Encountering Tips

How do I kill a sarco? sarco battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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 sarco’s corpse just flew into the air. man, that dodo was a trooper
If you wanna kill them stay by the tail that can't hot you then trust I know from experience
These things are Seadogs when they see you they will bite your butt off people say they’re fine fine but the good thing about them they can grab people when they’re running away hope this helped you/ vote☝🏼 If this shock do you vote 👇🏽 If
This confused you
Whatever you do DO NOT GO IN WATER. This thing can swim fater than you. Try to lure it to land. It usually moves faster than your walking speed but slower than your running speed. But if you place it right a level 1 dodo can take it out due to its AI
Interior crocodile, alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie theater
Tamed one of these with my friend and named him tank and when me and my buddy went into the swamp to tame a bary we ended finding tank and a kaprosuchus later named kate and tank and kate were awesome tank took down a bronto by himself with a little help from a pteranadon.
I've only encountered this while a low lvl so if your in my situation R U N it might be hard to do but don't fight it unless you know you can win without respawning
If you want to kill this Creature better bring dodos beacause my dodo killed one without losing any health
To whoever is nervous about their sarco problem that posted on the sixth, raptors can kill these! As long as you have an about lvl 20ish raptor and the sarco is lower level, you’re all good!
PS if you name your raptor Aster Jr after my deceased sarco killer, I would be much obliged (respect for Aster!)
It will make you fly 25ft in the air it really sucks
Big croc is mean
PLEASE HELP ME IM A BIG NOOB So just right now after I was taming my lvl 2 parasaur called patrick I noticed a dumb but horrifying sarco that I was really nervous to encounter and fight was near my base which is a literal thatch hut and ima gonna have to do something except the problem is I don’t want to sacrifice my Patrick do help me fight he only has 200 health and a,so I don’t know if my two Dilos are gonna survive the dilo names are Diana and diago,Thay have somewhere about 100.health except I don’t think that’s enough help plus I don’t think they have enough good melee attack so I’m very worried I do have full cloth and I have some weapons one more problem is I’m only lvl 8 soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo SAVE THE NUBS LIKE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND OF COURSE OTHER NUUUBS
How to escape a Sarco:
1. If you see one, run. If you want to tame it, don’t ask me.
2. If it sees you, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT run into water, or die.
3. Go into a forest or far away from water and if it’s still following then run to a trike, carboneys (turtle dino with spiky shell and is very cute), or whatever else you find.
4. (If you’re a coward.) Get as far away as possible.
5. (If you are this brave.) Get a good distance away and watch the battle.
6. If it’s dead, scoop up all the loot and be on your way. If not, repeat from instruction 3.
7. Put your stuff in a storage box or something because sometimes there’s someone watching you…
Hope you enjoyed the tip. Listen to the tips. That’s how I found out I could tame raptors. :)
You cannot outswim a Sarco. Period.
HOWEVER, you don't need to outswim a Sarco.
They swim too fast and are almost never able to position themselves correctly for a bite. So when swimming, just swim near the belly of the Sarco to escape with your life.
The ULTIMATE Dino team: island, mobile compatible too
Tanks: 3-5 sarcos, a therizno, and 2 brontos
Scouts: high level raptors, and mabey some sabbers
Attackers: 1giga, 2 spinos, and a Rex (if no giga spino is great sub)
Pursuits: (not on mobile) a small team of pegos with some itchy seagulls both are to drain supplies
Ariel team: idrk about aerials so I’m thinking a quiztle and some pteranodons and tappys canons attached and riders with bows
When attacking a op tribe with these dinos here is a good strategy:
Send the scouts to survey the camp, and report back. Send the aerials first, they will be kinda of wave 1/2 and will distract the op players and keep eyes mostly off the ground. Then send in the pursuits. They will rob most of the players out of their stuff and distract them. Now, start moving in the tanks and the attackers. Have the brontos break through any wall that keeps the others from getting in and then start demolishing the base. Have the raptors and sabers stay at the edge of the base to catch escapers. With this strat you will totally ruin someone’s day but become sooo op if u
win 🏆
Fun Fact: Piranhas are afraid of Sarcos! They won’t attempt to come near you most of the time if you have a Sarco by your side.
If you desire to find these big crocs go to the swamp or you can find them near shallow waters or on beaches
So…one day I has y’know gettin water and stuff then this sarco comes outta no where and hits me and then perfect reaction times my dodo comes over and attacks it and I had my 2 paras on passive so they didn’t attack and I ran to my house and see a very injured para (chad jr) and a massive tail then I see at the bottom the most tragic thing “dodo lvl 25 died to a sarco” then the sarco exploded and died (not really just launched in the air) and my lil lvl 2 dodo avenged her mother and she killed the sarco I picked up my deceased dodo and throw her in the ocean outside my base then I gather what’s left of the sarco and we’ll I just feed my para WHOS ON 27 HP BY THE WAY and sadly check the other dodo and para and feed them I put my paras beside a mountain outside my base and my dodo behind a big rock and there you have it my tragic story of how my dodo died to this BEAST OF A CREATURE and to be honest I’m scared of these things ark just makes them so realistic! R.I.P to dodo
If you see a number noob with a dodo run the dodo can’t get hit from sarcos
