How to tame a sarco:

A sarco is a big crocodile that lurks in southern coasts, swamps, and rivers. It wil leap out of nowhere and it drops prime.

Materials:

A hundred arrows or so use crossbow or high percentage bow. Don’t waste darts.

A character and some ark safari tame experience.

How to tame:

1. Find sarco on land.

2. Lead it on land. In water they become Rexes to bobs.

3. Shoot tranqs on its face. Don’t get jumpscared by other Dinos especially kapros and boas.

4. Tame with FISH meat or PRIME.

5. Make an oddly costly saddle for this easily tamed bad boy.

Utility:

Defense: they do great dmg and are easy tames.

Hunting: slow on land, they have dps and insta turn on their side.

Water travel: in water they are FAST fast.

Alpha killer (aquatic): can kite alpha megs and if done with caution I BELIEVE BUT NOT SURE I think a bred and imprinted good level sarco can take on bigger threats, including caves I guess.

Enjoy your sarco!

Sarcos: all you need to know

Sarcos are strong early-mid game mounts that work as great tanks and defenders. They are best used in beaches and swamps, due too their fast speed in water, but slow speed on land. To tame a Sarco it’s best to used traqs since they have high melee. Get one trapped (which is very easy), build a trap, or simply walk backwards or hover on a flying mount. The dangers of taming a Sarco is, of course, it’s powerful jaws and tendency to leap out of nowhere. You have to watch out for the other creatures as well. Especially the jumpy saber Sarco. Once nocked feed it RAW FISH meat as it take almost 5x less to tame then reg meat. Once you have this guy craft a saddle and ride this terrifying beast! On another note, to kill a Sarco, simply shoot it or bombard it. They are really bad when attacked by multiple strong targets so use that to ur advantage. Hope this was helpful! 100 ^ for more!

-Sarco Master 🐊

I just knocked one out. I was very afraid of these monsters before but its actually a quite easy tame! I recommend this snappy thing for beginners underwater mounts. Good luck taming it. [Up so the noobs see ;D]

DO NOT listen to the person who wrote the following comment: “DO NOT tame in the lower south cave. It will get stuck on the way out and be trapped there forever.”. If it can’t (which will most likely be the case if tamed down there, because (in my experience) Sarcos struggle just entering the cave with how wide they are. But don’t listen to that guy. Just summon it out in the “Request Creature” tab and wait for it to teleport (I have summoned creatures out of the cave when they get stuck and they teleport just fine). Share this with anyone you know who struggles with that.

How to tame a sarco:

1. Craft bow and tranq arrows (if you’re a starter and you use wooden bat, you’ll just end up getting eaten)(Narcotics+stone arrow)

2. Find a sarco (not too high level or you might die) in a swamp or something. (I spawned in the Arctic when I didn’t mean to, so that’s where I got mine)

3. Get on a high rock or get it stuck and shoot it, shoot it, shoot it

4. Watch it’s corpse fall

5. Put meat/kibble in inventory (I suggest raw prime meat)

6. Wait and kill some more things

7. Name him/her sarco I (the first)

8. Don’t make him/her kill dimorphodons (Sarco I almost died)

9. Make a saddle for your sarco (a saddle for your sarco)

10. Swim and play everyday

Listen to the tips. They may just save your life.

The sarco is a large, semi-aquatic crocodilian, who can be a rather helpful starter tame, (and possibly end game). The easiest way to tame a sarco, although you may have some of your health depleted, it is a rather effective way. Find yourself an oversized crocodile and get it to come onto land, never fight an Australian crocodile in the water, or it’s all over. Once it has crawled up onto land, get between the base of the tail and it’s hind legs, then, begin to hit it with either your fists (newbie method), a bat (not as newbie), or an electric prod (definitely not newbie method). Once the overfed lizard is knocked out, place the food of your choice (kibble or fish recommended) and wait…and wait…and wait…aaaand wait some more…you get my point. And ta-da, you got yourself a prehistoric Crocodile! Enjoy!

How to tame: A Sarco

Step One: Get Tranq. Arrows, darts, or any other weapon. Get narcotics

Step two: find Sarco

Step three: trap it (you can use traps, or you can go on a ledge where you can attack it without it biting

Step four: Feed it RAW FISH MEAT. If it’s unconsciousness drains fast, occasionally feed it narcotics. (I’m on mobile so it only took one narcotic)

Step five: be patient (it may take a while, but it is worth it!)

Step six: name your new Sarco!

Tips: A Sarco is a good battle Dino in water. The saddle may be unlocked around lvl 35. Sarco is fast underwater. Mid-lvl Dino. (I tamed mine at lvl 24)

Good because they can go on land but are still good divers while also being able to depend themselves so if someone blocks off the river with gates you can go around on land

I see all these comments on how to tame it lol. Easy. Shoot it in the face while walking backwards job done. None of this tame pen rubbish or hugging its legs. If you get one in the swamp your gonna want to lure it out of the swamp though
