Sarcos are great if you get good level. get the melee to 600 percent. I have used my sarco to kill high level Brontosaurus and megalodon packs they are good on land too but the knock back is weak so dinos like theriz raptors carnos and baryonx may be a problem but if you have other dinos like trikes this won’t be an issue. Overall a great tame especially paired with creatures with good knock back like a trike.

So when I got my first one I was alone and it went fine. If you walk backwards and shoot at it(that's what it did) make sure you are far enough away from it you don't die, it runs away from you when it's starting to get sleepy. I recommend about 4 stacks of raw meat for it. For arrows I brought 60 and used most of them but yet again each animal has a different amount of arrows they need to be knocked out. I used about 20 on my second sargo.

When tamping these creatures remember to NOT go near water or go in water because they will attempt to swim towards you and easily defeat you. You would need a ton of narc arrows and stay on a high place. If you are getting attacked by another thing they will eventually attack each other lowering each other’s health. Best to make a camp near a cliff where they can’t get you (You might have a chance of getting 2 dinos at once if they are fighting each other).

These guys are so easy to knock out and need not a lot of meat and narcotics so if you see one you can take it out with a slingshot pretty easily and insanely easy with tranq arrows. They are a great mount for people who would rather focus on building early game and get mounts later on since once you can learn the saddle I prefer it over a raptor for a scout/hunter since you can go underwater and farm chiton easily and not be afraid of water dinos.

Ok so what do you do when a sarco chases me? Answer: keep to their tail. They can’t bite you if they can’t reach you. Get your strongest weapon and hit it in the tail and belly. When it turns, turn with it. Don’t try to hop on it’s back. Unless your a god or hacker at this game you have 98% of dying trying to do it. Sarcos are fast even on land and they won’t get board of trying to eat you so don’t even think about running. Btw they drop ALOT of good loot. 🐊🦖

Sarcos are big and slow as long as on land a trap is not necessary to tame one but if you want to build a trap I recommend three stone foundations all placed vertically stone walls placed around the all sides except the very front where you will place a doorframe(don't worry they cannot fit through one) lastly two stairs, you will want to place one on the top of the back most wall then place a second stair on the on the other stair not on the sides on the bottom. If it makes you feel better you can add a third stair but on is not necessary and you may need a fourth foundation. Tranq that baby out feed it some meat 🍖 wait then you got yourself a Sarco🐊. You will need three foundations, 8 walls, one doorframe and two stairs.

I find sarcos rlly useful if you have a raft base and u want a under water tame, cuz you can just place them on it while other under water tames you always have to put them follow u when you move the raft and sometimes i forget or it dies bc something is attacking it. (I play on pvx srvr with changing zone thats why i don t have a land base)

Sarcos will randomly die when you exit the water when swimming with them. I have no idea if this is anti-mesh or fall damage but there is a chance it will instantly die or take massive amounts of damage when leaving the water. This glitch has been around for 3 years now and still hasn’t been patched. :/
