Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

(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…

They usually are walking by rivers.

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.

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$&

In the water, it's fast. Like absurdly fast. Like so fast it's hard to attack stuff because you can't stop in time.

Tame one of these overgrown alligators and Mega Phiranas will treat you like a king and leave you alone whenever you go in the water while sarcos are next to you

If you have no choice but to kill this thing, go on land and attack from there. Make sure to stay behind the sarco, where its head will not be able to attack you. They are very bad at turning and will have a hard time fighting.

One of the easiest dinos to tame, they are incredibly sluggish on land and all one needs to do is walk backwards while shooting them with tranqs.
