An assortment of preferred foods, specific to your animal’s species, increases different stats as it levels and consumes them.

What you feed your new animal companion will determine how it levels. If you’re skilled enough to snag crocodile hatchlings, a kudo should pose no threat to you while hunting for exquisite meat. Ironically, because they will fight back, they are easier to hunt. These bucks are larger and more aggressive than their antelope friends. You will find exquisite meat by hunting kudo bucks and butchering them with a cleaver. Just go out and grab several more hatchlings and try again if you had no success raising a greater croc with your first batch. I would personally not recommend shadespicing your meat to raise your chances with hatchlings because baby crocs are so easy to find and shadespice is not.

Not only will your crocodile look leaner and meaner, but will have the stats to match. A greater animal companion has much higher stats (and often a different skin) than its standard version. It only takes one meat in the animal pen’s inventory to start crafting one crocodile, any additional meat will be converted to dung when the animal is fully grown.īefore you feed them just any meat, you need to know that there are foods for each animal that increase your chances of raising a greater animal companion. Once you’ve got a hatchling in tow ( I recommend as many as you can catch and carry) head back to your animal pen and drop them off.

If you’d like a sneak peek at what your greater croc will look like (just a little smaller) the crocodile king is on the north bank. If you want the most reliable place to find crocodile hatchlings, with just a little more danger, the pond inland in G4 always has hatchlings. This pond is swarming with adult crocs, so I’d only advise looking here if they are no longer dangerous to you. If there are no hatchlings, try clearing the parents, staying in the render area, and returning in 15 minutes. They can be on the desert side of the island side and you’ll likely need to clear their parents first. You can start looking for hatchlings is on the banks of the river at F4 and G4.

They are very heavy! It’s best to clear some inventory weight for them, especially if you haven’t started leveling up your encumbrance yet.Ĭrocodiles are even easier to get to than hyena whelps, and arguably the better pet. Croc hatchlings will run from you when you get close, so be prepared to scoop one up. They are much smaller than their parents, and a lot less aggressive. Keep your eyes peeled for hatchlings as you wander the banks of the southern river. One of the most beneficial aspects of a crocodile pet in Conan Exiles is that you are always able to walk over them, no more getting stuck in doorways or caves. Their attack is low, but they can stack bleed up to an impressive 20 times! This makes them weak against multiple opponents but very powerful against one (as long as they are not undead). The hatchlings are easy to come by on the shores of F4 and G4, wandering next to their parents on the “newb river”. They are the first viable pet the player has access to and a great pet for new players to tame and level with. Snappy and fierce, the crocodile has many benefits as a combat companion in Conan Exiles.

It is fitting that once your animal pen is constructed, they are the first great animal companion you’ll be able to reach to raise in it. Short of accidentally running into a shaleback boss, they are the first real challenge for new exiles and their reptile hide will take your tannery operation to the next level. It feels great when you take your first crocodile down.
KUDOS CROCS SERIES
I’d gotten the aggressive shaleback combat series down to memory and was beating them to death with a stone axe when I heard my first ominous hiss coming from behind me. By the time you find a croc, you had probably gotten a little confidence fighting shalebacks and imps in the area. I think we all remember our first crocodile run-in as brand new exiles wandering the banks of the Exiled Land’s southern river.
