The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Astrocetus at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Astrocetus. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Astrocetus unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Astrocetus bleeds 0.45 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your Astrocetus tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Astrocetus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Astrocetus is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.
