Encountering Tips

How do I kill a arthropluera? arthropluera battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Please bring full cloth armor when entering caves!
They have a serious armor damage buff!
Those who say it's very dangerous are crazy. Just bring a long neck rifle, one shot or two and boom. The first time I entered the South Cave, I tamed an scorpion and it significantly helped me to take care of the Arhtros and Boas.
Most of the creatures have arrows in their loots, so if u prefer a ballesta to deal with these bad boys, you are not running out of ammo any soon.
One of the best weapons to kill it is a ascendant pump shot gun
Range weapons do more damage to the Arturo for etc:Guns,bows
It’s armor is tough meaning if u attack it with a meelee weapon it will break easier.
With a full riot mastercraft armour he managed to get my health to half before I could kill it and I have 444 health
Rrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnn
Tip for killing these things without breaking your armor and sword:
-use your BOW, aim at its HEAD because it's exposed and it's the weak spot, it sure works because it's a feature.
Jusy keep a distance, if you hit it with a melee weapon it's thick armor will just break or damage it pretty badly, also your armor when it bites you
When you enter a cave use bug repellent on you and your dino and only thing that attacks are the scorpions and the titanboa
When it spits all armor brakes even tek armor
Probably a good idea to apply the same rule for fighting Onycs, that is, avoid melee. Their acid can hit you on smaller mounts you would usually bring in caves. They can be hard to spot in water and against uneven cave walls, but their oil-puddle-like iridescence can give them away if you look hard enough.
You see it run the other way. It will melt anything and everything.
Desmodus can pick these things up. And they can't spit on your armor while picked up. It's useful for moving them to a spot you can tame them easier.
If you ever find it do not try to melee it to death
Just use a ranged weapon as it's much easier and won't eat through your armour
These are the only creature you have to worry about
Other than that everything can be meleed with ease
Just bring some stim berries and water
Do not tame multiple at once
Choose the highest level one
If you tame multiple at the same time they will agro at the one you tamed
You don't have the time to cryopod it
When you ride it on mobile it makes a horrible noise. (In my opinion.)
Do not enter the caves where these idiots live and if you do just run like hell until you get out of the cave
People always bring their best set of armor into the caves "just in case" don't do that, DON'T, do that.
Screw you ark for adding these pieces of crap
These guys are annoying! I would recommend a pump action shotgun to kill these busters. To tame any old crosse bow or long neck with their knockout ammo is good enough, these fellas are found in caves. They are very strong. Their breath attack can destroy Tek!
These are a good tame for raids, after you soak the turrets, use these to break the walls or use c4, or both!
I can kill these with a saver tooth or wolf so it’s easy in a cave
