Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved Companion

Tips & Strategies

These guys are all over the swamp regions of the island, and their swift swim speed means they'll ambush you quite easily. Stay aware of your surroundings.
Take advantage of their poor turn radius and move to the shores so they move more slowly.

If u see one of these go kill it or tame it they are a pain if they are on your island I have had these constantly spawn right where I live but thankfully I set up a nice spike wall along with watch towers be careful around these AND KEEP YOUR DINOS AWAY I learned my lesson already when it took down my first Dino my otter called cuddles.... please click up to pay respects.....
my dodo (lvl 4 at the time, thought he was dead until i whistled my other dinos to follow me) was apparently in the direction of the sarco (lvl 5). he walked right into the sarco and i was convinced he was dead meat. until the sarcoโs corpse just flew into the air. man, that dodo was a trooper
If you want to find one, go spawn in south 2 or go to the southern islets, they are like everywhere, Iโm taming one right now, her name will be dismal ( like the Great Dismal Swamp) and she is brown on top and green on the bottom.
The southern islands is where sarcos spawn most
Heres a few of tips and tricks from Auntie Maroon ;D
They have 2 1/2 Attacks: Regular snap attack (single tap), A death roll (Swipe up) and the 1/2 was if u use the death roll at the shore into the water u launch urself into the water B}
They gather meat fast as a torpedo but they also eat fast like a torpedo (tip: Transfer the meat to ur own inventory before ur gator munches all of it lol @^@)
They are turborocket fast in the water. If u tame a high lvl u shall lvl up health and stamina. (NOT movement speed)
The dmg of a lvl 100 is 100 to 120
Btw its really confusing: i have no idea if its a crocodile or an alligator-
Anywayz i hope these tips helped ya a bit {Good luck Taming one ;D}

How to kill one as a noob.
Omg itโs the easiest predator you can kill. You can either lure it to some wild creatures or tame a small creature (dodo, lystrosaurus, otter etc.) and yes, just one. Order your little friend to attack it. The sarco will turn to it and wonโt be able to hit your little friend at all since they will hide under and attack it from there. Just help it by stabbing it on the tail until it dies. If it manages to attack your little friend however, I recommend getting a high-end leveled one to be able to tank its hits. This method I found really useful to farm exp as a noob.
Tip : DO NOT bring these guys to waters with Cnidarias (jellyfish).
they will not survive because of their low HP pool (you can level up their health but it wont help much)
and always avoid waters with Cnidarias because their detection range is just broken.
by the way, this is how i lost my Sarco, Swampy Bob.
R.I.P
i also started a new save, deleted the previous one (i felt helpless) and tried to not repeat the same mistakes. (im still gonna tame a sarco in my new save)
