What are tips for velonasaur? Tips and strategies for velonasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
These should be your first tame since there saddle is unlocked at level 27 in extinction also they can shoot faster then an automatic turret also I've just read this they can block turret bullets so I hope they can damage tek turrets with there needles or out gun all turrets.
Net it and trank feed kibble done
Looks like a megalosaurus that got mixed with plants and corruption, for those who really want to know go to ark's community crunch page
Ah, the Velonasaur is a mighty thing to behold. Equipped with a face full of quills, and a tail with quills also, it can shoot them out of its tail in a circular motion. The Velonasaur can also become what most say a “Living assault rifle”. Their normal claw swipe deals moderate damage, and they are quite speedy. The turret mode burns through stamina, and consumes food at a moderate pace. If you want the quills to deal more damage, upgrade melee damage! One last thing, the quills bypass the rock elementals armor, dealing the same damage as a normal creature! Thus concludes my knowledge on the Velonasaur—— DubXshrimp
EZ tamme
Just get a harpoon gun with a net projectile.
Net it and then shoot it with your friend ( if you're on a tribe ) , a few shots from an ascended long neck rifle from the. Two of you
Will down it in a few seconds.
Note : bring a metal shield Incase if you have a primitive rifle, shoot it once it gets up
Tank the needles with the metal shield wait for 10 secs thenn net again
If you wanna quick and easy knock out without being shot use shocking tranq darts for me a high level velonosaur is 1 hit k.o it's easy knock out with the shocking tranqs.
Build a wall or two (any works) to run behind as a sheld. Step out from behind to shoot taking pop shots at it. We’ve used windows to shoot through, but remember, a window works both ways. :)
Velonasaurs live in the desert bio-some on extinction, and are OP they can take down a Rex 150 breaded before it even attacks you!(I tried), and are breedable! This thing is over powered! They shoot spikes out of their heads!
BEWARE OF THE PROJECTILES
THEY SHREDDED THROUGH MY FLAK ARMOUR IN LESS THAN ONE SECOND
The easiest way to tame it is to run up to it with a net gun and then start to knock it out. The net will stop it from moving and fiering.
They don't take that much darts to knock them out when you have a decent long neck
It’s firing attack is overpowered but absolutely drains stamina so it is best to level up stamina, health, and melee damage. There really isn’t much else to say other than it is an op living and breedable turret that doesn’t need ammo and is probably one of the most op tames in ark. Warning it shreds through armor with it’s firing attack flack won’t last long if it lasts you a minute you are insanely lucky.
These guys are a must tame for pvp servers they shoots shards of there frill out at anything and if your aim is good you can kill anything even a corrupted giga with 10 more as well
