Great early to mid game tame, defends base early game, decent mount mid game, great at collecting meat and good way for early-mid game players to get prime, although not very good for pvp.

I'm not sure if anyone has the same experience as me but I find myself leveling up faster than usual on a sacro. I may be wrong or right so please tell me in the comments if anyone has experienced this.

Pros and cons

The Sarco already got a TLC, it won’t be getting another.

If you have a sarco and you want to get ALOT of hide bite a braceosores and bring it into the water and kill it it’s so easy

Use a sword or any other weapon (preferably a ranged weapon) to kill these things but be careful. While I have no fighting experience against these things, I know that they are pretty slow on land, so get some hits on it when it’s on land. Never fight these things in water, they are super fast in there-t

Ride this dino when you are shooting at a new tame. Their snout is so far from you. Trikes and other dino’s will not attack much or not at all.

Controls on switch!

L2: death-roll

R2: bite

Last: raptor

Next: pachyrhinosaurus

it eats a lot of meat. bring at least a few stacks for adventures

Sarcos are powerful if used right. I killed an alpha carno with a sarco because I was deep enough for it to ignore me..... and I was an early survivor when that happened.....

These are very good for killing brontus

Though I would not recommend traversing inland with these unless along a river for a quick getaway, Sarcos are really reliable mounts when travelling across the sea and rivers. Relatively slower on land, when you put these bad boys in water, they are giant toothed torpedoes. Their base stats are not bad and can be improved by adding a couple points first to health, melee and stamina. When you want to explore the island, add a few more points to movement speed and you'll have a mount that can kill and swim efficiently. Like in the dossier, these crocs are shark hunters, so don't be scared when encountering a Meg, you can easily diminish them but as long as you are constantly circling around them so they won't bite you. But I wouldn't fight anything other than that because the ocean is a dangerous place . And beware of jellyfish. Hate those buggers.I learned the hard way and lost my level 67 Sarco "Swampy". Overall my favourite Dinosaur in Ark Survival!

Very great Dino my level 203 sarco not breed killed a lvl 45 alpha Meg it is possible because of stamina and speed and this Dino is very under-rated

Expanding upon my last tip, my Sarco has reached level 143 or so and she's completely unstoppable. Pump health and melee, bit of stam for good measure, and as long as you keep the river in running distance your high level sarcosuchus can take on any rex and at least mid alpha carnos. And they're easy so easy to tame, they are a must have tame.

if you got high level you can slay everything in your path even in water Exept giga

I have started several solo / non-dedicated games over quarantine (pc failed few times) and every time i tame one of these guys... They make travel quick (using the rivers and oceans) and can tank soooo much damage..best early game tame ever

Long live "After 8" (my green and black sarco)

It's a really good tame especially in water. Use one of these around like 40-50 to kill alpha megladons easy. Just circle around and hit their tail or body and it can't hit you back. Just watch for you're oxygen (sarco has infinite oxygen).

Probably the best mount for survivors below lvl 50. Super easy to tame, it's saddle is only at lvl 35 and just like turtles it's body is low enough that you can "ride" it without a saddle. Decent speed on land, best turn of any dino, relatively strong, extremely fast in water. Just beware Raptors can dismount you off a sarco (the largest creature Raptors can dismount you off of is the rock drake) and baryonyx will aggro and can stun lock when in water. Right click (or left trigger on console) is a death roll which is basically as useful as the therizinos peck, C (right stick on console) makes your 40 foot gharial lunge in the direction of which it last sspinned, attacking while looking behind you will make it spin around giving it the best turn in the game, lunge doesn't work in water, beware wild sarcos can grab you for several seconds and dismount you off some small dinos.

Favorite tame for early to mid game. Ridiculously fast in water and not too bad on land. Lvl up only health and melee damage, turn radius beats megaladons and I've killed many alpha megas this way. Very beefy and can tank hits at 3k health with mounted combat, letting you tranq anything that doesn't knock you off your mount or attack the rider directly (like the Rex or spino).

Sarco’s are really easy to take all you need are tranq arrows and meat. Also they are amazing swimmers and have great stamina and have pretty decent weight so if you want a good early game tame then I’d go with Sarco. Though they can be good late game too.
