Crocodiles are quite scary creatures, especially in the early game of Dinkum. Sharks can easily be avoided, but crocodiles can hunt you down both on water and land. So, it can give new players quite a fright when first seeing them. You’d expect the dingoes to be the first hostile animals in the game but they’re actually very chill. Well in this guide we’ll show you how to kill not the small crocodiles, but the big bad alpha crocodile!
How To Fight Alpha Crocodile In Dinkum A Complete Guide
First, you need a few things to get ready. You’ll need at least a copper weapon. While it’s very much possible to fight the Alpha Crocodile with a simple spear, we don’t want to spend the entire day fighting it. The higher the tier of the weapon the better. In my case, I’ll be bringing a flaming bat, since it’s cool.
You’ll also need a Boogie Board, a common drop in the mines. This may be optional and if you don’t have it then bring a bunch of boats instead.
Then you need a bulletin board. This is because the request for the Alpha Croco is actually randomly given to you on the bulletin board. So, if you don’t see it then just spend a few more days checking the board every day for it. After a while, you’ll get it.
Once you accept the request it should appear on your map with a red animal symbol. So, you better start running there, or gliding there if you have a glider. To find out where to find a glider, check this guide out: Dinkum: Where To Find & Get Glider – Item Level
The fight with the Alpha Crocodile can be tough. Like the normal crocodiles, it can do a lunging bite attack. So, you better keep an eye on its moves. Remember that it takes a bit for him to aim his bite. When you see his mouth open then you should start running around him, and if he stops turning to you that means he’s going to do the bite attack.
Another move to watch out for is the ground stomp attack. He jumps and slams the ground creating stone pillars that damage you. The pillars appear outward from the Alpha crocodile with a pattern and you can actually go in-between the pillars to try and land a hit. Remember that you can’t jump over these pillars.
Once he’s low health and near water, he’s going to go and dive to try and run away, probably the most annoying thing he can do. While in the water you can’t actually attack him, but with the Boogie Board you can run after him fast enough, then jump, quickly change to your weapon, and swing at him. It takes a few tries to master it but it’s the best way to finally land the killing blow.
You can also use a boat and ride it but be careful not to hit your boat, at most it can take 2 hits before it gets destroyed.
Once you’ve defeated the crocodile, like the other Alpha animals it will drop Raw Prime Meat, which is great for cooking! Now that you know what to do, go out there and hunt that giant lizard!
