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.
For an easy tame, let it hit one of your strong dinos whilst you light it up with tranqs. It’s close range attack doesn’t do much damage!
Use your surrounding! Go from rock to rock approach. Or pop up, fire, pop up, fire, until it’s down
I have a lot of fun with these, really great for OSBs, or just being in the extinction waste lands. you can just gun down anything that agros and it actually does good damage with its claws
I love this Dino because it have it all from needles shooting to crowd control to speed runner to jumping Dino and you can make this Dino guard you or your base no gas or electric need
These things can dismount u off of ur flyer if it hits u too many times or stops u from lifting off the floor if ur landing, beware guys.
Velonasaurs are just cheap turrets put them on a platform saddle on a quetzal with a feeding trough and there you go infinite ammo
From my experience the higher level ones are always in the lower safer area of the desert dome near the desert titan cave entrance watch out though there are rumble golems and mantis there, in the cave.no special way to tame them and no technique just move towards one with a…
From my experience the higher level ones are always in the lower safer area of the desert dome near the desert titan cave entrance watch out though there are rumble golems and mantis there, in the cave.no special way to tame them and no technique just move towards one with a cactus broth on and some flak Armour if its a high level . Then just shoot out with tranq arrows just make sure you stay in melee range or else it my shoot at you and if it does you will die.
I never use traps so this was an easy tame.. Just get above it an use shocking tranqs.
Use a tall creature with high hp
I recommend riding a stegosaurus with high hp and turn it sideways towards the velonasaur you are trying to tame. This way, the velonasuar can’t hit you and yet you could still fire tranqs safely.
If you have a yuti you can scare it and it will not even attack you so just tranq it and ez KO.
Shoot while on a cliff so needles hit rocks and not you. Guerrilla style
Its an easy solo tame. Just stand infront of it with an tanky dino, jump off and go stand behind the velonasaur and shoot it with tranq arrows. When its almost knocked down it will try to walk away, just continue shooting it with tranq arrows and you have yourself a new…

When going to tame a velonosaur just bring a dunk with decent health and let it tank the attack’s. Also try to get it to run away while in turret mode then it’s super slow and easy to hit
On a high health griffon, land beside it and shoot it in the face. After its knocked out kill carnos, allos, and stegos in the area for prime of you dont have kibble. Around 1h prime tame for a lvl 150.
Freeze with owl, trap with doors/pillars, take cover and tranq it.
A good way to solo tame these is to find a cliff or hillside where it can’t climb up. If you hide behind a rock or back up on the cliff when it starts turret mode, it won’t be able to hit you and you can shoot it.
Make a 2x1 with 6 wooden door frames and a ramp just walk the Dino in while your on a bird don’t fly it will shoot you down
It has a 5-hour baby stage. So should be a 2 day raise.
