Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a astrocetus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a astrocetus.
You can use a rocket launcher to knock it out
Until fixed, every level only requires 7 extraordinary kibble
Easiest way to tame this creature is to use a mek with a m.s.c.m launcher one shot and it will knockout!
Tek skiff+ Rock turret= tame space whale
Got all these comments but not one says to use cannon stryder with two behemoth gates place one down prior of whale going into it then place one after whale is stuck.
it is 2 cannon balls on a 130, not 4 i had a ruined tame because of this
Tamed a level 50 by kiting it to a cannon on a ledge
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
Actually pretty easy to tame/knock out. Slap some cannons on a tek skiff, hit it's head a couple times (hitting other areas won't do torpor damage)and when it is knocked out, simply feed it some extrodinary kibble or meat and BOOM! You have yourself a giant space whale! Now mine some ambergris as ordance and build a tek saddle and you should have a fully functioning B-17 Carpet Bomber with gunner turrets. (You cannot breed them, so be careful!)
Hover Skiff makes this easier but isn’t necessary! They aggro very easily to player structures, I got my first one mad at a stone dino gate on the ground. Once it’s stuck to the gate, put a couple cannons down (this is important- they’ll run away faster than 1 cannon in most cases) and put em to sleep. 2-3 cannons and 3-4 cannonballs.
If you use RPGs make sure you have more of them they will break possibly also be quick to use a mek siege cannon that's effective this guy will teleport away if you dont knock him out quick. also if you use a cannon on a hover skiff make sure your not flung off by this guy. Your welcome.
Use a cannon to knock it out with a rocket launcher it’s one hit from teleporting or before it dies
I tame this one always if i am in genis 1/2
How i do it:
1. Build a hover skift
2. Build one front canon and 2 back canons
3. Shoot the whale it follows you so you turn your back to him and fly a little bit away and aim with the Canons on its head and shoot
Used a cannon mounted on a pillar and ceiling on official, shot in the head and knocked out after agro-ing with a bloodstalker to the cannon
Just use a mek rockets well veno did on season 2 dingle cup! To tame these!
It's easier with with the back-cannon of the mek... Let it fly towards you and then shoot on his head, doesn't matter how the lvl is, it's always a an one-shot
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).
u will need a hover and cannon for it
stop saying skiff is best way, siege cannon better
Only gets extra levels from kibble tame.
