Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a sarco? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a sarco.
Hit it with a bat on the tail so it won’t get u I’m confused how I got this before a Dilo
Just wanted to say thank you all I tamed my first sarco lol 34 named Rogue lol I got very lucky we will just say tht I screamed an dropped my controller 2 times thanks guys great community
super easy to tame! i have 3 of these now so here's a short guide:
1. make a raft. put any storage container on it with a simple bed. this is just a precaution in case you die in the process (which you shouldnt!)
2. pop some spare food into your storage if you want, as well as some extra meat. your safest option is to take about 2 stacks.
3. get some tranq arrows. alot if you want to be safe. around 10 is a good amount though. there isnt really a way of telling the level without being up close so it's best to take as many as you can. make a new bow (you dont want it to break mid-fight)
4. take your raft and go find a sarco! they spawn mainly at the southern islands and in swamps.
5. park your raft a little bit away from the sarco and plod on over!
6. firstly, dont panic when it starts coming over. panic is what makes you sarco dinner. secondly, lure the sarco onto land - theyre waayyy slower inland than in water. still, keep your distance.
7. just keep shooting it with tranq arrows until it's down. if you run out, run for your life and try again another day.
8. once it's down, starve tame it. you dont want to risk losing any precious meat. they usually take about 8 minutes.
9. protect the sarco at all costs! things might come and try and attack you - especially at night. dont let them get your lizard.
10. enjoy your tamed sarco!!
Alright so these things have trouble moving around with trees but are great in water it is very simple to tame all you need is
Optional
*slingshot 35 at most depends on level
*bow with tranq arrows at most 15 or more
And at least 25-35 meat
It is optional whether you get the saddle first or after you tame it
But it is definitely good to have for early water travel
To avoid getting hit simply build up with now way up for the sarco or stand on a big rock or run and shoot it’s your opinion
I do hope this was helpful
sincerely lonely dodo
Easiest way to tame one before level 20
1 Get a slingshot and over 25 stones
2 Find a Sarco on the beach and get it to chase you
3 Walk backwards and shoot it with the sling shot
4 Name it Socks
1.Find a sarco
2.Go to its tail and play ring around the Rosie and slap(you can use bare hands lol)its tail until it sleeps.
3.Feed it 40-30 fish meat(prime is optional)
4.You op water mount now nice.
It's pretty easy to tame if you have a long range weapon that deal torpor, just remember to stand at a high place while knocking it out, and always check for any dino that might interfere with you. After knocking it out feed it raw fish meat or prime meat, then wait and you have yourself a sarco
Fun Fact for ark mobile: it is very easy to tame sarco at lv 3 if you have a couple clubs you can stay around the middle of the sarco and keeping moving so you say in middle this is because on ark mobile the attacks only can hit you at the front and I would recommend staying in tween two of the legs for easiness and then just worry about having enough meat and narcoberies
Surprisingly easy to tame or kill, just:
Run up to it with bat or whatever
And STAY between the back legs and tail while hitting it
(Beware it use almost all of a bats durability)
Then feed fish meat to tame
If you found this helpful please up
Thanks
Most people say that they aren’t fast on land, they’re lying!!! Mine is the fastest sarco I’ve had, and I’ve gone through 4. Scar is a lvl 9, and was really easy to tame. I distracted him, knocked him out, then fed him fish meat and barely a half a stack of narcoberries. Once I got him, he changed my life. Up if the helped you!
Sarcos are very slow on land so use a crossbow or better to tranq them so tame on land in and around the swamps or in rivers and ponds. DONT ESCAPE INTO THE WATER THEY HAVE A STRONG BITE AND ARE VERY FAST UNDERWATER!
1.) Get harpoon launcher and net.
2.) Find Sarco.
3.) Net the Sarco.
4.) Shoot it with tranqz & knock out.
5.) Feed it prime meat or fish.
6.) Enjoy your new best friend.
For beginners, don’t be super scared to tame it! I was nervous my first time trying, but it was honestly really easy. I hit it three times with a tranq arrow (on a crossbow) and it started to run and got stuck on a rock lol, then I just finished it off with my wooden club (my crossbow broke after three shot lmao). They are slow on land, so you can just shoot and run as long as there aren’t any other bad Dino’s around. Good luck!!
The sarcos is probably the best early to mid game mount it’s high health and stamina make it a pretty fast mount and it levels up pretty fast also not to mention its stamina and health stats level up pretty quick if you were to upgrade them Sarcosuchus are semi aquatic animals meaning the are both land and sea creatures hope this helped
Hi I guess it’s time to post this. I’m Ember, AKA, the Sarco Master 🐊. I have been posting sense 2019. You will probably know me from my many posts on this and the Dragon page. I made the “All You Need To Know” series as well. IFF U KILLL A SARCO I SHALL KILL U!!!! Anyway reptiles are my fav especially aerials and semi aquatics. My fav tames are the iggy, spino, wyvern, and ofc the SARCO!!! I… umm.. tend to find a creature I like then tame 80000 of them…. Like the deinonychus incident…. So ya! Thx for reading as I take my place with the Otter god, Jerboa king, Archy Lord, and the Defender of Bulldogs!

Easy to tame as long as they are on land.
Once tamed, his food bar runs out sooooo quickly so be sure to put a lot of meat in his inventory :)
It took me 30 seconds to finish taming this beast.
It’s easy just try Sattle is level 35
For beginners, these crocs will make your life on ARK so much easier and you will NOT regret you obtained one. You can ride them at lvl 35. They are super fast swimmers and even travel quickly on land too. To tame quickly:
1 ) Shoot with tranq arrows until unconscious
2 ) Fill it's inventory with Fish Meat or Prime Meat
3 ) Protect your croc from nearby enemies
4 ) Enjoy your new dino !!!!!!!!!!!!
Pro Tip: These guys are great for obtaining tons of meat on land, but bring lots of meat/fish in your crocs inventory before travelling into the water, the croc will eat and drain it's food supply very quickly while underwater. Fish gathering I DO NOT recommend with this dino.
For taming these guys I would suggest getting it onto land as they are very slow and u can outrun them easily. I would also recommend using tranq arrows or tranq darts
