What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.

When taming these big bois use fish meat instead of normal because it shortens the time it takes to tame it. Up if this helped!
Need jerky early game but have no reliable oil source? Best mount for early underwater oil collecting. Put it on follow, find some underwater oil nodes, dive, dismount, collect 1 node with your pick, mount and surface before you drown. Rinse and repeat. Keep it on neutral to take care of the mantas and sharks that’ll sneak up on you. If it dies, you die and getting your stuff back will be difficult if not impossible without another water mount so don’t take anything you’d lament losing.
Guys….if ur on mobile u don’t need a slingshot…or tranqs….I tamed uncountable sarcos with a wood bat hitting its hind leg. The first thing u have to do is get it to see u. Once it is close jump over it. It might bite u but that’s ok. Then hit its hind leg until flee then run up the the snout and nock it more. It’s so easy and, ya doing it with ranges weapons are a little easier but either way works fine. I tried on ps4 and it was a little harder but I am a mobile player so don’t take my word for that

This creature is very good as a land and water tame they are slow on land so it is easy to tame on land
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.
All you need is a slingshot some rocks raw fish meat and a high rock to sit and shoot on and bam it’s that easy
To knock out use tranq arrow shoot from distance 4 -3 times once it knock off feed 7 fish meant and 2 narcotic and 12 meat
Hope it help
Great for 1v1 combat. Not so good if it is being attacked by all sides
1. Get it stuck on something
2. Shoot it at the head
3. Give it any meat (I prefer prime meat)
4. Name it!
Bring pike walls I kid you not 3 sarcos died from raptors
OK these things are nightmares I have gotten killed by 1 five times but you wanna know what freaked me out that thing Got wrecked by some beavers So if you see one try and find some Beavers as fast as you can
This creature is absurd. He was the reason my only raptor died. So, I was riding on my raft, and I see a sarco chasing some dodos. I think, ‘oh, he won’t see me.’ He gets on my raft and attacks me. My three dilos and one raptor chase him off the boat, and kill him. But a Cnidaria literally comes out of nowhere and I jump in the water to save them. Too late. It says, ‘Your Raptorsaurus (level I have no idea, probably, like, 19, was killed by Cnidaria. I was in way too much distress, loosing my raptor. It was devastating. I cried. So, don’t go near them with pets or else…choose to take my advice or, like me, learn the hard way.

Hello, I see.these guys always frightens you... Don't worry I got some tips .
1:Find one,they usually spawn near swamp or beaches
2:go near sarco, Then run quickly to some herbivorus animals like parasaur dodo etc..(Not trike btw it will kill it)
3: These beasts always gets distracted so take that wooden club in your hand
Then yeet him while he's attacking other creatures it will get unconscious make sure you have a weapon like bow
4: I suggest giving fish meat inside it's inventory And some narcotics too( maybe 3 or 5 based upon level)
5:Then boom you got your new Friend
