You cannot outswim a Sarco. Period.

HOWEVER, you don't need to outswim a Sarco.

They swim too fast and are almost never able to position themselves correctly for a bite. So when swimming, just swim near the belly of the Sarco to escape with your life.

SUPER GOOD! Okay I just want to say, this thing definitely isn’t as good as a spino, but it’s really easy to tame, 3 or 4 shots with a tranq arrow and you have it. It goes SUPER fast underwater and pretty fast on land and it does a lot of damage! My level 13 killed…

Just put a dodo on a rock in the middle of a lake, they stand there trying to get it for hours, it’s a good farming/harvesting idea and it’s really funny to watch

It’s always good hunting etiquette, in my opinion, to take a Sarco with you whenever you have to go hunting in the swamps. These little dudes are great for fending off Kaprosuchus and Titanoboas!

I would suggest taming an itchy first because you can attack sharks with them and they won’t harm you and you get lots of fish meat. You can tame a sarcophagus with normal meat but they prefer fish meat and will tame faster with fish meat.

I tamed my first sarco by climbing up the back half of a rock and getting him to stand at the bottom while I repeatedly shot him with tranq arrows. Works pretty well unless you fall. In which case; may the odds be ever in your favor.

Post-TLC tamed, ridden Sarcos can now whip around and bite targets on their flanks. So much for that blind spot, eh?

Their right click lunging attack can also hit fliers flying way too close to the ground as well.
