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 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.

Please do this

1. Find a sarco

2. Use darts

3 put food

4 boom here’s a crocodile that has lots of moves😎

Tame it above a cliff not in the water because there can be sharks and dangerous fish and mantas tame it at the bottom of the cliff you shoot if with tranq arrows to tame it.

The Sarco already got a TLC, it won’t be getting another.

If you have a sarco and you want to get ALOT of hide bite a braceosores and bring it into the water and kill it it’s so easy

Use a sword or any other weapon (preferably a ranged weapon) to kill these things but be careful. While I have no fighting experience against these things, I know that they are pretty slow on land, so get some hits on it when it’s on land. Never fight these things in water, they are super fast in there-t

I was out getting some things and. Out of the blue a sarco came at me and bite me it missed and I was running. To one of my tames he flowed my to it and I was about to fly away he kill it. They drive me nuts.

Super easy tame, there slow, so keep them on land, and just pack lots of tranq arrows and fish. All you need is time.

These annoying tanks spawn at most easy and medium spawns, they’re pretty hard to tame if you’re not levelled up and they two shot you if you’re a fresh spawn

After the TLC update they can fit through dino gates and you can now stand on a tamed one's back.

Very easy early game tame but make sure to lure it away from the swamps because of kapros, other sarcos and titanoboas

Dont feed it raw meat! Feed it raw FISH meat, it tame faster

Great early to mid game tame, defends base early game, decent mount mid game, great at collecting meat and good way for early-mid game players to get prime, although not very good for pvp.
