Overview
The Astrodelphis is a medium-sized flying carnivore with a unique passive taming method centered around petting and feeding it Element.
It gains affinity through repeated interactions, requiring players to chase it down after each feeding as it swims away. This makes taming a dynamic, active process unlike standard knockouts.
It is primarily used for its ability to gather resources while ridden, particularly with its powerful BlowHole attack, and its resistance to certain damage types enhances survivability in combat.

More about taming the Astrodelphis
Astrodelphis come to you on their own. Pet one twice and then feed it Element. It bolts or headbutts you after the first pet, so be ready to follow it, and it swims off for sixteen seconds after a mistimed pet while your progress keeps draining. Alternating pet and feed as fast as you can react is what keeps effectiveness up, and other Astrodelphis nearby may turn hostile when you feed.
To tame an Astrodelphis, approach it and pet it repeatedly, then feed it Element. After each feeding it swims away - chase it down and pet it again quickly or taming progress drops rapidly. Repeat the pet-feed cycle until fully tamed.
The process requires approximately 112 units of Element and takes around 56 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.
