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
Just keep a slight distance away and shoot narco arrows into it's head. If you upgrade your movement speed some (idk how much exactly), you could just keep walking backwards to keep the sarco from reaching you since it never runs on land (at least none of them ever did for me).
For me, is one of the best pets. It can be tamed easily and fast, and then he give u absolutely defense on the coasts of the island, and underwater. 4 more things about him that helps a lot in game:
1. His speed in water is very big, so u can go for all island by rivers without fear to be eated(if u need, u can escape with him)
2. Ability "C" Is good to hunting, and deal not bad damage(bit more of normal attack)
3. He can pass in almost all caves, so it good companion there(I'm not very "pro" In game, but in South caves, sarco give u the easiest way to obtain a lots of exp, chitin and meat, without doing a lot of work)
4. The last one special and very useful thing that sarco have, is his possibility to turn in one jump, when u want. So if u are on the land, and being attacked from back, only focus camera in the enemy and click on attack button.
You can use a crossbow from its back even when submerged, so it's a great mount to safely tranq other aquatic creatures.
Due to their high health and decent damage, if you're like me and need bio toxins for arrows/tranq darts to Ko most creatures, these hold well for taming a basilo. You can either A. Kill them off by picking one out and beating it to death OR B. Kite them away REAL far near some megs or another basilo. -Mantyll
Easy mid or early game tame. All u have to do is lead it away from the swamp hit it with a few tranqs, keep it asleep and shove meat down it’s throat. Also not dying to kapros
He was stuck in tree I got my club out I keep on hitting him I feed him he was so bad I put him in the water.crap he was fast!
Sarcos have trouble hitting small creatures (dodos lystros etc) so you can use a small creature to distract it while you (knock it out, kill it etc)
Help one of these spawned on the beach and now I'm stuck hiding on the bluff!! He looks stuck!! I don’t know if I should ignore try to tame or just try to kill. Very scary.
Just takes a 140 and I can’t do any damage with it in ascended. I might get lucky and a little bit of damage here and there but the attack on it is messed up. It is still super fast in the water though
It's an easy tranq tame just keep your distance and stay away from water, they're slow on land
Step 1: if you see a Sacro nearby prepare any weapon that is melee Step 2: run up to it and make sure you stay on land NEVER DO IT IN THE WATER Step 3: allways move circles and stay the side of his torso and keep smacking it Step 4: if you keep going in circles and avoiding the front of its mouth you have more chance to survive AND beat it Step 5: let your pets eat his junk.
