More Velonasaur Taming & KO Tips
You don’t need to trap this to tame, it’s a solo tame. If you run up to it, it will go into turret mode then you need to walk circles around it and keep hitting with tranq until it eventually tries to walk away *in turret mode so really slow walking*

If you have a tanky large Dino with good health you can hide behind it so it gets shot and not you and easily shoot the velonasaur with tranqs
Real men punch them out.
SMART men circle them and konk ‘em out with tranqs.
They only do around 10-20 damage per quill so if you have a tank mount (even an iguanodon with lots of health) you can let it Afro to it and let the mount tank as you tranq it. Very easy and you can tame it as soon as you get it’s saddle. Get up close and personal with it.
I don't know what everyone is saying about strafing around these things, on xbox they literally shoot spines in any direction around them, even straight behind
Make a 2x2 cage with ramps and a door. Lure the velonasaur in with a flyer. If you stay close to him he won’t enter turret mode. Leveling melee raises his projectile hit points. Also level stamina to attack longer. A high level can shred everything I’ve come across. Can’t wait for an imprinted one for the speed bonus.
