Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Velonasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

I just pick them up with a quez and drop them in a two by two trap. Never had them affect the quez but then I'm straight in and grab them.

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.

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

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.

It is possible to use a spyglass in turret mod, the aim still apears so you can be more precise while shooting

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. :)

So if your to low lvl or poor in ark these are best for defense since you can just put them on aggressive and do a Dino leesch they will shoot tons of spike n will kill a creature only a 5th slower than normal turrets

The equivalent of 1 turret is 2 velos

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…

So take your quetzal with platform saddle and shove a lot these guys on it and set them all to aggressive turret mode and you get a fighter plane

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!

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…

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

In pvp, you can use a sniper from long range to easily kill them. Though there damage is insane, there health is terrible, a total glass cannon. If you are in medium it close range you are dead.
