What are tips for achatina? Tips and strategies for achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Don’t even take them,just pick them up and put them in a pen.
The Achatina is a passive tame, using the expensive resource of Sweet Vegetable Cake. Using a taming pen would be the most suitable strategy, due to the Achatina being found in the Swamps and Redwood Forest, some of the more dangerous areas of the ARK. Plus, the Achatina is a small enough creature for any ridable flying mount to grab it up, adding on to strategy of using a taming pen for this critter.
They suck at attacking only good for cementing paste and organic polymer though they are fast they get destroyed by Dilos and bigger preditors I have never seen them get attacked by gigas though
Just get a crossbow and aim for the head.Try to upgrade it to 14% and it should be easy to kill the achatina. Dont use melee it's harder to kill it then.
You don't have to tame them they make the goo even if not tamed just put them in a pen and watch them go
Honestly you dont need to tame one of these at all. They are a very important Dino but if your just starting out and have no farm just make a little stone cage and find a few in the jungle, pick them up with a ptera or argent and place in cage. They can stay wild and still drop a ton of CP no need to waste sap or crops!
Way more narco then what it says in here atleast take 100 for a lvl 50
Can also produce organic cementing paste, but takes a longer time
Being koo
Remember not to shoot anywhere but the head, it will inflict less torpor other places.
they made me use all my vegis after they were tamed, be warned
So I've just tamed a lvl 290 on SE and it took almost double of everything to what is said that it's ment to of taken.. heads up Dododex is way way out on this tame
They make achatina paste till they have one stack(100) and then begin producing organic polymer as long as the paste remains. They also increase the spoil time of organic polymer when in their inventory. Be sure to have plenty of cakes or they will starve. You can still get a lot of paste before they die though so not a complete waste if you cannot continue feeding. Only tame low level achatina.
Located in and around the swamp, useful for cementing paste!
Ptes can carry them
Pasta salad is the most versatile dish
Snails are a must have for cementing paste! Here's how to get one:
So first you'll have to make sweet vegetable cakes
(4 is good cause they only eat cakes even after tame)
To nake the cake you'll need:
2 giant bee honey
4 sap
2 rockaroots (the carrots)
2 longrass (the corn)
2 savoroot (the potatoes)
4 stimulant
25 fiber
And water in a cooking pot (spark powder or thatch is better to burn to avoid making charcoal)
There's tons of beehives and sap in the redwoods so build a small base there. Make a tap to get the sap (100 metal 40 cementing paste) and place it on one of the huge redwood trees you can't hit down (it'll have to be placed high in the tree so you'll have to get up there somehow and since the tree platform's are so expensive I just placed a foundation on the ground under the tap then doorways all the way up to the tap and connected ladders to the doorways then put a ceiling facing the tree to stand on, don't worry if the tap is in the way to get up, you can access the tap while on the ladder)
For the honey build a ramp up to a beehive, then ride a dire bear up the ramp and on PC right click
And On Playstation L2
Then for the plants harvest the seeds and plant them in crop plots. And don't worry the snails eat the cake extremely slowly so you don't have to worry about them eating them to fast
