If you recently just leveled up to the point where you can research its saddle, I highly recommend taming a sarco at a low level (LV70 or below if solo). They are very fast in water and if you are on mobile, they have three great abilities plus they can attack to the sides when you angle your camera that way. The only downside is the turn speed on land and slightly poor base stats when compared to Dinos.

Get on to of a large rock and shoot it with tranquility arrows

Just get on a rock and fire tranq arrows or slingshot if you dont have tranqs

Used to solo tame a plesiosaur.

I recommend taming them when you are at a level that can craft tranc arrows.I DO NOT RECOMMEND TAMING IN WATER THESE GUYS ARE INSANELY FAST IN THE WATER.Dart them then lure them on to land then back up tranc back up tranc and you’ll have a new buddy (Get a chef station at lvl 23 for 20 amber) Craft some trike kibble for a faster game.

After awhile these guys will no longer be a threat, but a pest. Grab some bows, guns, or pikes and walk on land :)

I tamed a 95 Sarco with Kibble, Prime Meat and normal Meat in the Swamp. Boa and Carno don‘t attack it so you don‘t habe to put it out dor taming.

(mobile) Sarcos do not do well as a battle mount in deep waters. Not just because of their narrow attack range, low dps and slow vertical swimming speed. They consume food like crazy. Ever saw tips telling you this creature or that uses extreme amounts of food? Like Giga or Daedon? Well, Sarco is one of them. Its food stat drains faster than it can automatically consume, which is fine if you're going for relatively short trips like pearl diving or angler hunting, but it is a problem if you're doing something time-consuming like leading a Leeds halfway around the map back to your base. Even on high levels (442 after tame for instance) your sarco will slowly starve even when there's still a stack of meat in its inventory. An Icthy works better as a travel mount while most other underwater creatures are better for combat. If you're looking for an underwater specialist, only choose the sarco if you don't have access to other creatures yet. (Or use a bary)

(Mobile) Early-Midgame tame, quickly becomes useless after you acquire a good x-bow and tranq arrows. Mediocre health, somewhat good damage but extremely low attack rate and dps, low vertical diving speed, large turning radius and weird attack range...only saving grace is that it's unmatched in rivers, and compared to other midgame tames, very easy to kite/trap and knockout. However, the sarco's got two glitches in its favor. Spyglass and invisiglitch. Thanks to its long attack animation and high damage, spyglass can increase its dps immensely. And sarcos can be found and tamed in the Clever cave, it shares the other cave creatures's invisible glitch. Combine the two and you have an untargetable killing machine. Still not as powerful as the lategame predators and quite useless on multiplayer but still impressive.

How do i hatch its egg?

I have a a fertilized egg but can't hatch it

No cap my level 84 sarco (I was Riding him) was exploring the ocean and absolutely destroyed a level 135 megalodon and the sarco wasn't even less than 90% hp when the battle ended

1. Get wyvern egg or tame quetzel

2. Get wyvern/quetzel over to a closed in area

3. Shoot with tranq or darts

4. Fish is recommended but meat can be eaten

5. happy taming

6. Up to let people now how to tame

How to hunt/tame

They usually are walking by rivers.

Hit with a bola. Get him with club/slingshot/tranq something. he’s easy to knock out.

Give him some food.

He your best friend now.

Tame more.

I have a base on Herbivore Island and I transport metal ingots from there to my base with my Sarco. I personally think it’s an ok transport Dino in early to mid game. Especially for long distances.

These guys are easy to kill. Just get out a crossbow or longneck then just run around and shoot it.

Up if helpful

If you want to breed them you can breed up to four females

in a 6X2 box

They spawn in the water sometimes don't make your house near the water or I learned the hard way I had a moshchops and 2 high level dodo's 1 was level 40 and 1 was level 50 and a sarco killed them all !!!!!!!!!!!!sh$&

To hatch the eggs it only takes to fireplaces with spark powder it normally only takes 15 minutes or more depending on your settings.

After losing my stuff 3 times I was finally able to escape these beasts (I was level 9 at the time). A couple levels later I got the courage to tame one, and it was easier than I thought. Standing on a rock I shot 30 or so rocks at him with a slingshot, and was a able to knock him out. Luckily when he tried to flees he got stuck on a tree. Overall he was an easy tame depending on level, and I recommend taking this absolute unit

It is not a sarco it is a monster
