How do I kill a achatina? achatina battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I don't understand if it only eats cake then how does it survive in the wild? For every good ded does it get cake? These are questions that will never be answered
I recommend you find a wild one and trap it in an enclosure, it'll poop out cementing paste without you needing to tame it
- Snippet the compy
I once knocked one out in the redwoods and got it to 85% when a carno came out and started eating him. He wouldn’t even re-agro onto me when i was hitting him.
He slip, he slime, but most importantly... to tame take a lot of time.😎😎😎
You can encounter them in deep forests

Passive Little Guys Walk Up and Pet them
On Ragnorok they can be found in the swamps need the blue obelisk
They are found in and around the swamp biome and can be carried by all mounts with a carry function
They are also found in the red wood. A lot more safer then going around in the swamp trying to find one

Encountering
This section describes how to react to an encounter with the Achatina.
General
If engaged and damaged, the Achatina will retreat into its shell and will neither flee nor fight back. Damage dealt to the Achatina will be heavily reduced for as long as it is inside of its shell. Achatinas do however drop a considerable amount of chitin when harvested, so they are a worthy kill for those looking to collect it, at the expense of the time and effort needed to kill one.
Strategy
Although the Achatina itself is not dangerous, its surroundings are usually filled with dangerous predators. Clear the area of hostile creatures before attempting to tame Achatinas, or pick them up with a flying mount. An Argentavis can carry two Achatina at once when using its claws and beak.
Weaponry
Any weapon or creature will be able to sufficiently kill an Achatina given a little time, though one should shoot the achatina with tranquilizer darts to knock it out for taming, as there is little benefit from exterminating them.
Weaknesses
Wild Achatina sometimes take damage over time randomly as a result of being knocked out by titanoboas, waking up, and having their food lowered to 0 in the process.
Achatina - wild and domesticated - do not and cannot fight back when attacked.
Do not try to kill even a lv 5 one takes forever
I Never knew this but I was killing then with my Spino and I got some Angler Gel. They don’t give nearly as much as an angler, but if you ever need a little bit, just kill these guys!
Random fun fact: this snail is actually on every map besides genesis part 1
To get a lot of XP do a lot of of the worst times in the game and it gives you two or 3XPXP if you’ve got all the things around you will get Jesse
Pat them they are friend shaped!
