Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a sarco? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sarco.
Just dont fight with trike....trike will unconscious your sarco and you may loose battle and your items. Your trike may kill sarco but wild trike will have more chance to make your sarco unconscious!!! Just happened now. I was killing dodo and hit trike accidentally and they 4 attack on my sarco. I won the battle without my sarco but waited around half hour to wake up my sarco again!!🙁
I tamed a female and I used 4 tranqs with a crossbow for a lvl 4 sarco while on a rock but I tried a bola and lost my flak armor after hunting rexs oh and when I tried the bola I was not on a rock. So stay on rocks lol
My best idea is to get high ground or get it stuck between trees and/or rocks, then tranq it until needed.
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.
I have played ark for 60 days and you should make sure it is attacking a Titanoboa and stand about 20 feet away shoot it with tranq arrows about 15 or 10 some times depending on the level while this is happening it will not attack you if it does keep at least 10 15 feet then once it is almost knocked out might it will start to run if it does chase it and shoot it about 2 more times if it doesn’t run keep running backwards shooting it once it is knocked out feed it about 60 meat if it runs out of meat it’s taming will quickly go down once it is tamed I would take a saddle if you do not have a dinosaur to ride home I would not take a dinosaur because it might try to attack your Dino if you are take very a very good Dino because my sarco level 84 died to a sarco level 84 luckily I tamed it a few days later and now I have a beast sarco level 131 and I almost can one shot level 20 trikes and I tried it on a training dummy and it did 6,700 damage I hope this is helpful.
Knock it out with Tranq arrows that what I did then shove some meat into the darn crock that boom done
Idk I just kill them for no reason tee hee
What is best map to tame sarcos on
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
