How do I kill a sarco? sarco battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Just put meat in it’s inv and there you go you have a walking swimming tank
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
Interior crocodile, alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie theater

if your sarco (princess) has ever been killed by a cycindria in water
Big croc is mean
Both wild and tamed sarcos can do the death roll just like real crocodiles. At least they can do it on mobile, I don’t know about the other versions but I assume they can there as well.
In the Wirithing Swamp poem:
Leeches are nuisances.
Meganeuras a rude.
IF YOU SEE SARCOS, YOU ARE DOOMED.
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 .😳
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.
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.
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 😕
Don't try Sarco vs Sarco, because then more Sarcos show up. That's how I lost Shelby 😭
I killed many sarcos with my carbonemys team. 1 ever invaded my home.
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.
WARNING never go through the swamp with a raft early game these guys will catch up to you and saluter you
These mean Crocodiles killed my first tame pet! I alredy got revenge now. I had killed 4 of these.
Just found out that they can climb on small rocks
One has been terrorizing my beach forever now! I keep shooting it with tranquilizer arrows but it won’t pass out! I just want this stupid thing to go awayyyyyyyyyy... oh yeah and it’s killing all the animals so I’m going hungry! Send help
The sarco is very easy to escape, considering it's slow movement speed on land, but don't get to comfortable. And don't go into water with one around, they are VERY fast In water. I would recommend taming a high level one, they are , like I said fast in water, and overpowered for how easy they are to tame. Highly recommend.
