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

Really quick and useful water mounts. Instant stamina regen underwater. Only downside is it’s hp and weight. Everything else is good. I think this may be the fastest water tame on the island.

I was a noob when I saw these things. I stayed away from it until I heard a weird noise. I went to check it and the thing was dead and a castoroides was walking away from it barely damaged like a boss.

With a bow and arrow your ready to kill these thing plus snakes in 4 seconds flat or less. (Upvote so beginners can see this) hope this was a useful tip

The walk it to land method don't work anymore since they can now jump at you, get it stuck in gates and shoot from above

Faster than megalodon in ocean. Don't require stamina in water. Can kill megalodon if it have higher Meele DMG. Faster on land. Attack is average.

dude, these are such underrated beginner tames! i tamed my first one when i was level 20 and it has been with me all the way to end game! once leveled up well these speedy tank like damagers are great for the swap, lakes and beaches. the only bad thing is if you do take early…

Tip for taming, if you wanna tame of of these first take a carbonemes and set it to “only attack unconscious” then have it distract the sarco while you club its tail or leg, if it aggros towards you run until it aggros the carbonemes again, repeat until it’s knocked out…

If you do run into one of these and you just started you’re done but a couple days and you could win maybe if you’re not playing on hard-core brutal I’ma probably try that soon enough that’s all you need to hear and great for harvesting meat especially fish meat

Pro tip(silly to)

It’s a trampoline when it’s taking also give fish meat for faster taming no sothing balm needed im taming a lvl 29 in my easy mode mobile game (I would set it higher if could save my progress to ) highest lvl I’ve found so far

The definition of mediocre, it does ok damage but not amazing, it goes decently fast in water but that's about it

Yeah it's speed in the water is good, but that's it. Not very strong so don't expect it to deal crazy dmg like spino, carno, etc. I bring my spino, carno, and baryonyx, and it's way behind except for in the water. I recommend bringing it to the swamps. Carno…

1. Find a Sarco (hard part)

2. Shoot it's head with slingshot (you will easily be able to out run him)

3. Continue until he becomes unconscious

4. Feed it prime meat or fish meat

Do not try to tame these while in the water, they have enhanced speed and will easily kill you. Draw one to land and walk backwards whilst shooting tranq arrows at its head.
