Tips & Strategies

Pair these with a plat quetzal and you have an amazing aerial fighter. Why not use auto turrets well because if you hit one once or twice with an RPG it will get destroyed and the velonasaur if pumped in health can’t by the way if you do use this only pump health pumping damage won’t effect the damage the needles from the velonasaur will do and since you will be taking out outher aerial threats or some ground threats you won’t need to pump health another good thing about this is that you don’t need to use up any more bullets on you quetzal. Also you can pick up a velonasaur if you can’t fit anymore on the platform which will be effective against ground targets and more aerial targets trying to get to the more week spot of the quetzal so highly recommend I’ll be doing a lot more of these tactics on other creatures as well so see you on the next tip ;) - A.L.N.A
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*
They can be found in the Fjordur Map on the shores in the Volcano biome, along with some X-Trikes and a few more stuff- — Bob the Builder

That one dilophosaur after i feed him 100 potent dust
We can use the net projectile with this dino, easy tame!
About a couple weeks ago, I was so lucky I was fooled into thinking a Velonasaur disregarded a shooter when mounting an Allosaur. Just now, I thought about how a Stegosaurus protects it's rider from arrows, and then shot at the Velonasaur between the plates in Hardened mode. I got very little damage comparatively, and knocked it out in relative peace. Stegos are the key, my packmates.
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.
Shut up, Andrewsarchus is not better and i refuse to believe it.
How to tame a Velonasaur:
1. Prepare.
You Need:
A Harpoon Gun with Net Projectiles
Longneck and Tranq Darts
(optional)A Riot Shield, color it red, white and blue so you feel like Captain America
Superior Kibble
2. Find a good Velonasaur, watch out! They usually spawn in pairs.
3. Avengers!….Assemble…
Use the shield to block the incoming needles, when you see an opportunity, shoot at it with the Net Gun…you can also just sneak up on it and fire at it.
4. Knock it out with Tranq Darts
5. Feed it Superior Kibble, give it Narcotics if it’s close to waking up
6. Name your Velonasaur! They have a good melee attack, however they can also shoot needles out of their neck frills. Make sure to level up Health, Stam and Melee.

To tame it, I flew next to it with my snow owl, froze it, and placed 4 wooden billboards around it. Can’t damage wood, can place structures while using the freeze.
