Remember, you don’t always have to find them in the swamps.
Sarco
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Use Prime Meat To Tame The Sarco
They are pretty much a jetski, use this boi and you’ll be killing megalodona and running from Leedsichthys
Something that I don't see too much is acknowledgement of the sarcos ability to not only sprint underwater, but regen stamina while sprinting if underwater. Also, a sprinting sarco in water is the third fastest speed of any tamable creature.
Just don't go hunting in the swamp alone (Hopefully this is common sense). If you bring a decent raptor it'll destroy the sarco and even a carbonemys can do it on land. It isn't that hard to engage unless you're in the water. If you do fight it, just be…

It isn't that hard to engage unless you're in the water. If you do fight it, just be aware of you're surroundings. I got attacked by two titanoboas once while fighting it. Didn't end well. However, my raptor killed all three of them by the time I got back. That's why I say raptors are great for mid level players going on a hunting trip.
Seriously under rated mount slow on land but swims faster than a megalodon doesn't get attacked by most if not all swamp Dino's and a solid fighter 10/10 would tame again.
Its waste to build a tamming pan for it. To knock out just walk backwards and hit his head with the tranq and the job is done
The sarco once tamed all the megaparannas will not attack you if you bring it with you!
I don’t know whats all the bad reviews about this sarco they are so easy tame (If your on on a high level) and so easy to kill just get on a high rock or back up while shooting arrows or Slingshots at it
If you want to tame a sarco run up to it don’t aim for the head aim for the belly because the sarco has bad aim that’s how I tamed a sarco with my hands and named it snappy
Who agrees that these things deserve to be buffed? On mobile, sarcos have trouble killing just about anything in their habitat. When they try to kill small animals such as dodos and lystros, their bad AI combined with their weird AOE means that they can’t even hit a dodo and…
Who agrees that these things deserve to be buffed? On mobile, sarcos have trouble killing just about anything in their habitat. When they try to kill small animals such as dodos and lystros, their bad AI combined with their weird AOE means that they can’t even hit a dodo and they will get stuck on top of the dodo trying to hit it while the dodo just chills below its massive body. If you thought dodos were sitting ducks, a sarco attacking a dodo is just a big sitting duck on top of a small sitting duck 😂. For passive creatures such as phiomias, parasaurs, and moschops, sarcos have trouble catching up to them on land. For other river herbivores such as Castoroides (beaver) or carbonemys (turtle), sarcos almost always end up getting rekt trying to fight them. Their base hp and melee are both similar to that of the beaver, and while their melee is much higher than the turtle’s, their hp is much lower. Sarcos are probably the least dangerous mid/large predator to fight.
This is a MUST have. This guy isn’t that hard to tame at all and is a really good Dino for early game underwater taming, and gathering resources in rivers with lots of piranhas as they don’t agro to you when you are mounted.
Ok if you don’t have trank arrows yet just get a bat and attack its tail it works for me
U need about 5 trauq arrow to knock one out then I suggest u use a soothing balm to boost or the sarco might wake up before its tamed it takes a super long time to tame without a southing balm.
They force piranha to run to the shores when in rivers and water inlets, giving you an easier time at taming those otters for artifact gathering.
The southern islands is where sarcos spawn most
Real easy. I shot him in the face three times with tranquilizer arrows then just fed him fish once unconscious. Fish works way better than raw meat.
How to kill one as a noob.
Omg it’s the easiest predator you can kill. You can either lure it to some wild creatures or tame a small creature (dodo, lystrosaurus, otter etc.) and yes, just one. Order your little friend to attack it. The sarco will turn to it and won’t be…

Omg it’s the easiest predator you can kill. You can either lure it to some wild creatures or tame a small creature (dodo, lystrosaurus, otter etc.) and yes, just one. Order your little friend to attack it. The sarco will turn to it and won’t be able to hit your little friend at all since they will hide under and attack it from there. Just help it by stabbing it on the tail until it dies. If it manages to attack your little friend however, I recommend getting a high-end leveled one to be able to tank its hits. This method I found really useful to farm exp as a noob.
Why do people spend their time and resources building traps for these things? All you need is a crossbow with tranquilizer arrows. Just lead the sarco on land and use a hit and run strategy because the sarcos are slow on land. Just don’t get too close.
If you get on its side right up in front of it's back leg and go in circles with it stabbing it in the stomach you can easily kill these fellas with even just primitive gear with minimal damage.
We can thank my Ark buddy for that tip.
