What are tips for sarco? Tips and strategies for sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
For taming these guys I would suggest getting it onto land as they are very slow and u can outrun them easily. I would also recommend using tranq arrows or tranq darts
Due to their high health and decent damage, if you're like me and need bio toxins for arrows/tranq darts to Ko most creatures, these hold well for taming a basilo. You can either A. Kill them off by picking one out and beating it to death OR B. Kite them away REAL far near some megs or another basilo. -Mantyll
Sarcos have trouble hitting small creatures (dodos lystros etc) so you can use a small creature to distract it while you (knock it out, kill it etc)
Easy mid or early game tame. All u have to do is lead it away from the swamp hit it with a few tranqs, keep it asleep and shove meat down it’s throat. Also not dying to kapros
Just keep a slight distance away and shoot narco arrows into it's head. If you upgrade your movement speed some (idk how much exactly), you could just keep walking backwards to keep the sarco from reaching you since it never runs on land (at least none of them ever did for me).
The best place to find sarcos is on the south zone where they usually spawn by themselves

Help one of these spawned on the beach and now I'm stuck hiding on the bluff!! He looks stuck!! I don’t know if I should ignore try to tame or just try to kill. Very scary.
You can use a crossbow from its back even when submerged, so it's a great mount to safely tranq other aquatic creatures.
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
He was stuck in tree I got my club out I keep on hitting him I feed him he was so bad I put him in the water.crap he was fast!
If you want to kill a sarcosuchus, you need a dodo armee. Or a dinosaur armee. Just tame 10 dinos etc. That's the easiest way (I think so)
tame these guys if you have access to sickle and a tranq arrows, Learned it in the hard way.
I just found one in the wild and stood on top my quetzal and shot it from above until it passed out
Bring a tanking dino like a parasaur with around 1300 hp then you should be good to tame a lvl 60-75 just ride the parasaur then let it tank the sarco hits and ko him then you got your own croco boy
My sarco killing cindaria killer killed over 198of them
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!
