Local noob here! I managed to get a pteranodon saddle (finally) so I could ride my tamed pteranodon, Babooey, around the island in Mobile. Thought I’d be brave and look around for some explorer notes. What a fool I was! I found a few notes (almost got attacked by a spino while looking for the sarco note), then saw one that was a little north of my home base, about midway between there and the green obelisk. I thought I would take the risk and head over there. I approached the swamps. A friend of mine warned me that the swamps are total hell, but I thought I’d be in and out since the note was right on the edge. I grabbed the jerboa note and tried to flee, but a kaprosuchus snatched me off Babooey’s back and killed me. I went back with both my rafts (died the first time trying to call Babooey), and right when I arrived at the swamps the second time and called Babooey, the kaprosuchus killed Babooey. So now I’m stuck by the swamps with only hide armor and a sword. Thanks kaprosuchus.
