They have a small window at the base of their neck where the bite hitbox doesnt reach, but they have a "hitbox" so that raptors (and alpha raptors) cant attack attack you from the front

good for early game

Dealing with Sarcos to a brand new player can seem like a daunting task, but they have a noticable weakness that can make them easy to knock out for taming. If you can get to it's side, closer to the tail it can't hit you. You can use this fact and a wooden club to take them down and feed them fish. This is also a solid method for killing them outright.

If you want to kill this Creature better bring dodos beacause my dodo killed one without losing any health

This little dude is good for picking off megs

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 their raft, and make sure it's stone at least until the second floor of your raft, they can lunge, not as big of a lunge like kapros, but they can.

Okay, so in my experience having a Sarco near is an issue, but if you have at least 3 trikes the trikes can kill the Sarco easily. (Even wild trikes will ambush Sarcos.) The trikes will mainly win! And you can take all the loot for yourself. :D

Use fish meat or prime meat dose not matter fish meat saves time. And don’t use bad language.

Great for getting prime fish meat.

These massive crocodiles or alligators are better than megladons and can easily shred while being a pretty fast water mount. Also doing a good amount of damage has to be one of the best water tames.

Hit the sarco from its side and when it rotates towards you rotate with it as you hit it and repeat the process until it’s knocked out. I was playing on the island and was looking at names on the sarco then reopened the app and wanted to share my story

Saw one attack and kill a trike, shot the sarco with a crossbow, it launched into the air with the dead trike… one of the best corpse launches ever.

So I tamed one I went in the ocean got attacked by jellyfish I died spawned and ran and my sarco... Came back up cuz he was on passive so he came up

The sacro is fairly easy to tame if you maintain a good distance and have been leveling up your speed. I've tamed 5 in my world and haven't had them hit, keep running from them and shoot them with trancs from a distance. Once knocked out use prime Meat if you have it and make sure to have narcotics. He takes a large amount of time to tame.

As long as you manage to get on their backs and they don’t show off their gymnastics moves (barrel roll) you are good and keep stabbing it with your sword until it is dead. But I recommend having something to distract it too. My Parasaur (Yoo) and I were returning home from a failure trip trying to farm chitin for some armor. And we were passing by a swamp when I saw a lvl 40 sarco and I was like Huaaaaaaa, there is a noob here. And Yoo attacked it while the sarco was focused on killing Yoo I jumped on its back and managed to balance on it and killed it with my sword. Yoo didn’t die and I wasn’t even injured.

I tamed a sarco lvl 202 it is a monster it took down brontos and I managed to even take down a megaladon and by the way they regen stamina in water so don’t pump stam

Knocked this sucker out and ended up staying by his side for two whole days straight.. ended up with a busted lip but bruises heal;)

Utility Roles for Sarco:

Water Mount. I have a soft spot for the Sarco. As annoying as it can be to stumble across one as a Beach Bob, it was my first water mount. It is fast in the water, can dive pretty deep, and Piranhas will flee from it! (level Health, Melee damage, and Movement Speed)

Combatant. This one is obvious. The Sarco is formidable on land and in water, in part due to it's barrel roll attack. ( level Health and Melee damage)

Swamp Traveller. This is a bit of a neesh, and the Kapro outclasses it in this regard, but the swamps are a lot less scary with this by your side. It's high health does make Leeches less of a concern. (level Melee damage and Movement speed)

My name is ShinyChimchar01 and if you like my tip, I've done similar on the Trike, Raptor, Para, Carbonemys, Lystro, and Moschops. Next one is on the Mesopithecus!

They can climb, and if you park your sarco on a rock, you can climb on its tail. (Tried on mobile)

IT IS FASTER THAN TRIKES ON LAND AND VERY FAST IN WATER BEST AMPHIBIAN BEFORE BARYONYX

In water they are FAST but on land they are a little slower so if you need a water Dino this is the easiest.
