Tips & Strategies

These things are killing machines.so I was walking around in the swamp when it appeared out of nowhere it ripped some skin off me and smashed me against a tree I managed to escape its jaws and climbed a rock then foolishly decided to kill it even if I got away I hit it once and it hit me losing half of my health……… I hit it again and I was not expecting it to snag my arm in its jaws and tug me off the rock!!! It smashed me against the rock I got away and it chased me I tried to jump off a nearby cliff but I jumped and right before I fell it snapped it’s jaws onto my arm pulling me back onto land.bleeding and crying in fear I stared at it it then roared at me and mauled me then everything went dark!…………………so if you are a newbie and are in the swamp for the first time if it says dangerous area……RUN!
More Kaprosuchus Encountering Tips
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.
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.
This guy was the single motivator as to why humans decided to make shotguns.
If you run across one and it happens to leap at you, bite you, and start to carry you away throw a bola at it and it will let you go.
uncariable by argy huh yeah argy or quetz and wyvern can carry it
This guy is my favourite so far, right from when I first meet him, I was a noob and wandered close to a swamp well he came flying at me missed and disappeared behind me, I'm like what the neck was that, climbed a big arse rock asap and looked around, bugger came bounding back towards me and leapt straight up that rock like it was a mole hill.
Tamed the bugger and took him hunting, came across my first raptor and shat myself thinking oh rap I am screwed, nope Kappa flys over my head, collects the raptor and pile drives it into the ground several meters away, hilarious. Always fun times with Kappa around.
I shit myself a little the first time one jumped at me, not gonna lie
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.
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.
