Encountering Tips
How do I kill a arthropluera? arthropluera battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I encountered one in the south cave,I saw 2 of these fast creeps.I thought my tamed raptor could not kill 2.So I ran to a safer place and going to prepare for attack.
timer for TOPOR 3 seconds so RTF AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND WHILE YOU STILL LAST
I found out why this mofo breaks my damn armor in no time!
If you hit any Arthro by melee it will return 50% of the damage you dealt to him which is the reason why players get destroyed in one or two hits along with armor your high damage melee weapon can kill you(maybe in just one hit if you wep damage is higher than your health) in a fight against an arthropleura so that’s the reason why it is recommended to fight with your strongest ranged weapon
How can this little centipede break tek but a giga can’t,
THIS MAKES NO SENSE.
Beware of the giant acid spitting spider-snake, it spits acid, obviously. ALWAYS bring extra armor when fighting it.
Tips for newbies: 1.Do not wear any armor when riding a dino if you want to farm chitin or when you want to go into a small cave full of these. 2.When caving, try your best to avoid any arthroplueras on your way. 3.I don't recommend killing these with a low level raptor because it can absolutely destroy your tames and you too if you're not careful. If you want to farm chitin, just kill dung beetles, spiders or pulmonscorpiuses because they don't give much chitin unless you have a sabertooth or any other good chitin harvesting tames. Goodluck caving ma guy :D
Don't let people fool you get a high level wolf/saber with health and melee boosted and these guys get melted
At first I was questioning why my armor and best melee Weapon was breaking so fast after I got out of the cave; then I realized on my next time I went IT WAS THESE DUMB THINGS, oml, I recommend to not go near it or just shoot it from afar a these things. I usually just walk away if I see one
Step 1: tame baryonyx
Step 2: Win
Picking it up with an argy and attacking it hurts the argy.
Shotgun is the best cure as always, this creature tales more damage from firearms (Guns) than anything else. - The Nameless Tuso
Guess what! In real life, the arthropleura was a docile herbivore that would only attack if provoked!
Ark Devs: Let’s make it into an aggressive death monster that can destroy any structure you build or armor you make.
Me: Very logical
Apparently these things are very dangerous. My therinzino disagrees. Carry a theri on you to protect yourself and he’ll slash it up like nothing.
I TRIED TAMING IT! I lured three into the water so I can choose which I'll be taming together with Araneos and Scorpions but,NOOOO! IT STARTS SPITTIN' AT ME LIKE CRAZY EVEN IF I'M UNDERWATER WITH MY SABER! It destroyed my chitin armor with two shots and I literally screamed while dodging its spit attacks! In the end, I killed 'em all! *sniffs*
watch out with this mf's spit, literally melts armours
With a full riot mastercraft armour he managed to get my health to half before I could kill it and I have 444 health
If you have to kill them on fjordur just turn on life steal with your desmodus and pick them up. You won’t take recoil damage but it will take a while so you might want to speed it up a bit by attacking.
Not sure yet, but I do believe these also reflect a percentage of damage back at attacker like the kentrosaurus
How can this thing do recoil damage? Does it cover itself with its acid or something?
Run before your armor goes poof
