Signed kai the Dino guy
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.
The kaprosuchus is a pretty versatile tame that can be used most effectively as a terrestrial killing machine but also works for fishing (not recommended, mainly because of piranhas and baryonyx) and caving. For the kapro to be a good tame however, you’ll need to tame one that is a relatively high level since kapros at level up to 90 usually only have hp ranging from 200 to 600 in the wild.
But how do you actually use it to fight things effectively?
Well the leap attack and the idle grab can pick up pretty much anything the size of a raptor or smaller but the leap can also be utilized for a combo of sorts or getting out of sticky situations. The combo I’m talking about is really just using the leap on something too big to be picked up, following up with an m1 attack. When fighting something larger than the kapro you need to spam the leap in between regular attacks to do extra damage as much as you possibly can and it’ll make you pretty much impossible to kill for a lot of creatures (I’ve killed therizinos with this method on a lvl 230 kapro)
The leap can also be used for a more cautious approach to combat but leaping towards something, running away and leaping back in, run away, leap attack, run away and I think you get the point now lol. You can also do the opposite and run towards things, do some m1’s, leap away and repeat. Both these methods will slow down the rate that you kill things but it’ll also make you take less damage if you do it right so it’s worth it mainly if there’s a lot of threats in the area.
My favorite use of the leap though is the possibility to just utterly jumpscare small creatures, grabbing them in your mouth in the process and eat them alive with no resistance. Works with players too but be careful because players might be able to defend themselves, so be careful who you pick up.
The kapro is useful for a lot of caves because of the grabbing and leaping letting you escape danger and PICK UP any araneo and a bunch of other cave creatures and kill them pretty easily.
That’s all from me! I hope this made you
Most legitimate taming method for Kapros lvl 50 or lower(I did this at level 8, barely leveled health, and haven’t tested on high levels so it might work on them as well)
Step 1: find yourself a nice spot in the swamp to sit down near the water with your club and relax
Step 2: Get jumped by Kapro
Step 3: start clubbing/punching Kapro, it won’t be able to escape as you are in its mouth
Step 4: feed it literally any meat, I haven’t had problems with kapros actually waking up
Easy tame, you’re welcome
On mobile they ARE affected by bolas
DO NOT LAND FOR STAMINA IN THE SWAMP!!!! i lost my best Pteranodon and all my gear to a lvl 100 these guys arent ment to be taken likely and make Sarcos look like dodos
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.
Kaprosuchus are incredibly annoying in the wild but once you manage to tame one at a high enough level they can genuinely be some of the most fun creatures to use in ark. Running around grabbing smaller dinos and EATING THEM ALIVE WHILE THEY CAN’T FIGHT BACK is surprisingly fun to do. I also quite enjoy just walking up to a random wild raptor, grabbing it and running around with it in the kapro’s mouth while it fumbles and spams it’s attacks. I just carry wild raptors around and bring them near their natural prey letting them attack WHILE I’m carrying them. Lots of fun things can be done with this thing
DONT PICK THEM UP WITH ARGYS THEY CAN STILL CATCH YOU
I don’t even think it’s that hard
Honestly, all I did was when it grabbed me. I hit in the head with a bat.
And then fed it meat It was only a level three though.
When in swamps, watch yourself. These things will leap at you from nowhere, and they WILL take you off your mount if they touch you
they have leap and a grab.
To do the leap swipe up and it will leap(can also grab Dinos)
to do the grab swipe down and it will grab.
It’s also good at swimming.
And does around 40 damage when tamed.(normal attack)
They are hated for grabbing players but they are amazing tames to have.
Hope you liked this because I just tamed one of these.
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.
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 get kidnapped by these things just hit them with your strongest melee weapon
Here's the best tip to tame this on ark mobile
1. Go to a swamp that has a clip
2.shoot the kapro
3.shoot until it knocks out
4.feed it raw meat or raw prime meat
uncariable by argy huh yeah argy or quetz and wyvern can carry it
Here’s how I did it.
Step 1. Find low lvl Kapro
Step 2. Run at Kapro
Step 3. Punch Kapro til it faints
Step 4. Shove boa meat down it’s throat
This method worked twice for me, with a lvl 1 and a lvl 3. If you’re going for a high lvl, a crap load a health will see that this method still works
Pickup with argentavis drop into your taming box as usual. Will fit easily into 2x3. Walls should be at least 3 high.
