What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Don't fight Sarco in the water. They swim very fast. On land they are slow, so I recommend it to run and shot them with a bow.
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!

One of the best underwater tames EVER, easy to find, easy to tame, and it can kill a lot of crap too. They are ungodly fast underwater and don’t float to the top once underwater. And dps and speed arn’t even it’s best attributes, that would be ether be it versatility on both land and water or is defense. Absolute amazing tame, would recommend throughout both early and late game.
Good to tame it’s torpor drop is low so when taming one you can go off and find some explorer notes yea yea yea!!!
Plz
to help the bobs
Imo, these dudes are better than barys or ichthys for underwater exploring... LET ME EXPLAIN!!
So basically these guys are EXTREMELY fast underwater and also regain their stamina instantly when underwater it doesnt have a stum attack like the bary but its faster so you can just run to escape and like ichthy and bary you can use weapons on it. But barys are better for underwater caves.
He killed my level 13 dodo now 2 level 23 brontos killed him
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
Tranq it and run, they are fast so try not going near water make sure you have meat or fish that can help tame a sarco, they spawn mostly in swamps but they can spawn at beaches, be careful of there death roll you could get stuck you could also just bring some dilo’s to take it on and shoot or hit it but just stay far away.
If you don’t wanna use tranquilizer arrows or don’t have any just go super close to the middle of its body to the point where your touching it and punch it to knock it out. When your in the middle of its body it spins around so you have to spin with it as well so it can’t hit you. That’s how I got my first one(he’s dead now😢😢) and every other one I’ve caught. Now you have one.
The Sarco has been one of my most useful tames- especially for early/mid-game. I have tamed countless Rexs, Allos and Carnos simply from firing tranqs atop one of these in a river. Of course, you need to find these carnivores by water for it to be effective, but when you do, you have yourself an easy tame provided you have enough tranqs.
I was in a swamp, ignoring the big danger sign, saying to myself, “ don’t worry” WORRY PEOPLE I WAS EATEN BY TWO SARCOS ANDA TITANOBOA!!!!!
I have a lvl 202 I got from taking a 145 believe me when I say they are criminally underrated. In the water they are crazy good, do suffer a little on land but if somethings attacking you from behind you can snap the Sarco around to quickly attack, no changing direction like other dinos. Upgrade their hp and attack and you'll have no trouble.
In the water you still have to be wary of jellyfish so in my opinion the Basilo is better
If you are In the swamp or shallow ocean and see this I recommend useing a bow and flint arrows to kill sarcos and these can rarely spawn In shallow waters
Best way get a second player have him run through the swamp and find one get it to chase him and lead it back to you and just pelt it with tranq arrows and trust me if you have a high level Sarco and live near the beach it is a must
Have a Dino for bate and put it on passive (make shur it has like 20 points in heth so it dose not die ) and knock it out and feed it
