Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a arthropluera? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a arthropluera.
The easiest way by far is to pick it with an argy, wyv, or quetzal and drop it into a 1x2 that’s 2 walls high. It won’t move/aggro and it will poke through the wall allowing you to feed it.
You can tame this by dropping them in kinda deep water and then in will become passive tame knock-out tame wont work
All you need to do is build a 1x1 building three stories high (doesn’t matter what material) and drop the arthropluera in there. It will take a few tries, but then you can feed it spoiled meat without it aggroing on you.
I think there is a bug rn because when I went to tame it would get to about 80% then rapidly start dropping and wouldn’t let me feed it until it got back down to 50% and I literally could not tame it.
Don’t pay attention to any of these rip unless they suggest to tame it in deep water
Tame a scorpion in the cave and then they won’t agro. Up if good and helpful
Just use a gillie suit and prone when close
Just pick it up with something put it in a taming pen then tame. On the Crystal Isles they spawn in the dessert so just fly over pick one up and tame.
Dodo is wrong about amount of tranq arrows needed (crossbow). Lvl.19 arthro, it states 1 headshot or 3 hits. It took me about 15 and it died, thankfully. Boy did I freak out after the fifth arrow... I was running naked in the woods
Okay, people keep saying the best way to tame them is with a megalosaurus, but I found an easier way. (Im using mobile so this might not work for non-mobile)
I used a cave scorpion as it’s just a megalosaurus but easier to get. I just walked up to one and tamed it while riding my cave scorpion. I didn’t use anything special, just spoiled meat and a tamed cave scorpion. I was only level 28 and only had cloth clothes on.
Just go in water and when it loses aggro hand feed it! They’re really good for raiding because they destroy all structures. I always bring a high level one with high mele damage and when I drain all turrets and get rid of their Dino’s I ride this bad boy and destroy their structures till I wipe them completely clean. Works best on a boosted server. They can be useful for defending too as they’ll destroy all armour on enemies. I recommend!!
I revived mine at an obelisk and they are pretty scary to tame tbh. Had to bring 2 bug repellants one for my argy that i left behind a rock in case i aggroed the arthro and had to run. Idk about it in caves but if revived they will move around unpredictably while taming. Approach it from the side to feed it, its feeding hitbox only works on its upper half so you cant feed it from the tail but going for the head is also pretty bad because when it moves again its probably going to touch you and start attacking
Grab it with wyvern and throw it in Water, easy tame
These are rlly easy to tame, all you have to do is give it a soothing balm rooten meat or broth of envriment (idk how to spell that) raw meat also works.
They are also good in caves everithing will ignore u even if u Touch it.
Build 1 foundation 3 walls tall. Pick up arthro drop into the box (if not familiar with, may take a little time). Arthro Will be Non violent, no bug repellant or ghillie needed. Would advise using wyvern to pick up.
Tamed 1 of these fellas on pve,a fully black one,these fellas are walking tanks get one yourself!
In mobile it's pretty easy to tame her, for some reason when you're riding a pulmonoschorpius no creature will aggro you, so just get closer riding the pulmoschorpius, and feed her spoiled meat
Arthropluras are passively tamed, before you approach them, you need to use bug repellent. Here is a list of most effective to least effective taming foods:
1.Broth Of Enlightenment
2. Spoiled Meat
3. Raw Meat
The Arthroplura saddle is unlocked at level 54 and costs 30 engram points.
If you pick them up with a wyvern and drop them in the water, you can feed them as they are swimming back. sometimes they will stay where you drop them and not drown. they break metal with ease and anything under
Pick it up with a crab or Megalosaurus and throw it into the water.
