Chase's tales!
As I was early in the game, one of the first creatures I saw by the Swamp was this Sluggish Creature. I had to crouch and use my new bola. I swung it at the Achatina and it did not look harmed. I then had to trap it, until a Sarco came up and ate me and my Slug. Later, I had found another one, this time with no Sarcos nearby, and found that they don't eat meat. I tried to tame it with Cakes, because after taming an Ovis I knew a few creatures ate them, and claimed it! Be wary, these creatures are some trouble to handle.
More Achatina Taming & KO Tips
They need to be wandering to get cementing paste passively.
Be aware that after tameing they still only eat cakes
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.
And their not breedable! Why. I want baby achatina!!!!
U CAN GET CAKES THROUGH CHEF STATION ON MOBILE!
Flying them back to base with a PT doesnβt work.
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.
They can wear hats!!!
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.
