Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Best way to tame is to get a club, then you go plop down in the swamp you have to make sure there are no titanboas nearby. Also you have to level up heath and melee damage(melee just a little bit). Wait for a Kapro to grab you in its jaws. Once it has you it can’t let go. So just bash it in the head with your club. I tamed a level 79 this way. I had around 300 health and 130% melee damage.
decided to fly low in a swamp with my argie, a kapro jumped and kidnapped me off my argie. I live to tell my story, they do not have candy, don’t trust them.
Most legitimate taming method for Kapros lvl 50 or lower(I did this at level 8, barely leveled health, and haven’t tested on high levels so it might work on them as well)
Step 1: find yourself a nice spot in the swamp to sit down near the water with your club and relax
Step 2: Get jumped by Kapro
Step 3: start clubbing/punching Kapro, it won’t be able to escape as you are in its mouth
Step 4: feed it literally any meat, I haven’t had problems with kapros actually waking up
Easy tame, you’re welcome
On mobile they ARE affected by bolas
DO NOT LAND FOR STAMINA IN THE SWAMP!!!! i lost my best Pteranodon and all my gear to a lvl 100 these guys arent ment to be taken likely and make Sarcos look like dodos
they have leap and a grab.
To do the leap swipe up and it will leap(can also grab Dinos)
to do the grab swipe down and it will grab.
It’s also good at swimming.
And does around 40 damage when tamed.(normal attack)
They are hated for grabbing players but they are amazing tames to have.
Hope you liked this because I just tamed one of these.
Ever seen a frail old lady in the supermarket get randomly dump-tackled while she was browsing the clementines?
Well guess what, if you go to the swamp, you're going to be the old lady.
When in swamps, watch yourself. These things will leap at you from nowhere, and they WILL take you off your mount if they touch you
If get kidnapped by these things just hit them with your strongest melee weapon
