How do I kill a sarco? sarco battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I killing him with triceratops
Easy tame. One time I joined a new server and there was an abandoned thatch base shaped like this |___
It had door frames all around but anyways I saw a sarco and punched it. Then I lead it to the thatch thing and when it was following me I ran through the doorframe. Then I started nailing him in the forehead with my fists (I was lvl 3 or 4). I knocked him out and just starved him and shoved some raw meat up his butt and he loved me. Only thing that was a bit concerning was the torpor if you just started. But anyways I hope this was helpful.
Demons. F****g
demons sent from hell
Easy to kill on land however I was level 1 when I met my first sarco I just ran to find a beaver and got the last hit in
P.S. make sure the beaver is a high enough level or has friends nearby
Tip for mobile players: these guys spawn all over the west zone 2 area and are a pain to deal with early game. They’re very slow on land however, so you can kill them by just keeping your distance and shooting them with a bow until they die. They give a lot of xp compared to other creatures in the area so if you need xp in west zone 2 and have the guts for it, just kill a sarco or 2
Just swim it might just swim around you instead of attacking you so that you can kill it safely
Lure it near some neutral dinos such as trikes or carbonemys. Then hack away at their tail with your best weapon while the sarco is busy fighting the other dinos. Try to predict a final hit to get the kill and some experience. Otherwise, use whatever projectile weapon you have.
I have encountered a few of these beasties and have found that with just a bow and a good few arrows you can take these suckers down! Just absolutely do NOT try to fight them in water because they are SWIMMERS but quite slow on land! Good luck!!!
Not to hard to kill. Just stand on a rock out of reach and shoot with a bow until it dies
I feel like the queen of my ARK world i have almost max tames I kill theri alone and killed the alpha Raptor might have killed those 2 spinos I have a sarvo 4 raptors 3 itchys 1 bronto 2 diplo 10 parasaur(bc my brother said I could play his ARK Xbox if I did somthing that included having 10 parasaur) 1 carbonemeys 3 trikes and I think thats it I feel so much like da queen nothing can beat me.
I live in the south and these thing usually come on my island, the first time it happened i freaked out but now i just get my crossbow and auto turret monkey and kill them.
Aye, these scaly lads try to mess with me trusty raft and me tamed sarco and old Polly XII. I keep a havin' to repair me stone foundations! Arr bloody scaly lads!
while on my raft with my raptor, these prehistoric swamp puppies almost killed her twice luckily we've killed them each time they attacked. how do I avoid them, how do I stop them from getting on my raft (this is how they attacked us) and how do I protect against them if I'm on land
Run…
It ate my para one hit and my 6 moschops. When encountering, use bola and run from water.
I finally killed a sarco but then I remembered how many of my precious dinos have died to them so I stabbed it with a spear many times then tea bagged him
I had my moss chop wandering around but every couple days a sarco spawns at the beach
I killed 3 in lvl 25, The game says that the skin is a trophy for true hunters but it is easy with melee and speed upgrades.It can swim about 90m in 5 seconds.
As a beginner the sarco is almost unbeatable. However, they are slow on land.
Help me a sarco in my single player world I am stuck between a megladon or a srco and I got a heart attack because it came to me then a dodo came by and save my life
People are praising the sarco. But you overlook the fact that a lvl 110 sarco can be easily killed by a few lvl 300 dodos and I am not kidding. I tried it out and it worked. Need like about 6 though. So maybe taming a sarco is also good to defend your base, even though their attack frequency is slow and is only op when their attack hits its prey.
