Velonasaur Taming Calculator

Knock the Velonasaur unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. Torpor bleeds at 0.1/s, requiring regular sedative application to prevent a premature wakeup.

Knockout Weapons

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Velonasaur across various creature levels. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Velonasaur first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Karkinos can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.

Required Narcotics

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Velonasaur unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.1 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Starve & Torpor Timers

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Velonasaur as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the DMG group.

Its base Stamina of 325 gives it moderate endurance. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. With 440 base Health, the Velonasaur is decently sturdy. Weight capacity starts at 325, giving it good carrying capacity.

To tame the Velonasaur, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Killing a wild Velonasaur yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
