What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
DO NOT TRY TO TAME IT IN WATER! You dont have a chance aganist it in water! Try to bait it to land.
This brats are annoying ! You should be safe if you climb a rock and hit it with a slingshot.
But this BRATS are faster than I thought!
Spawning near my home and attack my home and me but my dodo level 3 killed it
STUPID BRATS!
Oh and maybe bola it and run. Those things are fast
DO NOT TRY TO TAME IF YOU ARE A LOW LEVEL
I know how to tame them
I don’t Iol🤣😂😁😄
Bro level 10 it get knocked out in 8 tranq arrow and with tranq darts are needed only 4 and with shocking darts only 2
My dodo helped me keep in place cause it couldnt hit it I knocked it out easily with club and did I mention it was a 145 on day7
This is how I tamed my sarco on mobile I got a friend and we whacked it with a club and then fed it fish meat it tamed and now it’s level 35 and can take on a Meg -lava
I literally have tamed two sarcos a tapejara and a dire wolf just by knocking them out putting food in its inventory and leaving. Later I check my tames and there it is. Simple!
I killing him with triceratops
Killed my dodo but I still had another one
Easy tame. One time I joined a new server and there was an abandoned thatch base shaped like this |___
It had door frames all around but anyways I saw a sarco and punched it. Then I lead it to the thatch thing and when it was following me I ran through the doorframe. Then I started nailing him in the forehead with my fists (I was lvl 3 or 4). I knocked him out and just starved him and shoved some raw meat up his butt and he loved me. Only thing that was a bit concerning was the torpor if you just started. But anyways I hope this was helpful.
Just so you know, sarcos are stronger while they are wild. They are very fast and good tames if you like the water and want to not die. They are strong, lazy, fat crocodiles that try to protect you. If you see one on land, you don’t have to run from it. They are very slow on land and are nice to kapros but normally get killed by them. If this is useful, don’t let the devil chicken get it, please 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
These things are definitely beginner dinos. Don't be fooled by sentimental players. I have a level 253 and honestly its kinda useless. There are better dinos for everything the sarco can do on land and on water.
Firstly, its attack animation is simply one of the worst. Its aoe is very small like 30 degree in front. Ok top of that its attack speed is also very bad. Maybe 1 attack per 1.5 seconds or something. Even a raptor with 200% dmg will out damage my croc and its like 500% dmg.
Secondly, how is the kapro able to hold on to prey while a sarco isn't? The sarco has a lunge attack which basically does nothing than 1 dmg proc. And there is a barrel roll attack which can only grip tiny dinos like lystro or penguins again for 1 dmg proc.
Thirdly, its oxygen is shamefully low for an semi-aquatic tame. Enough said.
Some consolation points would be its attack in the water seems to double proc, like a dire bears attack. And its really fast in the water like real fast, fully submerged or other wise.
My conclusions,
They need to rework the sarco. Its a really weak mount. Improve its dmg aoe and oxygen stat. The roll attack should dmg proc for multiple times. The lunge should at least slow if not catch victims or stun, since there is the kapro and the baryonyx already. And it should be able to kill land dinos by drowning them with a buffed oxygen stat. This is the largest, prehistoric crocodilian and wildcard just missed the opportunity to have a fun and dangerous swamp dino for their game. Its so large and cool looking but from a gameplay perspective, its really not good. Get a baryonyx or even a beelzebuffo than this.
