They can swim fast enough to keep up with the raft. I build the back of my raft with stone foundations and walls for this reason.

So many people think these are beginner tames, yes they’re incredibly easy to knock out and tame, but if you find a high level one (mines lvl 220) and focus on levelling up speed and health you can be unstoppable… almost

There's a 50 percent chance these will spawn AS SOON AS YOU SPAWN IN THE SOUTH ZONE 2

I forgot to add something on my are other tip so this is gonna be long because I’m just gonna redo ) get a lot of fish meat or Raw meat ( btw are used fish meat and raw meat to tame mine ) get one or two or more depending on the heath clubs so you won’t get hurt while trying to tame it , lure it on land , he’s gonna bite you once or more but try to go behind by the butt and tail , knock him out , once he is knocked out put the fish meat or raw meat or both in his inventory i’m pretty sure after that you just have to wait and then he’s yours you could look in the name suggestions for names.

These things are so dang fast in the water. I’m pretty sure mine broke the sound barrier.

I really believe Sarcos are one of the most underrated creatures in the game. Yeah, on land it's kind of pathetic, but it's high swim speed coupled with the ability to shoot while mounted make it EXCELLENT for taming aquatic creatures. I prefer using it over ichthyosaurus.

Shoot the target, swim away when it gets too close, rinse and repeat. Or lure targets to the coast and shoot them from the (relative) safety of the beach if you can.

Just be careful if you go exploring the Deep Ocean with them. Combat-wise, a high level Sarco can handle anglers, megalodons and even plesiosaurs (provided you have a good saddle), but you're better off running from everything else. Thankfully they have good stamina and can out-swim most everything that lives in the water.

If u have trouble taming it here are some tips:

U dont even need tanrq arrows all u need is 2 slingshots and a bunch of rocks find one and knock it out i recommend using bio toxins wich u can get from cnidarias and just feed it raw meat and thats it

You wanna tame one of these things? Ok 👍 👌 so what you'll need is 5 narcotic Arrows just to be safe and it should only need 3 to knock it out it's slow on land but also powerful so make sure you have distance and bring meat.

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

tamed one at lvl 20 ish and is my fav Dino even at lvl 97, super powerful and fast in water, easy tame (all you need is 10 ish tranq arrows and some raw meat) definitely recommend for both beginners and pros, make sure to put quite a lot of points into speed, stamina and damage and a few into health and now u have strong boi,

Very good for low levels. I’m level 30 myself and have 6, about to hatch another. They’re BAD*SS. I 100% recommend. 5 tranq arrows, bring some narcotics, about 30 meat just in case. They’re monsters in the water.

I'd rather u get too the cypress swamp at lvl 40 because if u go earlier then you are dead. These will kill anything and everyone that comz near its nest, but that is its dangerous cause u can't c the nest cause it's under water!

Here r some things that nest underwater

1. Sarco

2. Kairuku

3. Casteroides

4. Kapro

5. Manta

6. Sabertooth salmon

7. Icthy

8. Megalodon

9. Megapirhana

10. Beelzebufo

11. Astrocetus

12. Astrodelphis

13. Parakeet fish school

14. Ammonite

15. Mosa

I’ve tamed one of these guys with a club, all you need to do it run at its back legs, and go in a circle. They don’t really use there 180 turn.

I tamed mine with Just raw fish meat(that’s the fastest meat) and narcoberries a lot of those....and stay by it’s side with a weapon just in case

If you encounter one of these run into a trike and the trike will kill the sarco and then you can look into the sarco inventory to find some really good loot if you are lucky

On mobile these guys attack very slow, but pretty strong, mine hits for around 250 per bite, and the spin and lunge attack do alot more. You can spam the spin attack but watch your stamina.

An easy tame, get tranqs and meat, find one, get up high on a rock shoot it with a couple tranqs, make sure its knocke out, feed it, and bam! There’s your sarco, now i can say “fear the dingdong“ and have everything be afraid!

(for those beginners who dont know how to get the tranq darts in the gun: you select the darts, press and hold, then drag the dart icon to the gun, bam! Now ya got tranq darts!)

Don’t stand on a wild one, you may get flung away, and you can get killed, just a warning idk if it’s a glitch on my phone or something, just be careful

After TLC 2 these things became monstrous. With a leap attack and a death roll the Sarco is now just as if not more dangerous than the Kapro in terms of swamp encounters.

Me and my 2 dilos were chillin, and outta nowhere a Sarco came-only have 16 stone arrows and a master craft bow, and the Sarco can reach us on the rock I jumped on- one spear, I don’t know whether to fight it or..
