Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a sarco? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sarco.
Hi I guess it’s time to post this. I’m Ember, AKA, the Sarco Master 🐊. I have been posting sense 2019. You will probably know me from my many posts on this and the Dragon page. I made the “All You Need To Know” series as well. IFF U KILLL A SARCO I SHALL KILL U!!!! Anyway reptiles are my fav especially aerials and semi aquatics. My fav tames are the iggy, spino, wyvern, and ofc the SARCO!!! I… umm.. tend to find a creature I like then tame 80000 of them…. Like the deinonychus incident…. So ya! Thx for reading as I take my place with the Otter god, Jerboa king, Archy Lord, and the Defender of Bulldogs!

Once tamed, his food bar runs out sooooo quickly so be sure to put a lot of meat in his inventory :)
For beginners, these crocs will make your life on ARK so much easier and you will NOT regret you obtained one. You can ride them at lvl 35. They are super fast swimmers and even travel quickly on land too. To tame quickly:
1 ) Shoot with tranq arrows until unconscious
2 ) Fill it's inventory with Fish Meat or Prime Meat
3 ) Protect your croc from nearby enemies
4 ) Enjoy your new dino !!!!!!!!!!!!
Pro Tip: These guys are great for obtaining tons of meat on land, but bring lots of meat/fish in your crocs inventory before travelling into the water, the croc will eat and drain it's food supply very quickly while underwater. Fish gathering I DO NOT recommend with this dino.
For taming these guys I would suggest getting it onto land as they are very slow and u can outrun them easily. I would also recommend using tranq arrows or tranq darts
If you're having trouble getting one to show up, kill a few fish and leave their corpses in the water. The sarco will show up no problem.
This could actually be your first tame, just make sure it's alone then punch it from the back and it will try to turn around, just keep moving and try to be behind it and keep punching, it can't hit you, i was just messing around in a new server and i saw one of those i was going to leave anyways so i went to it from the back and kept punching it and it couldn't even turn and hit me and make sure you keep it away from water
Just keep a slight distance away and shoot narco arrows into it's head. If you upgrade your movement speed some (idk how much exactly), you could just keep walking backwards to keep the sarco from reaching you since it never runs on land (at least none of them ever did for me).
The sarcos is probably the best early to mid game mount it’s high health and stamina make it a pretty fast mount and it levels up pretty fast also not to mention its stamina and health stats level up pretty quick if you were to upgrade them Sarcosuchus are semi aquatic animals meaning the are both land and sea creatures hope this helped
Just bring a lot of narco berries and a lot of raw meat and fight it with a wooden club while running around it. Now I have Sam on mobile.
It took me 30 seconds to finish taming this beast.
It’s easy just try Sattle is level 35
Some people are saying "Trap Sarcos", but I have a quicker and easier technique (MOBILE). 1. Find a sarco. 2. Lead it to a dino that wont attack it. 3. Make sure NO dilos are around. 4. Go to the sarcos legs by its tail. 5. Make sure your bat is equipped. 6. Hit the sarco repeatedly. 7. If the sarco is knocked out, on whatever taming food you are using to tame it, click "All Stacks" if you have alot, so more level can be put into the sarco, and it will tame a bit quicker, and the taming effectiveness will be a bit high. No matter how much fish you put in after the first batch of taming food or fish, effectiveness will not go up, so thats why I included No7. In this tip. You will also want to go for high sarcos, even though they require a bunch of meat. In that occasion, always bring 15-30 Bio Toxin with you. You might need it. Also, bring cooked meat of whatever kind in case you are hungry. And 1 more thing. Its important! Always make sure your sarco is NOT INJURED, or health has been stripped away from some aggro dino. If that has happened, make sure you RUN away from it, so it can heal. If you bat it or hit it after it has had hp stripped away, you will kill it. UP this if it is helpful. I managed to tame 3 sarcos with this mechanism. But one died to a stupid manta. R.I.P Princess Sarcos.
Try to lead the creature out of the swamp before attempting to knock out and tame the sacro
I live on the little peninsula next to the swap on the bottom left of the map I had heard about how good the parcars were good mounts and managed to knock out a sarco but i didn’t have any meat on me so I killed some fish that were next to me and thank god for fish
these are soooo easy to tame guys. Sure their bite packs a large punch, but literally on my second day I saw one and used a hatchet to get him low on health so he will run and a club. They are HORRIBLE turners so just sneak up one from behind and wack it. Slow tamers, but the tapor drops really slow so just get a bed and a lot of meat and sleep by him. I have done this. Btw if u have no meat and the topor is low give it narco berrys. They don’t eat them on it’s own but u can still shove some up it’s snout. Hope it works! Bye
He was stuck in tree I got my club out I keep on hitting him I feed him he was so bad I put him in the water.crap he was fast!
People say these need so much tranqs and meat and time, they don’t
I knocked one out with my friend using a club then we just killed to coelacanth we fed it fish meat and we just waited for 3-5 minutes for a level 29
Get some tranque arrows then a crossbow. and then get on high ground.make sure it's day so you can see him/her.and then shoot with a normal arrow to get it aggrowed. Then start shooting with tranque arrows. Tame it away from water these things are fast in water. 🐊
You can use a crossbow from its back even when submerged, so it's a great mount to safely tranq other aquatic creatures.
For any new players don’t listen to people saying “make traps” just get a sling shot and if it’s to high level for that tranq arrows and your set
Knocked this sucker out and ended up staying by his side for two whole days straight.. ended up with a busted lip but bruises heal;)
