Carry two velos with a karkinos and you now have a soaker with turrets
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.
If you going to try kill it don't approach it with a shield it will rip through it and kill you
It is an awesome dino, level up stamina and Melee and your good to go. It is very useful in the orbital drops fights.
The stam isnt terrible if you hold in turret mode, rapid clicking is what drains it quickly
In my experience, they almost always spawn in pairs. Make sure you check the entire area if you think you're only fighting/taming one!
I tamed one the other day by placing a wood fence foundation and a wall when he tried to shoot I hid behind the wall and every now and then I would shoot him with a tranq dart he was a 145
Never underestimate these bastards, I was trying to tame one of them and THEIR NEEDLES HAVE RANGE! I was on the other side of the lake in the desert biome and I was getting aim boted by thier needles. MAKE SURE TO HAVE SOME MED BREWS IF U TRY TO TAME ONE!
If you use a snow owl to freeze it then while still mounted to keep it frozen surround it with wooden billboards so it can’t shoot you or get out
Get a platform saddle for a quetzal and put this thing on it you basically have a fighter jet
If u need 2 do lava cave suggest having a velo supper effective against it and u dont need rockets 2 kill boss
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
Had my first velonasaur encounter today on fjordor- I didn’t even know what hit me but it banged up my maewing pretty bad
America's top dinosaur award of the century.
To breed easily just plant both your parents in turret mode and set to wander, they'll spin on the spot and do the nasty
The developers made a very correct decision for this beast and made a not very large radius of its aggression. If he would have a higher target radius (like a raptor, for example), he will start shooting for the first step, and it will be very annoying for all players.
A Velonasaur with high melee and a lot of grapples is the by far best way to run the lava cave. Will only take you like 10 minutes.
It is better to tame the R variants because they are naturally stronger
If you agro it then try to kill it close range and DON’T try to run because it will go into turret stance and shot you down faster than you can say “run back!”
level damage up to 650%+ and killed someone's Giga with the AOE ability, I thought I was done for
I found the best way to KO a Velona is by find a destructible rock, which they cant break, and climb to top of it, then just start the process, when it goes into turret mode you can just take a step or two back and it won't hit you but you can still see it and hit it. Once…
I found the best way to KO a Velona is by find a destructible rock, which they cant break, and climb to top of it, then just start the process, when it goes into turret mode you can just take a step or two back and it won't hit you but you can still see it and hit it. Once it runs follow and keep on shooting. This has worked for me on my entire Velona Army of 16 Velonas, now time for Breeding. I already got a 267 and 261 female and Male to breed together. Cant wait for an imprinted one. That can solo red drops
