Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a achatina? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a achatina.
They eat tasty cakes
If you want Sweet Vegetable Cake for these guys, be careful! You need Giant Bee Honey.
If you don't have the cake do as i say pick it up and lock it up somwhere it still procedes what you need but it just drops it instead of holding it in inv
Max food and u will feeding less frequently. Veggy cake also has fast spoil time. This will make feeding10 + much easier
They are breedable now. Dododex needs to add it!
Clear other creatures before attempting to tame
They only eat vegetable cakes after they are tamed so have a god supply of them before thaming one!
Lettuce does not work on P+ for taming
It can be knocked down with crossbow and eat veggie cake
When taming thiries make sure to have the Highground
If you just got them and they are on wander, keep them away from each other or a bunch of babies will be born.
Don't tame, take 20+ of these to your raft and then to the base. They will not despawn anywhere.
WARNING! SNAILS GESTATE!
Don't mate them if u aren't going to be on in 8 hours.
I love this gus and he is the best
Flying them back to base with a PT doesn’t work.
Had to knock it out on switch to tame it. Super high torpor rate. Still eats veggie cakes
Do You Want Cementing Paste, Tame The Achatina.
Starve taming doesn't work too well for 2 reasons
1. It's food bar may be small, so it may start losing health before it even gets close to tame time.
2. The cool down gap for eating cake, means that you need to factor in the eating time.
Hope this helps
Hello everyone! Today we'll be looking at the Achatina.

- What is this creature? -
The Achatina is a snail that lives in swampy areas. It's completely harmless and easy to kill. However, if you don't kill it with one hit, it will crawl into its shell and can no longer be attacked. The same applies to wild creatures: if they don't kill the Achatina with one hit, they won't be able to attack it anymore.
There are two types of Achatina:
Normal Achatina
Aberrant Achatina (found on the Aberration map)
- How to tame? -
The Achatina can only be tamed with sweet vegetable muffins. Achatina can be easily stunned with a small number of darts (depending on its level). She wakes up fairly quickly, so bring at least 50 narcotics. Place a couple of sweet vegetable muffins (depending on her level) in her inventory and wait. There's a bug where Achatina eats a muffin without increasing her taming bar, so bring some muffins with you. Once Achatina wakes up, she can be carried by any flying creature, so you can carry her without cryocaps.
- Useful Tips -
Achatina is your home "cement" maker. She produces Achatina paste, which works like regular cement. There's a bug where when you log out and back in, Achatina's entire inventory is filled with her paste. However, for Achatina to produce paste, she needs to be wandering. To prevent it from escaping, build a wooden cage and place the Achatina in it, enable wandering, and enjoy a large flow of "Cement." The downside of the Achatina is that even after taming, it only eats sweet vegetable cakes. So, unless you have a large supply of resources for making cakes, taming the Achatina is not recommended.
- Loot -
Achatina loot is standard:
Raw meat
Chitin.
However, in Ark Survival Mobile Edition, Achatina also dropped Anglerfish Gel.
