ARK: Survival Evolved Companion
Tips & Strategies
Careful when attempting to tame these. They may not be particularly good at anything when compared to other specialized dinos, but they do have two main things you should worry about. First is that they have to longest reach out of most any carnivores. They can reach you if you are on a rock, even if they can't climb up. They also have a stronger bit than a carno, but not as strong as an allo. The best strategy for solo taming is to be on a cliff, although they may run away. Another trick is that their turn radius is awful. So using a bow/crossbow/rifle you can just get right next to their body and keep turning with them in relative safety.
More Sarco Taming & KO Tips
I just knocked one out. I was very afraid of these monsters before but its actually a quite easy tame! I recommend this snappy thing for beginners underwater mounts. Good luck taming it. [Up so the noobs see ;D]
How to tame a sarco:
1. Craft bow and tranq arrows (if you’re a starter and you use wooden bat, you’ll just end up getting eaten)(Narcotics+stone arrow)
2. Find a sarco (not too high level or you might die) in a swamp or something. (I spawned in the Arctic when I didn’t mean to, so that’s where I got mine)
3. Get on a high rock or get it stuck and shoot it, shoot it, shoot it
4. Watch it’s corpse fall
5. Put meat/kibble in inventory (I suggest raw prime meat)
6. Wait and kill some more things
7. Name him/her sarco I (the first)
8. Don’t make him/her kill dimorphodons (Sarco I almost died)
9. Make a saddle for your sarco (a saddle for your sarco)
10. Swim and play everyday
Up if helpful. Listen to the tips. They may just save your life.
I was lvl 3 when i tamed him i used bat and i was running around and punching him in stomach. Befire that i killed some dodos and feed him. Make my comment go up so new ark players can see it plz
DO NOT listen to the person who wrote the following comment: “DO NOT tame in the lower south cave. It will get stuck on the way out and be trapped there forever.”. If it can’t (which will most likely be the case if tamed down there, because (in my experience) Sarcos struggle just entering the cave with how wide they are. But don’t listen to that guy. Just summon it out in the “Request Creature” tab and wait for it to teleport (I have summoned creatures out of the cave when they get stuck and they teleport just fine). Share this with anyone you know who struggles with that.
So I saw a female sarco and I punched her until her health was 200/400 anyways I’m trying to tame her but it’s a VERY VERY VERY long process. Like for me to tame more sarcos!
Sarcos are actually really eassy tames, you can outrun them on land by foot, and they make great mounts (asides from raptor jumps) because if you get low, just go to the nearest body of water you can just zoom away to escape danger
Good because they can go on land but are still good divers while also being able to depend themselves so if someone blocks off the river with gates you can go around on land
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

I see all these comments on how to tame it lol. Easy. Shoot it in the face while walking backwards job done. None of this tame pen rubbish or hugging its legs. If you get one in the swamp your gonna want to lure it out of the swamp though
It’s easy to tame gust knock it out wile standing on a rock in a river then shoot tranqu arrows at it until it’s been knocked out then feed it meet and narcotic there amazing mounts I always use them for killing carbonemuses and other sarcos. Please like this comment guys ✌️✌️✌️👌👌👌🤘🤘🤘
