Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • High health but modest damage — outlast it or kite while chipping it down.
  • Flyer — favour ranged weapons; melee-only mounts struggle to connect.
  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Astrocetus — Detailed Guide

The Astrocetus is the space whale of Genesis in ASE. It flies and swims, warps short distances and drops bombs, and its Tek saddle carries passenger turrets. That makes it a raid and Titan-killing mount as much as a transport.

Where to find it

It flies around the Lunar biome of Genesis: Part 1 and also appears on Genesis: Part 2.

Taming

A knockout tame. It stays in the air, so most players shoot it from a Tek Hover Skiff with cannons or from the back of a Megachelon. Feed it Raw Mutton or Extraordinary Kibble. A Dino Leash helps keep it in place.

Breeding

In ASE it cannot be bred.

Uses

  • Hyperdrive: a short warp that costs Cosmic Power, which regenerates over time.
  • Bombs: Bomber Mode drops Ambergris bombs that hit very hard, a strong tool against Titans.
  • Saddles: the Tek saddle seats three passengers on turrets that burn Element; a platform saddle lets you build on it.
  • Cargo: level weight and health for hauling.

Tips

Its speed drops sharply above about 55% weight. Do not warp near the map border, where riders can be pushed out and killed.
