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

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…

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.

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)…

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

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

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…

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…

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.
