We were taming one when out of nowhere it glitchs through the wall and trys to kill us!
If you ever have a Sarco running up do you on your lower level try steering away from the head because if you punch the back you could possibly tame it
Well it has good loot from it if beginners like me I killed 1 today it has a advace weapons or tools on it.And also it just level 1 to 5 I just killed it by just using a bow and arrow and a tamed parasuar I'd killed it so hit the up arrow so early ark survival players can it
To encounter this creature check the swaps.
I guarantee you will find at least one if you dismount to remove leeches off your dino or raid a beaver dam.
These guys are all over the swamp regions of the island, and their swift swim speed means they'll ambush you quite easily. Stay aware of your surroundings.
Take advantage of their poor turn radius and move to the shores so they move more slowly.

My sarco always gets stuck between trees and rocks. If you’re trying to tame one try and get it stuck. Up so noobs can get this beast early on. Btw if it isn’t obvious get as many narcotics as you can. I also recommend just killing a few colecanths or piranhas for taming food.
Use soothing balm works really fast just tamed one in two seconds
If you live by the coast, these are excellent for travel but if you live deep into the island, don’t consider them. One way I use them is I ride down to the ocean and mine oil rocks and it’s a really easy way to get oil.
WARNING: 1. Make your trips short and quick down there because Sarcos don’t rise and lower in the ocean all to quick and oil rocks are typically down low, and because of oxygen
2. The ocean is dangerous so before you go down there make 100% sure you are safe
3. If there are jellyfish near an oil rock or even far away in the distance, go down there alone with a crossbow and shoot them down they will put your sarco to sleep leaving it defenseless.
It's slow AF, but usually is near Kapros and Boas, so beware. But if you manage to find one all alone just shoot in head. He'll take an age to reach you so just walk back and shoot in head again until his K.O. Then pop in stack of meat and done.
Is a bad animal but in water its fast! And it has loooots health - damage you can find thees at swamp
Give a sarco raw prime meat instead of raw meat that way it will eat the meat
Ok ok we've all been there one time i was taming 2 pteranadons and out of nowhere a sarco showed up and straight up swallowed the 2 sleeping pteranadons
To kill one with melee weapons, simply lure it towards another creature, make it attack the creature then you just hit its tail and run when it starts targetting you. If you tame one, here's some combat tips: spam the lunge attack. Don't just do normal bites as they are slow and dosent deal much damage. You can also do a quick turn by looking at the direction you wanna turn towards and perform a normal bite. They can take on rexes and spinos with ease. Even bronto.
When attcking, you should spam the abilities of this creature, mainly the lunge and if you lunged too far ahead of your target, just look back and do a normal attack to quickly turn around then you can spam lunge once again. You still can get dismounted by raptors and kapros due to sarcos not being tall enough so be sure to spam lunge to dodge their dismounting attacks or just avoid the creatures.
Honestly quite an easy game if you have a crossbow and tranqs. Maybe even with a bow.
Once I found an explorer note and I saw a sarco and a titanoboa guarding it so i gave up on the note, now I realize how weak this things are and I regret giving up the note
It's very simple to tame sarco I have tamed level 40 sarco only in 7 or 8 traqn arrows take only one 1× shooting balm it will tame in 3 minutes or 2
