Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a kaprosuchus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a kaprosuchus.
FYI for anyone that wants to do mutations, I have had a really hard time getting the mutations. Also I have yet to get a underbelly mutation. Not sure if this is from them just having 4 regions or what.
They can and will still lunge at you while bolo'd! Watch yourself after getting one in a bolo as it will make you into a fine meal.
Be careful. These alligators will latch on to you and won't let go. Stay high, and use tranque arrows or a tranquing rifle
if you don't have something to pick them up with lead them as far onto land as possible and kite them from way up high, they'll agro and try to jump at you but if you break their line of sight they lose interest quickly
All you need is a good pike, get pulled off your mount and poke this little f***er to death. If you are going for taming, bring a Mastercraft or ascendant crossbow, only takes about 5 narc arrows for a level 115.
Careful when in swamps and using smaller mounts it will superman outta nowhere and drag you away into the water.
When you put he in a taming cage you have to make the wall 2 high because he can climb over 1 high wall
If it happens to grab you and you have enough points in health and melee damage then you can knock it out while in its teeth.
To tame just punch him out when he picks you off of your tame on the swamp
I accidentally knocked mine out with my fists. I am level 65 and have a leveled my melee up a lot. I almost died so this definitely not the best method.
The bola doesn't seem to hold them. I used the bola on one it stopped for a few seconds than lunged while the bola was still on it and proceeded to munch my bones into paste.
These guys are a pain. Flying around on my argy in the swamp and bam out of nowhere one takes me off my mount and kills me.
Let them get you then punch shoot just tranq them when they grab you:)
Definitely will surprise attack you. One of these guys got me in it's mouth so I started shooting at it with arrows and got him to pass out before killing me. See it before it sees you!
This thing is ruthless. It grabbed me when I was at the swamp at the center, it Michael Jordan jumped me?
Dont ask “where is it“ or it will jump from up to 30 meters away directly in your face, take you and jump away again and eat you somewhere other. Search a high stone, shot it from distannce and wait until it jumpes away from the stone again.
If you get grabbed by one just pike it in the face, I killed 4 of them in primitive flak and with an apprentice pike. They aren't that strong
Try to let it grab you and then bola it bc it will hit 100% of the time. Then light him up with some darts. Its is a qick tame if u ate still in tje swamp just back peddle on sarcos and snakes for prime. Took me only 40 min for a 150
The trick is not to panic these guys are really easy to kill. Just keep a pike with you and if one grabbed you kill it as soon and as fast as you can.
Can now only pick up small to medium dinosaurs on paper only
