I recently constructed a 1x8 pen with walls in ARK Ascended, and I found an effective way to tame an Arthro. I used my Argent 🦅 to transport it inside the pen. After placing it in the enclosure, I patiently waited, and the Arthro naturally turned about 90 degrees, which caused it to become stuck. This allowed me to easily tame it using spoiled meat from a spot near the back end of the Arthro, right along the edge of the wall. This method proved to be a straightforward approach, eliminating the need to create bug repellent or worry about potential attacks. Overall, it was a simple and effective trap design!

Make sure you don't wear armor around them

Because they will destroy it. Use bug repellent so they don't automatically attack you. If you need spoiled meat make sure you have each raw meat split up individually that way once 5 mins passes by it all spoils at once

I will make a list of pros and cons about this creature:

Pros:

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will aggro to you, even if you attack it

Inflicts torpor

Can melt armor, harvest dead bodies from afar with acid ball

Swims the same speed as walk

Cons:

Terrible weight (100) you're going to have to stuff your whole inventory somewhere, and maybe even your armor

Saddle requires 35 obsidian

Something I've noticed:

Wild ones can deal constant (like .5 sec between attacks) damage to you, but tamed ones, not even mounted ones can, and I get this needs to be balanced, but make it only work on wild creatures or something, I would love to see it work

Go in a cave with water if they are under water you can tame without them agroin you just use a scuba tank

I find the best way to knock these out and tame them is to simply lead them into the water and grapple to them and they instantly de-aggro and it’s just a matter of feeding it. It has worked many times. Also no ghillie or bug repellent required 👍

To the people who say they only take broth of enlightenment suck a d bc they take spoiled meat

Ghillie and bug repalent still managed to get eaten use broth of enlightenment it makes this much easier I learned the hard way

Don't worry freshers! I know it looks creepy😅.

Here is very simple taming tutorial.

1. Craft Ghillie set if possible.

2. Must use Bug Repellent.

3. Take Spoiled Meat for fast tame.

(Optional) Take it's Saddle with you.

4. Go for Central Cave (near volcano "39.6--46.9")

5. Use Bug Repellent and enter in the hell.

6. The first creature you will see is your Arthro.

7. Don't worry about other creatures just get a little bit close to it & start feeding it.

8. Yeah buddy, now you have An Electric Vehicle for any caves.

NON-VIOLENT THEY SAY HMMMMM ITS DEFINATLY THE TRUTH

THANKS WILD CARD

sorry for my grammer

Drop in water and you don’t need big Repellant as it’s passivr

arthros are really easy to tame if you have a pulmonoscorpius, it grants you the stealth needed to do the passive tame (i think that araneos do that too but they're harder to catch and their saddle unlocks way later). you can just search the highest level arthro in the cave and stock up on rotten meat while doing so, just keep in mind that the saddle unlocks at level 54 and there's not much of a point in keeping one before having a saddle

Drop it with a flier in a 1x1 3 walls high and feed through wall face to face. No bug repellent or ghili needed

Breaks armor with spit passive tame don’t Agro and passive feed it use bug repellent gilli and prone to not agro

Kill everything around it. Where your best gillie. Use Cactus Broth & Bug Repellent. Always use Broth of Enlightenment to tame. Always crouch. Enjoy!

So you are going to want to go to the cave in the middle of the islands and I’d recommend bringing at least 2 bug repellent. Just stay away from the Ovis and Araneo. Clear out any snakes or scorpions as the repellent won’t work on them. Once cleared, find a good Arthropluera. Inch forward until it says feed, I’d recommend spoiled meat, as it is easy to obtain and works just fine. And there you have your own Arthropleura

Since the latest update they are now breedable struckture eaters.

If you want to tame it, best way is to wear ghillie armor and bug repelent, and you must crawl.Go from behind taming will be 100% safe

They can’t be knocked out they are impossible to.

Ever tried Megatheriums?!!!...

I ride these things when I need shi#loads of Chitin, and not a single insect will aggro on you until you attack that species! On Vanilla on XBOX.

Ghillie suits are not necessary but they help bug repellent is enough.
