Utility Tips

What is a sarco used for? sarco utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Suuuuuper underrated. Sarcos are hella fast in the water (the fastest out of any semiaquatic mount iirc) and they do decent damage. If you pump health and melee for a while you’ll have the perfect oceanic mount, since they already have decent stamina. I honestly prefer them over Baryonyx for water at this point.
This thing is probably the best possible animal you can have for water. The stamina regenerates instantly in the water and are super fast. They are lean mean fighting machines. It is actually really easy to tame as long as you are in a high spot and have tranq arrows and a crap ton of meat. I think that the only down side is that for some reason the food always goes down really fast, so always have a lot of meat in your sarco. I named mine Stanley.
A tip for newish-players: My Sarco is still only a level twenty-something, by even by level 7, she was killing Titanoboas and kiting megalodons with ease. I can't recommend the Sarco enough as a swamp hunting mount-- and as I said before, ESPECIALLY for Titanoboas. You'll have leather coming in by the hundreds. Just be careful that you go at them head-on, and that you don't take on more than a few beasties at a time. Be especially wary of the Kapro. They'll knock you flat and leave you vulnerable to whatever horrors are crouching in the shadows. Have a pike on hand for those pesky bugs that your Sarco can't reach. And beware, dear reader, the frumious Baryonyx, with jaws that bite and claws that catch. They have a penchant of attacking from the side, making it quite a hastle to get back at them. (At least, from my experiences.) Want to take on other Sarcos with your Sarco? Have no fear. Just get your melee damage up a little bit, and you should be fine.
But as always, tread carefully.
