These are super easy to tame due to being slow on land. just run ahead of them and shoot tranqs (don’t get too close though because they can hit further than you think!)
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
If you want to tame a sarco you are gonna need so tranq arrows (20+ tranq arrows reccomended if its under level 10)
I tammer Mr.crocy when he's fighting group of flies. I just tranqed him around 4 shots. fazzak.. He fainted.. It took me 2 sleep cycles to tame him completely..he's an osm swimmer 🏊 and his jumps were damn cool man 😎
Once on Ragnorok I had full tek armor and went to the swamp to catch a sarco and got instantly killed by one.
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)
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.
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
