Shoot the actual body of the snail! Not the shell. The shell is like a plate of armor. Once you shoot it once with a dart it will go into its shell. Shoot from behind under the shell at its butt. Only eats vegetable cake! Once tamed you can harvest its slime as cementing paste!

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

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.

You dont need to tame one for paste just use flyers to put it in a room with no ceiling and it will walk around

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

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

Bring extra cake, it sometimes says too add food so taming drops a little ever so often. Doesn't effect level though

The achatina is obviously a slug with a sea shell on it. Wonder who found fossils of this cursed thing..

It eats veggie cakes, and fyi I don’t know how to make them. It has a high topier drain (comes conscious quickly) so watch out.

The mainly spawn in swampy areas alot the coasts (from what I’ve seen) and is a decent source of citchin.

They also somehow eat stones? Yeah idk.. Put a thousand stones it it’s inventory and set it to wander, trap it in a box and drowned it.

This is my first instructions list from a-y so please follow along in the next tutorial!

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

If you find any dead ones make sure to collet the body so more can spawn

Make sure you get to make a house on the first day or so

Shoot in the head not anywhere else.

If you do then it will be too affective.

I love this just make it so it counts the time. like if you push start it props you.

They often come up with no food and have very little health so make the cakes prior to downing or it will starve.
