What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Sarcos spawn around my base (Stonehedge) so I tame or kill them
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.
A way you can tame a sarco is that you get a Griffen and sit in the air hover over them and pelt them with tranqs then once they knocked clear the area of any hostiles and then put some prime meat in there inv and make sure to have some narcotic on you just incase his torpor gets to low for your liking and then just sit there and wait for them to finish taming and then when they done taming just put them in a cryo pod and doom ur done. 👍
Easiest and safest way to tame a sarco:
Tame a paracer(the weird giraffe things) and equip it with a platform saddle. Get everything you need to tame the sarco. I recommend finding the one you want to tame before you go in. Once you spot the sarco kill everything hostile in the area including kapros,titanaboas, and raptors, but NOT OTHER SARCOS. Once it’s safe turn your paracer around so that it’s facing back you way you came out of the swamp. Then dismount and run to the back of the platform to make sure the sarco is aggroed on you. Then remount the paracer and run out of the swamp. Once you’re think you’ve gone far enough turn the paracer so that the sarco is now charging towards its side. Run to the edge of the platform and shoot tranquilizers at it. The sarco is aggroed to you and not your paracer so there is no danger for your paracer. Since it’s turn radius is horrible it won’t be able to escape once it starts to torpor run. Now you can safely hop down and begin taming it.
I have three of these, Fungus, Jade, and Tar. We are UnStOpAbLe
If you are gonna tame one of these big ole beasts, all you need to do is punch the back thigh and turn when it turns because it can’t bend back which gives you an easy tame.
1:load up like it’s ww2
2:find a swamp or lake
3:locate a sarco
4:tranq it with 10 arrows
5: Shove fish meat in its mouth
6:make sure there are no other sarcos around to kill you
Vualla your very own sarco
How I tamed my sarco,
-find a sarco, I used up about 11 to 12 tranq arrows
-feed him or her fish meat
-I used soothing balm (optional)
Wait for it to wake up, then introduce the sarco friend to the rest of ur dinos!
I’m a beginner and I was dead scared of these guys because I have a boat base and ride the shores. In the bay in the south end I was attacked by one I was dead scared. So when I want to kill one I bring it to the turtle thing and that kill is it and I harvest the prime meat.
early game : 1) Fast underwater mount 2) maybe is good as defender of base against aggressive dilos. But i dont know if its worth the risk
Mid game: Has nothing to offer except eggs. Weak rideable experience with attacks that are more targeted to ONE someone so it cant fight more than 1 at time 2) health is ok, but with more than 1 at time this doesn't matter, you die (or have to run) anyway
For low-level people RUN!
It is fight or die.
For any new players, if u want to tame run up to its back legs while it is on land and whack him with a club remembering to stay away from the head. U might need 2 clubs and the use of fists. Tame it away from water so it can’t swim away.
Just don’t go into the water if you see on on land ether kill it or tame it there weakness is landing
How is there no tips????? Please just tell me
