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.
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.
Don’t waste your flak. Use chitin armor when taming these guys.
If you're in early game and planning to run the south cave and snatch the hunter artifact, these things are the ones to worry about. They will absolutely obliterate your puny hide armor and even flak doesn't stand a chance and even worse, like every other cave dweller, they can knock you out. I play on mobile so if you play on PC, watch out for megalania (komodo dragons that give you covid and ambush you from the cave ceiling) i have a primitive shotgun and i mainly fight with my carno in the cave and i haven't tried fighting them with a carno but im pretty sure a strong carno or bary can take on an arthro. i took care of 2 arthros with a shotgun and a primitive shotgun deals 64×10 damage (640 damage total) and the shotgun is a double barrel so
640 × 2 = 1280 damage. so the shotgun is your best friend in the caves to deal with spiders, scorpions, and other cave dwellers. good luck stealing the artifact!
I would recommend trying to tame raptors because they fit into the cave and can protect from the bugs
Make sure ur armor is strong because this will destroy ur armor really quick
This thing annihilate armor so be careful
Instantly destroys ascendent flak. Warning, ya know?
Run from it! It will break armour and weapons insanely fast.
Attacking it will break your weapons
It’s attacks will break your armour
Just run
It broke my ascendant sword in a few hits
When the reaper queen impregnated you then burrows away you will find one of these behind you that will shoot you once and completely destroy your hazard Armour and kill you and your reaper.
Shoot it with arrows because it will destroy melee weapons!
arthro's stealth makes every creature ignores you even gigas but also remember that allo aggro on anything as they dont care bout you having stealth. allos goes brrr i hate them
I recommend using range weapons (guns crossbows, etc.) These guys WILL break your melee weapons if you hit it a decent amount of times
Me and my barry were caving in clever cave peacefully and we beat it easily at first but the 2nd damn. First we got attacked by onyc scorpions and araneo. Nothing much and when we were getting close to the artifact a weird rock was in the middle of the path. But when i saw the name of it i attacked it obviously i killed it and got the artifact but. Right before i was close to leaving an arthro and a lvl 100 megalosaur attacked me the arthro dealt so much torpor to my barry it neary fainted its because of the araneos webs nearly died. The thing is arthros have good sensing abilities they saw me so quickly and they have decent health pool.
Never try fight that thing with metal armor or metal stuff cuz he will eat the tool on ur hand and destroy ur armor and he have high damage try use armor with not made of metal
On mobile, you can most commonly find these guys in the center cave near the volcano, but they will also sometimes spawn in the south cave. I’ve never seen them in any other cave.
Tip for fighting they take double damage from rifle shots compared to everything else
These bad bois are strong in caves especially the spit attack it takes out the armor fast so be sure to try and kill them first
Net guns don't work. But still try it in God mod it's amazing lol
