If so, head to the planet of Ruhnuk and get your hands dirty in this fun secret achievement quest called Tineback Tamer!<\/p>\n<h2>Spoiler-Free Hints<\/h2>\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll be going over how to earn the secret Tineback Tamer achievement. If you want to find the achievement yourself I\u2019ll give you the spoiler-free version first:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You will need to<strong> find a way to attract a young Tineback<\/strong> to you on the planet of Ruhnuk. I wonder what they like to eat?<\/li>\n<li>A true tamer catches more than one creature&#8230; but be careful, I&#8217;m sure whatever snack you find will wear off over time!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s the spoiler-free version, now let\u2019s get in to the guide!<\/p>\n<h2>How to get the Tineback Tamer Secret Achievement<\/h2>\n<p>While you are running around Ruhnuk after unlocking all the quick travel points, carefully mouse over any green Lambro (cactus) you see. If one of them glows blue and turns your cursor from an arrow to a hand and has a tooltip called &#8220;Overripe Fruiting Lambo&#8221;, it&#8217;s part of the Tineback Tamer secret achievement!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27086 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lambro-cactus-clickable-overripe-fruiting-lambro.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lambro-cactus-clickable-overripe-fruiting-lambro.jpg 604w, https:\/\/swtorista.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/lambro-cactus-clickable-overripe-fruiting-lambro-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The goal is to find 3 clickable lambros &#8211; but they&#8217;re rare to find, and disappear once you click them. So the idea is to find three first without clicking them, and then run around and click them quickly, because you&#8217;ll be on a timer, and will just be wasting clickable cactus if you haven&#8217;t tracked three down first!<\/p>\n<h2>Overripe Fruiting Lambo Locations<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve put together a map of all the lambro locations I have found so far.
