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

Extremely fast in the water with practically no stamina consumption (it just needs to take a break for a second or two to recover stamina). Take care to not accidentally run into jellies. Lost quite a few sacro this way.

These creatures are honestly amazing tames, but can be hard to knock out especially considering there biome where they are found in.

STEPS:

You need tranq arrows (obvi) depends on the lvl anywhere from 1 - 50 usually takes 1-35 arrows, check dododex (for level and resources)

These guys tame well with normal raw meat but they prefer raw prime fish meat or raw fish meat it will save you 1 hour so kill fishes,

Next: you need to find them, sarco’s usually live in swamps which makes it harder to tame them, but if u wanna avoid killing every swamp animal and possible death, you can find them in south zone 1 or 2 easy on the beaches or shores near oceans, usually around the middle areas.

Narcotics: you need near to none, even narco berries would do, a level 45 sarco takes around 30 minutes to even lose a significant amount of torpidity, basically these guys are HUGE sleepers, when u knock these dudes out you can either get a mountain or ledge and shoot them, they can climb up some rocks, find a tricky to reach one.

Or you can just outrun them, sprint and shoot every now and then, they are slow, however DO NOT try to outrun it in water, it is a prehistoric crocodile and in water it will catch up to you and murder u with ease :)

After all these steps, starve it, it’s better, then put in meat feed, and you have a sarco, the saddle is in the 40’s I think lvl 45, make sure to check dododex for any needed help with food or saddle or narcotics, this is just tips

Thanks :)

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!

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

They are really easy to kill early game for some good exp. First off, try to juke it until you can get to its side. Next get just in front of the back leg (or around the tail, but it is harder to hit.) finally, hit it till it drops. I recommend like 6 stone hatchets of it is a high level. I lost my sinomacrops, ship, and dignity to one. Then I killed it using this method. ( it was lvl 150 if you were wondering) HOPE THIS HELPS 😁

I don’t know what to say but They’re one of the BEST tames! I know this is useless but hopefully it helped<3

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.

I use sarcos for the underwater island caves. 6k health, 1200 stam, then blast movement speed. Quickly and carefully go through the caves without needing to fight anything.

Here's a simple tip for the ones who don't know:

So basically when your riding a sarco rexes are really chill at you so you can go near them (just don't attack them)

I think they should add another crocodile type creature to the game which is more like a tank, because the strongest crocodile is the Sarcosuchus and its base health is 400.

(I know theres the Deinosuchus but you need additions for that, I want something that is in vanilla).

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

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.

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.

He killed my level 13 dodo now 2 level 23 brontos killed him

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!!!!!

Be careful with these things, I just tamed a megaladon and I'm coming back and randomly a sarco go s on my raft and kills me my friend and my megaladon

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

If you want to tame this thing just get some tranq arrows stay back spam it. If its chasing you just run down the beach line or something. DO NOT GO IN WATER YOU WILL DIE
