How do I kill a sarco? sarco battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Definitely tame one they are so fast in the water they outrun A megaledon like nobody’s business
He killed my level 13 dodo now 2 level 23 brontos killed him
Don't fight Sarco in the water. They swim very fast. On land they are slow, so I recommend it to run and shot them with a bow.
The ULTIMATE Dino team: island, mobile compatible too
Tanks: 3-5 sarcos, a therizno, and 2 brontos
Scouts: high level raptors, and mabey some sabbers
Attackers: 1giga, 2 spinos, and a Rex (if no giga spino is great sub)
Pursuits: (not on mobile) a small team of pegos with some itchy seagulls both are to drain supplies
Ariel team: idrk about aerials so I’m thinking a quiztle and some pteranodons and tappys canons attached and riders with bows
When attacking a op tribe with these dinos here is a good strategy:
Send the scouts to survey the camp, and report back. Send the aerials first, they will be kinda of wave 1/2 and will distract the op players and keep eyes mostly off the ground. Then send in the pursuits. They will rob most of the players out of their stuff and distract them. Now, start moving in the tanks and the attackers. Have the brontos break through any wall that keeps the others from getting in and then start demolishing the base. Have the raptors and sabers stay at the edge of the base to catch escapers. With this strat you will totally ruin someone’s day but become sooo op if u
win 🏆
Killing these is easy:
You will need a bow and arrows
Get them on land and walk backwards, they are slow on land but keep distance as they can lunge forward
This creature can occasionally dismount you off your tame. To combat this, stay away as much as possible. Do not engage in combat in water as the sarco is an excellent swimmer and can easily kill you and your tame in the water.
If you see one DO NOT go in the water they are super fast swimmers
This giant puppy killed all my dodos, I had 50 of em. He killed my army. Then also killed my Parasaurs, 10 of them. THEN MY TICKLE CHICKEN TOO
If you are In the swamp or shallow ocean and see this I recommend useing a bow and flint arrows to kill sarcos and these can rarely spawn In shallow waters
These alligator like animals span near my base I-knocked one out by shooting it white a crossbow on a raptor and I suggest taming it away from water so it can not swim away.
When i first enconter this monstrosity i almost pissed my pants i ran to my base and she oh she dont stop he come to my starter base and almost killed me so i use my spear and killed him #AlmostPissedMyPants#Sarco#Ark#AlmostDie
I was in a swamp, ignoring the big danger sign, saying to myself, “ don’t worry” WORRY PEOPLE I WAS EATEN BY TWO SARCOS ANDA TITANOBOA!!!!!
If you encounter one of these
For the low level people find a Carbonemy (the massive spiky) turtle and run towards it the sarco will probably attack it the carbonemy it almost always wins. Then from a distance watch the fight and once it’s dead harvest it.
For the higher level people tranq it it will make a amazing tame it would take 35 pieces of Raw Prime Meat with a total taming time of 1hour 27-29 minutes it would take 18 tranquilizer arrows, or 67 hits with a sling shot to knock a Sarco unconscious.
Thank you i hope this helped!
Be careful with these things, I just tamed a megaladon and I'm coming back and randomly a sarco go s on my raft and kills me my friend and my megaladon
I killed one with my fist all you need to do is get to its hind legs or tail and stay there since it’s so long it won’t reach you also a good way to knock one out when use it a club that’s how I killed and tamed my first Sarco
The sarco has a variety of moves that can make it dangerous so I recommend learning it’s moves before you fight it. While ridden you can turn the camera and then press attack to make the sarco spin around and attack making up for its lousy turn radius. Like modern day crocodiles it can also do the death roll. The sarco grabs a small creature in its jaws and spins itself around doing lots of damage. If the death roll misses its target the sarco will instead lunge forward.
Meglodons,raptors, and silos don’t go aggro while your on it
To fight this fat giant amphibian lizard
Dance with him while punching his belly I’m sure you can tame it without anything but fist and meat with narcoberry
If you run in one of these jerks, try leading it to a carbonemy (giant spikey tortoise) those will kill it.
Sarcos can be easily outrunned by most things in ark, including players without boosted speed. Just don't go into the water....
