When taking a ninety five sarco, you need about forty to forty five tranqs. Sarco are not fast at all on land, but in the water they are very fast.

If you see a lvl 145 dont get near armor will be gone.

It’s weakness is it’s back leg

The Dino Study

I first encountered these things on a beach. Extremely dangerous when approached, easy to run away from. Do not escape by water, they will just swim after you.

The sarcos like to be where ever water is, and will hunt any thing they can bite into.

If your unlucky, you’ll spawn in one of their nesting sites (that’s a thing!) where over five sarcos are grouped together for a matter of time. They are extremely grumpy if encountered by a nest intruder, sp make sure you run and run and run (and run and run and RUN!).

Sarcos are easy to kill with spears or arrows since they don’t have the strongest melee.

Taming requires over five tranq arrows! Ver loyal when befriended!

Sarcos are really useful in singleplayer! when you buff up their health and damage they shred. I have a lvl 51 and it really helps. Also they can kill megalodons easily and escape from things. They dont take much tranq arrows and you just need some meat. Or if you have a friend you could get one early by knocking them out with slingshots.

Once you find a sarco DO NOT and I mean it get in the water. You will want to get a good sized rock and just shoot down on it Once you do this get your narcotics and meat ready and feed it.

A way you can tame a sarco is that you get a Griffen and sit in the air hover over them and pelt them with tranqs then once they knocked clear the area of any hostiles and then put some prime meat in there inv and make sure to have some narcotic on you just incase his torpor gets to low for your liking and then just sit there and wait for them to finish taming and then when they done taming just put them in a cryo pod and doom ur done. 👍

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

I found one at a river area there were two before but three trikes killed one but the river area was pretty far from my base and I also died to a raptor that I wanted to tame but when I came back the raptor was gone sadly I had tranq arrows but didn't have crossbows bc I was still lv24 ;-;so I had to wait till I got the crossbow then it was shooting time for the sarco but I hope it doesn't die to the trikes that killed the other one

If you find a lvl 1-10 you can just close up fight them it’s quite easy

SUPER GOOD! Okay I just want to say, this thing definitely isn’t as good as a spino, but it’s really easy to tame, 3 or 4 shots with a tranq arrow and you have it. It goes SUPER fast underwater and pretty fast on land and it does a lot of damage! My level 13 killed megalodons EASY! I lost my stuff at the bottom of the ocean and the sarco literally got me all the way down to get it back and got me all the way up again. It’s so good and definitely worth taming!

This damn boy is a machine in early game to mid might be hard to find a sarco with an ho under 1k if your a beginner but it is what it is if your lazy to make a trap get your tranqs ready go to a swamp and get it's attention shoot it and run shoot it and run it fells like your fighting Micheal Myers if he ever was a reptile keep going untill he's knocked out the sarco has a long cooldown to feed it again if your at the stage where you unlocked a sword go on a massacre killing diplo and other sarcos and paraar to get prime meat if your scared to go killing then from the start have a ton of narcotics with you when you tame a sarco put the skill points on stamina or health it's damage is already good but if you want go damage and HP if you get a pack of these bad boys your gonna start slaying megalodons easily (if you have a baryonx with you so he can stun)

Hope this helps

Easiest and safest way to tame a sarco:

Tame a paracer(the weird giraffe things) and equip it with a platform saddle. Get everything you need to tame the sarco. I recommend finding the one you want to tame before you go in. Once you spot the sarco kill everything hostile in the area including kapros,titanaboas, and raptors, but NOT OTHER SARCOS. Once it’s safe turn your paracer around so that it’s facing back you way you came out of the swamp. Then dismount and run to the back of the platform to make sure the sarco is aggroed on you. Then remount the paracer and run out of the swamp. Once you’re think you’ve gone far enough turn the paracer so that the sarco is now charging towards its side. Run to the edge of the platform and shoot tranquilizers at it. The sarco is aggroed to you and not your paracer so there is no danger for your paracer. Since it’s turn radius is horrible it won’t be able to escape once it starts to torpor run. Now you can safely hop down and begin taming it.

I would suggest taming an itchy first because you can attack sharks with them and they won’t harm you and you get lots of fish meat. You can tame a sarcophagus with normal meat but they prefer fish meat and will tame faster with fish meat.

I have three of these, Fungus, Jade, and Tar. We are UnStOpAbLe

If you are gonna tame one of these big ole beasts, all you need to do is punch the back thigh and turn when it turns because it can’t bend back which gives you an easy tame.
