XaosRes Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The Hidden Tomb of the Coleoptera...New Boss Gula Beetle The Gula Beetle is easy to beat, but its shell is hard as steel. Waste of anything, arrows, bullets, eerie element...nothing works really good. And hold your distance, 2-3 hits and you‘re dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalArkGamer Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I like how you kept the beetle between those two rocks so the dense vegetation wouldn't obscure your vision. That dude is for sure a hella thick boy! Those arrows where only doing around 400 damage! When he hit you did he do any noticeable damage to your armor's durability?

XaosRes Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 You‘re dead before your armor gets wrecked. 2-3 hits are enough. But look at this video, his enviroment is fatal to him. But I have noticed something else...sometimes he stands completely still, is eating something and has hearts over his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalArkGamer Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Definitely a much faster but riskier way! Saves all those resources used on metal arrows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KodahWomble Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I had a lot better luck with the pump action shotgun over the compound bow. It’s hard to say if it really did more damage per say (only ~250 damage shotty vs 1100 now), but I consistently killed the beetle in no more than half the time it took with the bow. For most players, I expect making shotgun ammo is also easier/cheaper than harvesting/making poly for metal arrows as well. I never saw the hearts or anything, but I stayed on the two hills and worked back and forth each time. Any chance there was some unusual, unannounced tame function available? I’ve wondered about the poop drop from that one chest, along with the poop throughout this dungeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XaosRes Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Try it and shoot poop at it, it will eat it (therefore the hearts of his head). It stands still for 3-6s, ready for shooting him. I can‘t carry a lot, therefore no shotgun for me, and my shotgun is really crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KodahWomble Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I don’t usually carry the shotgun since the bow or sword pretty much handle everything better. But I went through so many arrows in the first run that I decided to try the shotgun next time. I was barely using any arrows on the creature rooms last week, so I was able to drop that number by a lot to open weight for shotgun and ammo. I generally start a dungeon near the top of weight, so I hear you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XaosRes Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Cause my character is completely based on speed and melee, very little on health, and very very little on weight... I can barely take 200 arrows and a second set of armor (for the first run of every dungeon only). Sometimes this puts me in danger when fighting on melee cause of the encumbrance which is reached very fast. My second try against the Gula was with the shotgun. All the ammunition taken with me didn‘t even drop its health by half. Now I only take it on with my sword, no waste of ammo, and very fast.
