Tips & Strategies

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.
More Sarco Utility Tips
Once upon a time, my Sarco and I were hunting some Megalodons for fish meat, when a pack of Cnidaria stung the both of us, I tried to swim to the shore but it's too late. Mantas and Megs attacked me and my Sarco. My Sarco tried to fight back, biting his opponents. I swam back to the shore, and... My Sarco never came back. His dead corpse was a feast for Mantas and Megalodons. I hold my fists, my mind thirst for revenge. Rifle in hand, I swam back, shooting every Megalodon and Mantas I see. It was a bloodbath, bodies of Megalodon and Mantas floating in the ocean. I avenged his death… My Sarco…
Rain pours down to the land. He left his beloved wife and son.
One like = One Sarco lives.
This is probably the best traveling creature in the game… at least on any map with intricate river and ocean systems. It is almost as fast as the itchy but it is easier to tame, it can go on land, and has ok attack (definitely better than the itchy). Isn’t that good for deep sea exploration such as getting pearls and oil like the basilo is but it is great for early game and late game. Way better for getting around than any flier, not great for getting resources but for taming something or moving base locations it is perfect. Stop sleeping on the sarco
TLC patch coming March 2018 adding "Deathroll" grab attack on small creatures and a grab attack (possibly thrash) on larger ones, gaining a 180 degree attack and a small lunge to its attack (maybe for deathroll purpose), will no longer aggo pirahnas and in the wild will sit with mouth gaped open awaiting prey.
