn’t have any of the resources to
Me going in to the cave with flak gear:
Me coming out of the cave with all my armor and weapons broken:
When using a dino's attack it seems to also apply damage even if it doesnt actually attack you. Use distance weapons
Y’know, all I can say is stay away from these things, they are terrifying. And they will kill you if you anger them, without hesitation. Took out my pteradon and trike after it killed me.
NEVER go into a cave without a level 300 or more good mount or else this long boi will kill you in 0.12 second or just use an armor if you dare...
If on boosted public server run don’t stop running it shoots acid that breaks Armor even tek. If you hit it with a sword it also breaks the sword. These thing need to die.
Ok u gotta stay away from these things because a had riot armour and these things 1 shot ME! Seriously these things are dangerous.
Why do these things not spawn in swamps? They should spawn in swamps!
I think they are found in Hunter (random guesses at this point) devourer pack and random other caves with artifacts
They can 360 and melt any armor. Also, they damage tek. They despawn when you lure them out of caves too.
They are dangerous in groups. Take them out from afar or use a shotgun to deal with them. They spit acid and do a lot of durability damage too tools, armor, and melee weapons.

DONOT I REPEAT, donot hit these thing will any of your melee weapons for they will cripple its durability! A lvl 45 halved my ascendant sword durability by a single hit!
*long sigh* I had had I Mastercraft sword before I went in the cave,I had underwear and no weapons when I came out..
There's a blue one and a green one in the hunter cave in ark mobile due to my game play every time they were blue and a green one
