As one would probably guess based on his imposing appearance, The Archelon is a powerful ally in battle. With a health pool as deep as the waters it inhabits, and immunity to stun and torpidity, it’s worth taming, especially when playing in small groups. This is because, due to its enormous size, The Archelon can fit four players on its back at once.
Since players cannot use rifles or bows underwater, they are better off equipping crossbows and harpoon launchers when riding an Archelon into battle.
