Tips & Strategies

Best strategy is gliding with a rock drake, aggro the whale and get to an asteroid, leave the whale hit the drake, use mek hit on face and let it starve, be sure to hit the whale while gliding or it won't aggro enough to follow you up to the asteroid
More Astrocetus Taming & KO Tips
To tame these, you have to learn WhΓ£le from, Dory.
Ahem.
"Ooo Ooo" "OoWaoooo" "Huff. Huff."
"Incomprehensible WhΓ£le Noises"
Then WΓ₯la! It is tamed!
Use a bloodstalker and a rocket launcher, jump around to its face and shoot it with rockets until it knocks out. Jump off the stalker and land on the whale to quickly feed it.
Go to kapro story section every one
Do not use rockets you lose over 50% taming effectiveness. Use a skiff and cannons
DONT AND I REPEAT DONT USE THE ROCKET LAUCHER ON THE SKIFF IT WILL DESTROY THE SKIFF AND KILL YOU
If you fall you will be teleported back to the nearest land mass. Just FYI. Used mek and kod 3 each with 1 shot to the head. Highest level 100 lowest level 25. Use hazmat suit to be able to move around in radiation and not burn to death. Bring med brews and stew to counter freezing.
The best way is to use the Tek skiff which you unlock after the boss fight(like the saddle) and have cannons mounted on it. Probably easier with multiple people
Don't use mek because the astrocetus takes first the torpor and then the damage. The effectiveness will go down.
We tamed a 130 with mek and Kibble and get a 136 -.-
I think the stronger the weapon the more you loose the effectiveness, so the "best" way is to knock out with rocket launcher.
It's the same effect with rock elementals.
Wildcard should repair that.
set up a cannon somewhere nearby the cetus and shoot it with a gun to get its attention then fire into its face.
