Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Sarco in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

During my first 30 days of playing on my single player world, I was able to take 4 of these absolute beasts. We were UNSTOPPABLE. That was until an Alpha Megladon absolutely wrecked all four of them. Can I get an F for my boys

Ok most people say these big boys are for beginners but your wrong it’s the best guy for underwear mount it restores its stamina instantly under water it’s not good on land but put that puppy in the water you will love it 10/10

Once upon a time, my Sarco and I were hunting some Megalodons for fish meat, when a pack of Cnidaria stung the both of us, I tried to swim to the shore but it's too late. Mantas and Megs attacked me and my Sarco. My Sarco tried to fight back, biting his opponents. I swam…

If u see one of these go kill it or tame it they are a pain if they are on your island I have had these constantly spawn right where I live but thankfully I set up a nice spike wall along with watch towers be careful around these AND KEEP YOUR DINOS AWAY I learned my lesson…

my dodo (lvl 4 at the time, thought he was dead until i whistled my other dinos to follow me) was apparently in the direction of the sarco (lvl 5). he walked right into the sarco and i was convinced he was dead meat. until the sarco’s corpse just flew into the air. man, that…

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]

Good mount to take into rivers and even the ocean. Good for hunting fish and I've even seen it beat a megladon. But never use it to fight a Rex because if things go south it is a very slow land mount. Short and sweet it is a hunting mount

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…

TLC patch coming March 2018 adding "Deathroll" grab attack on small creatures and a grab attack (possibly thrash) on larger ones, gaining a 180 degree attack and a small lunge to its attack (maybe for deathroll purpose), will no longer aggo pirahnas and in the wild…

Electric Eels CANNOT dismount you on these!!!! GOOD TAME, when you’re on genesis to get a start in the ocean biome! (Found in big biome) Happy taming and safe travels, also.... wash your hands :)

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…

Do NOT take these into the deep ocean,Cnidaria and electric noodles WILL wreck them HARD,but use them for wrecking alpha megs to farm XP in the early game since it’s super hard the Meg AI to hit them

Hey Guys. If u have on of these travel with u, Piranha´s avoiding u, cause they flee from sarco´s. Easy tipp. No Problems anymore with Piranha´s.
