Tips & Strategies

A tip for newish-players: My Sarco is still only a level twenty-something, by even by level 7, she was killing Titanoboas and kiting megalodons with ease. I can't recommend the Sarco enough as a swamp hunting mount-- and as I said before, ESPECIALLY for Titanoboas. You'll have leather coming in by the hundreds. Just be careful that you go at them head-on, and that you don't take on more than a few beasties at a time. Be especially wary of the Kapro. They'll knock you flat and leave you vulnerable to whatever horrors are crouching in the shadows. Have a pike on hand for those pesky bugs that your Sarco can't reach. And beware, dear reader, the frumious Baryonyx, with jaws that bite and claws that catch. They have a penchant of attacking from the side, making it quite a hastle to get back at them. (At least, from my experiences.) Want to take on other Sarcos with your Sarco? Have no fear. Just get your melee damage up a little bit, and you should be fine.
But as always, tread carefully.

Early game I had trouble with getting hide. But not after I tamed one of these guys.
During my first 30 days of playing on my single player world, I was able to take 4 of these absolute beasts. We were UNSTOPPABLE. That was until an Alpha Megladon absolutely wrecked all four of them. Can I get an F for my boys
Ok most people say these big boys are for beginners but your wrong itβs the best guy for underwear mount it restores its stamina instantly under water itβs not good on land but put that puppy in the water you will love it 10/10
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 deathβ¦ My Sarcoβ¦
Rain pours down to the land. He left his beloved wife and son.
One like = One Sarco lives.
This thing is criminally underrated. It instantly regenerates its stamina underwater, is extremely fast, and can swim through underwater caves without fighting anything.
Good mount to take into rivers and even the ocean. Good for hunting fish and I've even seen it beat a megladon. But never use it to fight a Rex because if things go south it is a very slow land mount. Short and sweet it is a hunting mount
my FAVORITE WATER MOUNT!! outruns everything, regens stamina scary fast, barrel roll attack, and never gotta worry about them being beached or useless out of water!!! never had a problem taming them either 10/10 critter
I think I found a glitch for these wonderful beasts and I didn't see it up here so ima put it up here for yall, when your swimming with your sarco, if it runs out of energy just keep swimming, it will refill the stamina to keep going, test this out for yourself if ya want
Bye πππ€
So I will update you on Monday okay
Electric Eels CANNOT dismount you on these!!!! GOOD TAME, when youβre on genesis to get a start in the ocean biome! (Found in big biome) Happy taming and safe travels, also.... wash your hands :)
