What are tips for velonasaur? Tips and strategies for velonasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Stone 2x2 with 2x high stone door ways, if you have something to carry it drop it in the top, if not than build stairs and lead it up. Or run/hover circles around it.
You can just either walk up to it and tank the hits with your body and armor ONLY if you have decent to good armor. Or you can use something that has good hp and tank it like that, preferably something that’s tacky, and you can use weapons on. They don’t take a lot to tranq out, can indeed use a prim 100% crossbow.
upgrade a dodos hp a lot the have it shoot the dodo instead of you
Okay, to Escape this, it's simple, take a argy and fly away. To battle it, a managarmr or a high level trike (for the shield for a head) and a daeodon on follow, and some flak and ghille as armor.
It's a really easy tame aggro it get it in turret mode then slap it with a boomerang
I found a level 11 of these. I walked in circles and hit it with a club, it only took 10 tries. Tip, use something better. I did end up taming it with a club.
Traps are overkill for taking these. A friend and I have a strategy where one tanks hits on a gasbag (anything with high health will do) and the other just tranqs it from the side. A person with a metal shield can work as a distraction too, but not for long. This is an effective strategy as velonasours have low torpor and will be knocked before it does too much damage.
For taming regular raw meat works to
They have a very bad melee attack if you have good enough armor or enough health you can beat them with clubs
What you want to do is tame a male and a female (high levels of course) then have them mass produce. When you have about 10-15 set pump them all into melee and stam and have them wander around the base. And have then on nuetral. So that way the next person to raid you will crash once all of the velonsaurs start shooting
If you play by yourself you can tame a velonasaur by using a tranq creature and tranqing it while constantly moving in circles to dodge its needles or by being on a rock/small cliff then tranqing it In my first time taming one I was on a cliff and the velonasour couldn't attack me I was using a slingshot so it was hard.one last way to tame it is to use a tanky creature and tranq it while your dino is risking his life
Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore to just run up to it and walk circles around it (it will stay in turret and shoot you till you're dead). Instead find a cliff and try shooting it from above so that it will shoot against the cliff instead of you.
