Cementing paste is an important resource in Ark Survival Ascended. They can be used to craft a variety of items in-game that are very useful and can seriously speed up the pace of progress.

Ark Survival Ascended (ASA) Achatina Taming Guide: How to tame & get it?
Achatina is a small snail-like creature in ASA. They are passive, very slow, and a common knockout tame. They have interesting mechanics where they passively produce achatina paste (cementing paste alternative) when left to wander after being tamed.
How to tame them?
Taming them is very easy. The hard part is where you have to go to tame them. The swamp is one of the scariest and most dangerous biomes in all of Ark Survival Ascended’s The Island map. Going there without being prepared is essentially a death warrant. Well, to find an achatina, you will have to head over to the Swamp biome. It will really help if you have a creature that can get you in without a Kapro pouncing on you or a Sarco sneaking up on you. Here are a few coordinates you can visit to find an achatina in-game:
- Latitude: 71, Longitude: 43
- Latitude: 70, Longitude: 52
- Latitude: 60, Longitude: 62
The easiest way to tame the snail is to find it and knock it out. You can use a tranq dart or crossbows (we recommend the darts) because of how little health they have. Once knocked out, you will have to feed them a Sweet Vegetable Cake to tame them. To craft it, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2x Giant Bee Honey
- 4x Sap
- 2x Rockarrot
- 2x Longrass
- 2x Savoroot
- 4x Stimulant
- 25x Fiber
- 1x Water
Once you have all the ingredients, head over to the cooking pot, and craft it.
Tips and tricks for the tame?
Their shell tends to reduce the damage taken. You ideally want to aim for the head or around the shell. This will help you knock it out sooner and deal less damage. The best way to tame the achatina is to drag it out of the swamp and then keep an eye on it. You can pick it up with a Pteranodon so it shouldn’t be too hard to do. When it is out, tame it and leave it to wander in an enclosure. Now it will start generating paste for you.
Achatina paste is a perfect substitute for cementing paste. They can be used alternatively to build the same structures or items.
