Astrocetus is a fantastic creature in Ark Genesis that has abilities like warping through hyperspace. This creature is found throughout the space of the Lunar Biome, and as this region is a radiation zone that both over-freezes and overheats, we recommend equipping the Hazard Suit.
It is considered a high-tier creature, so taming it is not a bad choice. This comprehensive guide will give you all the details about finding and taming Space Whale/Astrocetus in Ark Genesis.
How to Tame Space Whale in Ark Genesis?

Before taking care of the taming, you must have the hazard suit and hover skiff with three cannons, one in the front facing forward and two in the back facing backward.
Now, start flying to find yourself a space whale. Once you get the creature at the required level, shoot it with a tranquilizer dart or long-neck rifle to get its attention.

Fly to a short distance and then aim the creature with the cannon. Note that low-level whales will get knocked out with one cannonball only, while the high-level ones take more hits. After the creature is unconscious, take your skiff near it to begin the taming process.

Put Extraordinary Kibble into its inventory to begin the taming process. You can knock it out using Tek Mek if you don’t have the skiff.
