Araneos are rideable tames in Ark Survival Ascended and can be highly aggressive. That said, these monsters can be extremely helpful during PvPs and PvEs. The spider-like creatures can't be found on the island's surface, as they reside deep inside caves. Players can enter any cave near them to hunt for this critter.

Before delving into caves for Araneos, one should note that these areas are infested with lethal monsters. Players must carry weapons like shotguns or rifles for safety. They can also bring a small tame or a shoulder pet, such as a Microraptor, for protection. Players must also bring Bug Repellent to ward off other cave monsters.

Once survivalists are inside the cave, they must use the Ark Survival Ascended Bug Repellent and start their search for the Araneo. After spotting one, players can clear the area of other aggressive critters for a smooth taming process. Once the location has been secured, players can then approach the arachnid. They must be careful around the monster, as poking it or getting too close can result in the critter getting hostile.

Players must approach the monster from behind to avoid taunting it. Once close enough, they can tame the monster by feeding it spoiled meat. While the monster can be tamed by other food, spoiled meat is the ideal option in this scenario. During the taming process, Araneo might roam around the cave, so players must keep track of them with the Ark Survival Ascended taming meter.

Once the process concludes, Araneo will be available as a useful tame.
