I have 3 Dilos and I killed 3 of these things

Definitely tame one they are so fast in the water they outrun A megaledon like nobody’s business

They are really easy to kill early game for some good exp. First off, try to juke it until you can get to its side. Next get just in front of the back leg (or around the tail, but it is harder to hit.) finally, hit it till it drops. I recommend like 6 stone hatchets of it is a high level. I lost my sinomacrops, ship, and dignity to one. Then I killed it using this method. ( it was lvl 150 if you were wondering) HOPE THIS HELPS 😁

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

If you see one DO NOT go in the water they are super fast swimmers

He killed my level 13 dodo now 2 level 23 brontos killed him

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.

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

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!!!!!

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

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

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!

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.

Meglodons,raptors, and silos don’t go aggro while your on it

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.

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

Sarcos can be easily outrunned by most things in ark, including players without boosted speed. Just don't go into the water....
