What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Pretty much good for prime meat. I mean, you get prime meat by killing it. And Sarco skin.
Thay are a good tame for mid game
My dodo is dead so now I hunt saris down and kill them when ever there is one nearby. R.I.P. feathers.🪶
How do i tame it and what level
If you find a good sarco to tame in the swamp, you can build a cage on a raft and lure it in. After you've cought it just drive the raft out of the area and go tranq it somewhere safe.
It takes a while for the torpor to drop so, I'd say tranq it and then go get some prime fish meat from some sabertooth salmon.
The amount would will depend on your server settings. After you got the meat the sarcos hunger should be down by alot so you might end up instant taming it.
Normal fish meat will work too but the taming affectiveness will take a hit.
If your having trouble getting enought prime, you can also put in all the prime you have and then fish meat just to get a few more levels.
For everyone that doesn’t know, upping the oxygen on Dino’s ups their water speed, speed on land doesn’t matter when your in the water so up your oxygen on aquatics, these guys are absolutely unstoppable underwater. The only thing that can really get them if you do it right are Meg’s
If you are taming a sarco make sure that there's no other sarcos around because the will attack you and you will lose your stuf in the swamp or wherever you tame it.
The are really easy to tame due to their slow walk speed you can out run them just watch out when it gets you it does a twist attack temporarily stunning you.There saddles are really easy to make (besides the cement paste😭)
I have a good way of fighting these absolute beasts, you get a weapon and circle around their behind, as their attack hitbox is at the mouth. They will keep turning, and you will turn aswell, so you keep spinning and attacking until the sarco dies. Used this method to defend my base when i was a beginner.
sarco are very good for mid game they are fast and strong easy to tame to tame: shoot them with a tranq arrow and run form them and shoot them again till you knock it out now feed it with meat or fisch meat and now you got yourself a sarco
In early game, you might think this thing is extremely scary. But do not fear it, me and a friend once played ark together, we tamed a carbonemey or whatever they're called and a dodo. It tried to attack us but surprisingly they killed the carno. So you don't have anything to fear as long as you have a few dinos by your side
Alright ik everyone says you need to trap it but you really dont.
Sarcos have ridiculously massive turn radius so you can just juke it, go up to the belly and punch it until its asleep. Feed fish meat and you'll have a sarco.
You can tame this easily by using tranq arrows
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! 💅💅
Simple sarco taming coming up everyone!
For this tame I will recommend 3 methods, and you can pick yours.
Method one, the cheap but risky method.
Equipment
A deadly tame or weapon, (eg carno or ascendant shotgun)
An Equus,
A crossbow with tranq arrows,
Meat or regular kibble,
Narcotics.
(Note; The last three things on the list are included in all the methods, but I won’t tell you it each time.)
Use your deadly weapon or tame to kill all the kapros, titanoboas, etc.
Hop on your Equus and play chasy on LAND while trancing it till it’s down.
Method 2, billboard trap.
Equipment:
4 metal billboards,
1 large bear trap
Easy. Please 3 metal billboards in a |_| shape and a large bear trap in the centre. Lure the sarco in to the trap and place the final billboard.
Method 3 the box trap.
1 stone foundation
4 stone doorways,
2 wood ramps.
Get 1 stone floor down and place doorframes around it then place the ramp, lure the sarco up the ramp into the box.
Uses:
Sarco are fastish on land but ultra fast in water. PIRANHAS WILL BECOME PASSIVE NEARBY A SARCO! The bite attack is deadly.
Thanks for reading!
If you find one that's not from the swamp, make them go into the water, so they can starve from swimming, and then easy tame.
