Encountering Tips

How do I kill a kaprosuchus? kaprosuchus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Do not go to swamps with a flyer under a thousand health they will die or you will or both!
These will grab you and run around showing all of its friends also I tried to shoot it with a shotgun, 4 times did no damage, you have to use a sword.
DO NOT pick these hell spawns up with any flyer! I was stupid and thought it couldn’t grab me if I was carrying it up in the air. I was wrong. So very wrong.
To battle and escape one of these, you can bola it then kill it with long range weapons, don’t worry this still works when your in its jaws. But it can jump while in a bola. Same for taming but with tranqs instead of arrows or bullets.
When it grabs you either A. Hola it or B. Hit it with anything you got punch it even or C. Just give up
If it jumps up and out of the water and comes at you come at it with a metal axe
It snatch you, just do some headshots with tranqs as FAST AS U CAN. But long noodle comes and tranqs U.
If your new and your planning to live near a swamp than add lots of points to your health
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)
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).
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
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.
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.
