Do what me and my mates did
1) find a nice scaly boi
2) have one tribe member distract the sarco while your hit it with darts or arrows
3) load the sarco with food
4) congrats, u got a sarco.
Have you ever seen an itchy kill this thing.
Well mine did and saved my life from death cause I was knocked out.
I suggest you try to ko or kill from rang or with a large dino so they don't death roll you to oblivion
They are very good for traveling in the water they are very fast in the water but slow on land. They have good stamina and their attack is also pretty decent especially in the water. You only need to be around level 35 to craft a saddle and theyre great mounts. If your enemy is too strong or can dismount you (raptor for example) run into deep water on ur sarco, most land predators are slow swimmers and you can easily take them out once you lure them into the water. Just make sure to click attack a little bit before you reach your target in water because you'll dart right past it. Also they can't swim backwards and it takes a while to stop swimming too because of the momentum. I use them to hunt brontos, theris, carbonemis, trikes, raptors, even spinos but its pretty dangerous.
A beaver or two can take them on but in the old days u could go up to its leg and just kill it with a stone hatchet while it’s going u spin me right round baby right round but when they updated it so that it can pounced I get screwed every time
The best way to deal with short yet OP creatures is to climb a rock then shoot it with tranq darts
i think TLC 2 should give Sarcos way more death roll-able creatures. maybe the devs can make it take reduced damage from some creatures. they can also make it have more health because Crocodiles are also known to have armored skin. Or maybe the Sarco gets some kind of buff when it enters the swamp. Similiar to the Spino's hydration buff. And maybe Swamp creatures are passive against the Sarco and gets increased damage from the Sarco.
if this was in TLC 2, it would make the Sarco one of the best Swamp mounts and this would also make the Sarco a great PvE mount.
What you need to tame them is like 6 or 7 tranq arrows, and like 30 meat. Go on a rock so they can’t reach you and then tranq them, once they are knocked out give them the meat, they take a while to tame so be patient and you might want to have 2 or 3 narcotics near just in case. Once they are tamed you can craft a saddle for them at level 35, they go super fast in the water and when you ride them around, you can kill a lot of stuff and get lots of meat and hides.
When I was offline I tried to join but I realized a f**king sarco killed me and my dodo
R.I.P lollipop
These guys were terrorizing me when I spawn in mobile they are a pain in the butt
Sarco saddle is called sarco saddle need to be lvl 35 to get it takes forever to tame i would bring some narcotics narco berry bio toxin or somthing and what everyone says about being on a high rock to shoot with tranq arrows and stuff is so dumb they must suck and ark and be cowards bc I tamed this thing with my fists face to face no running and I didnt even get injured and I killed alot of these when I was a low lvl around 10 I think face to face with a spear 😑 but they r great pets definitely tame this.
Easy to kill. Put a spike wall infront of them and there dead. There not a problem to tame!
Do not mess with unless prepared. Get up high and shoot with arrows. You need allot.
So i was with my two parasaurs then suddenly i saw another sarco spawned on my island so i built like a cage for me to tame it but when i left my parasaurs trying to find the sarco he was literally killed by my parasaurs right in front of me and i literally went like “what the-“ like two parasaurs LOW level but i dunno that sarco was obliterated tho my two parasaurs survived somehow...
You can’t nock them out now on ark 2.0 because the torpor arrows won’t deal torpor and it will deal damage and then you can’t see there torpor with a spyglass plus they can nearly take down turtles
When running away try to stay away from water when on land Marcos are slow but in water they will catch you in seconds
These guys aren't super hard to kill as long as you have a flyer. Attack them and fly away, attack them and fly away, and continue until it's dead.
I found all the ones i’ve tamed in the south zone 2 area, they don’t spawn very often but if you look they’re there.
guess what happened with me and this thicc boy i was chilling with a wild trike suddenly i was thirsty you guy can guess what happened i swam around for a little Then it said i entered a dangerous area i looked around i see something swim at meh i thot it was a baryonxy but it was a sarco i swam I got hit one time but...IT KILLED THE TRIKE I WAS HANGING OUT WITH
