DO NOT ENGAGE OR YOU WILL DIE! I was hunting araneos when this thing came out of nowhere and three shot me! All my dimorphs were literally devoured when I came back. It is like centipedes in real life but instead of killing you slowly with poison it kills you with bites quickly. Do not equip anything lower than Chitin or you will get one shot.

Stay TF back. Bug repellant and ghillie seems like your best option. Also, a longbow and a lot of distance. If it spots you, duck and weave MF, duck and weave!

He protec

He attac

But most importantly he says good bye to your flak

They CANNOT attack you while in the water!!!

They can spawn alone or in packs of up to 2 and can only spawn in the lower south cave, central cave, upper south cave, and the swamp cave.

Never use melee weapons against them because arthropleuras reflect some of the damage dealt back onto you and your armor and also massively damage your weapon's durability

Always use firearms against them because arthropleuras take 3x damage against them and projectiles and also have a 2.5x headshot multiplier so hitting a headshot will massively damage them

How to always win against arthropluera

dont go in caves

Only true ark players understand how scary these guys are.

r.i.p. ascended riot gear.😭😭😭

They actually can fit though doors learned that the hard way.

There’s nothing better than spitting acid on a creature’s face without them even knowing

FYI: They delete metal weapons durability way fast so go with a Long neck rifle and shoot from a distance, close combat with them in a tight spot equals death

You may encounter this giant insect in cave, many people are scared just because it can one shot you even in full TEK suit, but don't get fooled by their looks and stats, they are slow and their attack recovery speed is lower than you, and they can shoot poisonous fluid from distance (super EZ to dodge) and their radar is short so best choice is...... You name it!!! A bow. Gauge them from distance and pow!!! Most of them are usually not that tough so good luck. (Don't fight them if other hostile are present around the area) don't mess up.

Thanks to the Halloween event where these SOBs spawn anywhere they like near my base I've discovered they can slide under gates......you expect to be safe from land creatures, BUT NO. Current death count from unexpected attacks at 2.

If you want to kill it, get a crossbow, but DON’T hit it with melee weapons. My sword broke in two swings! If you want to tame, get bug repellent or ghillie (or both) and feed spoiled meat. Also, don’t let it hit you, it broke me Mastercraft chitin armor in two-three hits. Hope this helps. Peace out ✌️

Tamable in the volcano biome of genesis

Never use melee weapon

That's suicide.

Guys be fast and quick like James Bond BRO get spoiled meat (like another guy said who would waste the broth bro) then consume bug repellent

If you see one of these strip down and accept death….

Or don’t and have your tek armor ripped to shreds in seconds

It is very easy to defeat them, just use ranged weapons and then you are good

Attacking them makes you loose heath as well as them
