It doesn't say it but it drops angler gel when i kill it
If you put it in a cage and don’t tame it, make sure it’s near water!
Also it doesn’t only eat cake in the wild, It just only eats it after you tame it because you tamed it with cake and it’s favorite food is cake
Your best bet of finding them is in Athens redwoods. When you do you, if you play in PvE, you can’t shoot it with a grapple and a crossbow. Al long as you don’t release it, you can fly back to your base with a wild achatina flying behind you - only to get shot down by your turrets.
makes tons of achatina paste, which is used as cementing paste, which is incredibly useful! the only issue is that it only eats veggie cakes after tamed. my advice is get a refrigerator, make a few sweet veggie cakes to have on hand, and store them in the refrigerator until the lil guys get hungry, but don't starve them of course. good luck💕🐌
Leaves its shell at about 85% health
U will need an extra veggie cake as due to the veggie cake having a 30 second timer on it one is consumed it does not class as the food being in the inventory during the cool down period resulting in the taming effectiveness dropping during this time.
The 30 second cool down for eating a veggie cake counts as there being no food in its inventory and so the taming percentage goes down that's why dododex is normally off by one.
The reason for extra cakes is the 30 second timer after it eats a cake. While the 30 second timer is ticking it says put food in inventory to tame and you lose some taming percentage
Easy end game farming of these:
Extinction has the cryoball, cryofridge and Dino leash engrams... learn these.
Make and charge cryoballs.
Make cakes.
Make Dino leash.
Go hunting for the snails.
Tame them then cryo them.
Each cryoball holds one animal “frozen” until thrown back out (like a pokeball).
Continue until all your balls are filled.
Place snails, place Dino leash (they will have a “lock” above their heads.
Set them to roam and they stay inside the leash radius.
Feed cakes as normal when hungry. :-)
For a reason on xbox it doesnt eat needs fixing like so people can see
