What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When you find a one of these tanks lead them to a boulder it cant get on and get on top of the boulder and fire away
Taming this thing is simple. Craft a club and make sure you have hide armour. Run to it (make sure it’s out of the water) and hit that shit. Very easy to knock Sarco’s out, might wanna slingshot them a bit too. Make sure you have raw meat and narcs, or a mortar and pestle with mats for narcs. ~HaPpY HuNtInG~
Go to a swamp and knock it out with a crossbow and tranq arrows you can just feed it normal meat come with a saddle if you are near water and are far from your base there rockets in water
I suggest landing on a rock above the sarco and just shooting down. Try knock it outside of the water due to other fish such as piranhas. Great water mount but does need to surface every now and again for air
Pretty much good for prime meat. I mean, you get prime meat by killing it. And Sarco skin.
Thay are a good tame for mid game
My dodo is dead so now I hunt saris down and kill them when ever there is one nearby. R.I.P. feathers.🪶
How do i tame it and what level
If you find a good sarco to tame in the swamp, you can build a cage on a raft and lure it in. After you've cought it just drive the raft out of the area and go tranq it somewhere safe.
It takes a while for the torpor to drop so, I'd say tranq it and then go get some prime fish meat from some sabertooth salmon.
The amount would will depend on your server settings. After you got the meat the sarcos hunger should be down by alot so you might end up instant taming it.
Normal fish meat will work too but the taming affectiveness will take a hit.
If your having trouble getting enought prime, you can also put in all the prime you have and then fish meat just to get a few more levels.
For everyone that doesn’t know, upping the oxygen on Dino’s ups their water speed, speed on land doesn’t matter when your in the water so up your oxygen on aquatics, these guys are absolutely unstoppable underwater. The only thing that can really get them if you do it right are Meg’s
If you are taming a sarco make sure that there's no other sarcos around because the will attack you and you will lose your stuf in the swamp or wherever you tame it.
The are really easy to tame due to their slow walk speed you can out run them just watch out when it gets you it does a twist attack temporarily stunning you.There saddles are really easy to make (besides the cement paste😭)
I have a good way of fighting these absolute beasts, you get a weapon and circle around their behind, as their attack hitbox is at the mouth. They will keep turning, and you will turn aswell, so you keep spinning and attacking until the sarco dies. Used this method to defend my base when i was a beginner.
sarco are very good for mid game they are fast and strong easy to tame to tame: shoot them with a tranq arrow and run form them and shoot them again till you knock it out now feed it with meat or fisch meat and now you got yourself a sarco
In early game, you might think this thing is extremely scary. But do not fear it, me and a friend once played ark together, we tamed a carbonemey or whatever they're called and a dodo. It tried to attack us but surprisingly they killed the carno. So you don't have anything to fear as long as you have a few dinos by your side
