ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
So I saw a female sarco and I punched her until her health was 200/400 anyways I’m trying to tame her but it’s a VERY VERY VERY long process. Like for me to tame more sarcos!
Dealing with Sarcos to a brand new player can seem like a daunting task, but they have a noticable weakness that can make them easy to knock out for taming. If you can get to it's side, closer to the tail it can't hit you. You can use this fact and a wooden club to take them down and feed them fish. This is also a solid method for killing them outright.
I have 3, Ripjaw, Shredder, and Swampbeast. How to tame:
Get: Fish meat (raw meat works but fish meat is best)
Any kind of ranged tranquilizer weapon plus ammo.
Some narcotics (they don’t usually need them though.)
Stand on a big rock and shoot them with tranqs.
When it’s knocked out, feed it the fish meat.
Protect him from other dinos.
Enjoy your sarco!
Please click the arrow pointing to the sky so noobs like me can see.
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
Best way get a second player have him run through the swamp and find one get it to chase him and lead it back to you and just pelt it with tranq arrows and trust me if you have a high level Sarco and live near the beach it is a must
Just stay in the middle of it and club it, it was my first tame on ark use raw fish meat it likes it better then raw meat
How to tame Sarco before level 15: (at least)
1. Find Sarco
2. Lure Sarco towards you
3. Sprint towards back leg
4. Whoop with a bat in the back thigh and spin with it
5. Sarco is tamed
Up if helpful
Back away slowly while shooting tranqs at it then once their Torpor is high Put kibble or taming food in the inventory.
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
Just takes a 140 and I can’t do any damage with it in ascended. I might get lucky and a little bit of damage here and there but the attack on it is messed up. It is still super fast in the water though
Big croc is mean
I play ark mobile, and let me just say that one sarco for me wasn’t enough sooooo naturally I went and tamed 5 of em and OMG I felt like king of the water(seas, oceans, lakes etc)
I recommend that if you want to tame one you should get tranq arrows or a club to knock out, you can use anything else that knocks out dinos. They arent very hard to tame at all.
I have lost my gallimimus because of a sarco. I trusted dododex for the narcotics count. The sarco woke up an killed me and my Genral G. One ^ for General G
Four reasons they are useful
1: Fast in water
2: Can do barrel roll
3: Can breed than kill for skin for one of the bosses
4: Good attack
Two ways they aren’t useful
1: slow on land
2: Attacks are SOOO SSLLOOOWW…
Hope this helps pros and nerbs (funny way of saying noob) alike

In the Wirithing Swamp poem:
Leeches are nuisances.
Meganeuras a rude.
IF YOU SEE SARCOS, YOU ARE DOOMED.
I tamed one of these bois in a trap when it was level 80. I used it to get oil at sea because my base was on the beach. If you decide to do the same as me I will warn you one thing, stay clear of the jellyfish. They killed my sarco at level 138 it was defenseless because it got put to sleep. But it is good for quickly getting lots of oil early in the game, just make sure it’s safe.
