How do I kill a sarco? sarco battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
One has been terrorizing my beach forever now! I keep shooting it with tranquilizer arrows but it won’t pass out! I just want this stupid thing to go awayyyyyyyyyy... oh yeah and it’s killing all the animals so I’m going hungry! Send help
Killing these is easy:
You will need a bow and arrows
Get them on land and walk backwards, they are slow on land but keep distance as they can lunge forward
I have 3 Dilos and I killed 3 of these things
All you need to kill it is a primitive bow and lots of arrows if he gets close turn and run for a little bit and then start shooting him again . Make sure he isn’t close to water, cuz they are fast as fudge in water
I’m a beginner and I was dead scared of these guys because I have a boat base and ride the shores. In the bay in the south end I was attacked by one I was dead scared. So when I want to kill one I bring it to the turtle thing and that kill is it and I harvest the prime meat.
Tip : DO NOT bring these guys to waters with Cnidarias (jellyfish).
they will not survive because of their low HP pool (you can level up their health but it wont help much)
and always avoid waters with Cnidarias because their detection range is just broken.
by the way, this is how i lost my Sarco, Swampy Bob.
R.I.P
i also started a new save, deleted the previous one (i felt helpless) and tried to not repeat the same mistakes. (im still gonna tame a sarco in my new save)
Pro battle tips:
If you are a pro these beasts are easy to kill if you're a pro you can duel this beast using a pike or spear and arrows. I kill thousands of them. You might take some hits but with dodging the attacks the attacks are lesser.
Beginners battle tip:
If you're new to ark and encountered this beast you probably need to climb a really high rock and shoot it with arrows or slingshot. If they climb the rock run and find another. If you failed find one find a animal. When the sarco is distracted shoot it. Or just run away.
Thank you for following the tip! 😊
The ULTIMATE Dino team: island, mobile compatible too
Tanks: 3-5 sarcos, a therizno, and 2 brontos
Scouts: high level raptors, and mabey some sabbers
Attackers: 1giga, 2 spinos, and a Rex (if no giga spino is great sub)
Pursuits: (not on mobile) a small team of pegos with some itchy seagulls both are to drain supplies
Ariel team: idrk about aerials so I’m thinking a quiztle and some pteranodons and tappys canons attached and riders with bows
When attacking a op tribe with these dinos here is a good strategy:
Send the scouts to survey the camp, and report back. Send the aerials first, they will be kinda of wave 1/2 and will distract the op players and keep eyes mostly off the ground. Then send in the pursuits. They will rob most of the players out of their stuff and distract them. Now, start moving in the tanks and the attackers. Have the brontos break through any wall that keeps the others from getting in and then start demolishing the base. Have the raptors and sabers stay at the edge of the base to catch escapers. With this strat you will totally ruin someone’s day but become sooo op if u
win 🏆
When riding on a boat keep an eye out for these guys because unlike most other water dwelling predators, sarcos can still see you and attack you on the raft. If it gets to you it will be hard to shake off the raft, it'll make the raft move buggily, and if you don't act quick it will ruin anything you're carrying on the boat, and can of course kill you, most likely leaving you're raft stranded. If you have a partner have them stab it to death, they are weaker than they look. If you're alone, try to get as close to shore as you can and fight it off there.
Sooooo, just saying, dont put it on aggressive. I accidentally did, and well rip Scar Scar. He fought well, against a couple manta and fought as hard as could against a megalodon.
The sarco has a variety of moves that can make it dangerous so I recommend learning it’s moves before you fight it. While ridden you can turn the camera and then press attack to make the sarco spin around and attack making up for its lousy turn radius. Like modern day crocodiles it can also do the death roll. The sarco grabs a small creature in its jaws and spins itself around doing lots of damage. If the death roll misses its target the sarco will instead lunge forward.
If you want to find one, go spawn in south 2 or go to the southern islets, they are like everywhere, I’m taming one right now, her name will be dismal ( like the Great Dismal Swamp) and she is brown on top and green on the bottom.
When i first enconter this monstrosity i almost pissed my pants i ran to my base and she oh she dont stop he come to my starter base and almost killed me so i use my spear and killed him #AlmostPissedMyPants#Sarco#Ark#AlmostDie

Definitely tame one they are so fast in the water they outrun A megaledon like nobody’s business
If you see one DO NOT go in the water they are super fast swimmers
I don’t know whats all the bad reviews about this sarco they are so easy tame (If your on on a high level) and so easy to kill just get on a high rock or back up while shooting arrows or Slingshots at it
Sarcos spawn around my base (Stonehedge) so I tame or kill them
If you encounter one of these
For the low level people find a Carbonemy (the massive spiky) turtle and run towards it the sarco will probably attack it the carbonemy it almost always wins. Then from a distance watch the fight and once it’s dead harvest it.
For the higher level people tranq it it will make a amazing tame it would take 35 pieces of Raw Prime Meat with a total taming time of 1hour 27-29 minutes it would take 18 tranquilizer arrows, or 67 hits with a sling shot to knock a Sarco unconscious.
Thank you i hope this helped!
