Sarcos: all you need to know

Sarcos are strong early-mid game mounts that work as great tanks and defenders. They are best used in beaches and swamps, due too their fast speed in water, but slow speed on land. To tame a Sarco it’s best to used traqs since they have high melee. Get one trapped (which is very easy), build a trap, or simply walk backwards or hover on a flying mount. The dangers of taming a Sarco is, of course, it’s powerful jaws and tendency to leap out of nowhere. You have to watch out for the other creatures as well. Especially the jumpy saber Sarco. Once nocked feed it RAW FISH meat as it take almost 5x less to tame then reg meat. Once you have this guy craft a saddle and ride this terrifying beast! On another note, to kill a Sarco, simply shoot it or bombard it. They are really bad when attacked by multiple strong targets so use that to ur advantage. Hope this was helpful!

I just knocked one out. I was very afraid of these monsters before but its actually a quite easy tame! I recommend this snappy thing for beginners underwater mounts. Good luck taming it. [Up so the noobs see ;D]

These guys are really good early - mid game tames. They are decently fast in water and their stamina replenishes instantly when in the water. Although they are pretty slow on land. All you really need is some tranq arrows and no narcotics since their torpor drains slow. If you want to be extra safe when you tame one bring a flyer like a Pteradon or any flying creature you have at your disposal. But if you don’t want to you can just keep running until you knock it out. I personally tamed a lvl 135 and it only took 7 tranq darts and I didn’t need to feed it any narcotics to tame. Unfortunately it was 4 in the morning at the time and I had to go somewhere in about 2 hours so I was rushing to get as much sleep as I could. After it was done taming I named it and immediately left but my game crashed and I still don’t know if I have the Sarco or not but I assume no. Hope you find this a bit helpful.

DO NOT listen to the person who wrote the following comment: “DO NOT tame in the lower south cave. It will get stuck on the way out and be trapped there forever.”. If it can’t (which will most likely be the case if tamed down there, because (in my experience) Sarcos struggle just entering the cave with how wide they are. But don’t listen to that guy. Just summon it out in the “Request Creature” tab and wait for it to teleport (I have summoned creatures out of the cave when they get stuck and they teleport just fine). Share this with anyone you know who struggles with that.

How to tame a sarco:

1. Craft bow and tranq arrows (if you’re a starter and you use wooden bat, you’ll just end up getting eaten)(Narcotics+stone arrow)

2. Find a sarco (not too high level or you might die) in a swamp or something. (I spawned in the Arctic when I didn’t mean to, so that’s where I got mine)

3. Get on a high rock or get it stuck and shoot it, shoot it, shoot it

4. Watch it’s corpse fall

5. Put meat/kibble in inventory (I suggest raw prime meat)

6. Wait and kill some more things

7. Name him/her sarco I (the first)

8. Don’t make him/her kill dimorphodons (Sarco I almost died)

9. Make a saddle for your sarco (a saddle for your sarco)

10. Swim and play everyday

Listen to the tips. They may just save your life.

Good because they can go on land but are still good divers while also being able to depend themselves so if someone blocks off the river with gates you can go around on land

I see all these comments on how to tame it lol. Easy. Shoot it in the face while walking backwards job done. None of this tame pen rubbish or hugging its legs. If you get one in the swamp your gonna want to lure it out of the swamp though

How to tame a sarco:

1. Build a stone trap. A 2 by 2 foundation and doorframes for the walls. Make it two doorframes high. And use ramps so you can walk into the trap to lead the sarco in there.

2. After the sarco is stuck in the trap, shoot it with a tranquilizing ammo like tranq arrows or certain darts.

3. After it's knocked out, feed it meat or preferred kibbles.

Hope this helps!

I've made many tips on how to tame other dinosaurs if you wanna check them out. (like andrewsarchus, diplodocus, giganotosaurus, etc...).

Hares how to tame one first unlock the tranq arrow which unlocks at lvl 22 then hit one with a tranq arrow make sure you bring like 20 or so their kinda slow on land don’t fight them in the water keep shooting with tranq arrow till it sleeps the put at least 40 meat in it is easy to get meat and make sure to bring narcotics and after it done enjoy your new monster.

Get a taller trap as they can jump at you now since the rework and will jump over a wall or railing to get you. These are AMAZING water tames. Tame these, breed them till you have crazy mutations and then bring them into the ocean and destroy everything around. Megalodon teeth have never been easier to get. Taming things is easier with these too, as you can use weapons on their back. Can also get around the map very quickly if you follow the shorelines or rivers. Great for swimming to the snow area and getting polymer. Just a great tame 10/10 5 Stars
