Step3:feed it at least kibble or raw prime meat to tame faster(No narcotics needed)
Step4:Once tamed craft it a saddle unlocks at lvl 44 or 43 and you can use it too tame a high lvl one
My tribe lives right outside the swamp biome and these damned things are a Menace. They've killed my members dozens of times and they surrounded our mounts and killed them. Do not take them lightly they are cold blooded killers and are efficient at it.
Dont listen to all that get someone to pick you up
And stand on a tall rock crap just hop into the swamp with a cross bow or a normal bow let it grab you and then just shoot tranqs down its throat and murder any narcos with a trike and you have your self a kapri btw you can usually get away with this strategy with lvl 1 to 80ish but anything higher you may die btw have a decent amount of health so it does not just chomp you in 5 seconds
Just use the oldest trick in the book get on high ground and tranq it
Dododex is wrong because I tamed a kaprosuchus with 3 raw prime meat level 13 and the speed is absurd if you only level up its speed:)
First, wait for it to carry you in its mouth then, start beating it with a club or shoot it with tranq arrows, make sure to give it some bio toxin or narco berrys
I ended up taming a level 100 Kapro on Crystal Isles. I was scouting with my level 230 (approximate) pteranodon — oddly enough, I found a lone one just off of the shore in the shoals biome (this area was a bit close to a swamp, so). They are very scary in the water, as they will leap right out of it in an attempt to attack you and your tame granted that you are close enough to the ocean’s surface. I led one onto the beach and was lucky enough to find a tall enough rock to land upon so that the aggravated creature couldn’t reach me. It took several tranq arrows to knock it out using a crossbow. After assuring that the area around me was clear and there weren’t any more threats, I had easily tamed it with a stack of raw meat and carefully led it back to my base. It was easier than I had expected to tame one, even as it was a high level. The advice I would give other players is that if you are going to lead one to a tall rock so you can tranquilize one without getting attacked, I’d still be careful to make the best judgement call with the rock and be 100% positive that it has no parts of it that the creature can pounce onto and find its way to you. By the way, I’m pretty new to Ark still, so my strategy may not be that professional — but I hope it helps other new players!
Use a bola after being grabbed to get free... That is, if your alive long enough after it grabs you to throw it.
They will jump at you but when I tamed one it took 3 pieces of fish meat
Swamps are crazy places to go, gotta be crazy to go there, but I did, wanted to find a Kappa to replace the one that got eating by a Thermo. Second time looking for one and finding only Sarcos so I decide to finally tame one, get one down and tame underway and a Baryonyx shows up, had only just been researching it the nigbt before as my next tame so tackle him get it down and tame underway, then a Kappa bowls me over, struggling now but finally get him down and tame. Walked out of the swamp with the three, that was enough for the morning.
How to tame
1.pee your pants
2.grab with an argentavis .putt in taming pen
4.tranq out. Notice:they will and can jump over the taming pen walls
I tamed a lvl 2 with like 150 meat and 0 narcotics, but it took way too long! Uhhh, easy taming? Sure. Quick taming? Nope.
For low level kapros, pump melee and health and make a club, wait in the swamp for one to jump you, and once in its mouth bash it’s head until it sleeps and use local dragonflies and dodos to feed it and boom! Great early game tame- tropeognathus guy
i just tamed a white one of these but it was. H E L L dude. I died 100 times. Please go prepared and not like me who just goes with a stego (survived with a stego) up so noobs can see!
use bola to stun it and if your a low level with no tranq arrows try upgrading your damge and bola the kapo and go behind it and spam and make sure there is no snakes with you snakes can ruin your progress but it wont kill the kapo keep your distance and throw thr bola on the right time to make him grab you
To find these new dinosaurs on scorched earth, go to water locations to find them.
I have tamed two of these if you have a sarco you can use it by clearing out the area and it is easier if it is attacking a snail clear out the trees because it would be a lot easier to shoot all you need is a bow and arrow use tranq arrows and then start shooting it I would take about 10 15 tranq arrows then once it is knocked out put about 60 meat in its inventory and wait about 2,3,4 minutes and you have a kaprosuchus I have a level 74 and 48 it’s jump attack is it’s strongest attack I hope this was helpful
You can shoot tranqs at it from the back of a tall creature and it won’t be able to jump at you, but make sure your creature has high health since the kaprosuchus bite attack decreases stamina and you won’t be able to run away,
They will eat your soul if you like it or not
So finding these guys in a swamp is pretty easy as they will pounce at you and drag you around like a rag doll. They have a venomous bite but when you get at least 4 levels of fortitude the bite should have no effect on you. If your playing in console or pc DO NOT use a bola because they will not work on the other hand, for mobile players, the bola will work on these guys. So for console and pc, taming these guys will need a club or you can punch it (tranq arrows are optional), at least some type of armor if you don’t have health leveled up high enough, and some servings of raw meat or kibble (40 or more raw meat is recommended).
The steps for console and pc are:
1. Go to a swamp (on the island)
2. Run or walk up to it
3. Let it kidnap you
4. Either punch it or hit it with your club, you may even be able to get some shots in with the bow
5. Once you knockout put the taming food in it’s inventory
6. Protect it from other, aggressive animals
7. When it’s finished taming, enjoy your very own Kaprosuchus
For mobile you will need a club or fists to knockout the dang thing (tranq arrows are also optional), one or two bolas to keep the thing in place so it can’t attack you, some type of armor (yes, again) if health is not leveled up, and kibble or raw meat to tame it.
The steps for mobile are:
1. Find a Kaprosuchus (I don’t know where the spawn on mobile)
2. Throw the bola at it and if it breaks out of the bola while knocking it out throw the other bola if you have one (The kidnapping method above will work too)
3. To knock it out either hit it with your fists or club, even better using the bow and tranq arrows
4. Once knocked out, feed it the the taming food
5. Protect it from other aggressive animals
6. Once tamed, enjoy your very own Kaprosuchus
Hoped this helped someone tame a Kaprosuchus and if it did please up this so other players can tame one too.
