What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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 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 ichthyosaurus.
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.
Here is how to tame Sarco:
1. Craft a bow and tranq arrows
2. Craft Narcotics
3. Find Sarco
4. Sarcos are big, so find a spot where are a lots of rocks, woods...
5. Shoot tranq arrows at it
6. When it falls feed it raw meat or raw fish meat... don't forget NARCOTICS
7. BOOM now you have a Sarco
I tamed mine with Just raw fish meat(that’s the fastest meat) and narcoberries a lot of those....and stay by it’s side with a weapon just in case
If you encounter one of these run into a trike and the trike will kill the sarco and then you can look into the sarco inventory to find some really good loot if you are lucky
Don’t stand on a wild one, you may get flung away, and you can get killed, just a warning idk if it’s a glitch on my phone or something, just be careful
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.
This damn boy is a machine in early game to mid might be hard to find a sarco with an ho under 1k if your a beginner but it is what it is if your lazy to make a trap get your tranqs ready go to a swamp and get it's attention shoot it and run shoot it and run it fells like your fighting Micheal Myers if he ever was a reptile keep going untill he's knocked out the sarco has a long cooldown to feed it again if your at the stage where you unlocked a sword go on a massacre killing diplo and other sarcos and paraar to get prime meat if your scared to go killing then from the start have a ton of narcotics with you when you tame a sarco put the skill points on stamina or health it's damage is already good but if you want go damage and HP if you get a pack of these bad boys your gonna start slaying megalodons easily (if you have a baryonx with you so he can stun)
Hope this helps
Suuuuuper underrated. Sarcos are hella fast in the water (the fastest out of any semiaquatic mount iirc) and they do decent damage. If you pump health and melee for a while you’ll have the perfect oceanic mount, since they already have decent stamina. I honestly prefer them over Baryonyx for water at this point.
They can swim fast enough to keep up with the raft. I build the back of my raft with stone foundations and walls for this reason.
You wanna tame one of these things? Ok 👍 👌 so what you'll need is 5 narcotic Arrows just to be safe and it should only need 3 to knock it out it's slow on land but also powerful so make sure you have distance and bring meat.
Sarcos are so dumb. Here is why-
I needed dodo kibble so I tamed a dodo. After getting the egg, i decided to kill it by targeting a sarco. Guess what, my dodo killed the sarco. Here are the levels- My dodo- Lvl 14 The Sarco- Lvl 20
tamed one at lvl 20 ish and is my fav Dino even at lvl 97, super powerful and fast in water, easy tame (all you need is 10 ish tranq arrows and some raw meat) definitely recommend for both beginners and pros, make sure to put quite a lot of points into speed, stamina and damage and a few into health and now u have strong boi,
Very good for low levels. I’m level 30 myself and have 6, about to hatch another. They’re BAD*SS. I 100% recommend. 5 tranq arrows, bring some narcotics, about 30 meat just in case. They’re monsters in the water.
