The Centipede is Stuck in Me, What do I do?

[D.A.R.K.]

I already checked my limbs, and it poisoned me, I already treat that with Lily, but the centipede itself IS stuck in me, looks like it's stuck in my neck. When I hold a spear, it appears floating in front of me, and when I hold nothing, or one-handed items, it appears stuck in my neck

This spiky thing in the bottom left of the screen is the centipede stuck in my neck:

The "string" in the bottom left of the screen is the centipede floating:

Are those graphical glitches or do I need to do something to get rid of it? I cured the poison, but the fever took me down, I didn't have time to cure completely to see if the centipede would leave or no, I just pass out.

ya same here. and at least while playing on "king of the jungle" there are WAY too many centipedes. i literally got bit by 4 centipedes in a matter of 20 mins just while at my base. and my base is in the SOA map right by the tribe village where you get the fishing spear. its the safest area of the map. i cant figure out why they attack or how to avoid them

Well they attack because they was on the stack and you disturbed them so they feel threatened and you can't avoid them, soon as you see/hear them drop stack jump back twice literally and you should be good

It's starting to sound like a random event, which concerns me.

Do you know those dead birds that you find randomly? Yeah, once I found two dead birds inside one another, I took one to farm feathers, and then the second one was there... This means, for some reason, they spawned one on top of another and clipped inside...

Are you telling the spots that centipede spawns could have multiple centipedes because of this same bug? So... Disturbing one it's the same as disturbing multiples, which means multiples poison and fever stack because of one single attack of each?

Well, at least we can hear them spawn the same way as any other creature that can dig, we just need to avoid the area.

[D.A.R.K.]

Ok... Something just happened to me.

I left some Palm Leaves on the ground to build stuff, when I got them, a centipede just walk around the leaf while I was holding it. My friend suggested that, it's possible that centipede could hide under stuff that we leave on the ground, thus the reason why you are finding them randomly everywhere.

I didn't react in time to take a SS, I just dropped everything.

[D.A.R.K.]

Ok... I learn something on those damn centipedes and how to avoid them.

I'm not sure if centipede spawns from the ground, or it's just on things that we left on the ground, but pay real attention to the sound, that's your queue to survive them.

When we talk about spiders, scorpions and snakes, when we hear the sound queue we just step back and look around on the ground to see where they are, but in the case of the centipede, instead of just stepping back, you should also drop everything you are carrying because I think (I think) centipedes DON'T spawn from the ground, they spawn inside things that we left on the ground for a long period of time.

So... You chopped down a tree and left the log there, after a while you went back to get the log and you hear the infamous sound... DROP THE LOG AND MOVE AWAY FROM THE LOG, you'll see the centipede bouncing around the log and scrambling on the ground, I just saw that with my friend.

I think the centipede dies a little while after you drop the item, maybe it tries to chase you around for a little while. Just drop the item you are holding, get away from it and wait like 10 seconds (try to search for the centipede) and then you are safe to get your item back.

Again... Maybe the centipede don't spawn from holes like the others.

i jumped in the water and it went away

I turned arachnids off in my current run; I can't hear the sounds they make, & it got tiresome going around w/ my nose to the ground all the time. -.- And I haven't encountered a centipede yet. So I'm guessing that turning arachnids off turns them off, as well.

I really hate centipedes. There isint enough napalm in the world to deal with them. But this new mechanic sounds annoying, i'd love a seperate toggle for them.

I also have a centipede stuck in me... does it go away by itself or do you need to load a old savegame to get rid of it?

[cshults2021]

As soon as you hear the centipede press Q to drop what your holding and step back. Doing this will cause the centipede to fall to the ground. If your too slow to drop what your holding it will bite you.
