How do I kill a sarco? sarco battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
mkay is it just me or has a mother ducker came to a tiny island aka MY BASE and it’s miles away from the swamps like how the quack did it get there like what the hell? Did god just like hmmmm that looks like a good base to attack or what bc no star o would spawn miles away from the SWAMP
I tammer Mr.crocy when he's fighting group of flies. I just tranqed him around 4 shots. fazzak.. He fainted.. It took me 2 sleep cycles to tame him completely..he's an osm swimmer 🏊 and his jumps were damn cool man 😎
Once on Ragnorok I had full tek armor and went to the swamp to catch a sarco and got instantly killed by one.
I was near the sea with my level 7 dilo then a sarco level 4 just came out of nowhere from the water and killed me I still don't know what happened to my dilo because it was not in attack mode (the lesson is if you find a body of water just incase keep some distance from it)
My teammate was knocked out in the middle of a snake and sarco infested cave and all of a sudden three phomias come out of now were at me and behind them is the biggest sarco I’ve ever seen I’m had a normal bow and actually won! And then the an titanaboa army came out of now were we fought to the last man and giant frog rip
Should I tame a sarco or a stegosaurus first????
These dudes are super fast in water! They can see you from a mile! Be super careful with killing one of these. Normally I would use arrows and a primitive bow to kill it. Also make sure you keep your distance! These guys can pounce on you from a far and bite you with their powerful jaws. This information was brought to you from a beginner.
I entered a dangerous area and looked around, ready to run. As I turn around to go back the way I came, I see a cloud of dust coming towards me. A Sarco, barely a few feet away comes charging at me and my parasaur. I turn and run until I’m safe. Then I realize my parasaur isn’t with me. I panic and run back, where I find the Sarco destroying my parasaur, who was in passive without me knowing. So I killed him with my axe and saved my favorite parasaur.
be careful when near any kind of water bodies because if you're careless enough a sarco might just pop up from water and kill you or your pet ora an animal nearby
also if you encounter a sarco coming at you don't run away it will waste your energy because a sarco can see you from a long distance but what you should do is grab an axe or a pikaxe face the sarco and hit it when it gets closer also if you have a small gap between trees go inside there and the sarco will be stuck you can kill it or run away
I am on mobile i was doing the ichthy pursuit but had no idea what the ichthy looked like thought maybe its that croc thing swam to it it turned arouned and chased me to shore where i speared it to half health died then came back to see a trike beating its ass got my first tranq arrow and some other nice loot thanks to that trike

Will I’ve killed 3 and got killed by them 5 timesavers lol
These guys are all over the swamp regions of the island, and their swift swim speed means they'll ambush you quite easily. Stay aware of your surroundings.
Take advantage of their poor turn radius and move to the shores so they move more slowly.
Ok ok we've all been there one time i was taming 2 pteranadons and out of nowhere a sarco showed up and straight up swallowed the 2 sleeping pteranadons
Once I found an explorer note and I saw a sarco and a titanoboa guarding it so i gave up on the note, now I realize how weak this things are and I regret giving up the note
They grab you and drag you around very scare
The fight (a short story of survival and courage ).I was walking down a beach the sand between my toes the tropical air flowing through my hair until I found a dilo.I looked at it it looked right back……….. but this one did not attack it kept looking at me but it surprised me with beautiful frills and spat in my eyes. with my vision green and something chasing me I ran away when I saw a sarco.I stabbed the dilo with my spear…… killing it.I ran from the sarco but when my vision cleared I saw a raptor fighting a Iguandon and I kept running but I got cornered I stabbed the sarco with my spear over and over again eventually the sarco hit the ground……….dead.I stood on top of the sarco as the sunset fell behind the waves……..the end
