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 your still new to ark I wouldn’t suggest going near these puppies there absolute beasts
Interior crocodile, alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie theater
In the Wirithing Swamp poem:
Leeches are nuisances.
Meganeuras a rude.
IF YOU SEE SARCOS, YOU ARE DOOMED.
Big croc is mean
Killing these is easy:
You will need a bow and arrows
Get them on land and walk backwards, they are slow on land but keep distance as they can lunge forward
I was flying around on my ptero when I crashed into a waterfall my pt flew to the side and I was on a ledge. I was about to jump off when I saw a sarcho below I shot at with pistol when I fell off and thought I was dead, but I managed to kill with sword .😳
In my experience I have found a couple of ways of taking these big boys down easily. The first one is to utilise it's turning circle as it cannot turn fast at all, so hug it's back legs, turn with it and whack it with some sort of melee weapon at the same time, a sword or pike works best for this. The second technique is to just walk backwards and shoot it with something, preferably something damaging, so I wouldn't suggest using a slingshot here. But doing this back step technique will allow you to just be too far away from the Sarco's bite, however, be careful of what can come sneaking up behind you. And by all means do not try and out swim this thing, it will win, every time.
You can easily outrun them if they start chasing you, heck even out walk them. But be careful in water they're super fast swimmers.

Sarco Group: Ohohoho you dare come here...
Player: OH HOLY HECK...
Sarco Group: You will become our lunch.
Player: *Dies from sarcos in water*
Player: I JUST WANTED TO GO TO REDWOODS!
Don't try Sarco vs Sarco, because then more Sarcos show up. That's how I lost Shelby 😭

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. :)
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!)
