Kill effectively to increase everything and tame a lot of animals
You know it out by hitting it in the face hole or the but hole when you knok it out you will need sweet vegetables cake to tame it.go look on dodo dex stew page to see what it takes
Even though I have 10 veggie cakes in his inventory, it says "put food in inventory to tame" and I'm losing small amounts of taming percentage (but not taming effectiveness). Weird bug, must have something to do with the cool down everytime it eats.

Once tamed, even on wandering it's hunger will go down slower than when you are almost full on weight. Takes around a week for it to need to be fed. So no need to rush with the sweet vegie cakes!
So it seems it's taking longer, using more cakes and narc then what it says it's ment to.. also effectiveness is lower aswell
The ones in caves on scorched earth are a high level untameable variant
They appear on swamps and can be carry by argy
Taming
For general info about domesticating a wild creature see Taming.
KO Strategy
Since damage is significantly reduced by the shell, it is best to hit it on the soft, fleshy parts instead. If it takes enough damage, it will retreat into its shell, making it very easy to kill it before the torpor from tranquillizers can knock it out. Be mindful of how bloody the Achatina gets, and use Shocking Tranquilizer Darts or normal Tranquilizer Darts to minimize this risk.
Can be tamed using vegetable cake
In Mobile, yes after being tamed it still only eats Cake but taming a lot isn't so bad, compared to the first one, before i knew cakes existed in this game. Just gather a bunch of rare flowers from Beaver Dams and place it on a Bee Hive and thats pretty much the hardest ingredient to get for Cakes. I Manually feed it one cake at a time to not waste them. Each cake gives about 200 Food( correct me if I'm wrong.) And i level up his food so its not that much of a hassle. Free Cement paste for life.. Up Up Up
It took only three shocking tranquilizers to knock out a level 300 on Crystal Isles.
You gonna need a farm for vegetable cake to tame them
