Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a sarco? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sarco.
Guys the saddle is unlocked at lvl 35
Find a legal 9 one and it will be ezyer to nock out and use a lot of cooked meet to will tame real fast.
Tamed one of these along with a Kapro at the same time. Build 2x2 building with walls 1 high, ramps all around. I brought my Rex with me and took out all the snakes. Waited a bit till I saw one within range and shot it once and lured it to the trap kapro came with it. Tranqed both out standing on my Rex and done! Bring narcotics, and trike kibble for mobile.
These guys aren’t hard to tame or kill, what ur gonna do is sacrifice a pet to a close by sarco. I recommend a parasaur. Then you are gonna get a buddy to help you, or by yourself. Your gonna pull out a club and knock that thing out. And get some narcotics and raw meat. Enjoy your sarco.
THIS THING IS SO AWESOME!!
I RECOMMEND IT
Get on a high place and crossbow it till it’s down and use fish meat or better to tame it I got it from level 36 to level 46 just by taming it.
Easy to tame. Just use the turtle method. Walk backwards and shoot it with even a sling shot. But make sure to stay out of range of it’s jump attack. Take it from a guy who did it and succeed. But do not, I repeat, do NOT lead it into water. It’ll be your end.
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
I find alot in swamp but be careful lots of snakes carnoes and raptors around my swamp.
Sooooooooo 0P in the water 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊 it could probably take on a rex 🦖 in the water
In water , It will swim around u like a flyer , on land it , it will just straight up attack u , so I recommend if it is only one sarco battle it in water .
Super ez to tame!😄 I recommend getting somewhere high or using a Beezlebuffo to jump ahead and shoot it with tranq arrows or toxiant arrows🐸. Once it’s knocked shove prime meat in its mouth 🍖 Then BOOM tamed Sarco 🤯
EATS SLOWER THEN Pterodactyl but earns a lot of Xp
To knock it out ez, use a club and keep runn8ng at its back leg (any) and hitting. U will garantee that u will take ZERO damage if done right up so all can see
these guys are such gigachads.
to tame one place 3 wooden billboards in a "C" shape with a large bear trap in the middle. when you aggro the sarco, walk lead it into the trap (DO NOT GO INTO ANY WATER) and when the bear trap is activated place a fourth billboard behind the sarco. shoot with tranqs and if done quickly and while the bear trap is active the sarco should not be able to break out in time. if it does just walk backwards and shoot it.
these guys are excellent Underwater mounts and will be able to swim away incredibly fast. they can kill individual megalodons even at low levels. my guy steve is a Chad. the death roll attack is great on land as well.
downsides are their slow land movement speed and the fact that they eat a lot of raw fish meat. my boy steve is one of my favourite tames.
Tamed one of these buggers with a parasaur an ichthyornis and a slingshot
I knocked one with a slingshot at lvl 6 :]
It’s says you need narcotics to tame with fish meat but I tamed one without using a single narcotic
If you recently just leveled up to the point where you can research its saddle, I highly recommend taming a sarco at a low level (LV70 or below if solo). They are very fast in water and if you are on mobile, they have three great abilities plus they can attack to the sides when you angle your camera that way. The only downside is the turn speed on land and slightly poor base stats when compared to Dinos.
Get on to of a large rock and shoot it with tranquility arrows
