Tips & Strategies

DEAR MOBILE PLAYER
Here's my personal experience
Sarco is strong creature with decent agility
Normal attack - Sarco will bite, deal damage twice to enemy. You can immediately turn your Sarco around by look back and do this attack
Swipe Up Attack - Sarco will lauch it self forward at short distance and deal damage to enemy in front of it. This attack more damage than normal attack (per damage, keep in mind that normal attack deal damage twice). You can't do this attack in the water.
Swipe Down Attack - Sarco will grap (only) small creature and do dead-roll that deal even more damage than Swipe Up Attack.
Plus :
1. Easy to tame, because you can outrun it (on land)
2. Fast movement in water
3. Immune form aggro if you tame it in Caves (You can find it in Clever Cave)
Negs :
1. Terrible hit box, you need really good precision to hit something with this guy
2. Starving like crazy when swimming
3. Hard to deal with large amount of enemy
More Sarco Utility Tips
Once upon a time, my Sarco and I were hunting some Megalodons for fish meat, when a pack of Cnidaria stung the both of us, I tried to swim to the shore but it's too late. Mantas and Megs attacked me and my Sarco. My Sarco tried to fight back, biting his opponents. I swam back to the shore, and... My Sarco never came back. His dead corpse was a feast for Mantas and Megalodons. I hold my fists, my mind thirst for revenge. Rifle in hand, I swam back, shooting every Megalodon and Mantas I see. It was a bloodbath, bodies of Megalodon and Mantas floating in the ocean. I avenged his death… My Sarco…
Rain pours down to the land. He left his beloved wife and son.
One like = One Sarco lives.
Essential for the ocean survival! The Sarco's speed and maneuverability under water makes it awesome for out running and staying out of attack radius of creatures. Not to mention it regains stamina instantly after not moving for just a second. And to top it off you can use crossbows or harpoon guns while mounted. Highly recommend!!!
TLC patch coming March 2018 adding "Deathroll" grab attack on small creatures and a grab attack (possibly thrash) on larger ones, gaining a 180 degree attack and a small lunge to its attack (maybe for deathroll purpose), will no longer aggo pirahnas and in the wild will sit with mouth gaped open awaiting prey.
