Seen many a tip on how to tame a low level kapro, so here's a definitive, in-depth guide on taming your very own high level bayou death-machine. Plus some other useful tidbits.

Process below should work for all the maps they spawn in. Saddle engram unlocked at player lvl 39

First, materials.

- You will need a spyglass for scouting out higher levels. You could go without it, but flying up to groups of kapros to check their levels is just needlessly risky and terrifying. Sarcos may jump but they don't even come close to jumping like these do. Spare yourself the heart attack. Make the spyglass.

- Longneck rifle and tranq darts or a crossbow and tranq arrows. Primitive/engram grade will work but higher qualities obtained from supply crates, caves, and killing alphas work way better for knockouts. Quicker KO, and less ammo spent. But, as always bring extra supplies just to be safe.

- Sidearm like a sword, pike, shotgun, etc. to clean up or fend off the immediate area's other aggressive nasties once your kapro is down so you can tame in peace.

- Five or more spike walls for a quick safety barrier to wait out the taming process in.

When wild they don't seem to have any natural predators. If so they have very, very few. So the barrier is for player peace of mind more than anything else.

- And lastly, taming food. Regular kibble, and/or raw mutton works best. Or Tapejara kibble, and/or raw prime meat if you're on mobile.

Scout out your beefy kapro of choice and (important) *aggro them from a distance while standing on a tall rock or steep terrain. The steeper the better.

||**I do not recommend going hand to hand with high level leaping-swamp-dogs. Surefire way to lose your hard earned gear and weaker tames coming to your aid or just by-standing the crime scene too closely.

They shred even good armor and dish out disrespectful amounts of damage with their lunge attacks. Especially they're grouped up. Stay up high, park dinos responsibly, and stay safe.||

Pepper 'em as they snap at you in frustration below your perch with tranqs until they fall into torpor. With higher grade weapons this should only take a few shots. Especially if the shots hit their noggin. Their torpor drain is quite slow so no need to worry about them waking up before being tamed. Both wild and tamed Kapros don't have an Oxygen bar so no worries about them drowning either.

Assemble your spike wall barrier around them, pop your taming food into their inventory, and you're set.

Kapros make for amazing mounts and companions.

Especially on higher game difficulties.

And can be leveled into particularly vicious, loyal swamp terrors that easily rival dire wolves, fling themselves through the air at mach 6, and inflict stamina-sapping poison on whatever they hit with their lunge. Put levels into hp, a little stam 'n weight, and most importantly, melee. Spamming lunge effectively obliterates almost everything.

I highly recommend getting a breeding pair and breeding yourself an army. Their quick growth rates, ease of husbandry, and compact size make them perfect for those just getting into breeding lines or for the seasoned expert.

These chaotic little buggers only get better with mutations and imprint bonuses. Overall a fast, fun, and very rewarding creature to work with. Swamp dog is a 10/10. -Bog

When taming a Kapro take a pteranodon a sacrifice dodo and a Rex or allo. Go close to the ground throw the dodo and wile he is being killed jump on the rex or allo and kill the other low level kapros then trank your kapro tame him up and you have a kapro.

U can aesy tame a low lv with a club 4 higher lvs I suggest trank darts and a trap the trap should look like this[ _] then when I make it follow u close the last side very quickly u can trap them club but u will get more bonus lv using tranks arrows or darts

Consciousswine 75 see ya on ark

Look for one then let it grab you you have to have high health when he grabs you shoot him with toxicant arrows using bows for faster fire. Use prime.

KAPROSUCHUS TAMING✌️ - - 6-8 Tranqs! - - 15 Narcotics - Then shoot it N pop 40 Meat - prime meat , kibble —- - Yeah N u can Add A spike walls around It - if It’s N A Danger spot so That’s All! - - - -

Hope Thsi Was Helpful! - - - -

Usually Spawns At Swamp - - -

On mobile they can be bola’d, so bring an Equus and some lassos. Have your equus follow you. Stay to the edge of the swamp in a small building with windows. Wait. When one gets close, bola it, then quickly lasso it and bring it away from the swamp to K.O. (Equus can also be useful for this.). Easy safer method for taming one mid-game.

BOLAS WORK ON THE KAPROSUCHUS DODODEX IS WRONG! Bolas work on Kaprosuchus! They do! I have like 10 because of bola!

If you have high health and or armor whistle your mount passive first. Then use a spy glass to look for the one you wish to tame. Make sure there are no other Kapros around. If there are snipe them dead then allow the Kapro that you want to tame to knock your off your mount, make sure your mount is following you, and begin shooti n g it with tranq darts or arrows until its asleep then put prime meat in its inventory or mitten.

Bruh just let it jump at you and use your bat to knock it out

Argies cannot pick them up!!!!

Wait for one to grab you then tranq it while in it’s mouth I tamed two this way

These things are absolute nightmares. Even in a metal building on a raft with submerged footings these things jump straight through wall and mess u up. They then get stuck in you raft giving u hours of enjoyment trying to get it back!!!

How to tame on The Lost Island DLC

Step 1 Get a belzebufo (they can be immobilized by bolas)

Step 2 Get tranq ammo (u can shoot off the back of a frog)

Step 3 Dodge the Kaprosuchus’ leap (repeat if required)

Step 4 Knockout, tame, and Saddle the Kaprosuchus

I hate des things they kill me in my pets all the time man

These do not collect wood or thatch, only meat and other mob drops. Good swimmers, runners, and great for grabbing small animals and people. They're jump/grab attack can quickly get you out of a fight as well.

I had a lvl 223 one it was all black and I would do caves with him and then one day I did cave by volcano and he got eaten by piranhas

RIP kapro :,(

One bola and knock it out simple very simple

And it is hey good for me

First make sure you have 5 or so tranq arrows and if you have any pet put them on neutral then fire the tranq arrows at it have fun taming

Can anyone help me what kind of tameing pen do you make for these things?

You can‘t carry them with any flyer anymore
