What are tips for achatina? Tips and strategies for achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Taming Math
Eats cake every 5 minutes well taming or else will starve to death.
Needs to Feed every 12 hours after tamed.
To the author of "The Obelisk" Is chapter 100 really the end or do you plan on making more? I REALLY Loved the story! ❤️😁
If you kill it use a flamethrower it will do the most damage
Get a gacha with sap and feed it rocks to make the cake
Mine kept glitching while taming, took almost triple the cakes and double the time (kept saying put food in inventory to tame). I found a way to bypass this by putting a stack of berries and a stack of meat in it's inventory along with cakes while it's knocked out. Hope this helps someone if anyone else has had this problem.
So... Achatinas! The Snaily Bois!
These will give you Cementing Paste (or rather, Achatina Paste which functions exactly the same as Cementing Paste if left on wandering).
Found in the swamps and usually killed by the stronher creatures around, tanes these bad bois up, set them to wandering and get as much paste as you need!
(or use the big frog, but where is the fun (or snails) in that!)
They eat Sweet Vegetable Cakes and you need to tranq them down with darts preferably. Aim for the soft part of the Achatina and not the shell part. Shooting its shell will take more darts to take down.
Only get one of these AFTER you have set up a redwood platform for tree sap. And AFTER you have mastered stealing honey from bees, or tamed 2 or 3 queen bees. Once tamed, just build a little 2x2 room with no roof and keep the snails in there. I level only food stat and I have 6 snails right now. When breeding, THEY ALL GET PREGNANT! So you can easily increase their numbers if you have the cake production. The snail team produces like 100+ organic polymer by the time i log in each day(each snail has 16 on it currently and over 3k food each so I dont need to feed them everyday) which I use to turn into metal arrows and any upgraded guillie suit pieces and use crafted polymer for the major items.
I have 10 of these and never have a issue with paste... ever. I have flown 3 argies full of obsidian back to base and ran out of that before the paste. Also makes repairing gillie suit so much easier. Any time it breaks I run to the snail shed and have enough organic poly to repair pretty much anything.
If you want to tame one first pick it up from the ground with a bird and bring him away from swamp then crossbow how or dart him in the head wait 5 seconds then redo then ONLY feed veggie cake beware of comment who said a lie
Lower level means less cakes to tame. Carry it with your argy to your base. Tranq it, feed it cakes. Set it to wander and it will produce achatina paste at a maximum of 100 just over an hour before you need to empty it. If you store they only eat cakes so just level the food stat on them so you never have to waste cakes. They will regen in the cryofridge.
Apparently they reproduce??
I've been told they don't and many tips said they also don't but they do.. they also both get pregnant at the same time, but they only feed in veggie cake from what I saw
