How ARK players tame and knock out the Sarco: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

Sarcos: all you need to know

Sarcos are strong early-mid game mounts that work as great tanks and defenders. They are best used in beaches and swamps, due too their fast speed in water, but slow speed on land. To tame a Sarco it’s best to used traqs since they have high…

I just knocked one out. I was very afraid of these monsters before but its actually a quite easy tame! I recommend this snappy thing for beginners underwater mounts. Good luck taming it. [Up so the noobs see ;D]

DO NOT listen to the person who wrote the following comment: “DO NOT tame in the lower south cave. It will get stuck on the way out and be trapped there forever.”. If it can’t (which will most likely be the case if tamed down there, because (in my experience) Sarcos…

Good because they can go on land but are still good divers while also being able to depend themselves so if someone blocks off the river with gates you can go around on land

I see all these comments on how to tame it lol. Easy. Shoot it in the face while walking backwards job done. None of this tame pen rubbish or hugging its legs. If you get one in the swamp your gonna want to lure it out of the swamp though

How to tame a sarco:

1. Craft bow and tranq arrows (if you’re a starter and you use wooden bat, you’ll just end up getting eaten)(Narcotics+stone arrow)

2. Find a sarco (not too high level or you might die) in a swamp or something. (I spawned in the Arctic when I…

I tamed one of these crocs and they’re actually super powerful. Well they don’t get that much love because the bigger and more better crocodile. Deino takes the spot, but this croc is definitely worth taming. It can kill a fully grown. Para and maybe even challenger Rex or…

One of the better mounts for collecting leech blood as leeches will ignore the sarco.

What you need to tame a sarco as a noob

1:get meat

2:find a sarco

3:get in between the hind leg and the tail

4:start punching until unconscious

5:give sarco meat

6:congratulate yourself for taming a sarco

If this helped,pls leave a like if helped

So I saw a female sarco and I punched her until her health was 200/400 anyways I’m trying to tame her but it’s a VERY VERY VERY long process. Like for me to tame more sarcos!

I play ark mobile, and let me just say that one sarco for me wasn’t enough sooooo naturally I went and tamed 5 of em and OMG I felt like king of the water(seas, oceans, lakes etc)

How to tame: A Sarco

Step One: Get Tranq. Arrows, darts, or any other weapon. Get narcotics

Step two: find Sarco

Step three: trap it (you can use traps, or you can go on a ledge where you can attack it without it biting

Step four: Feed it RAW FISH MEAT. If it’s…

Get a bow with trans arrows (1-5) for low level, go on a rock if you are low level and shoot it with tranqs. However wait for it to finish attacking animals and other Dino’s or it may be killed by them when unconscious.

I have 3, Ripjaw, Shredder, and Swampbeast. How to tame:

Get: Fish meat (raw meat works but fish meat is best)

Any kind of ranged tranquilizer weapon plus ammo.

Some narcotics (they don’t usually need them though.)

Stand on a big rock and shoot them with tranqs.

When…

How to tame Sarco before level 15: (at least)

1. Find Sarco

2. Lure Sarco towards you

3. Sprint towards back leg

4. Whoop with a bat in the back thigh and spin with it

5. Sarco is tamed

Up if helpful

Because of bad turn radius if it has enough health, go to the tail and just keep punching, then you really knock it out easily. It was my first tame 🤣😂🤣😂

I recommend taming one, they are super fast in the water, and they do a LOT of damage. I have tamed carnos and therizos but my one Sarco is the strongest one, I easily killed a megalodon and mine is only level 25, I only leveled up the stamina, speed and melee strength.…

Get a taller trap as they can jump at you now since the rework and will jump over a wall or railing to get you. These are AMAZING water tames. Tame these, breed them till you have crazy mutations and then bring them into the ocean and destroy everything around. Megalodon teeth…
