Hares how to tame one first unlock the tranq arrow which unlocks at lvl 22 then hit one with a tranq arrow make sure you bring like 20 or so their kinda slow on land don’t fight them in the water keep shooting with tranq arrow till it sleeps the put at least 40 meat in it is easy to get meat and make sure to bring narcotics and after it done enjoy your new monster.

DEAR MOBILE PLAYER

Here's my personal experience

Sarco is strong creature with decent agility

Normal attack - Sarco will bite, deal damage twice to enemy. You can immediately turn your Sarco around by look back and do this attack

Swipe Up Attack - Sarco will lauch it self forward at short distance and deal damage to enemy in front of it. This attack more damage than normal attack (per damage, keep in mind that normal attack deal damage twice). You can't do this attack in the water.

Swipe Down Attack - Sarco will grap (only) small creature and do dead-roll that deal even more damage than Swipe Up Attack.

Plus :

1. Easy to tame, because you can outrun it (on land)

2. Fast movement in water

3. Immune form aggro if you tame it in Caves (You can find it in Clever Cave)

Negs :

1. Terrible hit box, you need really good precision to hit something with this guy

2. Starving like crazy when swimming

3. Hard to deal with large amount of enemy

The sarcho is a really good early game Dino I know cuz I’m early game but it needs a lot of space to thrive in and just like really crocs and gators they’re fast so go on a rock and tranq it out with arrows or darts hoped this helped

Four reasons they are useful

1: Fast in water

2: Can do barrel roll

3: Can breed than kill for skin for one of the bosses

4: Good attack

Two ways they aren’t useful

1: slow on land

2: Attacks are SOOO SSLLOOOWW…

Hope this helps pros and nerbs (funny way of saying noob) alike

GET A SARCO!

These are NOT early-game tames only,they are great for underwater exploration and you will NOT regret taming one!

Every time I try to tame this guys I end up dead or the sarco ends up dead but still rip doduo

The sarco is very easy to escape, considering it's slow movement speed on land, but don't get to comfortable. And don't go into water with one around, they are VERY fast In water. I would recommend taming a high level one, they are , like I said fast in water, and overpowered for how easy they are to tame. Highly recommend.

sarcos are a good mid tame, especially if you’re living in redwoods. although I’d recommend getting yourself a spino for stronger foes ( on land ). but for exploring those seas of terror, they’re a good option. untill ark: ultimate mobile decides to add the deinosuchus or any creature tlc’s and mods, sarcos is a must pick for underwater roaming. why? try it and watch as megalodons and those rays making “screee” sounds everytime your sarco goes CHOMP.

Sarcos are one of the best mounts for starting the oceanic side of the game, if not the best.

Not only are they just solid all-around at combat and travel, but they really excel as an underwater taming mount. Theyre fast enough to kite or chase anything, powerful enough to clear nearby threats, and you can shoot from the back. Add it all up, and any knockout tame is a breeze on a sarco.

In combat, they punch well above their weight against the ocean's behemoths thanks to their ability to out-"dogfight" almost any opponent. It takes a bit of getting used to controlling their speed, but once you do you can win many fights while barely taking damage. Your only real fears are jellies, tusos, and getting stuck in a swarm, so just stay on the move and be aware of your surroundings and you'll be fine.

They're really powerfull, I used to kill alpha rexes with them, I lured the alphas to the ocean (or any deep water) and start circulating and bitting them. Make sure to have a high level sarco while doing this.

Easiest way to tame one before level 20

1 Get a slingshot and over 25 stones

2 Find a Sarco on the beach and get it to chase you

3 Walk backwards and shoot it with the sling shot

4 Name it Socks

How to escape a Sarco:

1. If you see one, run. If you want to tame it, don’t ask me.

2. If it sees you, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT run into water, or die.

3. Go into a forest or far away from water and if it’s still following then run to a trike, carboneys (turtle dino with spiky shell and is very cute), or whatever else you find.

4. (If you’re a coward.) Get as far away as possible.

5. (If you are this brave.) Get a good distance away and watch the battle.

6. If it’s dead, scoop up all the loot and be on your way. If not, repeat from instruction 3.

7. Put your stuff in a storage box or something because sometimes there’s someone watching you…

Hope you enjoyed the tip. Listen to the tips. That’s how I found out I could tame raptors. :)

To whoever is nervous about their sarco problem that posted on the sixth, raptors can kill these! As long as you have an about lvl 20ish raptor and the sarco is lower level, you’re all good!

PS if you name your raptor Aster Jr after my deceased sarco killer, I would be much obliged (respect for Aster!)

Personally my favorite early game tame, it can go under water and swim decently fast, and do very high damage. An easy way to tame is to make a simple 2 by 4 out of wood with door frames. Pick up one door way lure him in and run out a door way. Replace the missing door and tranq it and you got a sarco.

I have lost my gallimimus because of a sarco. I trusted dododex for the narcotics count. The sarco woke up an killed me and my Genral G. One ^ for General G

DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT ram into large objects such as houses or oversized rocks at full speed, I’ve lost sarcos because of me accidentally glitching them into houses and rocks while just trying to park, now this doesn’t happen all the time it’s just.. happened and I don’t want it to happen to you guys and your sarcos

If you tame sarco from clever cave than dinos won't attack you if you don't believe me just try it yourself

- Tips by unknown ARK player

Once tamed, his food bar runs out sooooo quickly so be sure to put a lot of meat in his inventory :)

Most people think an icthy or a meg would be a good ocean tame but this is way better it’s got just as good stats if not better then a meg and is as fast as an icthy so I would definitely say this or the basilosaurus is the best at exploring the ocean

All you need to kill it is a primitive bow and lots of arrows if he gets close turn and run for a little bit and then start shooting him again . Make sure he isn’t close to water, cuz they are fast as fudge in water
