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.
Sarco

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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…

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
Brand new to the game. Sarco is awesome. Lured a pack of raptors and a pack of sabertooths into the water and slaughtered them. Slow on land is their only drawback, but they gather meat well and hold plenty so I use them as hunters for reasonable land enemies.
Best not go near the sea of taming these guys
I was given a thylacoleo and I was making my way through the swamp when I was ambushed a sarco it broke half my armour and almost killed but my thylac knocked it out so I decided to tame it. Once it was tamed, I was ambushed by another one which killed my sarco (Killer Crok)…

Once it was tamed, I was ambushed by another one which killed my sarco (Killer Crok) and almost killed me but I escaped with my thylac and never went to the swamp again,.
These guys just like to come out of nowhere and bite your Butt off.
Weirdly strong I'm on ab and I'm just shooting round killing a bunch of kark and spino and it's not even having much trouble
I’d really stick to rivers with this one yes there are offen time therazinos but at least you don’t have to worry about kapros like in the swamp
A good way to attack them is to jump over their snout
You are welcome
To tame get on a rock and pepper it with tranks easiest way
They take wide turns so stick close to their sides and stab them. Good Luck out there:)
Behold… ‘The Termigator’.
On a side note, just find a tall rock, bring a few slingshots and stones, and start shooting. Relatively easy tame.
So have your friend run in your house with the sarco after him or her and the sarco will try to break the house but it would take a while giving you enough time to shoot a lot of tranq arrows at it while outside the house
There's a 50 percent chance these will spawn AS SOON AS YOU SPAWN IN THE SOUTH ZONE 2
I forgot to add something on my are other tip so this is gonna be long because I’m just gonna redo ) get a lot of fish meat or Raw meat ( btw are used fish meat and raw meat to tame mine ) get one or two or more depending on the heath clubs so you won’t get hurt while…
I forgot to add something on my are other tip so this is gonna be long because I’m just gonna redo ) get a lot of fish meat or Raw meat ( btw are used fish meat and raw meat to tame mine ) get one or two or more depending on the heath clubs so you won’t get hurt while trying to tame it , lure it on land , he’s gonna bite you once or more but try to go behind by the butt and tail , knock him out , once he is knocked out put the fish meat or raw meat or both in his inventory i’m pretty sure after that you just have to wait and then he’s yours you could look in the name suggestions for names.
It’s easy even a level one can get it if your careful all you have to do is hit it’s back legs that’s there weakness they turn to slow
I really believe Sarcos are one of the most underrated creatures in the game. Yeah, on land it's kind of pathetic, but it's high swim speed coupled with the ability to shoot while mounted make it EXCELLENT for taming aquatic creatures. I prefer using it over…

Shoot the target, swim away when it gets too close, rinse and repeat. Or lure targets to the coast and shoot them from the (relative) safety of the beach if you can.
Just be careful if you go exploring the Deep Ocean with them. Combat-wise, a high level Sarco can handle anglers, megalodons and even plesiosaurs (provided you have a good saddle), but you're better off running from everything else. Thankfully they have good stamina and can out-swim most everything that lives in the water.
After TLC 2 these things became monstrous. With a leap attack and a death roll the Sarco is now just as if not more dangerous than the Kapro in terms of swamp encounters.
After I tamed a lvl 260 sarco and learned saddle and slapped the saddle on it, i rode it and IT KILLED A LVL 100 ALPHA CARNO EASILY LIKE A CHICKEN WITHOUT TAKING 500+ DAMAGE
1 day after i tamed a carno and built a base in ark mobile hard a LVL 260 male sarco spawned near my base (i was level 7)! Y'all im planning to tame him when i learn crossbow and tranq arrows wish me luck boys.
