Taming

For general info about domesticating a wild creature see Taming.

KO Strategy

Since damage is significantly reduced by the shell, it is best to hit it on the soft, fleshy parts instead. If it takes enough damage, it will retreat into its shell, making it very easy to kill it before the torpor from tranquillizers can knock it out. Be mindful of how bloody the Achatina gets, and use Shocking Tranquilizer Darts or normal Tranquilizer Darts to minimize this risk.

Can be tamed using vegetable cake

Feed a mouse a cookie and he'll want milk. Passive feed a snail cake in the swamp and he'll want to lure you to some Kapros. They eat sweet veggie cake which is such a pain to get and really picked the worst place to vibe in all of 'dismounted Ark' (Not on a dinosaur) Bring cake and a shotgun, plus a few bolas and you'll be covered in Sacro Scales and Kapro hide while the little bugger munches on his cake. Pros: Snail, CP (Cementing paste not, you know Chris Hansen favorite bait) Cons: Bugger is like the Kim K. Of expensive foods and somehow always sneak out of their pens (That or my tribemates think it's funny to move him). I'd put him in a cage but I'm a big time builder an- sidetracked... Snail go sloop and swamp go brrrrr bring a shotgun. 10/10 tame of course though -Racc Ark Veteran

You can pick up Achatina's with a flying mount to bring them to a safe area to tame

You can put a hat on it. I like to add the Santa hat to a flak helmet and put it on it.

The narcotics required are more then displayed. Bring extra

After you tame this it only eats the cake still, be sure to make it every so often for its food

Get the cake fist . capture it after words because it will excape

Not aggressive, carryable by argent. KO with gun dart, feed veggie cakes. Torpor drops fast so don't leave. If put on wander it will collect up to 100 c paste then organic poly. ONLY eats veggie cakes after tame. Sometimes status bar says they have no food in inv, just double check. Alternatively if you dont want to tame, you can leave in a pen but it will only drop 1 paste and a time and you have to pick them up individually. Updog please

How to tame: just feed it veggie cakes

The Achatina is a Knock-Out tame, using the expensive resource of Sweet Vegetable Cake. Using a taming pen is the most suitable strategy, due to the Achatina being found in the Swamps and Redwood Forests, some of the more dangerous areas of the ARK. Plus, because of the size of the Achatina, it is easily able to be carried by all ridable flying mounts, expressing the fact that a taming pen would be the best way to tame this critter.

THEY ARE BREEDABLE!!!! But before you breed them get some giant bees!!!!

Well getting polymer from them is as easy as just tame them set them to wandering 2 or 3 in group with some crops citronal rockarrat or savroot and get offline for a minute 1 minute you'll get 300 organic polymer now making it polymer is also easy in casual mode just craft a thing needing polymer like structure industrial grinder And destroy it you'll get polymer instead of organic polymer subscribe to my channel THE GAMING DUDE YT for more

A unique/cheap way to knock these guys out. Lead a titainboa to them. Doesn't kill them, only KO's them.

You say “ I NEEEEED CP BUT I HAVE NO SWEET CAKES TO TAME THE SNAIL!!!!”

I say “ just build a pen, pick the snails up on a flyer, drop ‘em in the pen and you are all set...

Make wooden cages to store them in. Makes for easy access for your cementing paste, indoor or outdoor !

Do not starve tame. They don't eat instantly and they will starve to DEATH before they recover enough. I promise

They eat more narcotic then cake don't starve guys. Tame 6 low lvl u should always be fine with cp

When taming low level Achatina you may need to feed it a cake immediately after falling unconscious as their health decreases until they eat which often results in death.

If they take too much damage they will retreat into their shell with a similar effect as a doed.

Commonly found in swamps, but while less common, are easier to tame in redwood forests, which is the other place you can find them
