Achatina
The Achatina is a massive snail, mostly used for its production of Cementing Paste, or as a pet. This creature produces its paste passively — and quite frequently — so many survivors keep them around their bases. However, its usefulness pretty much ends there, as it cannot attack and moves quite slow. The Achatina must be tamed violently.
How ARK players tame and knock out the Achatina: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.
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”…

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
Taming Bar slightly drops between each feeding interval as it haves a big which causes Achatina to “forget“ she still haves cakes in her inventory. So bring more then any calculator tells you. 140 wild one lost 0,8% with each interval
Takes 10 cakes on 1x for a lvl 20, not 9.
You can finds lots of these snails in the city on extinction
TAMING TIP FOR MOST ANIMALS
Run around on a galli with your friend driving and you on the back. Shoot the animal from the back of the galli, they’ll never catch up.
The ones in the caves on scorched earth are tameable
If you want one of the snails then get your pternidon to pick it up and bring it to an inclosed space. Now you dont need veg cakes! I did this and its given my alot of past ever sense. Sorry qbout my spelling it sucks.
In pve your able to pick up with an argie
Can be carried in the mouth of an argy on PvE for easy taming.
They only eat veggie cake so make sure you have a good supply on hand before taming one
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
