Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a velonasaur? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a velonasaur.
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
A group of these will turn ANY AND ALL your tames into porcupines
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.
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.
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
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
Pair these with a plat quetzal and you have an amazing aerial fighter. Why not use auto turrets well because if you hit one once or twice with an RPG it will get destroyed and the velonasaur if pumped in health can’t by the way if you do use this only pump health pumping damage won’t effect the damage the needles from the velonasaur will do and since you will be taking out outher aerial threats or some ground threats you won’t need to pump health another good thing about this is that you don’t need to use up any more bullets on you quetzal. Also you can pick up a velonasaur if you can’t fit anymore on the platform which will be effective against ground targets and more aerial targets trying to get to the more week spot of the quetzal so highly recommend I’ll be doing a lot more of these tactics on other creatures as well so see you on the next tip ;) - A.L.N.A
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.
Tip normal raw meat works better with tamping
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. :)
A good way to tame these guys is to pick them up with a wyvern (for level selection) and put them in a metal bill board cage outside of the desert.If you don't have a wyvern available, sneak into it's face so it doesn't spike you (or have a buddy do that) and use a riot shield and tranqs.
If you have good armor, just run up to its face and tranq, cause it can't use needles point blank. If you don't have the best armor, run up behind, shoot its butt, and then it'll go into turret mode and you just run up close and it'll stay in turret mode but can't hit you.
BEWARE OF THE PROJECTILES
THEY SHREDDED THROUGH MY FLAK ARMOUR IN LESS THAN ONE SECOND
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
YOU CANT BOLA IT😭 I tried didn’t work so don’t fail like I did
If you sneak up on it (ghillie suit , cactus brooth ) and get up close it won't start fireing so just shoot it with darts entill it's knocked out also if your planning to do this on higher levels you might want more health so use mind wipe tonic if you think you need more health. p.s it hits you instead of shooting you when you get really close.
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

Walk up to it, it’ll go into turret mode, then crouch and go under it and start knocking it out (they don’t have a lot of torpor). If it goes out of turret mode walk away a little bit until they go back into it and do the same thing.
When tameing if you have a flyer that can pick use a 4by4 with door frames all a round then pick the velo up and drop it in box and use a crossbow or whatever preferred to knock it out-and then go to snow zone to find a Ovis pick. Then wait 10min then kill the ovis and then put the raw mutton in it.
