Here's how to tame a Velonasaur effectively(at least thats how i tamed 2 of em):
You will need:
•A Crossbow or longneck rifle( i got mines w crossbow)
•About 15-30 tranq arrows (idk how bad is your aim or how many it needs in a rifle, but get a substancial amount)
•(optional) a very tanky dino or a window to serve as cover
How to knock:
1- find one in an not-so-open space( the more places to cover the better)
2- get some distance, although moving around it may seem a good idea, it can turn pretty quickly in turret mode.
3- Play the Trench game where:
-you shoot it
-it tries to shoot you
-you hide
-he moves closer to you
-you run
-repeat
Doing so with covers will let you have some time to react before it shoots you.
Note:you will take damage, thats kinda unfortunate, but with the covers it lets you eat some food or potions
When it starts to run away, run towards him, jumping whenever you shoot
From this point you probably already know what to do: shoot, hide, repeat, run to him, knock him, and feed him.
And then VOILÁ, you just got the most exciting dino i have ever tamed so far. ENJOYYY!!!

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.
