Sarco is the must useful semi-aquatic dinosaur! They can travel on land and water their fast in water but slow on land at least they can go on land and survive unlike itchys they are pretty weak when wild but if you add enough points to its damage health and stamina it'll be unstoppable here's how to tame this jurrasic Aligator! It has 3 attacks Normal bite attack lunge attack and death roll attack to do the special attacks on mobile swipe up on the left side of your screen for the lunge attack swipe down on the left side of your screen for the death roll to tame these beasts you need tranq arrows since these are not starter tames cook up some fish meat and find a sarco if there's a pretty tall rock go on it if there's no safe rocks around use your tame to run away from the sarco and get far enough so you can still shoot it but it can't get you continue this until it's knocked out then give it cooked fish meat Now you should starve it for a bit till it's hungry enough to eat the food you gave it and this will mean your gonna need Narcos so get those before taming one have a bed near the sleeping sarco so you get sleep and pass time after it's starved give it the food after a bit bam you have a jurrasic Aligator! 💅💅

Get a taller trap as they can jump at you now since the rework and will jump over a wall or railing to get you. These are AMAZING water tames. Tame these, breed them till you have crazy mutations and then bring them into the ocean and destroy everything around. Megalodon teeth have never been easier to get. Taming things is easier with these too, as you can use weapons on their back. Can also get around the map very quickly if you follow the shorelines or rivers. Great for swimming to the snow area and getting polymer. Just a great tame 10/10 5 Stars

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.

Just stay in the middle of it and club it, it was my first tame on ark use raw fish meat it likes it better then raw meat

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.

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

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)
