Superior Kibble
Overview
Archelon is a large aquatic herbivore found in deep ocean environments. It gains a temporary boost to toxin harvesting and damage resistance after killing a jellyfish, making it a specialized bio-toxin gatherer. Players tame Archelon primarily for efficient harvesting of Bio Toxin from jellyfish swarms.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.

More about taming the Archelon
Archelon is tamed passively by feeding it while it eats. Superior Kibble is the best food for taming and provides the fastest results. Bio Toxin also works, though less efficiently.
About 10 Superior Kibble are needed. The tame takes around 2 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Archelon takes 100% more damage from spike walls and 200% more from small ranged turrets, making these highly effective in defense. It is weak to explosive and melee raid damage, including metal weapons. Avoid using projectile-based weapons, as it has 50% resistance to those impacts.
The head takes normal damage, while the body takes only 50% damage. Aim for the head to maximize efficiency during combat or knockout attempts.

Experience
- After killing a jellyfish, Archelon gains the Jellyfish Energy buff, increasing Bio Toxin harvest by 60% and reducing damage taken by 25% for 90 seconds.
- The Jellyfish Energy buff also increases damage dealt to jellyfish by 50%, improving clearing speed.
- Use Archelon to farm Bio Toxin efficiently from Cnidaria-class creatures.
- Its bite attack has a range of 8 meters, allowing safe harvesting from a distance.
- Archelon is weak to explosion and raid melee damage, so avoid combat with Tek or metal-equipped enemies.
