Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a sarco? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sarco.
I recommend that if you want to tame one you should get tranq arrows or a club to knock out, you can use anything else that knocks out dinos. They arent very hard to tame at all.
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)
I have lost my gallimimus because of a sarco. I trusted dododex for the narcotics count. The sarco woke up an killed me and my Genral G. One ^ for General G
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
Get a bow with trans arrows (1-5) for low level, go on a rock if you are low level and shoot it with tranqs. However wait for it to finish attacking animals and other Dino’s or it may be killed by them when unconscious.
You can tame with normal meat
And they are found in swamp
If you tame sarco from clever cave than dinos won't attack you if you don't believe me just try it yourself

I recommend taming one, they are super fast in the water, and they do a LOT of damage. I have tamed carnos and therizos but my one Sarco is the strongest one, I easily killed a megalodon and mine is only level 25, I only leveled up the stamina, speed and melee strength. Knocking it put is easy, just get it to follow you on land then throw some tranq arrows or darts to knock it out and feed it raw meat
This is a great tame from early game to mid game it’s easy to knock out I recommend for you to atleast get hide armor and I also recommend tranq arrows but if your desperate like me use a sling shot to the head they will still be knocked out if you get a pair you can breed them and they will be a good tame!
ITS SO EASY TO TAME!!! You don’t even need a weapon I tamed a level 20 by getting by its back legs, hitting it with bare hands and when it spins run back to the legs. Then shove fish down its throat and bam, a sarco. Mine is level 93 now and I ride it in the ocean and kill megalodons for fun (I have also tamed a megalodon I aren’t losing the opportunity) now lizzy the sarco is my favourite tame ever
Good for meat grinding and nothing else but over powered wen leveled up in combat easy to tame I guess good for traveling in water
Get at there back legs and follow in circle on land if in water pray for mercy
Feed it fish meat when taming it’s faster than normal meat!

If you find it near your base just tame it you won't regret it. I tamed 1 I first thought it wasn't that fast then I took it in the water then I realized my mistake . Holy crap that's fast
How to tame a Sarco (for beginners, Preferbably easy mode)
1 Get a wooden club
2 Find sarco
3 Keep spinning and keep hitting it in the thighs.
You spin around with the sarco and keep hitting it until it gets knocked out
Now you hoave one
These can be picked up by a quetz so pick one bring it to base and drop it in a taming pen
on my 2nd day of ark (real time) and i saw a female sarco who looked exactly like swamp (my sarco who was killed by jellyfish in my resent world) so i made a little wooden box 4 big woden walls and a door frame i led the sarco aka swamp the 2nd and i KO it out with 2 slingshots and i has about 50 rocks of course i missed a few times it was lvl 18 just like swamp when she was killed now it’s lvl 30 and i’m lvl 27 and i also have a rex (saw blade), carno (toast), deadly trio aka my 3 raptors Ares, hunter, and the leader ivy and a parasaur (para) her boy friend died to a 140 massive chicken with big claws 😭. Dilo,(mini killer), one of those starter bird thingys (shadow bolt) , and my baba sarco i’m rasing up now named snappy and i for got how to spell it but his name means swamp in japanese he is snappy’s dad. Dada cherry and finally chicken (both dodos.) hope u enjoyed 🙂😊
1. Find one
2. Get up in a high rock
3. Tranq it. You can also use a slingshot
4. When it is knocked out give it fish meat or raw prime meat
5. Be sure to have narcoberries or narcotics
6. You’ve got yourself a Sarco!
Make a croc pit and put your enemies into it.
It's better to tame one you find at a beach/river than one in the swamp. The swamp has a lot of dangers that can make taming in there a nightmare (namely titanboa and other sarco, but leeches are not fun either)
You can find them near pretty much any body of water. Sometimes they are hard to see if they are in the water. They will follow you out of the water, since they are much slower on land try to lead them away from the water.
