Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a sarco? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sarco.
Hard to knock it out bcoz it will chicken away when low health
TAMING TIMER IS WRONG ALWAYS ADD ATLEAST 15 MINUTES ON TOP
When you find a one of these tanks lead them to a boulder it cant get on and get on top of the boulder and fire away
Taming this thing is simple. Craft a club and make sure you have hide armour. Run to it (make sure it’s out of the water) and hit that shit. Very easy to knock Sarco’s out, might wanna slingshot them a bit too. Make sure you have raw meat and narcs, or a mortar and pestle with mats for narcs. ~HaPpY HuNtInG~
Go to a swamp and knock it out with a crossbow and tranq arrows you can just feed it normal meat come with a saddle if you are near water and are far from your base there rockets in water
I suggest landing on a rock above the sarco and just shooting down. Try knock it outside of the water due to other fish such as piranhas. Great water mount but does need to surface every now and again for air
Pretty much good for prime meat. I mean, you get prime meat by killing it. And Sarco skin.
Thay are a good tame for mid game
If you find a good sarco to tame in the swamp, you can build a cage on a raft and lure it in. After you've cought it just drive the raft out of the area and go tranq it somewhere safe.
It takes a while for the torpor to drop so, I'd say tranq it and then go get some prime fish meat from some sabertooth salmon.
The amount would will depend on your server settings. After you got the meat the sarcos hunger should be down by alot so you might end up instant taming it.
Normal fish meat will work too but the taming affectiveness will take a hit.
If your having trouble getting enought prime, you can also put in all the prime you have and then fish meat just to get a few more levels.
If you are taming a sarco make sure that there's no other sarcos around because the will attack you and you will lose your stuf in the swamp or wherever you tame it.
The are really easy to tame due to their slow walk speed you can out run them just watch out when it gets you it does a twist attack temporarily stunning you.There saddles are really easy to make (besides the cement paste😭)
I have a good way of fighting these absolute beasts, you get a weapon and circle around their behind, as their attack hitbox is at the mouth. They will keep turning, and you will turn aswell, so you keep spinning and attacking until the sarco dies. Used this method to defend my base when i was a beginner.
sarco are very good for mid game they are fast and strong easy to tame to tame: shoot them with a tranq arrow and run form them and shoot them again till you knock it out now feed it with meat or fisch meat and now you got yourself a sarco
Alright ik everyone says you need to trap it but you really dont.
Sarcos have ridiculously massive turn radius so you can just juke it, go up to the belly and punch it until its asleep. Feed fish meat and you'll have a sarco.
You can tame this easily by using tranq arrows
Sarco is the must useful semi-aquatic dinosaur! They can travel on land and water their fast in water but slow on land at least they can go on land and survive unlike itchys they are pretty weak when wild but if you add enough points to its damage health and stamina it'll be unstoppable here's how to tame this jurrasic Aligator! It has 3 attacks Normal bite attack lunge attack and death roll attack to do the special attacks on mobile swipe up on the left side of your screen for the lunge attack swipe down on the left side of your screen for the death roll to tame these beasts you need tranq arrows since these are not starter tames cook up some fish meat and find a sarco if there's a pretty tall rock go on it if there's no safe rocks around use your tame to run away from the sarco and get far enough so you can still shoot it but it can't get you continue this until it's knocked out then give it cooked fish meat Now you should starve it for a bit till it's hungry enough to eat the food you gave it and this will mean your gonna need Narcos so get those before taming one have a bed near the sleeping sarco so you get sleep and pass time after it's starved give it the food after a bit bam you have a jurrasic Aligator! 💅💅
Simple sarco taming coming up everyone!
For this tame I will recommend 3 methods, and you can pick yours.
Method one, the cheap but risky method.
Equipment
A deadly tame or weapon, (eg carno or ascendant shotgun)
An Equus,
A crossbow with tranq arrows,
Meat or regular kibble,
Narcotics.
(Note; The last three things on the list are included in all the methods, but I won’t tell you it each time.)
Use your deadly weapon or tame to kill all the kapros, titanoboas, etc.
Hop on your Equus and play chasy on LAND while trancing it till it’s down.
Method 2, billboard trap.
Equipment:
4 metal billboards,
1 large bear trap
Easy. Please 3 metal billboards in a |_| shape and a large bear trap in the centre. Lure the sarco in to the trap and place the final billboard.
Method 3 the box trap.
1 stone foundation
4 stone doorways,
2 wood ramps.
Get 1 stone floor down and place doorframes around it then place the ramp, lure the sarco up the ramp into the box.
Uses:
Sarco are fastish on land but ultra fast in water. PIRANHAS WILL BECOME PASSIVE NEARBY A SARCO! The bite attack is deadly.
Thanks for reading!
If you find one that's not from the swamp, make them go into the water, so they can starve from swimming, and then easy tame.
if your lucky you can find one. alone without a snake if u find one make sire u repire the club or use tranq arrows bola it and hit it from it guts if you try to hit them from their head they will attack you
Here’s a tip once you find a sarco you better pray there’s a corbonemys nearby now go to that turd and let the sarco attack it then bash it with a wooden stick and now you have a strong best friend
