ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
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.
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.

Player: OH HOLY HECK...
Sarco Group: You will become our lunch.
Player: *Dies from sarcos in water*
Player: I JUST WANTED TO GO TO REDWOODS!
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!
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!)
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
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
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. :)
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
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!
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
I think Sarcos are amazing mounts. When in water, they are decently fast and don't have an oxygen stat. Also they don't run out of stamina because it doesn't go down at all. They are also pretty good land mounts. Although they are very slow, they are pretty powerful. I wouldn't suggest fighting anything harder than a pleseosaur and on land nothing harder than a Rex. All in all, I think Sarcos are amazing mounts!
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 beginners, don’t be super scared to tame it! I was nervous my first time trying, but it was honestly really easy. I hit it three times with a tranq arrow (on a crossbow) and it started to run and got stuck on a rock lol, then I just finished it off with my wooden club (my crossbow broke after three shot lmao). They are slow on land, so you can just shoot and run as long as there aren’t any other bad Dino’s around. Good luck!!
Easy to tame as long as they are on land.
Surprisingly easy to tame or kill, just:
Run up to it with bat or whatever
And STAY between the back legs and tail while hitting it
(Beware it use almost all of a bats durability)
Then feed fish meat to tame
