Single player uses:
1. Early game power dino: Sarcos are fairly strong and very easy to tame.
2. Taming mount: Sarcos are aster than they look, can turn on a dime and you can use a weapon while riding them.
3. Aquatic mount: They're even faster and more agile underwater, just beware there is a glitch where they instantly die if they go on land, though it's very rare so unlikely to happen.
Warning! These guys are kind of broken in asa as sometimes they can’t attack out of water and have many other issues. Just hold off on taming these in asa until they are fixed.
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.
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.
Interior crocodile, alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie theater
It’s easy to tame gust knock it out wile standing on a rock in a river then shoot tranqu arrows at it until it’s been knocked out then feed it meet and narcotic there amazing mounts I always use them for killing carbonemuses and other sarcos. Please like this comment guys ✌️✌️✌️👌👌👌🤘🤘🤘
One of the better mounts for collecting leech blood as leeches will ignore the sarco.
Because of bad turn radius if it has enough health, go to the tail and just keep punching, then you really knock it out easily. It was my first tame 🤣😂🤣😂
Best way get a second player have him run through the swamp and find one get it to chase him and lead it back to you and just pelt it with tranq arrows and trust me if you have a high level Sarco and live near the beach it is a must
It's death roll attack is so scary when you are on the receiving end, just fighting through the swamp and suddenly half the screen is a mouth 😕
(This is for mobile since it’s what I play on)
TAMING:
Great thing about Sarcos is their wide turning range, so easiest and cheapest way to tame one is running and shooting back with tranq arrows. On mobile, highly suggest getting an asc bow and arrow from the dilo hunt pursuit. WARNING: Sarcos are kinda fast, so prob best to jump and run while doing it. Once knocked out, best to do it at night so you can grab a sleeping bag to sleep and get its food drained, then use a soothing balm to get it quickly! How I easily got a 150 sarco
UTILITY:
It’s definitely great for traveling in water, and with its rather high weight you can steal beaver dams with ease and swim away quickly, or kill them since they have rather good melee and health. It’s great for its piranha scaring ability and turn on the spot attacking, but can get annoying when a creature is too close and you can’t hit it
Hope you enjoyed reading! <3
I love my Sarco (Darth Gator)
Didn't intentionally get him, but he went unconscious rather quickly. I'm new to ark (within first 2 weeks) and the sarco is amazing. (water protection, fast water traversal, insane meat gather, pretty great hide gatherer, and insane protection, especially if you draw your target towards the water. All around great tame in so many ways. This is the way 😅
So I saw a female sarco and I punched her until her health was 200/400 anyways I’m trying to tame her but it’s a VERY VERY VERY long process. Like for me to tame more sarcos!
I have 3, Ripjaw, Shredder, and Swampbeast. How to tame:
Get: Fish meat (raw meat works but fish meat is best)
Any kind of ranged tranquilizer weapon plus ammo.
Some narcotics (they don’t usually need them though.)
Stand on a big rock and shoot them with tranqs.
When it’s knocked out, feed it the fish meat.
Protect him from other dinos.
Enjoy your sarco!
