Because of bad turn radius if it has enough health, go to the tail and just keep punching, then you really knock it out easily. It was my first tame ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐

Sarcos: all you need to know
Sarcos are strong early-mid game mounts that work as great tanks and defenders. They are best used in beaches and swamps, due too their fast speed in water, but slow speed on land. To tame a Sarco itโs best to used traqs since they have high melee. Get one trapped (which is very easy), build a trap, or simply walk backwards or hover on a flying mount. The dangers of taming a Sarco is, of course, itโs powerful jaws and tendency to leap out of nowhere. You have to watch out for the other creatures as well. Especially the jumpy saber Sarco. Once nocked feed it RAW FISH meat as it take almost 5x less to tame then reg meat. Once you have this guy craft a saddle and ride this terrifying beast! On another note, to kill a Sarco, simply shoot it or bombard it. They are really bad when attacked by multiple strong targets so use that to ur advantage. Hope this was helpful!
-Sarco Master ๐
I just knocked one out. I was very afraid of these monsters before but its actually a quite easy tame! I recommend this snappy thing for beginners underwater mounts. Good luck taming it. [Up so the noobs see ;D]
DO NOT listen to the person who wrote the following comment: โDO NOT tame in the lower south cave. It will get stuck on the way out and be trapped there forever.โ. If it canโt (which will most likely be the case if tamed down there, because (in my experience) Sarcos struggle just entering the cave with how wide they are. But donโt listen to that guy. Just summon it out in the โRequest Creatureโ tab and wait for it to teleport (I have summoned creatures out of the cave when they get stuck and they teleport just fine). Share this with anyone you know who struggles with that.
Good because they can go on land but are still good divers while also being able to depend themselves so if someone blocks off the river with gates you can go around on land
I see all these comments on how to tame it lol. Easy. Shoot it in the face while walking backwards job done. None of this tame pen rubbish or hugging its legs. If you get one in the swamp your gonna want to lure it out of the swamp though
How to tame a sarco:
1. Craft bow and tranq arrows (if youโre a starter and you use wooden bat, youโll just end up getting eaten)(Narcotics+stone arrow)
2. Find a sarco (not too high level or you might die) in a swamp or something. (I spawned in the Arctic when I didnโt mean to, so thatโs where I got mine)
3. Get on a high rock or get it stuck and shoot it, shoot it, shoot it
4. Watch itโs corpse fall
5. Put meat/kibble in inventory (I suggest raw prime meat)
6. Wait and kill some more things
7. Name him/her sarco I (the first)
8. Donโt make him/her kill dimorphodons (Sarco I almost died)
9. Make a saddle for your sarco (a saddle for your sarco)
10. Swim and play everyday
Listen to the tips. They may just save your life.
One of the better mounts for collecting leech blood as leeches will ignore the sarco.
They are EASY tames! I saw one early in the game and placed myself and my ptera on a cliff and shot it from there with my BOW and tranq arrows. It fell asleep. I HAD NEVER TAMED ONE. OF THESE BEFORE but i asked chat gpt for help and i got what i wanted. I came back to it later (it was still asleep) with salmon. 30 seconds later : Name your sarco!
Itโs easy to tame gust knock it out wile standing on a rock in a river then shoot tranqu arrows at it until itโs been knocked out then feed it meet and narcotic there amazing mounts I always use them for killing carbonemuses and other sarcos. Please like this comment guys โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐๐๐ค๐ค๐ค
