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.

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.

Tip : DO NOT bring these guys to waters with Cnidarias (jellyfish).

they will not survive because of their low HP pool (you can level up their health but it wont help much)

and always avoid waters with Cnidarias because their detection range is just broken.

by the way, this is how i lost my Sarco, Swampy Bob.

R.I.P

i also started a new save, deleted the previous one (i felt helpless) and tried to not repeat the same mistakes. (im still gonna tame a sarco in my new save)

Pro battle tips:

If you are a pro these beasts are easy to kill if you're a pro you can duel this beast using a pike or spear and arrows. I kill thousands of them. You might take some hits but with dodging the attacks the attacks are lesser.

Beginners battle tip:

If you're new to ark and encountered this beast you probably need to climb a really high rock and shoot it with arrows or slingshot. If they climb the rock run and find another. If you failed find one find a animal. When the sarco is distracted shoot it. Or just run away.

Thank you for following the tip! 😊

tame these guys if you have access to sickle and a tranq arrows, Learned it in the hard way.

These are super strong beginner tames all you need to tame one is a bow and tranq arrows because of their high damage. If you see one I’d recommend just running if you’re a begginer(two of these killed and destroyed everything I had when I started in single player) if you’re taming one lure it away from other creatures and water fisrt then just walk backwards and shoot and if it come close just run and reset.

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

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).

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

I got 4 Sarcos (one died, F for him) they're actually very easy to tame (in my opinion) you put them on a trap or simply attract them away from the water, then grab some narcotics as a precaution and use a rifle or a crossbow and grab some fish meat

Need a bridge under water mount.Tame this.Level up movement and melee and you can tame a mosa or basil.

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

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)

In TLC Phase 2 the sarcosuchus gets a remodel,reworked animations plus a death-roll,with smaller creatures you just grab them,butwith larger creatures you roll violently doing damage to them.did mention that it will also be getting a 180 degree attack?

Why are these things so stupidly fast??

My sarco killing cindaria killer killed over 198of them

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!

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!
