Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a achatina? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a achatina.
Idk why butvsometimes they drop angler gel and the creatures that got angler gel more consistently are my dire wolves
Had to knock it out on switch to tame it. Super high torpor rate. Still eats veggie cakes
Fight them and block the enemies attack
with the shell
While you are taming achatha it will tell you to put food the it's inventory but the taming effectiveness or taming bar won't go down
For anyone wondering like I was on why it’s not eating the berries you put in it’s inventory after it’s been tamed is because yes they do still need the vegetable cake. As soon as I put the cake in its inventory it started eating it.
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
My advice is to catch him with the argent and take him out of the swamps
NOT TRUE that you can use a grappling hook on snails on PVE servers. I tried.
When taming. It takes about 200 food for it to eat a piece of cake.
Pick it up so you can shoot him from under where he is more woneralble
I picked up a “snail” in the redwoods with my “pterodactyl”, and dropped it in my base (surrounded by spike walls). It wondered around and dropped cement paste for a while, but it kept trying (unsuccessfully) to escape... so I built a wooden platform with 3 window walls and a door, & dropped it in with my “pterodactyl”. I could stand outside the window and grab the cement paste before I was able to tame it (with 10 cakes). Very handy companion. I’m trying to make a tree platform and you need like 1,000,000,000 cement paste to do it...
Use a tranq dart and aim for the soft butt or head. Wait 5 to 10 seconds between shots, less wasted ammo, faster KO and less likely to kill. Easy to keep up with, kill everything on the ground around it to ensure a safe start. After KO add cakes and sleepy stuff (narcoberries, narcotic, or bio toxin) stand a bit away incase you are attacked so you don't kill it accidentally. I fly argy when taming snails since usually attacked by troodons and little thieves.
Dear WHAT ARE CAKES?!
You need to make Sweet Vegetable Cake. Learn in engrams.
Important tip! They only eat cake! So level up their hunger so they can go a long time without food!
Tame a low level one. No difference in drops from a lvl 15 one and a lvl 300 one. Just be careful that you don't accidentally kill them while trying to knock them out
Better make sure you have a refrigerator for the tasty cakes
Sweet vegetable cake is the preferred food for Achatina
The ultimate paste maker. Tame this for 20 organic polymer and 100 paste per hour. This creature is a strong bargaining chip for scorched tribes. All lv ups should be food! It had to have food to live and is isolated from war so no need.
I repeat........They don't eat food inside the cave in mobile.
Why is it so cute oh my god I love it

Must be set to wander to produce paste. Rarely moves anyway. Roughly 1 CP produced per minute in it's inventory. Can stack to 100. Also randomly produces organic poly as well. Having 2-3 of these will give you an over abundance of CP in just a few hours.
