Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a sarco? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sarco.
These puppies are a semi-noob's best friend. Find them in swamps and near water holes. They really open up the map to you when you're a noob as they allow you to traverse waterways quite easily and quickly. All you need are some tranquil arrows and a decent distance and some raw meat. I've personally tamed 3 of them. They are also very useful for traveling up coasts and collecting lots of meat from dodos and scouting out those rounded rocks that give good metal. 10/10 my favorite dino.
Great for 1v1 combat. Not so good if it is being attacked by all sides
1. Get it stuck on something
2. Shoot it at the head
3. Give it any meat (I prefer prime meat)
4. Name it!
Bring pike walls I kid you not 3 sarcos died from raptors
How to tame sarco:
Where to find sarcos can be found in the swamp which is in the west zone of the island.
Taming details:
Sarcos are knockout tames they are carnivores and they like fish meat more than regular meat.
Problems:
Swamps have many dangerous creatures like snakes and raptors and sarcos usually have low health so you might kill it and they can jump and bite you.
Advantages:
Sarcos are slow on land so its easy to outrun them
Abilities when tamed:
Sarcos can swim super fast you can go all the way to herbivore island to the cold mountains in like 5 minutes and they instantly regain stamina underwater they have a jump attack that does damage and their secondary attack is a death roll.
Disabilities when tamed:
Sarcos dont have that much health and they are a bit slow on land
Hello, I see.these guys always frightens you... Don't worry I got some tips .
1:Find one,they usually spawn near swamp or beaches
2:go near sarco, Then run quickly to some herbivorus animals like parasaur dodo etc..(Not trike btw it will kill it)
3: These beasts always gets distracted so take that wooden club in your hand
Then yeet him while he's attacking other creatures it will get unconscious make sure you have a weapon like bow
4: I suggest giving fish meat inside it's inventory And some narcotics too( maybe 3 or 5 based upon level)
5:Then boom you got your new Friend
I don't know which level is need for saddle
Up if it helped :)

All it takes is a couple tranq arrows and you good I recommend raw fish meat but always have regular prime meant just in case
Dumb turning rates on land so BEAT IT WITH 3 CLUBS but if it’s a higher level like 50 40 30 you might want to use some tranqs
Use Prime Meat To Tame The Sarco
If you want to tame a sarco run up to it don’t aim for the head aim for the belly because the sarco has bad aim that’s how I tamed a sarco with my hands and named it snappy
Ok if you don’t have trank arrows yet just get a bat and attack its tail it works for me
U need about 5 trauq arrow to knock one out then I suggest u use a soothing balm to boost or the sarco might wake up before its tamed it takes a super long time to tame without a southing balm.
Its waste to build a tamming pan for it. To knock out just walk backwards and hit his head with the tranq and the job is done
Very easy early game tame but make sure to lure it away from the swamps because of kapros, other sarcos and titanoboas
Dont feed it raw meat! Feed it raw FISH meat, it tame faster
These are super easy to tame due to being slow on land. just run ahead of them and shoot tranqs (don’t get too close though because they can hit further than you think!)
Real easy. I shot him in the face three times with tranquilizer arrows then just fed him fish once unconscious. Fish works way better than raw meat.
Why do people spend their time and resources building traps for these things? All you need is a crossbow with tranquilizer arrows. Just lead the sarco on land and use a hit and run strategy because the sarcos are slow on land. Just don’t get too close.
Please do this
1. Find a sarco
2. Use darts
3 put food
4 boom here’s a crocodile that has lots of moves😎
Tame it above a cliff not in the water because there can be sharks and dangerous fish and mantas tame it at the bottom of the cliff you shoot if with tranq arrows to tame it.
