Sarcos: all you need to know
Sarcos are strong early-mid game mounts that work as great tanks and defenders. They are best used in beaches and swamps, due too their fast speed in water, but slow speed on land. To tame a Sarco it’s best to used traqs since they have high melee. Get one trapped (which is very easy), build a trap, or simply walk backwards or hover on a flying mount. The dangers of taming a Sarco is, of course, it’s powerful jaws and tendency to leap out of nowhere. You have to watch out for the other creatures as well. Especially the jumpy saber Sarco. Once nocked feed it RAW FISH meat as it take almost 5x less to tame then reg meat. Once you have this guy craft a saddle and ride this terrifying beast! On another note, to kill a Sarco, simply shoot it or bombard it. They are really bad when attacked by multiple strong targets so use that to ur advantage. Hope this was helpful! 100 ^ for more!

I just knocked one out. I was very afraid of these monsters before but its actually a quite easy tame! I recommend this snappy thing for beginners underwater mounts. Good luck taming it. [Up so the noobs see ;D]
I was lvl 3 when i tamed him i used bat and i was running around and punching him in stomach. Befire that i killed some dodos and feed him. Make my comment go up so new ark players can see it plz
How to tame a sarco:
1. Craft bow and tranq arrows (if you’re a starter and you use wooden bat, you’ll just end up getting eaten)(Narcotics+stone arrow)
2. Find a sarco (not too high level or you might die) in a swamp or something. (I spawned in the Arctic when I didn’t mean to, so that’s where I got mine)
3. Get on a high rock or get it stuck and shoot it, shoot it, shoot it
4. Watch it’s corpse fall
5. Put meat/kibble in inventory (I suggest raw prime meat)
6. Wait and kill some more things
7. Name him/her sarco I (the first)
8. Don’t make him/her kill dimorphodons (Sarco I almost died)
9. Make a saddle for your sarco (a saddle for your sarco)
10. Swim and play everyday
Up if helpful. Listen to the tips. They may just save your life.
I have 3, Ripjaw, Shredder, and Swampbeast. How to tame:
Get: Fish meat (raw meat works but fish meat is best)
Any kind of ranged tranquilizer weapon plus ammo.
Some narcotics (they don’t usually need them though.)
Stand on a big rock and shoot them with tranqs.
When it’s knocked out, feed it the fish meat.
Protect him from other dinos.
Enjoy your sarco!
Please click the arrow pointing to the sky so noobs like me can see.
It’s easy to tame gust knock it out wile standing on a rock in a river then shoot tranqu arrows at it until it’s been knocked out then feed it meet and narcotic there amazing mounts I always use them for killing carbonemuses and other sarcos. Please like this comment guys ✌️✌️✌️👌👌👌🤘🤘🤘
So I saw a female sarco and I punched her until her health was 200/400 anyways I’m trying to tame her but it’s a VERY VERY VERY long process. Like for me to tame more sarcos!
Get a bow with trans arrows (1-5) for low level, go on a rock if you are low level and shoot it with tranqs. However wait for it to finish attacking animals and other Dino’s or it may be killed by them when unconscious.
All it takes is a distraction and some tranc arrows from a crossbow. Compies make the best distraction bc there hit box is super small then boom you now have a murderous amphibious assault lizard
How to tame a sarco with ease!
Sarcos are very slow on land, so you want to make sure that you it far from water.
You need to use tranq arrows (or any tranq projectile) and a bow (or crossbow, it doesn’t matter to much).
For levels 5-10 I recommend around 5-10 arrows, 11-20, 15-20 arrows. Basically whatever level it is have the same amount of tranq arrows.
Because of their slowness you can very easily sleep one by just running from it and turning to shoot it a few times, I recommend around 120% speed. Make sure you don’t have a ton of items in your bag that will slow you down.
If you’re in a dangerous place you can simply give it the food you have to tame and hide away since nothing will attack it. :)
