Tips & Strategies

This thing is the ultimate warship. Its saddle has three gun turrets that consume element when shooting. It has a bomber mode that drops a cluster of bombs below it, consuming ambergris as the ammo. It can pretty much warp you and your nearby allies instantly. Plus it has a platform where you can build structures, similar to the platform saddles weβve seen on Quetzals, Paracers, etc. The platform space is really small, but definitely workable.

Cool battle scenario
Setting: plains/hills, enemy base, raid mission
Creature 1: space whale (saddle, fully mounted with 4 people, several tek bombs ready, at least 2)
Creature 2: Yuty (mounted by human, able to scare away enemy dinos and buff allied ones, at least 1)
Creature 3: allo (mounted by humans, charging at base defenders, at least 4)
Creature 4: wyvern (mounted by human, escorting space whales, maybe carrying dodo bomb, at least 2)
Scenario: yuty roars, buffing the charging allos and scaring enemy dinos, allos charge and start taking out defenses. Space whales and wyverns arrive, and birds are sent to counter them and turrets start firing. The wyverns and tek turrets on space whales take out the enemy fliers. Other tek turrets take out enemies and turrets below. The space whales are now directly over the base, and drop their tek bombs. The allos have successfully taken out most ground defense and the base has been wiped out.

On PvE I use mine as fancy storage containers
Am I the only one who realized that the Astrocetus has a platform saddle?
The Astrocetus is a tamable, ridable massive space whale that resides in the Lunar Biome. It can warp through space, bringing anything around it with it. π
Astrocetus does indeed have a platform albeit very small it is a usable building spot probably for an additional turret or two.
Use a mek with canon to tame, 1 rocket to take down any lvl.
Very op in pvp as it can mesh across walls and annihilate TEK, however it is 100% useless in pve as of now, it is too slow and doesnβt have as much weight as a gasbag or a basilisk.
It could have use in pve if it was actually able to produce ambergris, as ambergris comes from whales in the lore, that would make magmasaurus breeding possible across your favorite ARKs.
Producing ambergris passively has to be implemented to give use to this creature in pve...
They also wonder around on their own, not sure itβs a BUG or if itβs intended, so leach or pod it.

These things are amazing at destroying metal and stone the bomb enters drop thing is so cool but need more stamina the teliport ability takes to much stamina
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. Itβs rly fun :)
You can build in a certain area on the saddle!
But they are extremely slow
