Lightning Arthropluera — Detailed Guide

The Lightning Arthropluera is the lightning-infused version of the Arthropluera, the giant acid-spitting centipede whose acid wears down armor. It belongs to the Lightning Creatures of Astraeos in ASA: stronger than the normal animal and always aggressive.

Where to find it

It spawns only on Therokis, the fiery region of Astraeos that Lightning Creatures call home.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. If you want an Arthropluera, tame a normal one instead.

Uses

Like other Lightning Creatures it often drops Corrupted Nodules, which can stand in for Organic Polymer, and has a chance to drop a Corrupt Heart.

Tips

Lightning Creatures take reduced damage from turrets and ignore Metal Spike Walls, while the Enforcer deals four times its normal damage to them.
