What is a achatina used for? achatina utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Hello viewer this is everything you need to know about this large snail, or more commonly known as achintina. These gaint snails com in many shapes and sizes. It’s rare to see these snails anywhere else besides the swamp. They are incapable of fighting back if harmed and they will retreat. As you could tell by the name they are snails, meaning they have the slowest movement speed in the game. So they are able to hide inside there she’ll and shield themselves from dmg of any kind. Taming is large risk as this creature spawns in the swamp lands. The swamp is very dangerous and filled with arks most dangerous and aggressive creatures such as the karposuchus and titanboa. When taming these guys only eat cakes of some kind. When it comes to knocking it out use tranq arrows to bring the creature down. Even it its shell it won’t stop the tranq chemicals from whering the creature down. Once knocked out feed it the cakes. And bam you have your little snail pet. You can also put hat gear of it.
Like said before, it produces cementing paste and organic polymer.
Pro tip 1: put it in a wooden cage and set it on wandering. He cant escape, and you wont have to build a pen.
Pro tip 2: put the organic polymer with oil in a cooking pot. I think its like 3 organic polymer and 3 oil to make soap. Soap doesnt spoil. When you need the polymer you can put the soap in the grinder and grind it for like 1 polymer for 1 soap. You lose some polymer but it doesnt spoil.
This is your go to creature on aberration, get like 2-4 and you don't have paste problems, in other maps you don't need them cause the bieverdams give more and it's annoying to hand feed them every time sweet vegetable cake, that's the only thing they eat even after tame. Only tame low level ones! Unless you wanna stand next to it like 20 min, only level on hunger. If they have 100 paste (maximum) they produce organic polymer and and it takes longer time to spoil poly in their inventory. They are breed able but it don't work right now because you can't feed them cakes (you can't put it in their inventory) only with mea wings it's possible but you need A LOT OF CAKES it isn't worth it because taming one is easier. They are found in the swamp and redwood some times, in aberration they are in the blue zone and in the border of the blue and green zone. That's everything you need to know.
