How do I tame a velonasaur? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a velonasaur.
That one dilophosaur after i feed him 100 potent dust
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*
Before you knock out the Velonasaur be careful of its spikes it will shoot them and they are DEADLY. (I learned the hard way)
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

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
The regular augmented kibble requires savoroot along with rockarrot!
We can use the net projectile with this dino, easy tame!
Utilize cover, and have someone (or something) tank for you
I found a bug a few days ago with a pteradacle if that is how you pronuce it. If you use the pteradacle and walk up to a velonasaur on it for some reason the velonasaur goes into turret mode and does not shoot or anything. It just stands there so just walk up to one with a pteradacle and when it stares into your pteradacle for forever just load it with trans off of the pteradacle and you got a velonasaur.
Up for people to see this is the easiest way to tame this guy.
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.
Real men punch them out.
SMART men circle them and konk ‘em out with tranqs.
If your playing with a friend you can tame it if your friend walks up to it with a wooden shield an you shoot it with just a bow you’ll knock it out
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.
If you tame one, I suggest using this method. First, build a 1x1 of any material except thatch ( since they can break it). on each of the walls, place a window. Whenever you need to shoot, you open a window and shoot. Close the window to reload and to be protected from the needles. I had my tribe mate do this because we made a bet that if he survived while trying to knock out the Dino, he would give me his armor. Hope this helps you tame a velonosuar!
It is better to tame the R variants because they are naturally stronger
Use a wyvern to pick it up and have some one below just tranq it.
crystal wyverns work
I don't know what everyone is saying about strafing around these things, on xbox they literally shoot spines in any direction around them, even straight behind
Temp for the egg incubator is 30 degrees Celsius.
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
