Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a astrocetus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a astrocetus.
It prefers exceptional kibble, and you knock it out with a cannon which can be placed on the tek skiff.
Moves slowly so M.S.C.M is a good idea
They destroy cannons when too close to you.
Using a Mel Cannon destroys the gaming effectiveness so use rockets or cannon balls. ~Whoo1
They’re glitched right now. Every time they teleport, they just disappear. Don’t try taming them until this is fixed
It only takes 9 kibble to tame a 140, please update
The astrocetus is a knock out tame and you have to hit its head with cannon balls to knock it out then put some kibble in its inventory to tame, the best method to knock it out is with a tek squiff with mounted cannons.
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.
In Genesis 2 you can use a Quetzal with a platform saddle armed with cannons to tame.
set up a cannon somewhere nearby the cetus and shoot it with a gun to get its attention then fire into its face.
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?
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!
You can knock it out with the cannon attachment on the mek
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.
Use rocket launcher to attack it and then Frank it with tek bombs I might be weird but it is true
Something wrong if tamed with mutton.... It gain only 1 lvl after tame
Easiest way is with a mek and the cannon weapon, it costs a bit to make but one shot to the face is usually all it takes to knock it out. Levels above 90 may take 2 shots. Best way to do it if you dont have the skiff unlocked from the boss battle.
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
