Tips & Strategies
In my experience I have found a couple of ways of taking these big boys down easily. The first one is to utilise it's turning circle as it cannot turn fast at all, so hug it's back legs, turn with it and whack it with some sort of melee weapon at the same time, a sword or pike works best for this. The second technique is to just walk backwards and shoot it with something, preferably something damaging, so I wouldn't suggest using a slingshot here. But doing this back step technique will allow you to just be too far away from the Sarco's bite, however, be careful of what can come sneaking up behind you. And by all means do not try and out swim this thing, it will win, every time.
More Sarco Encountering Tips
If u see one of these go kill it or tame it they are a pain if they are on your island I have had these constantly spawn right where I live but thankfully I set up a nice spike wall along with watch towers be careful around these AND KEEP YOUR DINOS AWAY I learned my lesson already when it took down my first Dino my otter called cuddles.... please click up to pay respects.....
my dodo (lvl 4 at the time, thought he was dead until i whistled my other dinos to follow me) was apparently in the direction of the sarco (lvl 5). he walked right into the sarco and i was convinced he was dead meat. until the sarco’s corpse just flew into the air. man, that dodo was a trooper
Give me an Up
if your sarco (princess) has ever been killed by a cycindria in water
These guys can spawn near the beaches in south 2 on the island
Interior crocodile, alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie theater
Sarcos have trouble hitting small creatures (dodos lystros etc) so you can use a small creature to distract it while you (knock it out, kill it etc)
Tip for taming, if you wanna tame of of these first take a carbonemes and set it to “only attack unconscious” then have it distract the sarco while you club its tail or leg, if it aggros towards you run until it aggros the carbonemes again, repeat until it’s knocked out and feed it raw fish meat, I repeat, raw FISH meat, normal meat don’t work nearly as well when taming a sarco
Big croc is mean
These alligator like animals span near my base I-knocked one out by shooting it white a crossbow on a raptor and I suggest taming it away from water so it can not swim away.
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 😁
