Encountering Tips

How do I kill a kaprosuchus? kaprosuchus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So me a lvl 15 nub found a lvl 3 spino, twas really ez to tame for some reason. Walked into a swamp turn around and see this thing launching itself on my spino. Long story short my spino got a nice meal.
Be careful when traveling through the swamp, they can launch at you and drag you into the water. If you act quickly, with either using a Bola or Attacking, you can escape. A high level one will be extremely dangerous if unprepared.
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
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.
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!
I lost my 150 perfect tamend managrmr for 3 of theese. When you need land for stam at extinction be sure to not land near theese. If you manage to land then whistle your managrmr to neutral.
When they leap at you it's hard to see where they go, I recommend finding a corner and staying there until it leaps then bola and either kill or knockout. This always works for me when I'm trying to tame one but another tip, just stay out the swamps
Be sure to stay away from water in genesis or you’ll be in for ALOT of rage.
I speak from experience…
Everything you need to know about Kaprosuchus
They can dismount you of certain tames
They are very underrated (don’t tame one that is lower than lvl 50)
They are on every map except for Aberration
They can regain stamina in the water
They don’t have an oxygen stat
They aren’t very fast sprinting but their leap ability makes them super fast
Be careful around them kapros I was a noob and I went to the swamp because I wanted to tame some beelzebufo (frogs) and I saw a kaprosuches and from like 20 feet away he lunged at me and grabbed me then started to crush me and thus I died they're crazy but also awesome
Please NEVER go near the swamps if unprepared YOU WILL DIE you'll will be around 5 seconds in and your in this guys jaws
If your being chased by one of these I suggest running onto a kind of high rock and take out a throwable weapon and just fire away at its HP this works for me a lot but not always
Watch out for these guys I had my direwolf on a raft and a swarm of them went for my direwolf I never saw him again.
These are carriable by Argies, I usually pick them up and drop them in a pen to tame them really easily. Though it may be because I play on mobile?
Do you not bring this guys into caves I brought to win one of them was a saddle, and they both died
Why are these so fast i thought it was slow like a sarco but i was soo wrong
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.
Don’t get too close or they will grab you
