If you tame a snow owl and freeze it, it will use the melee attack on the owl and you can hope off and knock it out easily. If the owl starts to get bloody just hop on it and use it's freeze attack to heal.

For easy 2 person tame, use wyvern to carry and 2nd person to tranq.
An easy way to tame the velonosaur is to make a boomerang and agro it. When it tries to shot you run up to it making sure your under flaps and spam throw the boomerang aiming to the ground so it will come back faster. If it switches to melee simply walk away till it switches…

When it tries to shot you run up to it making sure your under flaps and spam throw the boomerang aiming to the ground so it will come back faster. If it switches to melee simply walk away till it switches back to turret mode. With that done you can continue boomerang spamming.
If I get good damage, good stamina, and I'm health and clone it can be really good turrets and base defense but this is banned on lots of servers.
This is an awful tame 6 of these in a boss battle will crash your game freezing you the whole time probly killing all your Dino’s
I had flak and it just dissolved it like WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU
Try using keeping a tanky creature between you and them to soak the quills they throw at you. I had used my Megatherium with 20K health and all I needed to do was peek her shoulder and shoot over it while her tummy was filled with quills. If they have a line of sight on you…

You're gonna need more mutton then what's shown. Tried taming a 125 used 19 mutton and wasnt even halfway
I was super afraid of these, just by the looks of them! Then I accidentally knocked one out and now I have 10. Super easy solo tame. I actually enjoy taming these guys. Easy to knock out, hardly any Marco sauce is used and it doesn't take forever for them to tame up.
Breeding info is wrong baby phase way longer than an hour
Find a mountain or hill that’s near the velonasaur but far enough so when you try to knock it it’ll stay in that position and try to shoot at you and build a building around you with an opening on the side with the volonosaur then fire at it with your tranqs. I used this…

Imprinting boosts movement speed!
Run under it and nar it as it can’t hit you best way to look it
It fits in Dino gates as well it says it don’t on here
A simple wooden 2x2 trap 2 walls high and some ramps is very effective. It will not shoot at you through walls
