this is a literal jet when it have a saddle on
Very dangerous
After about 1 minute of nothing happening, the Astrodelphis will start to lose taming progress, however, I have found that this does not affect taming efficiency. Nor does letting the Delphis knocking you back affect efficiency. Just keep in mind to be aware of your surroundings as you can be surprise attacked by a voidwyrm.
To get 100% taming it must be tamed during purple drops this is when element and element shards are the asteroids resource. It was so fast took like 10 element and got 100%
This is the dolphin spaceship thing
It says it’s aquatic but we all know that it is a space dog
Passive tamed with element. Pretty much the same as passive taming a Diplo, they will attempt to play with you by knocking you back while doing 0 damage. Best strat is to wait for it to get stuck somewhere or kite it by staying next to it. The more element it ask for the more effective that feeding will be, typically I’ve seen them ask for 1, 3, 5, or 10 element at a time in that cycle on a slightly boosted server but could be more on official. Bring plenty of element as they do take quite a bit the higher the level. Thankfully element farming is easy, Saddle is unlocked at level 120 so no boss fight needed to get it, however you will have needed to do the Overseer, Rockwell, or Master controller in alpha, plus get a chibi to max to unlock the saddle.
I fed a 150 1 element and it got .9% tamed on official 1x
Depending on where the astrodelphis is within the space biome, you can trap them to tame them. 5 dino gates + 2 doors. Spaced wide enough for you to get through. In my case I used a combination of tek and metal gates and doors. Built the trap on the ship itself, not on any asteroid. Set the tek door to close after 4 seconds. Kited it down, bit me a few times but trapped her and floated above her petting and feeding element. Much easier than chasing her around. Not my idea, credit goes to youtuber Nappy_Playz.
If you have seen the one picture of leaks in ark genesis it looks like a space race car kinda
Don't mess with them if they are in pods. Once they start squeaking best get ready to run or get attacked by pack boosted dolphins
3 Dino gates is all it takes to trap and tame.
And around 1-200 element for high lvls
If u mess up u can tranq it out easily and that will rest all previous taming measures
Currently at launch it often has a food glitch once tamed tyatvdrains 100% of its food instantly, do watch out for that
Feed it element to tame. Passive tame but will inflict damage at the beginning.
I suggest making a trap for it made of stone and having it follow you that way you don’t have to worry about it running away after you pet and feed it.
What I do... I use Helena to scan it to see its lvl bc I have trouble with the spyglass on space biome..I will aggro it and lure it into the bridge and take it up a bit so it stays out of the space biome and not have to worry about voidwyrms... once it is where I feel is far enough I will tek speed run away and leave render...I will then pet and feed it
