The best way to trap any Dino in the game is to build a trap. You will then want to lure it in. If you put a ladder on the back and a cat walk on top you will be able to shoot down on to it. Once that is done climb down into your put on kib and narcos build a chair and sit.once you have done tamed do not destroy your creation later in the game you will want more either for yourself or to trade/sell.

(Point Of View) POV:you encounter a Sarco and it is after you. step 1: approach the back of it while sprinting. Step 2. Keep following its tail and punching it’s tail while sprinting so it doesn’t bite u, it might if you run outta stamina though. Step 3. Keep punching tail until it gets low and crawls away, don’t let it crawl away 😠. Step 4. Chase after it and keep attacking it until it falls unconscious ON LAND NOT IN WATER IF Unconscious in water it’ll die. Step 5. Once unconscious you must quickly gather ALOT of narcotic berries maybe like 20-30 and than kill many dodos/Oviraptor/Dilophosaurus/parasaur/Phiomia/Moschops/Compsthagnathus/Bugs/Fish/megalodon if u want/small creatures that you can kill easily (etc…). Step 6. You must wait for the taming process of Sarco consuming food. Step 7. Keep waiting… Step 8. Almost there! Step 9. Ok REALLY SOON i PROMISE :). Step 10. Ok now change to lowest lowest attack target, and for the name, name him Big Cheese if it’s a male. If it’s a female name her Cheese and if you make them have a baby than name the baby Smol’ Cheese/Small Cheese 🧀. Step 11. Wallah you now have Sarco pet to defend you and worship you! Up so everyone who doesn’t know this can see (noobs and some average players!) bye have a good night/day/afternoon/morning! Cya hope this helped you!

Tip for mobile players: these guys spawn all over the west zone 2 area and are a pain to deal with early game. They’re very slow on land however, so you can kill them by just keeping your distance and shooting them with a bow until they die. They give a lot of xp compared to other creatures in the area so if you need xp in west zone 2 and have the guts for it, just kill a sarco or 2

When leveling up their stats, it's best to boost their stamina to a good amount (that way they'll be able to swim faster than other swamp creatures for a longer period) I also boost their movement speed too, and no its actually not a waste of points, it does add up by a good number. After it's at 200+ speed you'll be able to zoom right through the swamp!
