Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a astrodelphis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a astrodelphis.
Build a trap out of 4 or 5 dino gates in a line with a door at each end, then get the dolphin to follow you in closing the door behind it. Keeping it enclosed makes it much easier to not miss a pet or feed. Watch out for the time if you build on an asteroid because at midnight the asteroid will disappear!
The feeding cycle goes: pet-wait-pet-1element, pet-pet-3element, pet-pet-5element, pet-pet-pet-10element. It will then cycle back round.
Anyone know why I keep losing effectiveness everytime I feed it element?
Be careful, a bug made to the astrodelphis drain it's food after tame and can die, you should Wear meat.
A mix between petting and passive element feeding. Can be aggressive if you get too close
Grab it with a skiff so it stays in one place and fly it somewhere safe then tame it
I don’t know who else seen this bug but on boosted servers with increased taming speed it gets to 100% then doesn’t tame. I spent an hour feeding one over 400 element so I had to give up. Try it on your server I’m sure it may work but don’t waste as much element as me 😖
You tame this creature by giving it element once you have the element put it in the last slot of you hot bar pet it it can take several time so don’t get disceraged it will run away and you will have pet it again or give it element to tame after it is tamed give it MEAT don’t do the same mistake I did by giving it element after it was tamed
Ps. if other Astrodolphis see you feed their friends they will attack you
You can use the net gun on them too surprisingly.
Please can someone tell me what it eats as a baby? I can’t seem to raise them, they keep dying :-( I’ve tried element, shards and dust, nothing works please help
If you tame during a purple drop you’ll get 100% Taming effectiveness
To get maximum taming effectiveness, pet them from the top or the tail!
Petting them from the underside will cause them to boop you until you feed or pet them again, which sucks!
Sometimes they can even turn hostile or die!
By the way, you have to single out one if they’re in a pod. Feeding or petting one makes the others jealous…
Started taming a 135 on officials and 1 element did 0.9% taming so a 150 W should take around 120 element
Passive tame you get close it says pet then next time it wanted element in the last spot
Just grab it with your skiff and take it to the safety of the bridge. You can pet and feed it while you have it held by the skiff.
LVL 174 5 MIN SUPER EASY TAME NO TRAP! Okay so you gotta be fast, keep on its butt, underbelly or above, pet, pet, feed. Then it runs away, you chase it and repeat! DO NOT GET INFRONT OF IT! It will bonk you away! And do not take too long between pats and feeding otherwise it will call on its friends to kick ur butt !! 5 min later You got yourself a space dolphin!
First look around if there are voidwyrms nearby and kill them if there are.
Now use a grappling hook and shoot with it on his higher mount.
Then pet him and put element in your hotbar at 0.
Now feed him Element it works like this first he eats 1element then 2 then 3 then 5 and then 10 so bring many element.
Now you have your own space dolphin :D.
Step #1 to pet it and feed it come in on the side or the ass and pet/feed it, Step #2 chase it, repeat step #1 and try not to have it love bite u because if that happens it will lose taming efficiency and affinity
You can trap a dolphin in the bridges with 3 dino gates with doors on the outside 2 just sit there and spam y no need to worry about those dam wyverns or chase it the world.
I tried to trap tame on and it kept randomly taking damage but not affecting the health and the taming effectiveness kept going down and I kept resetting
If you want tame it easily, trap it with regular gateways (not the behemoths). I usually place 5
and then lure the Astrodelphis, it's pretty easy. Then i close the entrance with a door. The Astrodelphis won't be able to run away when you pet it so you won't lose % and taming efficiency :) i recommend placing the gates in the tunnels and not outside in the space biome. I hope it helps!
