Encountering Tips

How do I kill a arthropluera? arthropluera battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To the cave of the strong person, just get a otter, lvl up melee damage, and you are heated. (Otters keep you warm, more with melee damage)
You find it and then realise your dead 💀
Don’t melee an Arthropluera. Your weapon will break very fast. Use a tame or ranged weapon to kill safely.
If you go into a cave with these do not bring your best armor unless it is very easy to repair forgot and had to kill hundreds of penguins for pollimer wasted a whole day of ark.
don’t melee this, use a longneck and aim for its face (3x more damage). The reason they do so much damage is because whenever it’s touched (including grazing it slightly and hitting it with a sword) it does insane damage. died in 3 hits to this guy with 5k total armor and 300 hp.
timer for TOPOR 3 seconds so RTF AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND WHILE YOU STILL LAST
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.
Don’t use your ascendant 500 damage sword you got from that terror bird pursuit on them… I learned that the hard way.
Picking it up with an argy and attacking it hurts the argy.
If you wack it with a melee weapon he will return the damage back to you,I got one-shot with my own sword,it takes more damage from range so bow,pistol,and the best one Shotgun
They aren't scary or hard to deal with when you get a good bow
This thing is stupidly overpowered it makes no sense 😡😱
It's so easy to kill them as long as you have a shotgun keep going back and aim to their head one shot is enough if you miss the second one will kill just keep your distance their bite is soooo strong
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
These have a ranged attack, so watch out!!
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 go into places infested with these it don’t matter how good your loot is they break your armor hella quick so beware
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*
These guys will spit on you and poison you so when spelunking watch out. When you get spat at, it breaks all armor below chitin. They are only found in caves
Step 1: tame baryonyx
Step 2: Win
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
