What are tips for kaprosuchus? Tips and strategies for kaprosuchus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
In mobile you CAN pick it up with an argentavis.
There’s an area near the swamp and Weathertop that’s in a clearing next to a lake that also great for gaming beelzebufo, but what you can do is try to lure a kapro out of the swamp and into this area, get up on a ledge that’s nearby and pump it full of tranqs. Was able to tame my first kapro like this.
If they grab u in there mouth u can nock them out with fist 😀
ATTENTION ALL ARK MOBILE PLAYERS!!! YOU CAN NOT BOLA A KAPROSUCHUS ON MOBILE!!! Works just fine on every other version, just not on mobile. Up so noobs don’t make the same mistake I made.
Lap rod are great for caves with a lot of parkour because they can jump so far and long but if you have a thylo use both. Use the kapro for jumping forward and use the thylo for climbing vertically. Very useful pair you can also use weapons while on both. Plus ja pros are fun to tame just fly low in a swamp on a pt or Argie and they’ll come give you a hug.
if you’re on a pteranodon and gotta stop to increase stamina and you were lucky enough to be above the swamp, never and i repeat NEVER land on the sides of the swamp. the coast may seem clear but those suckers will come at you out of nowhere and kick u off ur tame and tear u to death
so try to keep an eye on any nearby high rock to rest on for ur pteranodon stamina, then yeet out of that swamp area with ur pteranodon ASAP
I was riding my thyla and it was level 666 and then this guy came and killer me and I lost him
1 up = prayer
i just tamed a white one of these but it was. H E L L dude. I died 100 times. Please go prepared and not like me who just goes with a stego (survived with a stego) up so noobs can see!
One of the easiest ways I have found to tame these guys is to deliberately get snatched and then knock it out. I have seen tips that talk about using your fists or club, but you can also use tranq arrows just fine.
Do note that you need a decent amount of health and preferably chitin armour or up. Though at some point when the Kapro would 'run away', it will also stop damaging you while you remain in its mouth. Then you do what you gotta do, which is shove meat down it's toothy gob!
It has a terrible turning circle, so stay behind the head and stab like mad. It also helps if you wait for it to attack something that will fight back, so that you get a disposable ally who will distract it. Easy kill on land really.
For low level kapros, pump melee and health and make a club, wait in the swamp for one to jump you, and once in its mouth bash it’s head until it sleeps and use local dragonflies and dodos to feed it and boom! Great early game tame- tropeognathus guy
So finding these guys in a swamp is pretty easy as they will pounce at you and drag you around like a rag doll. They have a venomous bite but when you get at least 4 levels of fortitude the bite should have no effect on you. If your playing in console or pc DO NOT use a bola because they will not work on the other hand, for mobile players, the bola will work on these guys. So for console and pc, taming these guys will need a club or you can punch it (tranq arrows are optional), at least some type of armor if you don’t have health leveled up high enough, and some servings of raw meat or kibble (40 or more raw meat is recommended).
The steps for console and pc are:
1. Go to a swamp (on the island)
2. Run or walk up to it
3. Let it kidnap you
4. Either punch it or hit it with your club, you may even be able to get some shots in with the bow
5. Once you knockout put the taming food in it’s inventory
6. Protect it from other, aggressive animals
7. When it’s finished taming, enjoy your very own Kaprosuchus
For mobile you will need a club or fists to knockout the dang thing (tranq arrows are also optional), one or two bolas to keep the thing in place so it can’t attack you, some type of armor (yes, again) if health is not leveled up, and kibble or raw meat to tame it.
The steps for mobile are:
1. Find a Kaprosuchus (I don’t know where the spawn on mobile)
2. Throw the bola at it and if it breaks out of the bola while knocking it out throw the other bola if you have one (The kidnapping method above will work too)
3. To knock it out either hit it with your fists or club, even better using the bow and tranq arrows
4. Once knocked out, feed it the the taming food
5. Protect it from other aggressive animals
6. Once tamed, enjoy your very own Kaprosuchus
Hoped this helped someone tame a Kaprosuchus and if it did please up this so other players can tame one too.
I was attacked by like 3 of them and 5 sarcos and took them out with a parasaur, trike and pteranodon. The moschops just does nothing but run from the fight.
Up so you get good luck and never update a moschops' damage.
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!
