Grand Tortugar

The Grand Tortugar is a giant tortoise from ASA's Astraeos with a tall shell whose sides open and close. Tamed, it is an armored carrier that walks the seabed. It shelters its passengers and gathers Black Pearls quickly.

Where to find it

It lives only on Astraeos, along the reef shores of Pyranthos and on small islands in the southwest of the map.

Taming

A knockout tame. Use a Longneck Rifle with Tranquilizer Darts or Shocking Tranquilizer Darts and aim for the head or soft underbelly, not the shell. It does not drown while unconscious, so knocking it out in water works. Feed it Raw Meat, Raw Mutton, Raw Prime Meat or Superior Kibble.

Breeding

• Egg: hatches in about 3.5 hours.
• Temperature: 54 to 60 °C in our data.
• Growth: a baby matures in about 3.2 days at 1x.

Uses

• Transport: one rider and three passengers. A closed shell protects them from dismounts, most projectiles and oxygen loss.
• Pearls: its bite harvests Black Pearls from black clams and cuts their weight by 90%.
• Tank: soaks damage while others attack from range.

Tips

The saddle unlocks at level 43 and the Platform Saddle at level 52. Underwater it walks at 80% speed without using oxygen.
