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

On land they are relatively easy to defeat if you have a Bow. When you can use Pikes, Swords, and other stuff, you can defeat a Sarco using melee.

In the water, they will circle around you and make things difficult. Confront on land ONLY (if possible).

Standing on rocks…

Use alternate attack after killing your prey, harvests much more, plus the spin looks cooler. Space bar to float to. the surface, C to dive

Love these guys more than the Meg. You can surface in water and will stay afloat, while at the same stand on your Sarco without being seated on the saddle (you won't jump off to the side when coming off of the saddle). So you can aim your weapon at any direction basically.

Creatures you need in ARK

Kaprosuchus- they drain stamina of any creature and they are good on both land and water

Sarcosuchus- They are good for land and water travel and unlike the Kaprosuchus they have decent carry weight

Deinonychus- they are stronger than you think

If you want to kill a sarco, I have a great tip for it! (It will take a while but worth it in the end)

Step 1: tame at least 2-3 mid level Dilophosaurus’s

Step 2: tame 1 low-mid level Carbonemys

Step 3: shoot it with an arrow and have your tames attack it and shoot/stab…

I tame this thing I wish I knew before I tamed it. Is it is hungry if you do get it down. Get a lot of meat and narcotics. He is a good animal in the water. Btw you can knock him out with a bow and narco arrows. Make sure to run around

Tamed one of these along with a Kapro at the same time. Build 2x2 building with walls 1 high, ramps all around. I brought my Rex with me and took out all the snakes. Waited a bit till I saw one within range and shot it once and lured it to the trap kapro came with it. Tranqed…

These guys aren’t hard to tame or kill, what ur gonna do is sacrifice a pet to a close by sarco. I recommend a parasaur. Then you are gonna get a buddy to help you, or by yourself. Your gonna pull out a club and knock that thing out. And get some narcotics and raw meat. Enjoy…

Heres a few of tips and tricks from Auntie Maroon ;D

They have 2 1/2 Attacks: Regular snap attack (single tap), A death roll (Swipe up) and the 1/2 was if u use the death roll at the shore into the water u launch urself into the water B}

They gather meat fast as a torpedo…

Get on a high place and crossbow it till it’s down and use fish meat or better to tame it I got it from level 36 to level 46 just by taming it.

If you have meat and you are in water with sarco nothing can stop you.just keep moving it's stamina is unlimited . It convert meat into stamina. You better know about its speed in water.

To knock it out ez, use a club and keep runn8ng at its back leg (any) and hitting. U will garantee that u will take ZERO damage if done right up so all can see

I tried and battled a sarco that lived near my thatch base once (I was a noob) and the thing killed me 5 times before making it unconscious though I didn’t think of taming it so for revenge I killed it it is also very slow so you can outrun it easily

Hi

If you get a max level Sarco you are set for fish meat and sea transportation Megs are just as good but not a versatile
