So, after doing a whole bunch of testing. an easy way to tame a level 250 at most so far is four cannons on the ground 2 middle aimed up 2 and the side one aimed slightly in and up, find your target, gain aggro run and shoot rockets at it while luring towards cannons at the cannons wait till its almost too close for comfort and tun past your cannons firing all at once (less cannons and rockets during kiting for lower levels duh).
More Astrocetus Taming & KO Tips
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.
Tamed a 125 on official using primitive mek with cannon shell. 1st shot 1 bullet from tek rifle to get it to aim straight for me. Hop on mek, activate the cannon and aim straight at the head. 99.9 taming efficiency.
Ignore all these others as I've just done it 5 minutes ago. Used a bloodstalker to get in range 1st. Very easy . Solid headshot will knock even a high level out.
Make a mek > Make the cannon shell launcher > shoot whale with cannon shells in the HEAD ONLY > 1-2 shots will KO it > feed Light Blue Kibble
DONT AND I REPEAT DONT USE THE ROCKET LAUCHER ON THE SKIFF IT WILL DESTROY THE SKIFF AND KILL YOU
Do not use rockets you lose over 50% taming effectiveness. Use a skiff and cannons
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.
I have an ideia, involving rare flower, a rock bridge and 2 behemoth gates, wish me luck
I used a ufo with a canon didn't take long to knock out and was able to do solo
Taming with a mek makes it loose roughly 40% efficiency, if you have got a skiff its better to use that
