I feel like Princess is a very fitting name

Tamed one of these bad boys when he wandered into my base area because I rest on the shore. Soon as I tamed him I dumped every point into melee damage and now he has 1300% into it. I've taken out like 10 leedsichthyi with him so far. I definitely recommend these for EVERYONE

One of the better mounts for collecting leech blood as leeches will ignore the sarco.

It's not acknowledged in the dododex, but this thing can sprint in water. Not only can it sprint in water, but it is faster than an ichthyosaur. Is say it's swimming sprinting speed is around 2800.

They scare piranhas need I say more?

One of the absolute BEST dinos from lvl 35-50 in my opinion. Super fast in water. Not exactly the best health but the damage and speed make up for it. 100% reccomend!!

Sarcos are perfect for collecting leech blood as they aren't targeted by leeches so you just swim around and kill what you need to.

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 😅

When your taming them and they are unconscious you can jump on them and you will bounce, try the mini game I made were you jump on their back and see how many time you can bounce, my record is 19 bounces.

How to tame: A Sarco

Step One: Get Tranq. Arrows, darts, or any other weapon. Get narcotics

Step two: find Sarco

Step three: trap it (you can use traps, or you can go on a ledge where you can attack it without it biting

Step four: Feed it RAW FISH MEAT. If it’s unconsciousness drains fast, occasionally feed it narcotics. (I’m on mobile so it only took one narcotic)

Step five: be patient (it may take a while, but it is worth it!)

Step six: name your new Sarco!

Tips: A Sarco is a good battle Dino in water. The saddle may be unlocked around lvl 35. Sarco is fast underwater. Mid-lvl Dino. (I tamed mine at lvl 24)

OMG these things are overpowered early to mid game. I tamed a level 150 female super easily. You just run in front of it and since there slow on land you just tranq them. I leveled her to level 290 and she has 11k health and does 450 damage per bite. Need I say more?
