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
Why are these things so stupidly fast??
Just found out that they can climb on small rocks
Give me an Up
if your sarco (princess) has ever been killed by a cycindria in water
Interior crocodile, alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie theater
WARNING never go through the swamp with a raft early game these guys will catch up to you and saluter you
Big croc is mean
He killed my level 13 dodo now 2 level 23 brontos killed him
In the Wirithing Swamp poem:
Leeches are nuisances.
Meganeuras a rude.
IF YOU SEE SARCOS, YOU ARE DOOMED.
I killed many sarcos with my carbonemys team. 1 ever invaded my home.
It's death roll attack is so scary when you are on the receiving end, just fighting through the swamp and suddenly half the screen is a mouth 😕
Warning! These guys are kind of broken in asa as sometimes they can’t attack out of water and have many other issues. Just hold off on taming these in asa until they are fixed.
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.
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)
These mean Crocodiles killed my first tame pet! I alredy got revenge now. I had killed 4 of these.
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 .😳
These guys can spawn near the beaches in south 2 on the island
Yo I’m sure like no one plays on Valguero but if y’all do…. WHERE DO I FIND ONE. THEY ARE LITERALLY ABSENT
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.
