Encountering Tips

How do I kill a arthropluera? arthropluera battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Tamable in the volcano biome of genesis
Attacking them makes you loose heath as well as them
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.
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?
(If you dont have good % ranged weapons or a megatherium) Your best option is another arthro or a araneo with the web shot, the webs ARE A NUKE for arthros bcuz the damage will multiply for EACH HIT , dealing loada of damage, and for the tamed arthro, JUST SPIT, it's like the tamed vs wils giga battle, but tou have the IQ , the saddle and the tame bônus stats, but you will suffer , specially tour flak, the best way tô have a easy time again'st It, is to avoid caves
Do NOT try to engage if ur a beginner. Found in caves, tame with spoiled meat.
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.
beware! arthropleuras have thorns X
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.
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
Arrows do an INCREDIBLE amount of damage, so use those instead of letting it destroy your melee weapons!!! 🗡🏹
They’re found in the cave where you get the artifact of the hunter
In order to escape this creature you must get the hell out of the cave
Lol the mr. wick and dog story got me. Anyways back to all seriousness unless u have armor and a sword or guns DO NOT ENGAGE. This beast will knock u out in like 1 bite and kills in like 3 or 4
This thing is stupidly overpowered it makes no sense 😡😱
Found in almost every caves except the underwater , Lava and Snow (they don't like extreme weather I guess) easiest taming methods lure it into water and let it sink to bottom, no oxygen stat so won't drown, go and feed it spoiled meat, tame it , put a saddle and get out :)
Be careful. Destroyed my asc flak in 2 hits.
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!!!!!!!
Run only will break any type of armor in one to two spits
