ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Who agrees that these things deserve to be buffed? On mobile, sarcos have trouble killing just about anything in their habitat. When they try to kill small animals such as dodos and lystros, their bad AI combined with their weird AOE means that they can’t even hit a dodo and they will get stuck on top of the dodo trying to hit it while the dodo just chills below its massive body. If you thought dodos were sitting ducks, a sarco attacking a dodo is just a big sitting duck on top of a small sitting duck 😂. For passive creatures such as phiomias, parasaurs, and moschops, sarcos have trouble catching up to them on land. For other river herbivores such as Castoroides (beaver) or carbonemys (turtle), sarcos almost always end up getting rekt trying to fight them. Their base hp and melee are both similar to that of the beaver, and while their melee is much higher than the turtle’s, their hp is much lower. Sarcos are probably the least dangerous mid/large predator to fight.
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.
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.
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.
