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…

You wanna tame one of these things? Ok 👍 👌 so what you'll need is 5 narcotic Arrows just to be safe and it should only need 3 to knock it out it's slow on land but also powerful so make sure you have distance and bring meat.

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…

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

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

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…

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…

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…

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…

Bruh I JUST realized that fish literally tamed 10 faster lol. USE THE FISH

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…

This damn boy is a machine in early game to mid might be hard to find a sarco with an ho under 1k if your a beginner but it is what it is if your lazy to make a trap get your tranqs ready go to a swamp and get it's attention shoot it and run shoot it and run it fells…

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
