On The Island, which is currently the only map in Ark Survival Ascended, you’ll find the Achatina along the marshy streams and swamps along the center strip of the map. You can also find them in the cave in the 70,30 square, and in the cave at the 50,80 square. The Achatinas in the Redwood forest and along the marchy streams are easier to come across, even if they are less common in those areas.
