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
All you need is a good pike, get pulled off your mount and poke this little f***er to death. If you are going for taming, bring a Mastercraft or ascendant crossbow, only takes about 5 narc arrows for a level 115.
Careful when in swamps and using smaller mounts it will superman outta nowhere and drag you away into the water.
If you're on Scorched Earth riding a wolf, these guys are your worst nightmare. One took me off of my mount and ricoched to the top limit barrier of the map. Punched it to death falling and landed in a puddle to survive.
When you put he in a taming cage you have to make the wall 2 high because he can climb over 1 high wall
If it happens to grab you and you have enough points in health and melee damage then you can knock it out while in its teeth.
If you're in scorched earth and one of those grabs you, keep hitting them with a boomerang and they should either die or faint.
My Kapros food didn't start at 2100 rather it was 1200 base...
To tame just punch him out when he picks you off of your tame on the swamp
I accidentally knocked mine out with my fists. I am level 65 and have a leveled my melee up a lot. I almost died so this definitely not the best method.
The bola doesn't seem to hold them. I used the bola on one it stopped for a few seconds than lunged while the bola was still on it and proceeded to munch my bones into paste.
These guys are a pain. Flying around on my argy in the swamp and bam out of nowhere one takes me off my mount and kills me.
Let them get you then punch shoot just tranq them when they grab you:)
Definitely will surprise attack you. One of these guys got me in it's mouth so I started shooting at it with arrows and got him to pass out before killing me. See it before it sees you!
