Kaprosuchus
The Kaprosuchus is a crocodile-like reptile commonly found around swamps. Though it is a smaller, weaker version of the Sarco, some survivors perfer it for its speed — both on land and in water.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Kaprosuchus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Always keep you’re lance out if pounced on stab stab stab until dead always works for me
If you ever see one running towards you, run past a snail. They’ll pounce at it & grab it only for it to retreat into its shell, leaving the Kapro vulnerable & unable to pounce.
Don’t pick em up just dont(more words)
Just punch it over and over and it will go unconscious.ps a lvl 1 can do this.
Danger these live in the swamp and
Almost everthing there will kill you so have a really really good mount like a lvl 555 wyvern and kill em all
Definetely not weaker than the sarco, you can kill a sarco without any weapon or armor, however you cannot do that to a kapro ( unless you are a master at every existing video game in the world).
It is best to attack their tail so the won’t bite your head off (if it turns around stay with the tail)
The one I’m taming right now eats raw meat just so you know.
Also eats cooked meat not stated on here
Watch out for these in ponds of se because they will spawn in when ur near water and murder you and your lvl 260 direwolf *runs off crying*
The bane of my existence I lost an argentavis to this and died about 20 times trying to retrieve it
FYI for anyone that wants to do mutations, I have had a really hard time getting the mutations. Also I have yet to get a underbelly mutation. Not sure if this is from them just having 4 regions or what.
These themselves probably won’t kill you, but they are the perfect set up for a swamp gang bang. Just one of them can be piked to death or removed by bola, however in the swamp the precious time you spend being off your mount addressing the kapro can easily turn into several…
These themselves probably won’t kill you, but they are the perfect set up for a swamp gang bang. Just one of them can be piked to death or removed by bola, however in the swamp the precious time you spend being off your mount addressing the kapro can easily turn into several snake bites, sarco bites, bug bites, piranha bites, baryonyx bites etc. and shit can get out of hand really quick once you and your mount become separated
Does anybody else notice that they're never the purple color it says they are??
If you plan a trip to the swamp make sure to get a few bolas to throw at these guys when they grab you and when they are immobilized shoot them with a shotgun or a long
Despite having the looks that it can take a lot of punishments it actually cannot take a punishment.Be careful when taming it.
They can and will still lunge at you while bolo'd! Watch yourself after getting one in a bolo as it will make you into a fine meal.
Be careful. These alligators will latch on to you and won't let go. Stay high, and use tranque arrows or a tranquing rifle
if you don't have something to pick them up with lead them as far onto land as possible and kite them from way up high, they'll agro and try to jump at you but if you break their line of sight they lose interest quickly
