You can knock it out with the cannon attachment on the mek
It prefers exceptional kibble, and you knock it out with a cannon which can be placed on the tek skiff.
In Genesis 2 you can use a Quetzal with a platform saddle armed with cannons to tame.
Use rocket launcher to attack it and then Frank it with tek bombs I might be weird but it is true
If u spawn it in just saying spawn it in not near ur base
Easy to knock out of you have skiff. I tried to use a cannon with a trap but it always wrapped before i could knock it out. I tried the rockets but that seem to didn't work either. The skiff knocks them out quick. Just be careful of the meteor shower. Lost a lvl 135 right after I tamed him.
U can knock it ouț using the canon of the MEK
I tamed one without a tek skiff or mek. Just alot of grapples to get up high, setup some foundations then place the cannon, lure him in towards you with a longneck rifle then fire the cannon when it’s close!
On Gen1 use a mek with the shoulder canon.
On Gen2 use a skiff with 3 cannons on the front, have all 3 pre-loaded and a bunch of canon balls in your inventory. The more ppl helping the better. Get close and fire fire fire, while appropriately moving the skiff backwards. Continue to reload and fire till it’s out.
set up a cannon somewhere nearby the cetus and shoot it with a gun to get its attention then fire into its face.
So, how I've been taming them without a skiff is figure out how many cannonballs it'll take less then or equall to 4 place down four cannons or 3 or how many itll take more then 4 place half the amount down (6 cannonballs/ 3 cannons, 5 cannonballs 3 cannons) load them up find your space whale gain aggro and run straight at the cannons (grappling hook helps for getting to cannons) the fire all as quickly as possible for 4 shots, for more then 4 fire them all (3 for 6 etc) reload and fire again as quicly as possible
Its much easier to knock out with a Mek cannon all you need is one shot to K.O. if you can make a mek on your server its the easiest method by far.
Ok imma just explain the tek saddle. It has 3 tek turrets, one on the top and two on the bottom, so it takes a total of four people (3 turret players and 1 driver) to man it. The tek saddle also allows the driver to shoot wherever the head is pointing, and the driver can drop tek bombs. Shooting from the turrets and head takes element, while bombing takes the snot stuff. In total, the thing is excellent for base raids, as it can shoot down all dinos in the air or on land, it can go under water and get them too, and it can bomb a base with a tek bomb. It’s rly fun :)
Something wrong if tamed with mutton.... It gain only 1 lvl after tame
