How do I kill a kaprosuchus? kaprosuchus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
When you think of grinding genesis drops you think about getting an egg incubator or a cryofridge but when your inventory full and you have op items that you collected one of these will latch onto you and 21 of his cousins will no joke hit you harder than will smith and you die and you can’t get to your body bc these things are camping it and when the stuff despawns they go away- Average Genesis Grinder who mains on a small tribes server
This is why I don’t go through the swamp with anything smaller than my thyla (I get a bit scared even with that) or a flyer, and I am very choosy about where to land for stamina.
Using a bola while you choke in there grasp no long works on mobile
Found lots of these near my home in schorched earth. Punch it and run to a wild anky it’ll agro at the anky and it dies in under 30 seconds. Upvote so people know.
For those who get nabbed, hope you brought a shotty, cause you cant bola them anymore
They are not just in swamps. They exist in ragnarok near the desert where the river in the southeast! I thought they only existed in swamps… Wrong RIP Raptor
If your thinking of making a swamp base, don't even bother doing it. These things can't be bola'd anymore, not even in frickin' single player, making them impossible to deal with if they catch you...
Hmm I have tamed two high Lvls and its kinda tough than sarco and its lunge is dangerous so beware
This thing is waaaaay overpowered. It's leap attack makes me rather fight a purlovia
Stay away from the water even if your on the shore they will ambush you! They literally jump from out of the waterand jump you lol
When I was a noob, I died because they grabbed me and killed me so many times. Now I have a giga and I will make them go extinct.
ALERT! These things can be immobilised by a bola I tried it one because it pounced on me and it got immobolised
I highly recommend counting on being dragged off by one of these guys, stay away from the water even on a tall mount, the lower you go, the higher the chances of you being knocked off your mount and dragged off into the water. Have a sword or bolas, I usually go with the sword option as you can just go on to kill it immediately.
The higher your Melee the better your chances of killing them with little damage taken. I've fought them off easier with the sword.
Avoid Dinos that are low to the ground cause they will snatch right off... Just avoid the swamps until you have the appropriate equipment and armor to deal with Dinos in the swamp. These guys are worse than Sarcos.
Kill at first sight so stay away or get a bigger mount they are wishis bot really easy to kill with a strong large mount

Don’t go near them they’ll nibble your toes off
These things are at every pond on scorched earth BE CAREFUL WHEN GOING TO THE OBILISKS especially when you are a low level.
These guys will ruin your day when they sneak out of the swamp water and bite your a**
Kapros will jump at you and drag you under the water. For a time you will be immobilized. Good to keep a few guardians around when hunting them.
