The cake is not a lie. It does feed on cake while trying tame.

Dear WHAT ARE CAKES?!

You need to make Sweet Vegetable Cake. Learn in engrams.

Important tip! They only eat cake! So level up their hunger so they can go a long time without food!

My advice is to catch him with the argent and take him out of the swamps

Hello everyone! Today we'll be looking at the Achatina.

- What is this creature? -

The Achatina is a snail that lives in swampy areas. It's completely harmless and easy to kill. However, if you don't kill it with one hit, it will crawl into its shell and can no longer be attacked. The same applies to wild creatures: if they don't kill the Achatina with one hit, they won't be able to attack it anymore.

There are two types of Achatina:

Normal Achatina

Aberrant Achatina (found on the Aberration map)

- How to tame? -

The Achatina can only be tamed with sweet vegetable muffins. Achatina can be easily stunned with a small number of darts (depending on its level). She wakes up fairly quickly, so bring at least 50 narcotics. Place a couple of sweet vegetable muffins (depending on her level) in her inventory and wait. There's a bug where Achatina eats a muffin without increasing her taming bar, so bring some muffins with you. Once Achatina wakes up, she can be carried by any flying creature, so you can carry her without cryocaps.

- Useful Tips -

Achatina is your home "cement" maker. She produces Achatina paste, which works like regular cement. There's a bug where when you log out and back in, Achatina's entire inventory is filled with her paste. However, for Achatina to produce paste, she needs to be wandering. To prevent it from escaping, build a wooden cage and place the Achatina in it, enable wandering, and enjoy a large flow of "Cement." The downside of the Achatina is that even after taming, it only eats sweet vegetable cakes. So, unless you have a large supply of resources for making cakes, taming the Achatina is not recommended.

- Loot -

Achatina loot is standard:

Raw meat

Chitin.

However, in Ark Survival Mobile Edition, Achatina also dropped Anglerfish Gel.

I picked up a “snail” in the redwoods with my “pterodactyl”, and dropped it in my base (surrounded by spike walls). It wondered around and dropped cement paste for a while, but it kept trying (unsuccessfully) to escape... so I built a wooden platform with 3 window walls and a door, & dropped it in with my “pterodactyl”. I could stand outside the window and grab the cement paste before I was able to tame it (with 10 cakes). Very handy companion. I’m trying to make a tree platform and you need like 1,000,000,000 cement paste to do it...

Babies die with cakes in their inventory for some reason, just force feed them till juvenile.

Use a tranq dart and aim for the soft butt or head. Wait 5 to 10 seconds between shots, less wasted ammo, faster KO and less likely to kill. Easy to keep up with, kill everything on the ground around it to ensure a safe start. After KO add cakes and sleepy stuff (narcoberries, narcotic, or bio toxin) stand a bit away incase you are attacked so you don't kill it accidentally. I fly argy when taming snails since usually attacked by troodons and little thieves.

Can be carried in arms while riding a land or air dino.

Dodo ex says that this does not drop any angler gel but when I killed one of these I got 1 angler gel I am on mobile also

Must be set to wander to produce paste. Rarely moves anyway. Roughly 1 CP produced per minute in it's inventory. Can stack to 100. Also randomly produces organic poly as well. Having 2-3 of these will give you an over abundance of CP in just a few hours.

Some obvious tips no one really mentions: Remember to aim for the slug, not the shell. Otherwise you’re just wasting your ammo. Also, if you can, pick them up and carry them to someplace safe before taming. I recommend ruins where you can throw down a quick gate or spike wall to seal the entrances. Final tip; their torpor drains fast. Best route is narco berries, which take longer to raise torpor (and the longer it takes to rise, the more time before it starts draining!)

Tip for new players: The Early Game category says this is a Early Game creature, its Encountering wise, not taming, its near the beach swamps and non aggressive, but it needs to be knocked out and it needs to be quick as to slow and it curls up in its shell, it eats sweet vegetable cake that is hard to get requireing giant bee honey wich is a late/mid game item requireing ghille and high level health and speed, ghille needs organic poly, and its a hard to get item. Unless you kill snails. So in summary its not a Early Game tame, its a Early Game encounter.

Tame a low level one. No difference in drops from a lvl 15 one and a lvl 300 one. Just be careful that you don't accidentally kill them while trying to knock them out

When taming. It takes about 200 food for it to eat a piece of cake.

Sweet vegetable cake is the preferred food for Achatina

They are found in the swamp and love nothing more than cake. Capable of producing Achatina paste (alternative to cementing paste) and organic polymer . Once set to wandering, will produce and store a max of 100 paste.They also defecate CP.

To effectively farm cementing paste, put the achatina in a cage and set it to wander. It will generate 100 cementing paste in its inventory over a period of time, as well as dropping one every 60 seconds or so. Keep in mind that the cementing paste generated caps at 40, so be sure to empty it’s inventory frequently as possible. Although it is labeled achatina paste, there is no visual or use-case differences. They also increase the spoil timer on organic polymer so I recommend using it as storage for poly.

The achatina is a small snail, carryable by hand, that can be useful if you are missing a small amount of cementing paste, and can’t be bothered to go and get the supplies to craft more. It poops and passively generates achatina paste, which is identical functionally and visually to cementing paste. It can hold up to 100 at a time.

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.~Steel Cookie 123
