Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Just bring a lot of narco berries and a lot of raw meat and fight it with a wooden club while running around it. Now I have Sam on mobile.

These things are BEASTS. I tamed a lvl 145, which is now 235 and has 7000 health and 500% melee damage. Take these things to the ocean they can outswim pretty much anything down there. Watch out for jellyfish and enraged mantas. Those mfs are fast.

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

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

If your on aberration and you can’t tame spino or crab yet then use this bad boy to farm pearls from trilobites or simply for transportation through rivers, hope this helps.

Your pvp friend someone

This could actually be your first tame, just make sure it's alone then punch it from the back and it will try to turn around, just keep moving and try to be behind it and keep punching, it can't hit you, i was just messing around in a new server and i saw one of those…

When riding on a boat keep an eye out for these guys because unlike most other water dwelling predators, sarcos can still see you and attack you on the raft. If it gets to you it will be hard to shake off the raft, it'll make the raft move buggily, and if you don't…

When i was level 35, i tamed a sarco, which was surprisingly pretty easy, i just used my crossbow with tranq arrows. A few levels later I got a saddle for my sarco, on land, it is pretty slow, but can also deal a lot of dmg, in water its very strong and extremely fast and can…

To the person asking about the sarco saddle it’s unlocked at level 35 and you need 230 hide 75 fiber and 20 cementing paste. If u don’t have access to cementing paste you can craft it with stone and chitin or keratin at mortar and pestle. Hope this helped 😁

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…

I tamed one because people said they are fast and easy to tame. When I put a saddle on it I went to the water and went holy crap that’s fast! And every day I rode him back and forth from Herbivore island Until the freakin jelly fish came and he defended me so I could swim…

Pro battle tips:

If you are a pro these beasts are easy to kill if you're a pro you can duel this beast using a pike or spear and arrows. I kill thousands of them. You might take some hits but with dodging the attacks the attacks are lesser.

Beginners battle…

These big bois are very underrated. Decent damage, no oxygen stat, fast underwater, and multiple different attacks

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…

For taming these guys I would suggest getting it onto land as they are very slow and u can outrun them easily. I would also recommend using tranq arrows or tranq darts

It’s one of the easiest tames fr just lure it out of the swamp and don’t let titanaboas get it and he will live. P.S.

Getting it back to base can be a struggle especially if it is on th beach as it is a wide animal and don’t fit through rocks well

(This is for mobile since it’s what I play on)

TAMING:

Great thing about Sarcos is their wide turning range, so easiest and cheapest way to tame one is running and shooting back with tranq arrows. On mobile, highly suggest getting an asc bow and arrow from the dilo hunt…
