If you wanna kill them stay by the tail that can't hot you then trust I know from experience

I play on mobile, and These guys are great creatures for everything, they are incredibly fast in the water and even on land(when tamed) they can outrun a parasaur, and parasaurs aren't slow! Unfortunately their biting speed is horrific. You can pretty much spam the spin attack which I do think it does more damage than the normal attack, and these guys can also turn on a dime whilst attacking, there is no way this guy gets ambushed, I took on a level 80 alpha raptor with this guy, my sarco had like 3800 health, but it tore through that raptor, these guys are great creatures, but due to the slow attack speed, you gotta put lots of melee into them, and stamina as well cause the lunge attack and the spin attack consumes a decent amount of stamina, but it recovers stamina in not time, so that rights all of its wrongs.

Best thing I can say is definitely go for the middle part of its body if you can't immobilize it or make it unconscious with darts. I basically had to walk around in a circle avoiding its mouth until he was unconscious. Luckily he was a level 4 and not in the 30s and up like the past few I got eaten by... Good luck!!!

As I was body guarding my mate who was building a trap for a baryonx in a fairly dangerous area with my trusty sarco named Lamin I decided it was a good idea to make some bolas cuz we had just got jumped by a pack of raptors and we used all of our bolas so as I’m collecting the last of the fiber I get jumped by 1 troodon who was able to knock me out but lamin jumped into action and saved the day my takeaway is to always keep a pet sarco near you at all times.

Very good and a quite powerful creature.Its death roll is terrific to small or medium sized water creatures or land,I think?...Anyway..In my single player,I had a SARCO named Killadi...He's only lvl 12...But his power is quite damaging...When I saw a manta gang when I was riding him,They came to attack me..When a manta came close,I accidentally swiped down in the screen,And What I see is terrific...He spinned manta in his jaws and killed it...I surely recommend to tame these beasts....Now,my Killadi is lvl 94...😀😀

Ark Mobile: You have entered a dangerous area!

Me: Where?

Me: Oh that chonky Sarco? I have a club and some meat. Watch me become the dangerous area

I’m telling you right now, cliffs will really be your friend when taming. Obviously you will need meat or kibble to tame. I recommend fish meat.

You will need a good amount of tranq arrows.

Then you do the standard knockout and feed.

If your in a swamp, lure it towards you on a flyer, (preferably a low level In case it dies.)

If you don’t have a cliff nearby, just run and shoot at it until you knock it out. (Get some stamina levels, they are fast.)

Hope this helped!

Best way to get a sarco is just seat near to seashore with wooden chair, he/she spawned immediately to attack you and them you can know him with arrow and enjoy your new buddy

Super fast in water greet way to get around👍

If you need a tip on how to get a saddle it’s pretty straight forward! You need a lot of cementing paste which is annoying to make lol. All you need to do is find a beaver dam and they have tones in them!!!! Be careful tho cuz the beavers get mad n can kill you so have a fast tame. You can find lots of dams in the north of the island by the snow biome btw

Hide in a wooden cage and beat it with your fist

Died to one in a lagoon in the the southern isles. Jumped onto my raft and bit of my head.

Tamed one at level 37, now I'm level 94 and he's still OP as hell. Damage like a T-Rex, fast in water like a speed boat and able to kill a Level 100 Mosasaurus.

This dude safed me so many times and you should definitely tame one. Just run backwards and shoot in his face, then turn and run a bit (repeat until he's knocked)

Can use a 1x1 foundation, 4 doorways and a couple stairs/ramp to trap it, easy and cheap trap.

Very easy tame, crossbow and at least 6 trank arrows, and some fish meat!

How to tame a sarco:

A sarco is a big crocodile that lurks in southern coasts, swamps, and rivers. It wil leap out of nowhere and it drops prime.

Materials:

A hundred arrows or so use crossbow or high percentage bow. Don’t waste darts.

A character and some ark safari tame experience.

How to tame:

1. Find sarco on land.

2. Lead it on land. In water they become Rexes to bobs.

3. Shoot tranqs on its face. Don’t get jumpscared by other Dinos especially kapros and boas.

4. Tame with FISH meat or PRIME.

5. Make an oddly costly saddle for this easily tamed bad boy.

Utility:

Defense: they do great dmg and are easy tames.

Hunting: slow on land, they have dps and insta turn on their side.

Water travel: in water they are FAST fast.

Alpha killer (aquatic): can kite alpha megs and if done with caution I BELIEVE BUT NOT SURE I think a bred and imprinted good level sarco can take on bigger threats, including caves I guess.

Enjoy your sarco!

Honestly, all you have to do is repeatedly shoot at it with tranq arrows from a rock or something. i’ve discovered they’re easy to shoot because they’re so long and big, and not good climbers. of course, slow on land too. if it’s a low level you need under ten tranq arrows, but ofc if it’s higher i’d refer to more experienced players. just got my first one, super fast underwater for sure. hope this helps <3

When you are dying of hypothermia in the winter, you have 12 health left, and you hear heavy breathing and stomping behind you...

Just killed spin-off with Sam sarco (kill spinos in water Having infinite stamina is a boon

If youre on Simple difficulty,you only need around 20 tranq arrows. Farm around 40 fish meat,it shouldn't be hard. And find a ledge where the sarco cannot completely climb. While it is on the ledge,shoot tranq arrows. Congrats,youve knocked out a low level sarco.
