The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the VR Velonasaur at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the VR Velonasaur. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the VR Velonasaur sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The VR Velonasaur bleeds 0.3 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the VR Velonasaur as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Variant classification.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. At 160 base HP, the VR Velonasaur is not particularly tanky. Its base Stamina of 1000 gives it massive stamina reserves. Weight capacity starts at 100, giving it modest carrying capacity.

To tame the VR Velonasaur, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the VR Velonasaur fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 28°C–32°C temperature window. A wild VR Velonasaur is worth 1 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
