Tips & Strategies

To tame a space dolphin you will need element sometimes you may need alot, you find them in the space biome in Genesis part 2
First pet it,it will swim away don't worry just follow it, once it slows you pet it again(try to avoid hiting their head or you will bounce away) then you can feed it 1 element and it will swim away again,once slows again pet it 2 times and fed it 3 element it will swim away again, once slows again pet it 3 times and feed it 5 element it will swim away, once slowed again pet it 3 times and feed it 10 element, repeat till tamed the element increments you feed it go 1,3,5,10 then repeat
Be Carful Of Viodwryms (tek wyverns) while out there, they are very aggressive and agroo range is very far so be carful
If the one you want is in a group you can pet the ones you don't want to get them to swim away and leave you alone
Their saddle unlocks at level 120 you may be wondering how to get the saddle engram if level 105 is max level, we'll to get higher level you can either ascend on alpha any map for 15+ max levels, (I find manticore on scorched earth to be easiest way to ascend) find all explorer notes on all story maps for 10+ max levels, and you can also use chibis, kevel up the chibi and it will allow you to gain more max levels
Happy asking

More Astrodelphis Taming & KO Tips
First, make sure no voidwyrms are nearby, as they will try to kill you. Next, pet the Astrodelphis. Finally, put element in the last slot of your hot bar and start feeding it to the Astrodelphis. Thanks for reading my tip!
Tame during purple drop and you will get 100% taming effectiveness like to get this known
I know no one will see this but I love you
U have to pet it and feed element. The amount of element goes up each time u have to feed, but the taming bar will fill up faster. Easy element u can gather by using an anky or pickaxe on the blue crystals in the space between the bridges. In the center of the map
Swim up to the dolphin until it notices you. If it squeaks, you're in business, if you see red sparks from it's blowhole and it screams, you're in trouble. Keep hard element in your final hotbar slot. Dolphins aggro every other dolphin when fed. Make sure the one you want is alone. Always keep the dolphin between you and the direction you want it to go, because it will run away occasionally and you don't want it running into a pack of other dolphins or a wyrm. Sometimes they swim away after 3 pets, 2 pets and a feed, or just one pet. The bite during taming doesn't hurt much so just stay away from the mouth. The bite during true aggro hurts a lot.
Biggest tip: when the dolphin swims away STAY RIGHT ON IT because the taming bar will absolutely plummet 5-10% every second if you don't pet it fast enough. Because of this bring way more element than you'd expect to use. Around 3 stacks of 100 each should be enough. You never know when you'll have to reposition your target or avoid hostiles so be prepared to lose some progress.
Update: as a baby raising, they eat meat and fish. Not element like it is to tame.
Kill all the ones in the pod except the one you want pet it then grapple it with a grappling hook and tame like a crystal wyvern
BEWARE OF FOOD DROPPING. Not sure if it is a glitch but within a minute or so of taming it was starving. Filled with with a few stacks of meat and it ate them all and starving within another few minutes. Bring extra meat.
