Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a archelon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a archelon.
You can raise babies using their algae.
Tame four or more high level Archelons, cryo them for a few days then release them and level them up in food only. Put them in water and harvest the Algae until you have 40+ stacks in a fridge. You should be harvesting almost two stacks per hour (@x1) . Breed them for eggs and incubate the eggs using a gigantoraptor. Hatch the eggs and immediately drop the baby then cryo it and release underwater. Manually feed them the Algae unit the hit juvenile. Then feed them Mejoberries from troughs.
Breeding tip babies either need to be in a gigaraptor saddle or in the water or their health plummits very fast by 0.1 growth. Sorry for the category as I didn't know where to put this under.
They will eat berries after taming
To find this wonderful creature, it has a chance to spawn near the Cnidaria. So if you find the jellyfish, you just might be lucky enough to find yourself one of these bad boys. Passive tame using superior kibble or Bio Toxin. Obviously the kibble will take less time, but use what you got.
Seen a few in the swallow waters around herbivore island, seems to be a common spawn point for them
Raising Archelon needs to be done in water. Also they're bugged similarly to when snow owls came out. They eatt berries and eat more and faster then a baby giga. If you thought you could walk away, you were wrong.
The first one I saw was on Lava Island on the Center, it was a 140 and I used it to perfectly tame a high level Pyromane because it's so slow and has a high health pool.
Passive tame. They like to spawn around jellyfish, so take a bary or basilo (your best bet). On center they are in the open water near skull island/redwoods. Superior kibble is really easy to make so just use that --AK
Just like a basi tame. Clear the area and feed superior kibble. Taming on 1x bring about 25 you should be able to tame any high level. (30 just to be safe)
A level 55 took roughly 5 and a level 90 took about 8 ish at 30 to 40 second intervals with superior kibble.
Traditional passive tame process.
I used Exceptional Kibble to tame two, even though the Wiki says Superior Kibble. Save yourself time and effectiveness by using kibble instead of bio toxin.

Do you absolutely despise Cnidaria? Do you wanna tame a Basilo but also don’t wanna to have to deal with the mantas that follow? Then the Archelon is the tame you need! It’s a passive tame and takes biotoxin,so you’ll have to commit murder against some Cnidaria. Keep your distance and keep feeding it biotoxin,and you’ll have yourself an Archelon in no time! It doesn’t exactly hit the hardest but it does have a ton of HP. Plus it can’t be stunned by Cnidaria and gets a buff like the Megatherium after killing Cnidarias as well as gathering more biotoxin.
Tame with exceptional kibble or superior and raise feeding the babies biotaxin in the water!!
Taming:
Passive Tame. Just feed it.
Don’t waste your time with Toxine.
Use Kibbles, save yourself a bit time and tame effectivness.
After Taming:
Make a ascendant saddle could be pain in the *ss.
No workbench can Hold the Ressources, you need, to craft this expensive saddle.. even a 3,3k weight Argy can‘t help you out.
A Replicator seems to be the only way so far.
Thx to Wildcard again for releasing again mediumrare shit.
They still rushing through their Roadmap.
100% Quantity instead Quality.
Passive tame using bio toxin. Can lure onto a beach and trap, moves slowly. Also bio toxin is good source and passively creates algae that can be used to tame herbivores.
About archelon:
-These turtles can be found deep underwater
-Are passive tames(feed them with biotoxin)
- Their saddles are multipassager, so you can bring yo
homies!
- You can make sushi with their algae(drops when killed),
wich can recover lost taming effectivness!
Hope this helped in anything!
If you don't have biotoxin to feed them, Superior kibble can be used instead.
Use a Baryonyx, use the gene scanner to locate them and kill the low level ones until a high level one spawns. A Baryonyx is also very good for killing other things attacking the archelon including the Cnidaria if you can handle doing a tail Whip at just the right time and it's at an ok time such that if it fails and your kicked off for while the baryonyx unstuns and kills them. Pull the high level ones on to land. On the centre there are small island with nothing them. Set the baryonyx on passive and low follow. The archelon will want to attack the baryonyx and will chase it. Now run around positioning your self behind it and to one side so it's constantly turning while chasing the baryonyx. Because of it large slow turning rate it won't catch up with the baryonyx and you will run have it running in circles in a safe spot while you run along side it taming it. If it hits the baryonyx it won't affect the tame. Just don't hit it back.
one kibble yields 10.8% of taming on a level 150 archelon. this means you won’t need more than ten kibble for any level. this creature also eats biotoxin at a lower taming rate, yet it is still effective!
