How do I kill a sarco? sarco battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you wanna kill them stay by the tail that can't hot you then trust I know from experience
Meglodons,raptors, and silos don’t go aggro while your on it
If you want to kill this Creature better bring dodos beacause my dodo killed one without losing any health
If you run in one of these jerks, try leading it to a carbonemy (giant spikey tortoise) those will kill it.
Once I was assaulted by a lvl 36 spino but my lvl8 raptor and lvl 9 sarco just wrecked it
Btw I'm Tiger and I have left tips on the raptor
Sarcos are so dumb. Here is why-
I needed dodo kibble so I tamed a dodo. After getting the egg, i decided to kill it by targeting a sarco. Guess what, my dodo killed the sarco. Here are the levels- My dodo- Lvl 14 The Sarco- Lvl 20
It will make you fly 25ft in the air it really sucks
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!!!!!
Very good and a quite powerful creature.Its death roll is terrific to small or medium sized water creatures or land,I think?...Anyway..In my single player,I had a SARCO named Killadi...He's only lvl 12...But his power is quite damaging...When I saw a manta gang when I was riding him,They came to attack me..When a manta came close,I accidentally swiped down in the screen,And What I see is terrific...He spinned manta in his jaws and killed it...I surely recommend to tame these beasts....Now,my Killadi is lvl 94...😀😀
How to kill early game:
1.tame a dilo
2.level up to 45 or higher
3. Whistle attack
P.S, lvl 45 dilo can kill a level 20 sarco
Ok guys, problem… I was feeding my sarcos (Jade, Tar, and Fungus) when I get a ‘YOU HAVE ENTERED A DANGEROUS AREA’ message. I live in a area with Literally NO danger creatures other than sarcos. So ya. I go onto capture mode and I see a sarco. Well I guess I’m getting a new pet
-Sarco master
Sarcos can be easily outrunned by most things in ark, including players without boosted speed. Just don't go into the water....
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 live on a raft, so these things worries me. First encounter with it on my raft was when me and my friend was sailing along the SW area in Crystal Isles looking for Silica, 2 of our Parasaurs on the raft got absolutely obliterated. At that point I realize why people enclose their raft, and make sure it's stone at least until the second floor of your raft, they can lunge, not as big of a lunge like kapros, but they can.
So…one day I has y’know gettin water and stuff then this sarco comes outta no where and hits me and then perfect reaction times my dodo comes over and attacks it and I had my 2 paras on passive so they didn’t attack and I ran to my house and see a very injured para (chad jr) and a massive tail then I see at the bottom the most tragic thing “dodo lvl 25 died to a sarco” then the sarco exploded and died (not really just launched in the air) and my lil lvl 2 dodo avenged her mother and she killed the sarco I picked up my deceased dodo and throw her in the ocean outside my base then I gather what’s left of the sarco and we’ll I just feed my para WHOS ON 27 HP BY THE WAY and sadly check the other dodo and para and feed them I put my paras beside a mountain outside my base and my dodo behind a big rock and there you have it my tragic story of how my dodo died to this BEAST OF A CREATURE and to be honest I’m scared of these things ark just makes them so realistic! R.I.P to dodo
If you spawn at South if you head to the right (depending on where you spawn) You can find these guys among a few friendly Spinos
On land they are relatively easy to defeat if you have a Bow. When you can use Pikes, Swords, and other stuff, you can defeat a Sarco using melee.
In the water, they will circle around you and make things difficult. Confront on land ONLY (if possible).
Standing on rocks usually does not help, as a Sarco can just lung at you and knock you off you little perch. Shoot the creature with Arrows and keep backing up. You may need to turn around and sprint a bit to stay ahead of it. You CAN outrun a Sarco on land.
If you kill one, make sure you harvest all the useful hide, meat, and Sarco Skin (a trophy).
At level 21 I had over 5 Sarco Skins, many from Sarcos with 10+ levels.
You cannot outswim a Sarco. Period.
HOWEVER, you don't need to outswim a Sarco.
They swim too fast and are almost never able to position themselves correctly for a bite. So when swimming, just swim near the belly of the Sarco to escape with your life.
This thing killed me 5 times in a row and after
The day 5 i got my revenge 😡😡
Hit the sarco from its side and when it rotates towards you rotate with it as you hit it and repeat the process until it’s knocked out. I was playing on the island and was looking at names on the sarco then reopened the app and wanted to share my story
