Tips & Strategies
Kapros can kill via fall damage! ⚠️ Beware kapros launching at you from a lower area! Their launch attack has the same distance even if they’re launching vertically, so you can become fatally injured just from the fall damage when they let you go. The biggest risk of this happening is around the lifted edges of the swamp, where they can jump directly up at you if you get too close. Scared the life out of me the first time it happened.
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.
If get kidnapped by these things just hit them with your strongest melee weapon
Be careful when you are venturing through the swamp. These guys can can sneak up on you and snatch you in its mouth.Natures kidnapper. Punch it with all of your power and it will eventually fall asleep.
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.
Be sure to stay away from water in genesis or you’ll be in for ALOT of rage.
I speak from experience…
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
Traveled on a raft all the way to Carno island for my first Argy (I know there are other spots but I had no luck with spawns). Finally secured a solid bird and a Kapro YEETED him off my raft on the way back… poor guy never stood a chance.
Learned my lesson and found out the wooden spikes prevent this on a raft, as a failed attempt was made by probably the same hungry Kapro. Just sharing since the spike trick might be useful to some!
