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.

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

They DO NOT scare piranhas in ASA. Great for fast transit in water but about it. Maybe even a swamp tank to help with taming. 🤷‍♂️

What is the sarco’s saddle/mount called and what level do you have to be to have it? This is confusing me so I need help with this!! Tap the up arrow to make sure this is asked!!

I was flying around on my ptero when I crashed into a waterfall my pt flew to the side and I was on a ledge. I was about to jump off when I saw a sarcho below I shot at with pistol when I fell off and thought I was dead, but I managed to kill with sword .😳

You can easily outrun them if they start chasing you, heck even out walk them. But be careful in water they're super fast swimmers.

In my experience I have found a couple of ways of taking these big boys down easily. The first one is to utilise it's turning circle as it cannot turn fast at all, so hug it's back legs, turn with it and whack it with some sort of melee weapon at the same time, a sword or pike works best for this. The second technique is to just walk backwards and shoot it with something, preferably something damaging, so I wouldn't suggest using a slingshot here. But doing this back step technique will allow you to just be too far away from the Sarco's bite, however, be careful of what can come sneaking up behind you. And by all means do not try and out swim this thing, it will win, every time.

my FAVORITE WATER MOUNT!! outruns everything, regens stamina scary fast, barrel roll attack, and never gotta worry about them being beached or useless out of water!!! never had a problem taming them either 10/10 critter

I tamed one of these bois in a trap when it was level 80. I used it to get oil at sea because my base was on the beach. If you decide to do the same as me I will warn you one thing, stay clear of the jellyfish. They killed my sarco at level 138 it was defenseless because it got put to sleep. But it is good for quickly getting lots of oil early in the game, just make sure it’s safe.

I just shot it with tranq arrows and shoved meat inside of it 🤨, then it tamed, easy tame.

PS JB I made a tip on Stego also!

on my 2nd day of ark (real time) and i saw a female sarco who looked exactly like swamp (my sarco who was killed by jellyfish in my resent world) so i made a little wooden box 4 big woden walls and a door frame i led the sarco aka swamp the 2nd and i KO it out with 2 slingshots and i has about 50 rocks of course i missed a few times it was lvl 18 just like swamp when she was killed now it’s lvl 30 and i’m lvl 27 and i also have a rex (saw blade), carno (toast), deadly trio aka my 3 raptors Ares, hunter, and the leader ivy and a parasaur (para) her boy friend died to a 140 massive chicken with big claws 😭. Dilo,(mini killer), one of those starter bird thingys (shadow bolt) , and my baba sarco i’m rasing up now named snappy and i for got how to spell it but his name means swamp in japanese he is snappy’s dad. Dada cherry and finally chicken (both dodos.) hope u enjoyed 🙂😊

When your taming them and they are unconscious you can jump on them and you will bounce, try the mini game I made were you jump on their back and see how many time you can bounce, my record is 19 bounces.

It's death roll attack is so scary when you are on the receiving end, just fighting through the swamp and suddenly half the screen is a mouth 😕

so i love my sarco he rips to get easy lelves go in to rivers and lave lagoons to anf kill all the prahnas and fish sorry english is not my first language

1. Find one

2. Get up in a high rock

3. Tranq it. You can also use a slingshot

4. When it is knocked out give it fish meat or raw prime meat

5. Be sure to have narcoberries or narcotics

6. You’ve got yourself a Sarco!

Don't try Sarco vs Sarco, because then more Sarcos show up. That's how I lost Shelby 😭

Both wild and tamed sarcos can do the death roll just like real crocodiles. At least they can do it on mobile, I don’t know about the other versions but I assume they can there as well.

Feed it fish meat when taming it’s faster than normal meat!

Sincerely Tek_Reaper

Hit it with a bat on the tail so it won’t get u I’m confused how I got this before a Dilo

Playing solo, can't recommend the Sarcosuchus enough. Tamed a level 76, it's 117 now, and now I own the rivers. A mid level Sarco can handle megalodons, mid level spinos, rexes, and at least low level alpha raptors. My higher lever Sarco hasn't met her match yet. I find combat with them to be awkward at times but they've got great health, stam regens underwater, and once you're in position they deal good damage quickly. Couldn't ask for a better early game mount.
