Encountering Tips

How do I kill a arthropluera? arthropluera encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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!
Do not enter the caves where these idiots live and if you do just run like hell until you get out of the cave
Screw you ark for adding these pieces of crap
I can kill these with a saver tooth or wolf so it’s easy in a cave
These guys will break your armour very quickly, so when going in a cave, make sure you enter on a mount (if you can) and wear hide armour. Then, bring some fiber with you. You will be able to get hide in the cave, so when these guys break your armour, you can repair it quickly.
Stay away from them unless you are properly because the shred through any armour. It broke three of my ghillie pieces in literal seconds.
One of my friends ran into one of these in a cave with fully durability riot armor. It was gone in one hit...
Swap your armor with hise incase it's spit touches you. Stay back, don't fight up close, and dodge it's spit at ALL COSTS!
How do you tame this. I tried trapping it and making it passive by leading it into water but that did not work. Camouflage did not work either. Is this hard to tame or am I dumb? Btw, I play on mobile
Kills you slowly with poison and damage your armor too much.Dont use close range weapons like sword.
It’s good for raiding and is cool
If you find it in the cave and if you are using a bary then do it fight it using your bary use a shotgun to kill it faster or else they will knock your bary
These buggers were hard to kill but I found there easy to bomb put 1with 3 to 5 grenade and free chitin.
Don’t go near it it will kill you,especially if you’re lvl 1 and it’s a higher lvl,now they can literally DESTROY stone,metal and tek with its bite,Be more careful when you’re in the arthroplura’s habitat
Never. I repeat never use a melee weapon on this. It will just melt from the acid blood. You might aswell strip naked too when fighting them because even your flak can be melted by their acid in 1 hit.
Anyone know if you can breed these guys
Best armor to wear when fighting these mfs are the gen2 suit, since this suit doesn't have dura - which makes it unbreakable
Non-violent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW CAN THEY BREAK TEK???A GIGA CANT BREAK TEK
