Archelon

The Archelon is a giant sea turtle in ASA. It is a slow but very tough ocean tank that seats up to five riders, gives air to divers and wrecks jellyfish. It is one of the best support tames for ocean taming and exploring.

Where to find it

It lives in the ocean on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Genesis Part 1 and Astraeos, from shallow water down to the deep sea. It is slightly more common on Ragnarok.

Taming

A passive tame only: it is immune to torpor and cannot be knocked out. Put Bio Toxin or Superior Kibble in the last hotbar slot and feed it by hand. Bio Toxin also heals it a little. The saddle unlocks at level 45.

Breeding

• Egg: hatches in about 5 hours at 26 to 29 °C.
• Growth: a baby takes about 7.7 days to mature at 1x.
• Water: a baby must be fully underwater within 5 minutes of hatching and stay submerged while it is young.

Uses

• Tank: high health and damage reduction.
• Jellyfish: immune to stuns, with 10x melee damage against Cnidaria.
• Air: its saddle gives air bubbles that refill the oxygen of nearby players.
• Algae: it produces Archelon Algae, used to tame herbivores and to make Algae Sushi.

Tips

Use it as the tank when taming a Tusoteuthis or Electrophorus, or to keep Megalodons busy while others work.
