How to tame a Sarco (for beginners, Preferbably easy mode)
1 Get a wooden club
2 Find sarco
3 Keep spinning and keep hitting it in the thighs.
You spin around with the sarco and keep hitting it until it gets knocked out
Now you hoave one
Easiest way to tame one before level 20
1 Get a slingshot and over 25 stones
2 Find a Sarco on the beach and get it to chase you
3 Walk backwards and shoot it with the sling shot
4 Name it Socks
Alright so these things have trouble moving around with trees but are great in water it is very simple to tame all you need is
Optional
*slingshot 35 at most depends on level
*bow with tranq arrows at most 15 or more
And at least 25-35 meat
It is optional whether you get the saddle first or after you tame it
But it is definitely good to have for early water travel
To avoid getting hit simply build up with now way up for the sarco or stand on a big rock or run and shoot it’s your opinion
I do hope this was helpful
sincerely lonely dodo
These creatures can be tamed with tranq arrows fairly easily, although it may hard to determine the level so I recommend getting extra tranq arrows. After taming the sarco is VERY USEFUL given the time you can tame them if you are experienced enough, they have good dps, go extra fast in water not to mention they don't have to resurface for air. Great for traveling long distances with good defensive options. The one condition is that in the water there are cniderias or jellyfish if you will. If they make contact with you or your dino they will stun them and deal damage overtime. I highly recommend getting a crossbow to be able to attack from a distance because melee won't work, killing them in advance is good because they can move towards you slowly. If you can work with those complications then this will be a beast of a tame.
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
To tame this beast on mobile stay out of water I would recommend you use a crossbow and tranqs if possible use Sothing balm if not use fish meat
Just wanted to say thank you all I tamed my first sarco lol 34 named Rogue lol I got very lucky we will just say tht I screamed an dropped my controller 2 times thanks guys great community
For me, is one of the best pets. It can be tamed easily and fast, and then he give u absolutely defense on the coasts of the island, and underwater. 4 more things about him that helps a lot in game:
1. His speed in water is very big, so u can go for all island by rivers without fear to be eated(if u need, u can escape with him)
2. Ability "C" Is good to hunting, and deal not bad damage(bit more of normal attack)
3. He can pass in almost all caves, so it good companion there(I'm not very "pro" In game, but in South caves, sarco give u the easiest way to obtain a lots of exp, chitin and meat, without doing a lot of work)
4. The last one special and very useful thing that sarco have, is his possibility to turn in one jump, when u want. So if u are on the land, and being attacked from back, only focus camera in the enemy and click on attack button.

Fun Fact for ark mobile: it is very easy to tame sarco at lv 3 if you have a couple clubs you can stay around the middle of the sarco and keeping moving so you say in middle this is because on ark mobile the attacks only can hit you at the front and I would recommend staying in tween two of the legs for easiness and then just worry about having enough meat and narcoberies
To whoever is nervous about their sarco problem that posted on the sixth, raptors can kill these! As long as you have an about lvl 20ish raptor and the sarco is lower level, you’re all good!
PS if you name your raptor Aster Jr after my deceased sarco killer, I would be much obliged (respect for Aster!)
A swift and tough mount, even on land. Even faster in the water.
Attack speed is slow, and the attack range is a small, wide cone, so enemies that are next to its neck tend to not get hit, but keep the enemy a bit further forward and the sarco will be capable of killing it quickly.
Will get stuck on trees easily, can't fit through standard dinosaur gates, and will take wide turns when following.
Sarcos are very slow on land so use a crossbow or better to tranq them so tame on land in and around the swamps or in rivers and ponds. DONT ESCAPE INTO THE WATER THEY HAVE A STRONG BITE AND ARE VERY FAST UNDERWATER!
How to escape a Sarco:
1. If you see one, run. If you want to tame it, don’t ask me.
2. If it sees you, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT run into water, or die.
3. Go into a forest or far away from water and if it’s still following then run to a trike, carboneys (turtle dino with spiky shell and is very cute), or whatever else you find.
4. (If you’re a coward.) Get as far away as possible.
5. (If you are this brave.) Get a good distance away and watch the battle.
6. If it’s dead, scoop up all the loot and be on your way. If not, repeat from instruction 3.
7. Put your stuff in a storage box or something because sometimes there’s someone watching you…
Hope you enjoyed the tip. Listen to the tips. That’s how I found out I could tame raptors. :)
Most people say that they aren’t fast on land, they’re lying!!! Mine is the fastest sarco I’ve had, and I’ve gone through 4. Scar is a lvl 9, and was really easy to tame. I distracted him, knocked him out, then fed him fish meat and barely a half a stack of narcoberries. Once I got him, he changed my life. Up if the helped you!
One has been terrorizing my beach forever now! I keep shooting it with tranquilizer arrows but it won’t pass out! I just want this stupid thing to go awayyyyyyyyyy... oh yeah and it’s killing all the animals so I’m going hungry! Send help

2.Go to its tail and play ring around the Rosie and slap(you can use bare hands lol)its tail until it sleeps.
3.Feed it 40-30 fish meat(prime is optional)
