Tips & Strategies
If a sarco is near your spawn you can respawn over and over again to knock it out and have some time to kill dinos and gather meat (you can sprint at it's tail and keep attacking it)
They can swim fast enough to keep up with the raft. I build the back of my raft with stone foundations and walls for this reason.
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 back to the shore, and... My Sarco never came back. His dead corpse was a feast for Mantas and Megalodons. I hold my fists, my mind thirst for revenge. Rifle in hand, I swam back, shooting every Megalodon and Mantas I see. It was a bloodbath, bodies of Megalodon and Mantas floating in the ocean. I avenged his death… My Sarco…
Rain pours down to the land. He left his beloved wife and son.
One like = One Sarco lives.
I just shot it with tranq arrows and shoved meat inside of it 🤨, then it tamed, easy tame.
PS JB I made a tip on Stego also!
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 already when it took down my first Dino my otter called cuddles.... please click up to pay respects.....
As I was body guarding my mate who was building a trap for a baryonx in a fairly dangerous area with my trusty sarco named Lamin I decided it was a good idea to make some bolas cuz we had just got jumped by a pack of raptors and we used all of our bolas so as I’m collecting the last of the fiber I get jumped by 1 troodon who was able to knock me out but lamin jumped into action and saved the day my takeaway is to always keep a pet sarco near you at all times.
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 melee. Get one trapped (which is very easy), build a trap, or simply walk backwards or hover on a flying mount. The dangers of taming a Sarco is, of course, it’s powerful jaws and tendency to leap out of nowhere. You have to watch out for the other creatures as well. Especially the jumpy saber Sarco. Once nocked feed it RAW FISH meat as it take almost 5x less to tame then reg meat. Once you have this guy craft a saddle and ride this terrifying beast! On another note, to kill a Sarco, simply shoot it or bombard it. They are really bad when attacked by multiple strong targets so use that to ur advantage. Hope this was helpful! 100 ^ for more!

I killed one with my fist all you need to do is get to its hind legs or tail and stay there since it’s so long it won’t reach you also a good way to knock one out when use it a club that’s how I killed and tamed my first Sarco
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]
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 dodo was a trooper
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 have never been easier to get. Taming things is easier with these too, as you can use weapons on their back. Can also get around the map very quickly if you follow the shorelines or rivers. Great for swimming to the snow area and getting polymer. Just a great tame 10/10 5 Stars
How to tame a sarco for beginners
Step one: find a place where they spawn in single amounts but uncommonly (I prefer the hidden lake and some bodies of water near the red obelisk since I don't go there very often, giving time for them to spawn, but they can spawn near the south island with the large arch)
Step two: make them waste their "stamina" (in reality its their food) in water
-There is a chance that if you stand still in the water, it will just circle around you and not be able to attack you
-Their health will start to drain if they are starved too much
Step three: knockout
-You can circle around the sarco if you have decent movement speed, going behind its back leg and repeatedly hitting it with a club
-This may take a couple of tries since they now have a lunge mechanic and you may run out of stamina
Step four: taming
-You can grab a few stacks of raw meat and watch as it gets tamed in under a minute
These mean Crocodiles killed my first tame pet! I alredy got revenge now. I had killed 4 of these.
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 struggle just entering the cave with how wide they are. But don’t listen to that guy. Just summon it out in the “Request Creature” tab and wait for it to teleport (I have summoned creatures out of the cave when they get stuck and they teleport just fine). Share this with anyone you know who struggles with that.
I killed many sarcos with my carbonemys team. 1 ever invaded my home.
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 didn’t mean to, so that’s where I got mine)
3. Get on a high rock or get it stuck and shoot it, shoot it, shoot it
4. Watch it’s corpse fall
5. Put meat/kibble in inventory (I suggest raw prime meat)
6. Wait and kill some more things
7. Name him/her sarco I (the first)
8. Don’t make him/her kill dimorphodons (Sarco I almost died)
9. Make a saddle for your sarco (a saddle for your sarco)
10. Swim and play everyday
Listen to the tips. They may just save your life.
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
