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

Used to solo tame a plesiosaur.

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.

They have a really slow bite animation so what you should do is chain attacks with them by spamming the other skills. You need to spam leaps, turn your cam around towards the dino and basic attack before continuing the cycle. Many called it trash because it attacks slow but in reality, it has to spam different attacks in order to be viable in battles. Really fast underwater aswell.

I was the same guy who encountered the level 260 male sarco at level 7 and said I'll tame it and guess what, I TAMED IT! basically i shot 2 tranq arrows at it on ascendant normal bow and then hit him with 10 clubs then used the soothing balm i got from Hunt: megapiranha pursuit and put fish meat and it took 9 fish meats. The dangerous part was i knocked it down near an lvl 100 alpha carno but thankfully both me and my sarco survived.

these guys are such gigachads.

to tame one place 3 wooden billboards in a "C" shape with a large bear trap in the middle. when you aggro the sarco, walk lead it into the trap (DO NOT GO INTO ANY WATER) and when the bear trap is activated place a fourth billboard behind the sarco. shoot with tranqs and if done quickly and while the bear trap is active the sarco should not be able to break out in time. if it does just walk backwards and shoot it.

these guys are excellent Underwater mounts and will be able to swim away incredibly fast. they can kill individual megalodons even at low levels. my guy steve is a Chad. the death roll attack is great on land as well.

downsides are their slow land movement speed and the fact that they eat a lot of raw fish meat. my boy steve is one of my favourite tames.

(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.

I knocked one with a slingshot at lvl 6 :]

Best swimmers but in land it is a hell but a good dino to tame it

Ty Gremlins362, this info was very helpful when I was taming a Barry :)

~Crystaldragon

Tamed one of these with my friend and named him tank and when me and my buddy went into the swamp to tame a bary we ended finding tank and a kaprosuchus later named kate and tank and kate were awesome tank took down a bronto by himself with a little help from a pteranadon.

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 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
