How do I tame a sarco? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sarco.
Make a wood box and surround it by ramps it's also known as trap
DO NOT TRY TO TAME IT IN WATER! You dont have a chance aganist it in water! Try to bait it to land.
DO NOT TRY TO TAME IF YOU ARE A LOW LEVEL
I know how to tame them
I don’t Iol🤣😂😁😄
Bro level 10 it get knocked out in 8 tranq arrow and with tranq darts are needed only 4 and with shocking darts only 2
My dodo helped me keep in place cause it couldnt hit it I knocked it out easily with club and did I mention it was a 145 on day7
This is how I tamed my sarco on mobile I got a friend and we whacked it with a club and then fed it fish meat it tamed and now it’s level 35 and can take on a Meg -lava
I literally have tamed two sarcos a tapejara and a dire wolf just by knocking them out putting food in its inventory and leaving. Later I check my tames and there it is. Simple!
Killed my dodo but I still had another one
Just so you know, sarcos are stronger while they are wild. They are very fast and good tames if you like the water and want to not die. They are strong, lazy, fat crocodiles that try to protect you. If you see one on land, you don’t have to run from it. They are very slow on land and are nice to kapros but normally get killed by them. If this is useful, don’t let the devil chicken get it, please 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Honestly this guy is huge but such a pain in the a$$ to have to walk him home. My home is not far fromt the spawn point of my Sarco(Daniel) and when i went to tame holy it was a while almost like a year went by. But when it was finished it was worth it. Absolute beast with good health, insane stamina and regen through underwater and good attack. Solid tame for beginners. P.S do not go and fist the sarco unless you want to be snacked use tranqs to be safe. Love the community
Despite their aggressiveness and hit damage they are actually really easy to kill/tame but ima talk more about killing becuse I haven’t actually tamed one yet (I could but I don’t have the time) Ok so you see a sarco near ur camp. Your alone, and a little bit to far for your pets/ teammates to hear or see you. You want to impress them so you engage the monster. First: run to the tale or hip of the beast, preferably with out it seeing you. It is a very slow turner so as long as you keep to its side it won’t kill you. Second: 1; if you are taming it hit it with a club, 2; if you are trying to kill it hit it with your best melee weapon. Third: repeat second step until the sarco is nocked out or dead. If you wanna tame I think the best thing is to use soothing balm and a few pieces of raw or prime meat. Ok now it’s time for a T.R.A.F. (Totally Random Ark Fact) If you have a pet you are not using for hunting set their aggressive to neutral. That way the only thing they attack are things that are attacking them or other pets. It’s great for egg farm animals and show pets so they have less chance of dying. If they stay on attack target they will not attack anything unless you are attacking it too. Even if it’s attacking them. Bye!! Please press 👍🏻 So noobs can see.
tranque it and stuff it with fish meat, that simple.
Use fish meat takes a while but does the job
Number 1 rule be patient
Tell me if this works for you did for me
I just tamed my first one. It took 10 tranq arrows. But that was after I had already used about 15 or 30 regular arrows to lower her health so that I wouldn't use as many tranq arrows, because they are hard to come by until you can make them at level 21. This dino would be a great underwater rider for "beginners" if the saddle for was available before level 35. But it is a good defence animal to have especially if you live on the beach. Good luck to anyone trying to tame them. Any meat will work to tame it after you knock it out but fish is the preferred food of this creature.
Plant species y traps do work on these, i tested it
Super fast in water especially for how easy of a tame it is
I've gone out looking for a lot of these and I haven't found one over lv135 not saying they're aren't any out there just that they are very rare if there are ones over 135
The best way to trap any Dino in the game is to build a trap. You will then want to lure it in. If you put a ladder on the back and a cat walk on top you will be able to shoot down on to it. Once that is done climb down into your put on kib and narcos build a chair and sit.once you have done tamed do not destroy your creation later in the game you will want more either for yourself or to trade/sell.
So my tip is to get a melee preferably a metal weapon and go to the tail walk in circles touching the tail and hit,hit,hit
