More about taming the VR Velonasaur
VR Velonasaur must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it. Then use Tranq Arrows from a Bow or Crossbow, or Tranquilizer Dart from a Longneck Rifle to induce torpor.
The best food is Regular Kibble, which provides the fastest taming. Raw Mutton also works well. The process takes about 13 minutes with 9 kibble at level 224. No narcotics are needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.
