Alpha Tridacna

The Alpha Tridacna is the Alpha version of the Tridacna, a giant clam on the Aquatica expansion map in ASE. It never moves and only attacks when provoked. It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. Players fight it for Element and for a pearl that gives a permanent buff.

Where to find it

It sits on the sea floor of Aquatica. Known spots include a cave near the Depths Trench, a trench in the corrupted biome and a brine lake.

Uses

• Element: it drops 10 Element when killed.
• Pearl buff: after the kill, a nearby clam opens and gives a colored pearl with XP and a permanent buff. Red gives hyperthermal resistance, green gives underwater stamina regeneration and a smaller aggro range, and blue gives underwater breathing.

Tips

• Melee only: ranged weapons do no damage to it.
• Stay mounted: its attacks cause torpor, and it traps nearby players and tames for a few seconds.
• Tames: a small Megalodon pack, a Basilosaurus, a Tusoteuthis or a Mosasaurus all work. It cannot follow you, so pull back and heal when you need to.
