They only eat veggie cake so make sure you have a good supply on hand before taming one

If you are on modded and have the domesticated bee hive + a tree tap or two you can produce more than enough cakes. Therefore tame as many snails as you can, then trade it throughout your server for other goodies such as fert. eggs and whatever else you may need.

Guys ark mobile is out (at least on ios) up vote so people know and tell the creators to make one for mobile

They will have to be on wandering so make a little pen

Generates organic polymer and “achatina paste” (cementing paste) eats sweet vegetable cakes.

Can be picked up like a dodo.

Don’t even take them,just pick them up and put them in a pen.

The Achatina is a passive tame, using the expensive resource of Sweet Vegetable Cake. Using a taming pen would be the most suitable strategy, due to the Achatina being found in the Swamps and Redwood Forest, some of the more dangerous areas of the ARK. Plus, the Achatina is a small enough creature for any ridable flying mount to grab it up, adding on to strategy of using a taming pen for this critter.

They suck at attacking only good for cementing paste and organic polymer though they are fast they get destroyed by Dilos and bigger preditors I have never seen them get attacked by gigas though

Just get a crossbow and aim for the head.Try to upgrade it to 14% and it should be easy to kill the achatina. Dont use melee it's harder to kill it then.

You don't have to tame them they make the goo even if not tamed just put them in a pen and watch them go

Honestly you dont need to tame one of these at all. They are a very important Dino but if your just starting out and have no farm just make a little stone cage and find a few in the jungle, pick them up with a ptera or argent and place in cage. They can stay wild and still drop a ton of CP no need to waste sap or crops!

Way more narco then what it says in here atleast take 100 for a lvl 50

Can also produce organic cementing paste, but takes a longer time

Being koo

Remember not to shoot anywhere but the head, it will inflict less torpor other places.

they made me use all my vegis after they were tamed, be warned

So I've just tamed a lvl 290 on SE and it took almost double of everything to what is said that it's ment to of taken.. heads up Dododex is way way out on this tame

They make achatina paste till they have one stack(100) and then begin producing organic polymer as long as the paste remains. They also increase the spoil time of organic polymer when in their inventory. Be sure to have plenty of cakes or they will starve. You can still get a lot of paste before they die though so not a complete waste if you cannot continue feeding. Only tame low level achatina.

Located in and around the swamp, useful for cementing paste!

Ptes can carry them
