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

Go to a tall rock climb into it and shoot the sarco if you want to make it easier use tranq or slingshot for the slingshot it takes 40 rocks and the tranq 25 if the sarco is level 2 or 9

A tip, use Fish meat over regular meat, from my personal experience, fish meat works way better if you don’t have any prime fish meat

Just stay in the middle of it and club it, it was my first tame on ark use raw fish meat it likes it better then raw meat

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

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 :)

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

They spawn in rivers, lakes, the swamp biome (the cancerous place with the doberman-crocodiles and titanoboas), and sometimes beaches. They are most common in aberration and do not spawn in scorched earth.

I use my sarco to take down alpha raptors and even carnos but lately theirs been a glitch that my sarco randomly died when fight a alpha carno 10k hp left and just died

With the new addition (death roll) keep an eye on the Torpidity level. To much spinning will knock your sarco out like it did mine. It will take forever to wake back up so make sure you also have good weaponry/armor in case you end up playing body guard for your sarco.

I have three sarcos Fangtooth,Crockey and Swamp. I seen them kill a few mantas and a meg.

Battling, use some high level games if possible and they should kill it if you want the skin, hide, or meat. Escaping, if you are new to ark pump movement speed to run away from predators, if not get on your tame and skedaddle.

Extremely fast, faster than Megalodons.

Pressing C on PC makes it swim down really fast; be careful bc it takes forever to swim to the surface again

Use a bow/crossbow with tranks and stay on land if you go in water say goodbye to your stuff 4 ever
