What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Careful when attempting to tame these. They may not be particularly good at anything when compared to other specialized dinos, but they do have two main things you should worry about. First is that they have to longest reach out of most any carnivores. They can reach you if you are on a rock, even if they can't climb up. They also have a stronger bit than a carno, but not as strong as an allo. The best strategy for solo taming is to be on a cliff, although they may run away. Another trick is that their turn radius is awful. So using a bow/crossbow/rifle you can just get right next to their body and keep turning with them in relative safety.
A lesser known use of the Sarco I think is that it makes taming a lot of easier just find the thing you want to tame lead it to the water with your Sarco and shoot it with tranqs but make sure you don’t knock it out in the water most animals can’t reach you in the water as the Sarco is fast so it’s danger free tame for you and your Sarco no need for traps or anything I have tamed rexes, spinos, and many other things this way
Craft a club and bonk it ok the head
They are faster dan u o no they can outrun u
If there's one on land next to water, drive by on a boat and pick it up. Make sure you can out run it and make it chase you into a taming pen
These are ok water mounts if you have nothing else not so great land mounts! Lost a 232 sarco on neutral to lvl 5 piranha!! Taken to deep sea was again ok but turning ark is tearable making it easy for any enemy to get behind.. had to jump off loads to kill enemy because of this..
Ok mount to help tame real water mount because you can lead shark into land then pop sarco on bank while you knock out shark... used this mount to tame ples and moss again worked but any mount that does not wonder off (Beaver) can be used for these... still it's worth having a go and there stupid fast in water for get round and it's a gator you can ride
If your on the island watch out cuz there are freaking sarco that jump at if you see one kill or tame
they are a pain in the butt and really op I saw one kill ten raptor lolololol
It easy I already tame 3 of them here a tip to tame it
1.get a Trang arrow and bow
2.shoot it at high ground
3.need at least 2 stack of rotten meat
4.enjoy
These guys are great for taking into the swamp and rivers, they are fast and powerful and have a med size AoE so they are good for leech hunting. They have decent stam so they are good for fishing and hunting in the water, always good to chase things into the water so you can easily catch up and eat them.

Run as fast as you can do not attack or die
An easy way to tame one of these is get lots of fish meat or raw meat or both , craft a club / one or two or more depending on the health , try to get behind it at its tail and keep hitting the tail , put the fish meat or raw meat or both in its inventory , wait a while and it will be yours ( reminder I did this on mobile I do not know if it works on any other consuls )
Can get killed by a dodo as long as #1 it’s wild and #2 it has no rider. It just can’t bite it, maybe can bite the dodo once but no more than that. Lystros, compies, and other small creatures also included.
Sarcos use an incredible amount of food while doing pretty much anything. Will eat an entire stack of meat in just one good fight. Really bad mount because of food waste, they do better unmounted. But if they are unmounted they get stuck on everything? What you mean underrated?
Get it stuck and slingshot it
Very fast in the water, not so fast on land. It can even swim through the swamp, which makes it a deadly mount or opponent. The main reason i tamed one of these is that it is the only swimming mount that you can use a spyglass on. It also is pretty strong and has decent melee damage.
