Sarcos: all you need to know

Sarcos are strong early-mid game mounts that work as great tanks and defenders. They are best used in beaches and swamps, due too their fast speed in water, but slow speed on land. To tame a Sarco it’s best to used traqs since they have high melee. Get one trapped (which is very easy), build a trap, or simply walk backwards or hover on a flying mount. The dangers of taming a Sarco is, of course, it’s powerful jaws and tendency to leap out of nowhere. You have to watch out for the other creatures as well. Especially the jumpy saber Sarco. Once nocked feed it RAW FISH meat as it take almost 5x less to tame then reg meat. Once you have this guy craft a saddle and ride this terrifying beast! On another note, to kill a Sarco, simply shoot it or bombard it. They are really bad when attacked by multiple strong targets so use that to ur advantage. Hope this was helpful! 100 ^ for more!

I just knocked one out. I was very afraid of these monsters before but its actually a quite easy tame! I recommend this snappy thing for beginners underwater mounts. Good luck taming it. [Up so the noobs see ;D]

Is a bad animal but in water its fast! And it has loooots health - damage you can find thees at swamp

I tame this thing I wish I knew before I tamed it. Is it is hungry if you do get it down. Get a lot of meat and narcotics. He is a good animal in the water. Btw you can knock him out with a bow and narco arrows. Make sure to run around

Easiest and safest way to tame a sarco:

Tame a paracer(the weird giraffe things) and equip it with a platform saddle. Get everything you need to tame the sarco. I recommend finding the one you want to tame before you go in. Once you spot the sarco kill everything hostile in the area including kapros,titanaboas, and raptors, but NOT OTHER SARCOS. Once it’s safe turn your paracer around so that it’s facing back you way you came out of the swamp. Then dismount and run to the back of the platform to make sure the sarco is aggroed on you. Then remount the paracer and run out of the swamp. Once you’re think you’ve gone far enough turn the paracer so that the sarco is now charging towards its side. Run to the edge of the platform and shoot tranquilizers at it. The sarco is aggroed to you and not your paracer so there is no danger for your paracer. Since it’s turn radius is horrible it won’t be able to escape once it starts to torpor run. Now you can safely hop down and begin taming it.

Beware of em near the grassland lakes on lost island, got scared once or twice by em 😬

Otherwise they’re great for caving on underwater caves and are super easy to tame, personally I just use a taller/heftier tanky mount like my baboon Ted to just ride on the back of to tranq, btw the grassland lakes on LI are by far the best area to tame them since there’s no threats besides hyenas

I was lvl 3 when i tamed him i used bat and i was running around and punching him in stomach. Befire that i killed some dodos and feed him. Make my comment go up so new ark players can see it plz

How to tame a sarco:

1. Craft bow and tranq arrows (if you’re a starter and you use wooden bat, you’ll just end up getting eaten)(Narcotics+stone arrow)

2. Find a sarco (not too high level or you might die) in a swamp or something. (I spawned in the Arctic when I didn’t mean to, so that’s where I got mine)

3. Get on a high rock or get it stuck and shoot it, shoot it, shoot it

4. Watch it’s corpse fall

5. Put meat/kibble in inventory (I suggest raw prime meat)

6. Wait and kill some more things

7. Name him/her sarco I (the first)

8. Don’t make him/her kill dimorphodons (Sarco I almost died)

9. Make a saddle for your sarco (a saddle for your sarco)

10. Swim and play everyday

Up if helpful. Listen to the tips. They may just save your life.

DO NOT listen to the person who wrote the following comment: “DO NOT tame in the lower south cave. It will get stuck on the way out and be trapped there forever.”. If it can’t (which will most likely be the case if tamed down there, because (in my experience) Sarcos struggle just entering the cave with how wide they are. But don’t listen to that guy. Just summon it out in the “Request Creature” tab and wait for it to teleport (I have summoned creatures out of the cave when they get stuck and they teleport just fine). Share this with anyone you know who struggles with that.

Give a sarco raw prime meat instead of raw meat that way it will eat the meat

I have 3, Ripjaw, Shredder, and Swampbeast. How to tame:

Get: Fish meat (raw meat works but fish meat is best)

Any kind of ranged tranquilizer weapon plus ammo.

Some narcotics (they don’t usually need them though.)

Stand on a big rock and shoot them with tranqs.

When it’s knocked out, feed it the fish meat.

Protect him from other dinos.

Enjoy your sarco!

Please click the arrow pointing to the sky so noobs like me can see.

Good because they can go on land but are still good divers while also being able to depend themselves so if someone blocks off the river with gates you can go around on land

I see all these comments on how to tame it lol. Easy. Shoot it in the face while walking backwards job done. None of this tame pen rubbish or hugging its legs. If you get one in the swamp your gonna want to lure it out of the swamp though

Hi I guess it’s time to post this. I’m Ember, AKA, the Sarco Master 🐊. I have been posting sense 2019. You will probably know me from my many posts on this and the Dragon page. I made the “All You Need To Know” series as well. IFF U KILLL A SARCO I SHALL KILL U!!!! Anyway reptiles are my fav especially aerials and semi aquatics. My fav tames are the iggy, spino, wyvern, and ofc the SARCO!!! I… umm.. tend to find a creature I like then tame 80000 of them…. Like the deinonychus incident…. So ya! Thx for reading as I take my place with the Otter god, Jerboa king, Archy Lord, and the Defender of Bulldogs!

So I saw a female sarco and I punched her until her health was 200/400 anyways I’m trying to tame her but it’s a VERY VERY VERY long process. Like for me to tame more sarcos!

It’s easy to tame gust knock it out wile standing on a rock in a river then shoot tranqu arrows at it until it’s been knocked out then feed it meet and narcotic there amazing mounts I always use them for killing carbonemuses and other sarcos. Please like this comment guys ✌️✌️✌️👌👌👌🤘🤘🤘

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

One of the better mounts for collecting leech blood as leeches will ignore the sarco.

I play ark mobile, and let me just say that one sarco for me wasn’t enough sooooo naturally I went and tamed 5 of em and OMG I felt like king of the water(seas, oceans, lakes etc)
