Stories Tips
What are some stories about the achatina? Memorable achatina stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
This thing is a pain and I hate it, I heard it makes good cementing paste alternative and since I am mostly pacifist and do not like killing stuff I tried to tame one(big mistake) i didn't care about the level so I got a 25 and knocked it out(easy) I gave it berries and it didn't eat them, meat; no I tried everything else from chitin and fish meat and ended up trying to give it literally every consumable thing in my base to see what it eats, than, I gave up and came here to discover that it ONLY eats sweet cakes(tamed or wild) so I pretty much gave up on taming it and locked it in this 1x1 thach prison with my pt(blitz) and it ended up despawning. I wasted a lot of time on this(2 hrs) for nothing but 3 acachina paste.

Duke, read Chapter 1 of FAF (Fire and Freedom i’m just gonna call it this from now on) and it was really nice! I like the detail that Jasper has a horn, I’m guessing that they’re like mutations (sort of like how some people have blue eyes, green eyes and etc). Only criticism is that Jasper and Elm getting attacked by whatever they were attacked by could have had some improvement, since it sort of just happens. There could be a lot of suspense and action by describing how the fight took place. Of course, there should also be a motive as to why Puffin decided to save the two, especially if they didn’t trust them in the beginning. Also cool to see that it takes place on Ragnarok, though there are a few inconsistencies between the story and the game, since Forest Wyverns and Rhyniognathas dont spawn there. I’m sure you can figure out a reason why they’re there though. Anyway I’ll be waiting around for Chapter 2.
DiploLover, yeah, that’s understandable. Just make sure to prioritize stuff, don’t multitask, and time gets freed up pretty easily. Setting a goal for yourself (for example a chapter a week) can also help accelerate progress, even if it doesn’t feel like you have time by setting a goal you make yourself create time for yourself. Idk, it’s kinda difficult to explain until you experience it yourself. Also yes as Apex explained the Fandom wiki for this website is just a place to chat and stuff, and you can find new stories to read there too. As for other stories to read, Apex already gave a hefty list, but if you want a specific suggestion based off your taste, here’s what I have to suggest.
If you want a creature-based story that’s more adventure-themed and fast-paced, then read the Pandora Chronicles series by Wyvernian. The first book is Heroes of Pandora, the second is Protectors of Pandora, and the series is about a Mesopithecus named Caesar trying to stop a Dragon boss from destroying his home ARK Pandora. You can find it in the All filter, alphabetically, and it starts in Allosaurus.
If you want a creature-based story that’s more focused on horror and the like, read Pandora by Moon (not to be confused with Pandora Chronicles). Its about an abnormal “wyvern” named Pandora who is an outcast in the Wyvern Kingdom, and her sister Bria who has recently become a hunter for the kingdom. You can find it in the Breedables filter, alphabetically, and it starts in Amargasaurus.
If you want a Survivor-based story centered around ARK lore and more specifically the Element corruption on Earth, read Ultimus by PrimalApex. It’s an Extinction-map story based around a man named Andrew who’s had to survive on the dead Earth for as long as he’s known. You can find it in the Aquatics filter, reverse alphabetically, and it starts in Tusoteuthis.
Maybe you want to take a break from ARK fanfiction… in that case, the Riddles of the Phoenixes series by SunnyFox57 is a good pick. It takes place many many years after ARK Survival, and it’s about the Riddle Family, a family derived from royalty with their roots related to the ARK protocol and the like. The story is more romance-based and slice of life. At least in the first two books. You can find it in the All filter, and it starts in Allosaurus.
Maybe you just want a short story that’s sweet and simple. If so, read Queen of Aberration by Sylveevee. It’s about a woman named Syl who is trying her best to survive on the Aberration ARK, but through some circumstances becomes a queen. Very dandy and wacky, contains powers (if that’s what you like) and is not as long as the other stories. You can find it exclusively in Shinehorn.
That’s all, don’t read them all at once, it’s not possible. Just pick whichever you find most interesting, and get immersed. Reading everything too quickly I wouldn’t recommend, it just won’t be as fun. Also, Chapter 24 was really nice! Can’t wait to see how their trip to Carnivore Island goes. And for Chapter 5, basically Astra has a nightmare about Shadow (and wonders if he’s even a direwolf) and basically wakes up to see that she’s a Direwolf now. She went to go hunt fish but there’s Piranhas so she passes out in the water for 2 days. When she wakes up she’s met by Prince and they decide on a name. If you want to view your chapters with ease I highly suggest writing your chapters somewhere down on your phone (not on the Dex) on an app like Docs or Pages, and then just copy pasting them onto the app. Makes things much much easier. If you can’t see any of your chapters go to the DDEX Stories website and check there, you could filter through any creature, not just Achatina.
Sang, I read Chapters 3 and 4 of TFTOA and it was really nice. I can see how Syaoran would fall in love with Kiri easily if he hasn’t had any shoulders to lean on most of his life. Also the tease that Kiri would tell Syaoran’s friends that he liked her but neither of them had friends was hilarious. They became friends fast, that’s for sure.
RelatingHen, Chapters 15 - 16 of JTAC were good stuff. I’m enjoying the plot direction and the tensions between Nudon and Sodden, things have started heating up now that tensions are rising. The fight scenes were also good. The only criticism I had was the dialogue inconsistency for Cordor. He says the Rexes weren’t even that good, but just a few words later says that they’re too powerful. Also if they were too powerful, why didn’t they just kill them off? Cato is clearly very wounded, so it couldn’t be hard especially if they’re caged. Anyway besides that, Chap 15 was good. Chap 16 was also good, I’m enjoying Terad’s freak outs. He’s very possessive over Serenity and the other C Tribe members and even more possessive over Sodden, even though he’s not a part of the tribe. I imagine now that Nameless will go after Nudon though (without their leader) because of what happened. Anyways, I’ll be around for the next one.
One time I tamed one of these little fellas and named it Gary. I always hated gathering cementing paste so Gary was my little savior. It was hard for me to tame him considering I suck at the game, and he would only eat the finest of cakes, but I finally tamed him and brought him home. I set him on wander inside my living room, and the first thing he did was crawl into my campfire and burn to death. I have never tamed a snail since.

Oh, well I hope you make a swift recovery and can get out and about soon. And thanks for telling me about the “haters”, I’ll keep an eye out. Well, see you around along with everyone else I hope.
NEXUS(I spelled that right, right?)
Unfortunately, I don’t have any information about who you’re referring to. Heck, I didn’t even know about them, so I can’t help, sorry!

Umm guys? So if I try to use Fandom is says something about how vault tech entry required or something and I can’t use Fandom at all.. did I get banned or something? Is it because I’m not home and I’m not on internet? Do we need another way to chat? I honestly don’t know what to do with this..

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen. This is your [LATE] ARK Community News.
Since our last broadcast, several things have occurred in which are fairly big news pieces.
Firstly, two new evolutions have been introduced for the Veilwyn, the lovable Ice Fox Companion. Both being introduced in a sort of Ying-Yang to one another.
First, being the alien equivalent of a Hell Hound, the Malwyn. Being black as though charred with a glowing red belly and three sets of eyes. This ‘98 Godzilla Mutant of a creature evolves from the Veilwyn when a Veilwyn is exposed to a mysterious substance to become the Malwyn. Driven by two things, and two things only. To hunt and to kill. This beast is only driven to hunt down its target, kill it, and move on. As it’ll be a lethal weapon in your arsenal.
Much of the Yang to the Malwyn’s Ying. The Solwyn is an icy angelic in form, it’s fur almost looking like fire, it’s body translucent, being able to see its bones from the outside. Being evolved from the Veilwyn when a Veilwyn is exposed to a different substance to become a the Solwyn. Its purpose, to protect those to whom it bonded to. They will chase you through the icy landscape of Arat Prime to protect you from any danger.
Both will be ridable forms and be available day one of Lost Colony’s release on December 16th.
In other news, both the Quetzal and Giganotosaurus were locked in for their TLCs. With the next to be locked in is most likely the Therizinosaurus this Friday. As of right now, this is the ranking. But there is a significant difference in votes between sixth and fifth, so any changes in the ranking are unlikely.
1. Areneo
2. Quetzal
3. Giganotosaurus
4. Therizinosaurus
5. Megalosaurus
6. Allosaurus
7. Gallimimus
Lastly, The Paleo Ark Therizinosaurus TLC has been released. Making a more paleo accurate version of the Therizinosaurus. Increasing its size to be more akin to the size comparison it would be to ARK’s Rex as the Irl Therizinosaurus would be to the Irl Rex. It is on the ASA mod page right now and will be updated frequently to keep it balanced. This is just a TLC and is not buffed or has any new special features the regular version has.
And that is your ARK Community News.

Farewell Sang, I’ll see you some other time.
And no I will not be picking up her stories.
No problem Break-it, I’m glad you’re here to share your story.
GitezGood, Chapter 9 Part 4 of TFOF was cool, I’m interested to see how getting the help of Lionfeather and the griffins will go considering the history.
Sylveevee, Chapter 2 - 3 of SOH:SOTS was great! I’m interested to learn more about the humans Silinia and Jake.
Jerrald, Chapter VIII was great! And I guess Chaz was the name of the Pego, whoops. Anyway I enjoyed the chapter even though there wasnt too much action, I like how youre going over Marcel’s growing trauma as he continously dies, and the scene where he looks in the water to see the reflection of his scars was really cool. I can’t wait to see his rematch with the Raptor!
RelatingHen, Chapter 35 of JTAC was cool, it was nice seeing how Nal and Dorack ended up on Snowball. So it was all because of a meteor, what bad luck. I honestly thought it would be interference from another person. Anyway it was also cool seeing them befriend that Rex, and I’m interested to see how 36 and 37 will go.
