Tame a small pack of high level sarcos, take them into the ocean and watch them rip through everything! They are fast and deadly in water

My level 37 sarco can kill brontos and spinos easy, really fast in water too. Try tranq arrows while backing away from it to tame.

The sarco once tamed all the megaparannas will not attack you if you bring it with you!

Who agrees that these things deserve to be buffed? On mobile, sarcos have trouble killing just about anything in their habitat. When they try to kill small animals such as dodos and lystros, their bad AI combined with their weird AOE means that they can’t even hit a dodo and they will get stuck on top of the dodo trying to hit it while the dodo just chills below its massive body. If you thought dodos were sitting ducks, a sarco attacking a dodo is just a big sitting duck on top of a small sitting duck 😂. For passive creatures such as phiomias, parasaurs, and moschops, sarcos have trouble catching up to them on land. For other river herbivores such as Castoroides (beaver) or carbonemys (turtle), sarcos almost always end up getting rekt trying to fight them. Their base hp and melee are both similar to that of the beaver, and while their melee is much higher than the turtle’s, their hp is much lower. Sarcos are probably the least dangerous mid/large predator to fight.

This is a MUST have. This guy isn’t that hard to tame at all and is a really good Dino for early game underwater taming, and gathering resources in rivers with lots of piranhas as they don’t agro to you when you are mounted.

They force piranha to run to the shores when in rivers and water inlets, giving you an easier time at taming those otters for artifact gathering.

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

After the TLC update they can fit through dino gates and you can now stand on a tamed one's back.

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

PROS

CONS

-Spawn in swamps, a Dangerous place

-Do spawn outside of swamps, BUT IS HARD TO FIND THEM

-

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!

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).

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.
