Encountering Tips
How do I kill a kaprosuchus? kaprosuchus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
decided to fly low in a swamp with my argie, a kapro jumped and kidnapped me off my argie. I live to tell my story, they do not have candy, don’t trust them.
If get kidnapped by these things just hit them with your strongest melee weapon
Ever seen a frail old lady in the supermarket get randomly dump-tackled while she was browsing the clementines?
Well guess what, if you go to the swamp, you're going to be the old lady.
Be careful when you are venturing through the swamp. These guys can can sneak up on you and snatch you in its mouth.Natures kidnapper. Punch it with all of your power and it will eventually fall asleep.
If you run across one and it happens to leap at you, bite you, and start to carry you away throw a bola at it and it will let you go.
uncariable by argy huh yeah argy or quetz and wyvern can carry it
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!
This guy is my favourite so far, right from when I first meet him, I was a noob and wandered close to a swamp well he came flying at me missed and disappeared behind me, I'm like what the neck was that, climbed a big arse rock asap and looked around, bugger came bounding back towards me and leapt straight up that rock like it was a mole hill.
Tamed the bugger and took him hunting, came across my first raptor and shat myself thinking oh rap I am screwed, nope Kappa flys over my head, collects the raptor and pile drives it into the ground several meters away, hilarious. Always fun times with Kappa around.
I shit myself a little the first time one jumped at me, not gonna lie
For all the noobs out there, if these things kidnap you in the swamp, here’s what to do. Take out your bow/ gun. Pray you have ammo and fire right into its head. This strategy has saved me countless times.
P.S. If you have a strong melee weapon such as a pike or sword on you, that also works.
Me: is within a 6 mile radius of a swamp
Kapro: Bonjour
When encountering stand at a higher ground than them
These guy are meant to jump straight not high
Hippity hoppity you are my property
Don’t go into a swamp if you need a poo.
Because if you do, a Kapro will come and scare you.
It will carry you around
Until you die on the ground
And it won’t let you return to collect your stuff.
Sit rep: I was killed by a Kapro, couldn’t get my stuff and my Pteranodon was killed. That poo came out faster than the speed of sound when that Kapro scared me. Kapros are a bit overpowered.
Don't put these guys off as weaklings. They will ruin your day. If you get grabbed by on quickly kill it before it kills you and your mount. They are very frail so it isn't too bad if you act quickly.
Run away you will die...
I was trying to find equus using my sarco as a transport there was swamp… MY SARCO GOT KILLED BY THESE!!!! NEVER GO NEAR SWAMPS!!!!
Up for Luke
If you're not careful this creature will give you the kaprosucccccccc
Dont plow through swamps with a raft. They still aggro on you and dismount you, and all of your tames on board the raft will leap into the water to protect you, dieing to a bary or sarco.
Fun fact: you can't bola a kaprosuchus
