I’ve tamed one of these guys with a club, all you need to do it run at its back legs, and go in a circle. They don’t really use there 180 turn.
Must tame me and my friend tamed one and it made our life’s so much easier
Step 1: grind xp
Step 2: upgrade hp
Step 3: get prime meat
Step 4: get you fingers ready cuz you will experience a lot of clicking pain
step 3 brutaly punch the croc till it’s knocked out then feed prime meat
now enjoy the croc
(Pro tip: when punching croc try staying away from the mouth)
An easy tame, get tranqs and meat, find one, get up high on a rock shoot it with a couple tranqs, make sure its knocke out, feed it, and bam! There’s your sarco, now i can say “fear the dingdong“ and have everything be afraid!
(for those beginners who dont know how to get the tranq darts in the gun: you select the darts, press and hold, then drag the dart icon to the gun, bam! Now ya got tranq darts!)

If u have trouble taming it here are some tips:
U dont even need tanrq arrows all u need is 2 slingshots and a bunch of rocks find one and knock it out i recommend using bio toxins wich u can get from cnidarias and just feed it raw meat and thats it
Having trouble taming a sarco?
Here are some tips:
1. Find a large, open space with little to no other creatures around that will attack you or the sarco when unconscious.
2. Once you find a safe place, find a rock or a ledge that is high enough so the sarco can't reach you.
3. Use tranq arrows but check on the torpor and health ever other or every other 2 hits.
4. When the torpor gets high and the sarco starts running away, don't hit it with another tranq arrow unless the torpor starts to drop again. It should be unconscious within 8-10 seconds.
5. Once unconscious, tame with either prime meat or the preferred kibble and have at least 100 narco berries in the inventory.
How to tame: Step 1: Prepare yourself a Bow, Crossbow, Longneck Rifle, any weapon that is ranged. Step 2: Craft a tranquilizer arrow, Dart etc. A tranquilizer arrow can be unlocked in lvl 21 Step 3: Find a sarco and tranqulize the Sarco until unconscious Step 4: Get yourself some Raw meat or raw fish meat (I recommend prime fish meat or Triceratops kibble) then feed it Step 5 Congrats yourself getting a Sarco, Hope this helped :) 🐊
My first Dino was a Sarco. These things are beasts! Usually have lots of health, too!
I simply used a crossbow and toxic ant arrows, killed all the dodos and dilos in the area, and 15 mins later, slayed a carno with this guy.
It takes a long time to tame i would bring boi toxin just in case its a really great pet. I dont think bolas work on it.
These things are powerful and easy to take. Get some tranqs, a bow, crossbow, or even a slingshot (for low levels). On land you can outrun them so you can easy to knock out. Just run a bit, shoot a few tranqs/stones and repeat. Once you knock it out, you can feed it fish meat to get better taming than normal meat. Pump health and melee and you have a solid carnivore.
Sarcosuchus can be found anywhere on the beach or the swamps.
Do not EVER attempt to knock out in the water. Sarcos are extremely quick and circle around you, making it difficult to get a hit in.
On land you can hit one with Tranq Arrows (take a number depending on the Level and your aim). Feed Sarcos fish meat for better results. Force-feed Narcotics or Biotoxin to keep their Tumor high.
It will take a bit of time, but taming a Sarcosuchus is in fact quite easy if your at least Level 21 and/or have access to Tranq Arrows. If you're using a Slingshot, find a Level 1 Sarco or good luck...
I finally had this guy knocked out or— girl. I put normal meat in and saw it only did 7 something %. I killed a nearby paracer and got a whopping 8 PRIME MEAT! (It’s a lot for me on mobile-) AT LEVEL 5! And I put two in but it counted 4.. so I’ll guess one piece can be eaten twice?
I tamed my first sarco with a couple of tranq arrows. You can use any meat, but prime meat is the best. I was able to tame mine with just regular meat.
For beginners wanting to tame this thing (before tranq arrows): I have found 4-6 slingshots and a ridiculous amount of stone is suitable enough to knock one of these guys out. Make sure to bait it out of the water long & far enough so once they start running they will be to far away. Making a small thatch trap is also useful as it will help you secure some more hits even though it will eventually break it. I have found this method to only be viable though with Level 50 and lower Sarcos but as a beginner tame they are ridiculously good.
You should be very carful one time a sarco attacked on my raft i wanted to tame him but I didn’t had much trank arrow so always cary trank arrows and a crossbow
I knocked a level 25 sarco when I was level 3 because I was spinning around him/her hitting him/her with a bat and they eventually got knocked and I tamed it then it died :c
Best thing to do about these guys if you haven’t learned tranq arrows is stay very far away. However taming is a good idea after you have tranq, they are really not that hard to tame. Best chances are to find one and shoot it and lure it on a fast-semi fast Dino (ON LAND) to a safe place and then just load it’s AssS with tranq. Then gibe some meat and you good.
A sarco is a very nice replacement for a raft and are faster than most aquatic animals. DO NOT DO THE RUN BACKWARDS METHOOD THEY JUMP. Standing on a rock is the best way and there easy to tame. DON'T FIGHT A TRIKES. They tear sarcos up
If u are weak follow it and wait for it to attack a normal dino like para or any other high hp dino that can’t attack back and u come from behind and start killing/taming
