Tips & Strategies

What are tips for kaprosuchus? Tips and strategies for kaprosuchus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
For all the noobs out there, if these things kidnap you in the swamp, here’s what to do. Take out your bow/ gun. Pray you have ammo and fire right into its head. This strategy has saved me countless times.
P.S. If you have a strong melee weapon such as a pike or sword on you, that also works.
I was out to tame a raptor when suddenly a Kaprosuchus just jumps out of the water!
I forgot to switch my tranq with a normal arrow an accidentally knocked it out then i just tamed it and being attacked by Titanobas! Swamps are scary......
Me: is within a 6 mile radius of a swamp
Kapro: Bonjour
Don't put these guys off as weaklings. They will ruin your day. If you get grabbed by on quickly kill it before it kills you and your mount. They are very frail so it isn't too bad if you act quickly.
Drop in someone's base as a gift
Hippity hoppity you are my property
These guys are perfect for traveling around the map, you can jump off a cliff and not die with their leap attack. I have a level 8 I believe and have explored very far from my base, came back with a crap load of electronics and stuff from tek parasaurs I killed. Very useful and would recommend. To tame you just need to keep your distance from it and avoid its leap attack as best as you can, they don't run that fast so just shoot it with some tranq arrows till it's knocked out. ^so people see
If your on the island go to the east side of the map. Go to the edge of the swamp and make a trap, even a two by two thatch one will work. Put door frames on the edges of the foundations, then finally a ramp for it to walk up on. You can also use this as a safety area to knock it out from.
Run away you will die...
I think the devs should add a command for singleplayers that makes it possible for the Kapro to grab creatures on it‘s own without attacking them, so the player can stand in front of him to knock the dinosaur out (as a command like you can activiate turret mode with the chalicotherium)
This is a very useful mount, especially in PvP. It has a special jump attack, which can grab players and hold them, or knock them of their mounts. It doesn't have much health though. It is fast on land and in the water, however increasing movement speed doesn't affect swimming speed.
The swamp is an evil place thanks to these and those damn snakes.
This creature kills you so fast that it crashes the game. No, seriously. I’ve had my game crash on several occasions, every time the cause being death by Kapro. Not sure if this is a known bug or not, but I’d just like to put it out there in case anyone has had the same issue.
How to tame (easy tame and good for low level, taming one as I write this).
Step one: get tranq arrows or even just club (this is quite hard)
Step two: find a kapro and get it out of water. This can be done by walking near it and making it pounce on you.
Step 3: if you have a raptor, ride it and the kapro will pounce the raptor and you can tranq it.
Step 4: feed it meat and protect it.
Step 5: have fun with your jumping croc
If you're not careful this creature will give you the kaprosucccccccc

.can possibly be used to drain creatures stamina to prevent them from
Running (not sure why you’d use this but it’s an option regardless)
