Tips & Strategies
To get 100% effectiveness go to gen1, find an Astro and kit it to land, right before it runs into you out a behemoth gate and the door for it between you and it so it runs into it, then pop out a mek with the siege cannon module and shoot the top of its head and there you go 100% effectiveness Astro at the cheap price of of a behemoth, mek, M.C.S.M (siege cannon, and some cannon shells
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.
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
Easy with mek and cannon shell, ko'd a 120 and tamed out as level 152 or something, really cool dino!
You can actually knock it out with a Mek Cannon if you do not have the Tek skiff.
Obtain a Tek replicator from tier 3 crates in the shop, and craft the Mek from the engram
