Tips & Strategies
How to tame:
Supplies:
- Bed,
- 10-15 sleep arrows, maybe more
- Veggie cake, make sure you have a good supply.
Taming:
Place the bed a good distance away from the area with the achatina, as the places these spawn are dangerous to venture into. I found the most populated area is the large swamp, which has sarco and kapro. Find a achatina that is NOT getting its shell handed to it by a dilo or titanaboa, and shoot it in the head. Shove cake down his/ her throat and your good to go!
P.S. The achatina eats veggie cake before and after taming and only veggie cake.

They can wear hats!!!
If you are considering breeding these, go slam your hand in a car door a few times. It will be much less painful. Literally one veggie cake per percent of growth....and it grows slow.. Digests roughly one point of food per second, so feed a cake about one for every 7 mins (during event boost) and it will gain one percent of growth.
U CAN GET CAKES THROUGH CHEF STATION ON MOBILE!
I like to make note that this is a knock out tame
Do not starve tame. There is a cool down on the veggie cakes that don't allow it to eat them as quickly as needed.
And their not breedable! Why. I want baby achatina!!!!
If you are playing Official PvE, you can grapple them with a grappling hook and then fly or walk them back somewhere safer for them to be knocked out, such as your base for example.
Has a high torpor drain ASA. Up for all to see.
Pick it out of the swamp with pterodactyl and plop it around your base
As of 12/20 it took 15 shots (5 tail 10 head) to knock out a 150 and 9 veggie cakes. The head, tail, or she'll shots don't seen to make a difference anymore.
