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.

The sarco is a large, semi-aquatic crocodilian, who can be a rather helpful starter tame, (and possibly end game). The easiest way to tame a sarco, although you may have some of your health depleted, it is a rather effective way. Find yourself an oversized crocodile and get it to come onto land, never fight an Australian crocodile in the water, or it’s all over. Once it has crawled up onto land, get between the base of the tail and it’s hind legs, then, begin to hit it with either your fists (newbie method), a bat (not as newbie), or an electric prod (definitely not newbie method). Once the overfed lizard is knocked out, place the food of your choice (kibble or fish recommended) and wait…and wait…and wait…aaaand wait some more…you get my point. And ta-da, you got yourself a prehistoric Crocodile! Enjoy!

To tame this guy you won't need very many tranq arrows compared to other creatures, you might even be able to slingshot one. You can either stand on a rock and shoot it, or stand back and shoot it. Either way, the sarco is quite slow on land, and it would be lucky to hit you. You won't need to make a trap but if you really want to you could probably make one out of pillars or doorframes. Once you have knocked it out, you won't need many narcotics once again compared to other creatures and any meat will do really but kibble, mutton, or prime meat are probably the best option. If you are new to taming, I would recommend feeding it about one narcotic every time it reaches the last letter in the word 'unconscious'on the purple bar at the top when you are taming it. When the taming bar at the bottom is full, you have tamed your own sarco!They are the fastest on land, so if you are having trouble knocking one out and you are being attacked, don't run into the water! Hope this helped!

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!

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

For all the new players It takes about some Tranq arrows bc I don’t know how many it takes but when it falls down don’t shoot it or you’ll kill it I gotta say DONT let it attack turtles unless it has high health melee damage etc also keep in mind these things are fast in water so I recommend you tame it on land then water

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!!

these are soooo easy to tame guys. Sure their bite packs a large punch, but literally on my second day I saw one and used a hatchet to get him low on health so he will run and a club. They are HORRIBLE turners so just sneak up one from behind and wack it. Slow tamers, but the tapor drops really slow so just get a bed and a lot of meat and sleep by him. I have done this. Btw if u have no meat and the topor is low give it narco berrys. They don’t eat them on it’s own but u can still shove some up it’s snout. Hope it works! Bye

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.
