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.

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.

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!

These guys are 100% worth the tame, ez tame, trike kibble is easy to make, just use a pteranodon to get on a rock they can't reach, use a crossbow and tranq arrows and shove the kibble down it's snout, these boys are great taming mounts, as you can pull items on top of it, like the crossbow, and it takes the damage for you, so pump levels into health and melee, as you can easily regen stamina instantly by going into water.

I shall give you my knowledge of how I tame sarcos and some dinos First you must search for your target Second look at it from every angle to see what would either get you on their side or back or just land on top of them Third throw a bola or do something to keep them in place(if you want) Fourth(if you didn’t do step 3)do what I call the chasing my tail tatick which is just keeping away from the dinos jaws(this worked best on carnavors(that can’t pounce on you)and dinos that don’t run as soon as you hit them or get close or fly away
