What are tips for achatina? Tips and strategies for achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Feed a mouse a cookie and he'll want milk. Passive feed a snail cake in the swamp and he'll want to lure you to some Kapros. They eat sweet veggie cake which is such a pain to get and really picked the worst place to vibe in all of 'dismounted Ark' (Not on a dinosaur) Bring cake and a shotgun, plus a few bolas and you'll be covered in Sacro Scales and Kapro hide while the little bugger munches on his cake. Pros: Snail, CP (Cementing paste not, you know Chris Hansen favorite bait) Cons: Bugger is like the Kim K. Of expensive foods and somehow always sneak out of their pens (That or my tribemates think it's funny to move him). I'd put him in a cage but I'm a big time builder an- sidetracked... Snail go sloop and swamp go brrrrr bring a shotgun. 10/10 tame of course though -Racc Ark Veteran
You can pick up Achatina's with a flying mount to bring them to a safe area to tame
If you find any dead ones make sure to collet the body so more can spawn
Make sure you get to make a house on the first day or so
I have found these guys in the swamp as well as the redwoods.
Requires Hatchet Lvl2.
Noob Informer 2.0: So, Achatinas, they spawn on every map except Genesis Part 1, they are good for getting Cementing Paste and eventually Organic Polymer, they do not Pose any Threats in the Wild whatsoever, neither when Tamed, Achatinas are tamed via Veggie Cakes, which are decently Challenging to make, but you will get it! I forgot how to make Veggie Cakes but I believe in whoever is taking this as Advice! :D, Anyways, to tame a Achatina, make some Veggie Cakes, And ONLY Shoots them in the Head when Tranqing, they are Relatively easy to knock out, and on The Island, they can be found in the Redwoods, and on Crystal Isles, Grasslands, that is all I know pretty much, I don’t see them often on any other Maps, once they are Knocked out feed them Veggie Cakes and let them Tame! Once they are Tamed enjoy you’re Achatina! :>, I would recommend Crafting a Wooden Cage and picking up a Achatina and YEET it in there, set it on Wandering, and you have a Organic Polymer and Cementing Paste Farmer! Up this Tip if it helped you out! :D
Plop it at your base and then somehow aquire a personal honey bee hive for veggie cakes. Great for polymer and cementing paste. Upgrade their food bar whenever it gets enough exp. So then it can go a lot longer without food, and wont die as fast from starvation. I can play for like three days and then decide whether or not I want to top up its food bar.
Shoot in the head not anywhere else.
If you do then it will be too affective.
I love this just make it so it counts the time. like if you push start it props you.
In my experience, it's just easier to farm bugs on beelzebufo for cementing paste and use a pelagornis to farm organic polymer from wild/bred kairuku instead of using expensive resources to feed the achatina. I guess if you live in redwoods by a lake with irrigation pipes carrying water up to your trees base with tons of sap taps, then go ahead and tame an army. But if you're like me, and you live on the southern haven, you can't really get the resources needed for achatina efficiently.
