Encountering Tips

How do I kill a kaprosuchus? kaprosuchus encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
They will put you in their mouth and run off. Do not get close. Or you will be to go food
When you see these guys in the redwoods you’re never safe. On ark mobile when I see them and they use the pounce attack in the redwoods they jump halfway across the map
Such annoying creatures don’t trust them….
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.
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
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
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 sure to stay away from water in genesis or you’ll be in for ALOT of rage.
I speak from experience…
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
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.
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
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?
Why are these so fast i thought it was slow like a sarco but i was soo wrong
Go fishing and you’ll find this guy jumping out of blue
Spawn in the swamp
Also every water source in SE
They kill things. My basic strategy is to lure into a doedic because they spawn a lot on SE too
Be careful, these guys can grab you WHILE picked up. One grab me while I had it in my Argy’s clutches and we dropped 200 ft together. It was great bonding time.
