Tips & Strategies
It's death roll attack is so scary when you are on the receiving end, just fighting through the swamp and suddenly half the screen is a mouth 😕
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 protection, especially if you draw your target towards the water. All around great tame in so many ways. This is the way 😅
Best way get a second player have him run through the swamp and find one get it to chase him and lead it back to you and just pelt it with tranq arrows and trust me if you have a high level Sarco and live near the beach it is a must
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 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 knocked out, feed it the fish meat.
Protect him from other dinos.
Enjoy your sarco!

(This is for mobile since it’s what I play on)
TAMING:
Great thing about Sarcos is their wide turning range, so easiest and cheapest way to tame one is running and shooting back with tranq arrows. On mobile, highly suggest getting an asc bow and arrow from the dilo hunt pursuit. WARNING: Sarcos are kinda fast, so prob best to jump and run while doing it. Once knocked out, best to do it at night so you can grab a sleeping bag to sleep and get its food drained, then use a soothing balm to get it quickly! How I easily got a 150 sarco
UTILITY:
It’s definitely great for traveling in water, and with its rather high weight you can steal beaver dams with ease and swim away quickly, or kill them since they have rather good melee and health. It’s great for its piranha scaring ability and turn on the spot attacking, but can get annoying when a creature is too close and you can’t hit it
Hope you enjoyed reading! <3
Just takes a 140 and I can’t do any damage with it in ascended. I might get lucky and a little bit of damage here and there but the attack on it is messed up. It is still super fast in the water though
How to tame Sarco before level 15: (at least)
1. Find Sarco
2. Lure Sarco towards you
3. Sprint towards back leg
4. Whoop with a bat in the back thigh and spin with it
5. Sarco is tamed
Up if helpful
Big croc is mean
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)
Back away slowly while shooting tranqs at it then once their Torpor is high Put kibble or taming food in the inventory.
I have lost my gallimimus because of a sarco. I trusted dododex for the narcotics count. The sarco woke up an killed me and my Genral G. One ^ for General G
I tamed one of these bois in a trap when it was level 80. I used it to get oil at sea because my base was on the beach. If you decide to do the same as me I will warn you one thing, stay clear of the jellyfish. They killed my sarco at level 138 it was defenseless because it got put to sleep. But it is good for quickly getting lots of oil early in the game, just make sure it’s safe.
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.
In the Wirithing Swamp poem:
Leeches are nuisances.
Meganeuras a rude.
IF YOU SEE SARCOS, YOU ARE DOOMED.
