If you get on its side right up in front of it's back leg and go in circles with it stabbing it in the stomach you can easily kill these fellas with even just primitive gear with minimal damage.

We can thank my Ark buddy for that tip.

I was out getting some things and. Out of the blue a sarco came at me and bite me it missed and I was running. To one of my tames he flowed my to it and I was about to fly away he kill it. They drive me nuts.

Just don't go hunting in the swamp alone (Hopefully this is common sense). If you bring a decent raptor it'll destroy the sarco and even a carbonemys can do it on land. It isn't that hard to engage unless you're in the water. If you do fight it, just be aware of you're surroundings. I got attacked by two titanoboas once while fighting it. Didn't end well. However, my raptor killed all three of them by the time I got back. That's why I say raptors are great for mid level players going on a hunting trip.

don’t approach if you have a lot of weight on you. they’re slow enough to out-run with base stats though so if you accidentally get ambushed by one, you can run off. if you’ve run out of most of your stamina, you can attempt to jump onto a rock. eventually the sarco will abandon the rock and head back to where you found it.

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

So i was with my two parasaurs then suddenly i saw another sarco spawned on my island so i built like a cage for me to tame it but when i left my parasaurs trying to find the sarco he was literally killed by my parasaurs right in front of me and i literally went like “what the-“ like two parasaurs LOW level but i dunno that sarco was obliterated tho my two parasaurs survived somehow...

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)

I spawned on island spawn point one and A FRIKING SARCO CAME OUT OF NOWHERE O F&%K O F&%K GO AWAY YOU BI&$H

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

For me sarco is easy to kill just hit the tail a many times

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

For some reason i had a few come after me once i shot them with an arrow while standing on top of a tall rock, then all of a sudden they flew at me! Like literally flew like the arrow i gave him! Flew past my head after hitting me with his tail, then he continued to fly past me! I was like this dude just did a hit and run! Then he reversed back to me as well as his buddy and they both Peter Panned their asses right on the spot i was standing! Bam dead! Glitched creatures for sure! Somebody nuke these guys!!!

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

Me on crystal isles:

“You tamed a carbenomys!”

“Yay!”

*5 minutes later*

“Your Mary Shelly (carbenomys) was killed by a sarco!”

“AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😡😤😖😠👿😾🗯🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬😡😤🤬😠😠🤬😖😡🤬😡🤬😡😖😡😠😡😖😤😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬”

I guess I just can’t have nice things nowadays.

Use wooden spike walls and keep one saved in your quick slots. Just one is needed to take out a sarco. Saved me a lot of trouble. Easy kill really. But risky still!

If you see a number noob with a dodo run the dodo can’t get hit from sarcos

I guarantee you will find at least one if you dismount to remove leeches off your dino or raid a beaver dam.
