What are tips for velonasaur? Tips and strategies for velonasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Just get a fast mount that u can hold a weapon on (iguanadon) then run up to it so it starts clawing u. Easiest tame ever. Doesn't do alot of damage unless its shooting u.
Got an Allosaur equipped with a saddle? Tranq it with a good crossbow or a Longneck, hop onto your Allo until it walks away, fire into it's back again, repeat until it falls over. Much easier tame than I thought it would be.
A walking tree that eats meat. WHAT!!!!!!!!!
Use a wyvern to pick it up and have some one below just tranq it.
crystal wyverns work
Tip normal raw meat works better with tamping
Easy solo Megapithicis Boss Fight.
Take one velonasaur, buff mainly stamina and melee, some health too and run up to let ledge and stay there in turret mode shooting him. Their too stupid to come up and get you although occasionally a monke will run up at you but he can be taken care of.
Easiest thing to do is approach it from beside or behind, get close and shoot it and immediately run under its head, it goes into turret mode and won't hit you or melee you. Additionally you can move left or right and aim towards a certain spot that it will run to just before it knocks out, very helpful if you're near water or a cliff or something
Wow so many silly over the top useless tips. STOP BEING LAZY AND MAKE A TRAP! 2x2 wood trap with door frames is all you need. Drop it in with a wyvern.
Easy knockout get a managarmr and the managarmr can use its searing spit wich can oy freeze dinosaurs in first person view and freeze the velonosaur before he or she agros you then simply knock it out with shocking tranqs or normal tranqs.
A set of flak, crossbow and a pair of balls you can walk right up to one of these and it'll either run away from you or try to hit you with its needles, run underneath the tail to confuse it and you'll prolly knock it out without much trouble.
It's right click shotgun attack has been nerfed severely, I'd recommend focusing on melee and stam to make sure you can gun down everything in sight, because at close range it does not have a reliable melee attack anymore, other than its very weak claw attack. Be careful as a group of Allosaurus can get rid of your newly tamed velo if you aren't careful.
