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

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the R-Velonasaur at different levels. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the R-Velonasaur. 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. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Use the torpor and starve timers to track your R-Velonasaur tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level R-Velonasaur: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.

Found throughout the ARKs, the R-Velonasaur is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.

After taming, the R-Velonasaur is a versatile tame with a balanced stat spread, useful in a variety of roles. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 28°C and 32°C. A wild R-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.
