Encountering Tips

How do I kill a sarco? sarco battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
All you need to do is to kill a psycho is use your metal hatchet and start chopping away. It is so easy I am only a newb and I have already killed at least 20
In the island, sarcos spawn pretty much everywhere in the swamps but it is not uncommon to see them in riverways and sometimes even near the beaches
My dodo bird killed one of these because he could not reach him. That is the power of the dodo.
Tip for taming, if you wanna tame of of these first take a carbonemes and set it to “only attack unconscious” then have it distract the sarco while you club its tail or leg, if it aggros towards you run until it aggros the carbonemes again, repeat until it’s knocked out and feed it raw fish meat, I repeat, raw FISH meat, normal meat don’t work nearly as well when taming a sarco
There was literally one on the island right next to my island but it wasn't in the swamps....I'm thinking to tame it but I need to know which gator it is. (hopefully not a sarco)....
also I tamed a spino at lvl 20 lol
Found one alone in a pond.Wish me luck taming it.
When encountering I recommend having a land flyer I was using pigdy my pteranodon
And was able to knock it
I've only encountered this while a low lvl so if your in my situation R U N it might be hard to do but don't fight it unless you know you can win without respawning
PLEASE HELP ME IM A BIG NOOB So just right now after I was taming my lvl 2 parasaur called patrick I noticed a dumb but horrifying sarco that I was really nervous to encounter and fight was near my base which is a literal thatch hut and ima gonna have to do something except the problem is I don’t want to sacrifice my Patrick do help me fight he only has 200 health and a,so I don’t know if my two Dilos are gonna survive the dilo names are Diana and diago,Thay have somewhere about 100.health except I don’t think that’s enough help plus I don’t think they have enough good melee attack so I’m very worried I do have full cloth and I have some weapons one more problem is I’m only lvl 8 soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo SAVE THE NUBS LIKE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND OF COURSE OTHER NUUUBS
Even if you can't kill them, you can still escape one of any level by running. Even if you have no points in movement speed. Unless you're right beside their face. Then they'll kill you by lunge attack
Once you get a bow and arrows these guys are real easy to kill
If you see one of these, NEVER, i mean NEVER go into water, it will end your life like the Pompeii volcano.
These are a living danger i was once walking on the edge of a swamp and I saw something in the water it looked like a crocodile? But it got out of the water and it said it was a sarco it snapped it’s jaws like two inches away from my face and I died but no need to worry I hadn’t even tamed a dodo yet or built a base so after that death I went out searching for a spinosaur to tame but I fell down a small waterfall and landed in a lake and there was a sarco in there it killed me before I got out of the water and a few lifes
Later I was going to my campfire to build a base and there was a sarco the end
These crocs are tough so avoid any you see and never run in the water when you get chase they are faster in water. ONLY ATTECK IT when its stuck or is attacking a strong herd
Once I was moving and I came across a river and there was four of these and I thought I could go around them (I was only lvl 20) and they chased me and there was also three dilos and three boas me and all my dinos had no chance the I deleted that game rip para, dify, machy, Lyte, and chiken. very sad
If you do run into one of these and you just started you’re done but a couple days and you could win maybe if you’re not playing on hard-core brutal I’ma probably try that soon enough that’s all you need to hear and great for harvesting meat especially fish meat
Pro tip(silly to)
It’s a trampoline when it’s taking also give fish meat for faster taming no sothing balm needed im taming a lvl 29 in my easy mode mobile game (I would set it higher if could save my progress to ) highest lvl I’ve found so far
It ambushed me once and I shot it with a shotgun it died immediately
It seems people keep getting kill notifications from dodos killing sarcos, I don’t know if it’s true or not but if it is
Use a dodo
Is it just me or do I think they should add another croc dini like say purrasaurus or even machimasaurus idk lol just ideas
