Tips & Strategies

What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Single player uses:
1. Early game power dino: Sarcos are fairly strong and very easy to tame.
2. Taming mount: Sarcos are aster than they look, can turn on a dime and you can use a weapon while riding them.
3. Aquatic mount: They're even faster and more agile underwater, just beware there is a glitch where they instantly die if they go on land, though it's very rare so unlikely to happen.
How to tame Sarco before level 15: (at least)
1. Find Sarco
2. Lure Sarco towards you
3. Sprint towards back leg
4. Whoop with a bat in the back thigh and spin with it
5. Sarco is tamed

Because of bad turn radius if it has enough health, go to the tail and just keep punching, then you really knock it out easily. It was my first tame 🤣😂🤣😂
You can cage a Sarco in place, they cant hit the cage and Will stay in a mid-jump/air animation, Just did It on Gen 1.

I recommend taming one, they are super fast in the water, and they do a LOT of damage. I have tamed carnos and therizos but my one Sarco is the strongest one, I easily killed a megalodon and mine is only level 25, I only leveled up the stamina, speed and melee strength. Knocking it put is easy, just get it to follow you on land then throw some tranq arrows or darts to knock it out and feed it raw meat
Get a taller trap as they can jump at you now since the rework and will jump over a wall or railing to get you. These are AMAZING water tames. Tame these, breed them till you have crazy mutations and then bring them into the ocean and destroy everything around. Megalodon teeth have never been easier to get. Taming things is easier with these too, as you can use weapons on their back. Can also get around the map very quickly if you follow the shorelines or rivers. Great for swimming to the snow area and getting polymer. Just a great tame 10/10 5 Stars
In the Wirithing Swamp poem:
Leeches are nuisances.
Meganeuras a rude.
IF YOU SEE SARCOS, YOU ARE DOOMED.
These guys are stupid as hell in mobile so you can easily just climb on a rock and beat one of those guys once you spawn BUT on pc they are more intelligent so climbing on a rock won't cut it you have to build a trap or get on a cliff where you can't climb on if you were in the position of the sarco.
I dunno if creatures are like the pc or mobile ver in ultimate but ill assume they are like the pc version

ITS SO EASY TO TAME!!! You don’t even need a weapon I tamed a level 20 by getting by its back legs, hitting it with bare hands and when it spins run back to the legs. Then shove fish down its throat and bam, a sarco. Mine is level 93 now and I ride it in the ocean and kill megalodons for fun (I have also tamed a megalodon I aren’t losing the opportunity) now lizzy the sarco is my favourite tame ever
These guys are really good early - mid game tames. They are decently fast in water and their stamina replenishes instantly when in the water. Although they are pretty slow on land. All you really need is some tranq arrows and no narcotics since their torpor drains slow. If you want to be extra safe when you tame one bring a flyer like a Pteradon or any flying creature you have at your disposal. But if you don’t want to you can just keep running until you knock it out. I personally tamed a lvl 135 and it only took 7 tranq darts and I didn’t need to feed it any narcotics to tame. Unfortunately it was 4 in the morning at the time and I had to go somewhere in about 2 hours so I was rushing to get as much sleep as I could. After it was done taming I named it and immediately left but my game crashed and I still don’t know if I have the Sarco or not but I assume no. Hope you find this a bit helpful.
Make a croc pit and put your enemies into it.
Get at there back legs and follow in circle on land if in water pray for mercy
If you find it near your base just tame it you won't regret it. I tamed 1 I first thought it wasn't that fast then I took it in the water then I realized my mistake . Holy crap that's fast
It's better to tame one you find at a beach/river than one in the swamp. The swamp has a lot of dangers that can make taming in there a nightmare (namely titanboa and other sarco, but leeches are not fun either)
You can find them near pretty much any body of water. Sometimes they are hard to see if they are in the water. They will follow you out of the water, since they are much slower on land try to lead them away from the water.
