Achatina

The Achatina is a massive snail, mostly used for its production of Cementing Paste, or as a pet. This creature produces its paste passively — and quite frequently — so many survivors keep them around their bases. However, its usefulness pretty much ends there, as it cannot attack and moves quite slow. The Achatina must be tamed violently.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Here is an overview of the achatina (aka snail.)

You can tame a snail exclusively with sweet vegetable cakes. When tamed they also only consume sweet vegetable cake. They can take anywhere from 1-8 cakes to tame. (Levels 1-150) They always tame with max bonus levels. Never hit…

I don't understand if it only eats cake then how does it survive in the wild? For every good ded does it get cake? These are questions that will never be answered

When tamed, the Achatina can produce Achatina paste, an alternative to cementing paste, passively when on wandering. You could also collect it when they are moving, their paste/slime will be on the ground shaped in a similar feces ball.

I recommend you find a wild one and trap it in an enclosure, it'll poop out cementing paste without you needing to tame it

I once knocked one out in the redwoods and got it to 85% when a carno came out and started eating him. He wouldn’t even re-agro onto me when i was hitting him.

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…

ONLY LEVEL UP ITS FOOD. Tame high level snails only, as they have high food stats. Cakes are expensive, so you want to go as long as possible without having to feed the snails.

Just tame 5 or 10 of these and put inside them a lot of Stone or something heavy so they cannot move when you put them into patrol. With that, they passively generated 100 achatina paste every hour. When you don't take those achatina paste, they start to generate organic…

You have to enable wandering for it to passively generate cementing paste, so build a small pen for them to slime around in then go collect your reward. Also, don’t use a feeding trough…The cake spoils too quickly for how hard it is to make, I recommend hand feeding them…

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.

Will only eat Sweet Veggie Cakes even after being tamed! Each cake fills the food by about 200. Poops paste as well as prudces paste in inventory but ceases production once 100 paste is in inventory. Increases organic polymer spoil timer by 3x
