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

Sarcos are perfect for collecting leech blood as they aren't targeted by leeches so you just swim around and kill what you need to.

It’s easy to tame gust knock it out wile standing on a rock in a river then shoot tranqu arrows at it until it’s been knocked out then feed it meet and narcotic there amazing mounts I always use them for killing carbonemuses and other sarcos. Please like this comment guys…

I love my Sarco (Darth Gator)

Didn't intentionally get him, but he went unconscious rather quickly. I'm new to ark (within first 2 weeks) and the sarco is amazing. (water protection, fast water traversal, insane meat gather, pretty great hide gatherer, and insane…

What you need to tame a sarco as a noob

1:get meat

2:find a sarco

3:get in between the hind leg and the tail

4:start punching until unconscious

5:give sarco meat

6:congratulate yourself for taming a sarco

If this helped,pls leave a like if helped

I tamed high leveled ones and breed them to try the bosses with them and omg they killed all three bosses and all three boss categories highly recommend using them for bosses especially sense they have no oxygen stat making mutation breeding for bosses that much easier

This is an excellent all-rounder for the early game. Fast, tough, hits hard, just needs a bit of stamina. Very common on the beaches and in that lagoon thingy in the Southern Islets. Pretty slow on land and easy to get stuck behind rocks and trees. Definitely recommended

So I saw a female sarco and I punched her until her health was 200/400 anyways I’m trying to tame her but it’s a VERY VERY VERY long process. Like for me to tame more sarcos!

I play ark mobile, and let me just say that one sarco for me wasn’t enough sooooo naturally I went and tamed 5 of em and OMG I felt like king of the water(seas, oceans, lakes etc)

How to tame: A Sarco

Step One: Get Tranq. Arrows, darts, or any other weapon. Get narcotics

Step two: find Sarco

Step three: trap it (you can use traps, or you can go on a ledge where you can attack it without it biting

Step four: Feed it RAW FISH MEAT. If it’s…

Get a bow with trans arrows (1-5) for low level, go on a rock if you are low level and shoot it with tranqs. However wait for it to finish attacking animals and other Dino’s or it may be killed by them when unconscious.

I have 3, Ripjaw, Shredder, and Swampbeast. How to tame:

Get: Fish meat (raw meat works but fish meat is best)

Any kind of ranged tranquilizer weapon plus ammo.

Some narcotics (they don’t usually need them though.)

Stand on a big rock and shoot them with tranqs.

When…

It's not acknowledged in the dododex, but this thing can sprint in water. Not only can it sprint in water, but it is faster than an ichthyosaur. Is say it's swimming sprinting speed is around 2800.

OMG these things are overpowered early to mid game. I tamed a level 150 female super easily. You just run in front of it and since there slow on land you just tranq them. I leveled her to level 290 and she has 11k health and does 450 damage per bite. Need I say more?

if you cant tame an underwater mount (like me) they swim, EXTREMELY FAST underwater, they're the best for collecting oil, and even better if you have scuba gear.
