Astrodelphis
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.
Knock the Astrodelphis unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 0.1/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.
| Food | Food Quantity (Current/Max) | Taming Time | Effectiveness |

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Astrodelphis at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Astrodelphis sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The Astrodelphis bleeds 0.1 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.
Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Astrodelphis across various creature levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Astrodelphis first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap.
