What are tips for astrocetus? Tips and strategies for astrocetus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It says that a lvl 1 astrocetus can’t be knocked out by cannonballs cuz it says NaN chance of death
Use a mek with a connon which may be acquired by tek replicator which u can get through 2nd or 3rd level loot crate
If you do not yet have the Tek Skiff, use the Tek Mek cannon and a blood stalker to knock it down. Depending upon your max level, the mek may not take it down in one shot. My wild max is 300 so I'll use a rocket at first to deal the difference in torpor and finish it with the mek cannon. Keep in mind that rockets, cannon, and Tek Mek deal splash damage so it will not come out to a perfect tame. Use a long neck to shoot and lure the whale. Once it's facing you from a reasonable distance, shoot the rockets to deal the difference in torpor and the mek can finish it. The base mek cannon deals 25k torpor. If you have a blue print, it will deal more in one hit. I personally recommend the mek over the skiff as it's less likely to run away with mek vs the cannon and cannon ball method.
KO with Mek Rockets...got a 130 and 145 down on official..both kibble tamed but only got 17% effectiveness...maybe need skiff or cannon for higher?
Why did it die in like two seconds after I knocked it out
2 taming methods for these whale bois. If you want a high level space whale, use a TEK skiff mounted with a canon and a buddy for better effectiveness. The other method is to get your mek off extinction, use the cannon module, and blast it's face. Under NO circumstance be that one person who can't actually play the game, and go up to it's face and use force tame like a sucker. -TheForceTameSpiter
Moves slowly so M.S.C.M is a good idea
Rocket launchers sick for taming these
You can ko this with rocket launcher but after 3 shots he tp away
I did not know how to tame the fcking whale wow use force tame
To the guy who said it takes 93 years to tame this, a life well spent
50% effectiveness using catapult
Use a Mek to knock out 1 hit KO on anything below 200
When this first introduced I thought it should be huuuge and that you would have to remove like large ticks and other stuff to tame it almost like the pods that you have to do waves to get but to tame it
