Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a achatina? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a achatina.
They can wear hats!!!
If you are considering breeding these, go slam your hand in a car door a few times. It will be much less painful. Literally one veggie cake per percent of growth....and it grows slow.. Digests roughly one point of food per second, so feed a cake about one for every 7 mins (during event boost) and it will gain one percent of growth.
U CAN GET CAKES THROUGH CHEF STATION ON MOBILE!
I like to make note that this is a knock out tame
Do not starve tame. There is a cool down on the veggie cakes that don't allow it to eat them as quickly as needed.
And their not breedable! Why. I want baby achatina!!!!
If you are playing Official PvE, you can grapple them with a grappling hook and then fly or walk them back somewhere safer for them to be knocked out, such as your base for example.
Has a high torpor drain ASA. Up for all to see.
Pick it out of the swamp with pterodactyl and plop it around your base
As of 12/20 it took 15 shots (5 tail 10 head) to knock out a 150 and 9 veggie cakes. The head, tail, or she'll shots don't seen to make a difference anymore.
Get a male and female and never worry about making veg cakes again. They produce babies much faster than they starve, and you’ll get exponentially more paste!
Just remember to claim each new baby and set it to wander. And one of the high rated posts says you can’t breed them, you can now.
How does slime get bola-d? I need to know
Just found out today they can mate if you put them on wandering in a cage.
I found these still only tame as base rates during the evo event.
Infinite cementing paste hack:
Step1: make 5 cakes
Step2: blast some random sail in the head and feed it
Step3: Name it “Gary”
Step 4: set to wander
Step 5: lock it up in a cage for the rest of its worthless life and throw the key in a industrial grinder
They worth the veggie cake. It gives 100 paste and organic polymer. Just level up their food so they won't be hungry fast.
I have 2 bee hives and 7 tree sap taps (important to make veggie cakes). I can produce more cakes than what my 2 achatina can consume at a time. Now, I never run out of paste and have a lot of veggie cakes (I needed separate refrigerator just for my cakes)
Be very carful of health when you tame them because they don’t fight at all you can pick one up from swamp and shoot it once and kill if it was being attacked by something before
If you want to tame it on a swap, but you're afraid that you will get sneak attacked by any of the 3 horseman of the swamp, just kidnap it with a preta and land it near your base, then you tame it without many troubles.
Dont tame it unless you have tons of cake
Guys ,achatina eat berry only with a mod
I think it's krakens better dino you can't feed it berries in vanilla ark be aware! They will require so much cake so better not tame one . hope this was helpfull it's my first time writing a tip •~•
