How ARK players tame and knock out the Achatina: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

Knockout and then but veggie cakes in it inventory and yeah pretty simple

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…

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.

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.

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.

Just found out today they can mate if you put them on wandering in a cage.

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…

I found these still only tame as base rates during the evo event.

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

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.…

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.
