This is the best Dino in the whole entire game
Velonasaur
The Velonasaur is a living turret in ARK: Extinction with a unique turrent-like spike-shooting attack. It can be enabled while you are not riding it. It also has the ability to swing its body back and forth to attack preys.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Velonasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Their ranged attack is only effected by melee damage when ridden. If used as a turret (which is what these things are best at) then only do health and stamina. Even a freshly tamed 224 can handle blue and yellow drops alone.
Upgrade melee on your mount, the rest just do…

Upgrade melee on your mount, the rest just do health and stamina. A ridden imprinted velo can do literal thousands of damage per second, and a decent turret can do it’s dps (shoots about five times a second I think, so 100?) for about thirty seconds.
If you don‘t be to close he wouldn‘t attack you.
You can easily tame one with a friend on a crystal wyvern, just pick the velo up and hover for someone to tranq it. You can also use a normal wyvern but crystal wyvern are easy to tame
Pump all levels into stam, melee and movement speed and put on a quetzal plat form saddle put on aggressive and you have yourself a FRICKIN FIGHTER JETTTTTT
About this thing to go up to 2,000 damage per Spike. Damage
2k armor renders its attacks useless.
Shreds elementals like paper as it ignores almost all of its armor.
A living breathing turret.
Also powerful
Make sure to have two people once it shooting at one the other shoots the velo and don’t think it’s tranqed when it runs away it’s getting more space to shoot you from but once you have two females and a male just keep breeding them
It will spread through you armor but had a HUGE nerf
82-90°F is the required temp yo hatch an egg from these guys. Definitely need to let dododex know it needs to include this into the data.
The babys eat VERY much meat when you leave them alone
I tamed it by walking my enforcer straight up to it, glitching it's head in my body
If you can get these guys under you when your on a cliff they can't hit you so you have the perfect opportunity to knock them out.
Great for PVP, Especially on Boosted Arks, considering you can get a high damage. Easy way to tame is to have a snow owl and freeze it then have a friend trank it!
If you're gonna use these in turret mode, LEVEL THEIR STAMINA! They deal a fixed amount of damage in turret mode so levelling Melee Damage won't do much good. Make sure you have a tek trough full of raw meat nearby, because they go through meat like it's going…

Make sure you have a tek trough full of raw meat nearby, because they go through meat like it's going out of style when recovering stamina. Having a greenhouse growing Plant Species R-1 is recommended if you don't wanna go out and hunt.
The best way to tame this thing is legit net it and kick it in the face with a horse untill it loves you
can someone start submitting tips on saddles like blueprints and where to get good ones on all dinos
It was my first tame as soon as you can get a boomerang in the desert just find a cliff where it can't shoot and boom you got yourself a velonasaur
Just use rhe net gun and tranq arrows with a prime bow easiest tame with insane damage if you get a good breeding line afterwards and torp is really low so knocks out fast even high lvls
