Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

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…

Last it run after you on land (and I recommend you to use a crossbow)and then shoot it with tranq arrows . The best food in my opinion is raw prime meat and raw meat. Try that and see if it will work.

If a sarco is near your spawn you can respawn over and over again to knock it out and have some time to kill dinos and gather meat (you can sprint at it's tail and keep attacking it)

I killed one with my fist all you need to do is get to its hind legs or tail and stay there since it’s so long it won’t reach you also a good way to knock one out when use it a club that’s how I killed and tamed my first Sarco

How to tame a sarco for beginners

Step one: find a place where they spawn in single amounts but uncommonly (I prefer the hidden lake and some bodies of water near the red obelisk since I don't go there very often, giving time for them to spawn, but they can spawn near…

For any new players don’t listen to people saying “make traps” just get a sling shot and if it’s to high level for that tranq arrows and your set

This creature can occasionally dismount you off your tame. To combat this, stay away as much as possible. Do not engage in combat in water as the sarco is an excellent swimmer and can easily kill you and your tame in the water.

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.

I have a question, can you shoot off these guys backs? If you answering pls put answer in utility ty :)

I live on a raft, so these things worries me. First encounter with it on my raft was when me and my friend was sailing along the SW area in Crystal Isles looking for Silica, 2 of our Parasaurs on the raft got absolutely obliterated. At that point I realize why people enclose…

If you spawn at South if you head to the right (depending on where you spawn) You can find these guys among a few friendly Spinos

Surprisingly easy to tame or kill, just:

Run up to it with bat or whatever

And STAY between the back legs and tail while hitting it

(Beware it use almost all of a bats durability)

Then feed fish meat to tame
