If you are trying to kill it or tame it don't hit it on the shell because the shell is the strongest point go for the slug looking part because it is more effective then the shell
Achatina
The Achatina is a massive snail, mostly used for its production of Cementing Paste, or as a pet. This creature produces its paste passively — and quite frequently — so many survivors keep them around their bases. However, its usefulness pretty much ends there, as it cannot attack and moves quite slow. The Achatina must be tamed violently.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The achatina will lose food when away from water even when wild. This means that it will be hungry when knocked out or will lose health when left too long.
I'm sure if you put organic polymer in a cooking pot with oil you create soap. This then won't spoil. When you need it back drop it in an industrial grinder to turn it back to polymer.
Take this beautiful shelled wonder and put it away from the swamp and dangerous dinos. After that start shooting it with darts in the head until knocked out. When it is knocked you will have to feed it sweet veggie cakes until tamed. After that you will enjoy your cement…
Take this beautiful shelled wonder and put it away from the swamp and dangerous dinos. After that start shooting it with darts in the head until knocked out. When it is knocked you will have to feed it sweet veggie cakes until tamed. After that you will enjoy your cement pooping machine😎
These guys will produce up to 100 cement and then produce organic polymer
They produce cem paste passive in their inventory. Best way ive used them, put them in a dino pen with carnivores and put sweet veggie cakes in the feeding trough. They also produce organic poly same way. Just make sure their on wandering.
Easy way to grab them from scary areas: use Argentavis to carry them home to a snail pen. Cementing Paste for days. Plus, they’re adorable. Just make sure you have plenty of cake to keep them fed and happy.
These guys poop out cementing paste which is used for all the good material in later game
tame it as early as possible, have farms for the required cake resources (only eats sweet vegetable cake, even when tamed), collect the cementing paste every once in a while, never have to worry about cp ever again 🙏. the org polymer is not a reliable source though.
If you pit it in a cafe on wandering it will give you cementing paste
An Argentavis can carry two Achatina's at once when using its claws and beak
You can pick up Achatina's with a flying mount to bring them to a safe area to damage
If it is damaged, it will retreat into its shell and will not flee or fight back. The damage dealt will be reduced for as long as it is inside the shell.
They drop a large amount of chitin when harvested which takes time and effort to farm.
drops angler jel ONLY on ark mobile!
Tip:they eat veggie cakes even after tame.
FUN FACT: they can wear hats!!!!! I found this out after accidentally putting my Gilly mask and it’s inventory.
Is it me or are these things EXTREMELY hard to find in gen 2 😑
These things are weird. Their only practical use is to collect their paste they drop every once in a while. You can also just kill them to get some angler gel.
Their shell imobolises them selves
Pretty easy tame on mobile, especially if you live in the redwoods or have a bee farm and a greenhouse on mobile. Only eats sweet veggie cakes so don’t you be fooled, even at very low hunger this still is a die hard sweet tooth. Cementing paste and polymer will never be a…
Pretty easy tame on mobile, especially if you live in the redwoods or have a bee farm and a greenhouse on mobile. Only eats sweet veggie cakes so don’t you be fooled, even at very low hunger this still is a die hard sweet tooth. Cementing paste and polymer will never be a problem with this guy around. Just tame one and bathe in all the polymer and cementing paste you want. No need to slaughter the cute penguins. This is mostly why tamers succeed in ark more than those that kill everything on sight. A tamer is the most powerful and most experienced player in the ark, not even alpha tribes might wanna mess with. Bending the humble achatina means endless advanced resources, many would wish to trade their lives for. So tamers, listen up! Tamers can also be traders, in fact, wandering traders. Bend a brontosaurus to your will and you’ll get the perfect wandering trader’s shop. And once you get this guy, protect him! He’ll be the most important, at first production rate might seem slow but don’t waver! This is actually one of the most powerful tames ever, along with their damage reduction and can also wear helmets! So get them a good quality helmet then slap it on their heads to protect them more.
It needs to be on wandering to give u cement paste passively
