Tips & Strategies
How to tame a sarco:
A sarco is a big crocodile that lurks in southern coasts, swamps, and rivers. It wil leap out of nowhere and it drops prime.
Materials:
A hundred arrows or so use crossbow or high percentage bow. Don’t waste darts.
A character and some ark safari tame experience.
How to tame:
1. Find sarco on land.
2. Lead it on land. In water they become Rexes to bobs.
3. Shoot tranqs on its face. Don’t get jumpscared by other Dinos especially kapros and boas.
4. Tame with FISH meat or PRIME.
5. Make an oddly costly saddle for this easily tamed bad boy.
Utility:
Defense: they do great dmg and are easy tames.
Hunting: slow on land, they have dps and insta turn on their side.
Water travel: in water they are FAST fast.
Alpha killer (aquatic): can kite alpha megs and if done with caution I BELIEVE BUT NOT SURE I think a bred and imprinted good level sarco can take on bigger threats, including caves I guess.
Enjoy your sarco!
Sarco is the must useful semi-aquatic dinosaur! They can travel on land and water their fast in water but slow on land at least they can go on land and survive unlike itchys they are pretty weak when wild but if you add enough points to its damage health and stamina it'll be unstoppable here's how to tame this jurrasic Aligator! It has 3 attacks Normal bite attack lunge attack and death roll attack to do the special attacks on mobile swipe up on the left side of your screen for the lunge attack swipe down on the left side of your screen for the death roll to tame these beasts you need tranq arrows since these are not starter tames cook up some fish meat and find a sarco if there's a pretty tall rock go on it if there's no safe rocks around use your tame to run away from the sarco and get far enough so you can still shoot it but it can't get you continue this until it's knocked out then give it cooked fish meat Now you should starve it for a bit till it's hungry enough to eat the food you gave it and this will mean your gonna need Narcos so get those before taming one have a bed near the sleeping sarco so you get sleep and pass time after it's starved give it the food after a bit bam you have a jurrasic Aligator! 💅💅

If this helped,pls leave a like if helped
TLC patch coming March 2018 adding "Deathroll" grab attack on small creatures and a grab attack (possibly thrash) on larger ones, gaining a 180 degree attack and a small lunge to its attack (maybe for deathroll purpose), will no longer aggo pirahnas and in the wild will sit with mouth gaped open awaiting prey.
The sarco is a large, semi-aquatic crocodilian, who can be a rather helpful starter tame, (and possibly end game). The easiest way to tame a sarco, although you may have some of your health depleted, it is a rather effective way. Find yourself an oversized crocodile and get it to come onto land, never fight an Australian crocodile in the water, or it’s all over. Once it has crawled up onto land, get between the base of the tail and it’s hind legs, then, begin to hit it with either your fists (newbie method), a bat (not as newbie), or an electric prod (definitely not newbie method). Once the overfed lizard is knocked out, place the food of your choice (kibble or fish recommended) and wait…and wait…and wait…aaaand wait some more…you get my point. And ta-da, you got yourself a prehistoric Crocodile! Enjoy!
Single player uses:
1. Early game power dino: Sarcos are fairly strong and very easy to tame.
2. Taming mount: Sarcos are aster than they look, can turn on a dime and you can use a weapon while riding them.
3. Aquatic mount: They're even faster and more agile underwater, just beware there is a glitch where they instantly die if they go on land, though it's very rare so unlikely to happen.
Warning! These guys are kind of broken in asa as sometimes they can’t attack out of water and have many other issues. Just hold off on taming these in asa until they are fixed.
Interior crocodile, alligator. I drive a Chevrolet movie theater
It’s easy to tame gust knock it out wile standing on a rock in a river then shoot tranqu arrows at it until it’s been knocked out then feed it meet and narcotic there amazing mounts I always use them for killing carbonemuses and other sarcos. Please like this comment guys ✌️✌️✌️👌👌👌🤘🤘🤘
One of the better mounts for collecting leech blood as leeches will ignore the sarco.
Because of bad turn radius if it has enough health, go to the tail and just keep punching, then you really knock it out easily. It was my first tame 🤣😂🤣😂
It's death roll attack is so scary when you are on the receiving end, just fighting through the swamp and suddenly half the screen is a mouth 😕
(This is for mobile since it’s what I play on)
TAMING:
Great thing about Sarcos is their wide turning range, so easiest and cheapest way to tame one is running and shooting back with tranq arrows. On mobile, highly suggest getting an asc bow and arrow from the dilo hunt pursuit. WARNING: Sarcos are kinda fast, so prob best to jump and run while doing it. Once knocked out, best to do it at night so you can grab a sleeping bag to sleep and get its food drained, then use a soothing balm to get it quickly! How I easily got a 150 sarco
UTILITY:
It’s definitely great for traveling in water, and with its rather high weight you can steal beaver dams with ease and swim away quickly, or kill them since they have rather good melee and health. It’s great for its piranha scaring ability and turn on the spot attacking, but can get annoying when a creature is too close and you can’t hit it
Hope you enjoyed reading! <3
