What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It's better to tame one you find at a beach/river than one in the swamp. The swamp has a lot of dangers that can make taming in there a nightmare (namely titanboa and other sarco, but leeches are not fun either)
You can find them near pretty much any body of water. Sometimes they are hard to see if they are in the water. They will follow you out of the water, since they are much slower on land try to lead them away from the water.
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 .😳
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 🙂😊
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 😕
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!
Feed it fish meat when taming it’s faster than normal meat!

Hit it with a bat on the tail so it won’t get u I’m confused how I got this before a Dilo
Don't try Sarco vs Sarco, because then more Sarcos show up. That's how I lost Shelby 😭
I killed many sarcos with my carbonemys team. 1 ever invaded my home.
Warning! These guys are kind of broken in asa as sometimes they can’t attack out of water and have many other issues. Just hold off on taming these in asa until they are fixed.
It’s one of the easiest tames fr just lure it out of the swamp and don’t let titanaboas get it and he will live. P.S.
Getting it back to base can be a struggle especially if it is on th beach as it is a wide animal and don’t fit through rocks well
