I was near the sea with my level 7 dilo then a sarco level 4 just came out of nowhere from the water and killed me I still don't know what happened to my dilo because it was not in attack mode (the lesson is if you find a body of water just incase keep some distance from it)

Sarcos are powerful if used right. I killed an alpha carno with a sarco because I was deep enough for it to ignore me..... and I was an early survivor when that happened.....

My teammate was knocked out in the middle of a snake and sarco infested cave and all of a sudden three phomias come out of now were at me and behind them is the biggest sarco I’ve ever seen I’m had a normal bow and actually won! And then the an titanaboa army came out of now were we fought to the last man and giant frog rip

Should I tame a sarco or a stegosaurus first????

These dudes are super fast in water! They can see you from a mile! Be super careful with killing one of these. Normally I would use arrows and a primitive bow to kill it. Also make sure you keep your distance! These guys can pounce on you from a far and bite you with their powerful jaws. This information was brought to you from a beginner.

They are pretty easy to tame if you stay not too far away and just keep shooting them with Tranqs.

These are very good for killing brontus

THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO TAMING SARCO:

1. Get a slingshot and a bunch of stones, and if possible, a bow and tranq arrows

2. Go on the jungle in west zone 1, and try to find sarco (look under cliffs)

3. Shoot it with your bow or slingshot. It cant climb if youre on the cliff

4. Once its unconcious, check if other sarcos are there. If not, walk up to the body and feed it the fish meat. If there are sarcos, shoot them too and feed them the meat.

5. Set timer in this app.

6. Go back to ark, and just wait. You can harvest ferns, chop trees, do whatever. But never lose the location of sarco.

7. Now you have an absolute powerhouse on your side!

I entered a dangerous area and looked around, ready to run. As I turn around to go back the way I came, I see a cloud of dust coming towards me. A Sarco, barely a few feet away comes charging at me and my parasaur. I turn and run until I’m safe. Then I realize my parasaur isn’t with me. I panic and run back, where I find the Sarco destroying my parasaur, who was in passive without me knowing. So I killed him with my axe and saved my favorite parasaur.

I killed one in the water it’s natural environment with my fist because it just swims in a circle it’s not hard to tame better with tranq arrows though

I tamed mine with an journey crossbow with 3 or 4 tranq arrows. Easy KO

Favorite tame for early to mid game. Ridiculously fast in water and not too bad on land. Lvl up only health and melee damage, turn radius beats megaladons and I've killed many alpha megas this way. Very beefy and can tank hits at 3k health with mounted combat, letting you tranq anything that doesn't knock you off your mount or attack the rider directly (like the Rex or spino).

They are slow. You can shoot it with tranks and it will only take around 10-20 depending on the level. Also they take trike kibble. It took me an hour and a half to tame a lvl. 12 with raw meat so use trike kibble to save you some time

They are very good tame for beginners since they are slow on land and fast in water, and you can easily knock them out because of that, but be careful to not get bitten

Ride this dino when you are shooting at a new tame. Their snout is so far from you. Trikes and other dino’s will not attack much or not at all.

Controls on switch!

L2: death-roll

R2: bite

Last: raptor

Next: pachyrhinosaurus

If you want to tame a sarco you are gonna need so tranq arrows (20+ tranq arrows reccomended if its under level 10)

it eats a lot of meat. bring at least a few stacks for adventures

Remember to defeat things guys attack and stay at the back legs where they can’t do any damage at all

I defeated 2 with a the 50 damage weapon not killing me one time it is easy get it stuck or get it attack another thing and hit it
