BONUS Tip! Change your settings for Ability Charging from 'Hold and Release' to 'Double Tap' >This will make it MUCH easier for you to use crushing bite with lunge
Something id like to add, ive been told that doing headshots on sleeping targets do even more damage because of the weakspots, so instead of the 2x and 4x, i was told its 4x(resting headshot) and 8x(sleeping headshot) edit: if some1 can look into this and confirm or find this false im happy either way
@@codymason1053 I was going to put in tips about headshot damage until I did some testing ~ For some reason I kept getting the SAME damage regardless if I hit the head or body. And I tested that on multiple dinos for two hours... Could be a bug or they could've removed it entirely at some point or it didn't exist in the first place. I honestly want someone else to test this out.
Great tips. Some of these I didn't know. Here's my tip: If you ambush often, make it a habit to carry something in your mouth. Typing in chat with friends or even on accident makes noise, giving away that there's a sarco to anything nearby you want to hunt, carrying something disables that and makes you silent, and is dropped automatically when you attack.
Sarco tip: When the dinosaur that you want to attack has already been made of your presence, you can feign being uninterested by acting like you’re diving in the opposite direction and then quickly doing a 180 once you’re under the surface. This works even better if you purposefully swim at the surface of the water for a few seconds instead of immediatelly diving because it reinforces your fake telegraphed intention. This has gotten me so many free kills because of the false sense of security it gives them.
Also you can win the underwater stam battle by kiting BACKWARDS around the opponent (water backward sarco sprint doesnt only prevent losing stam, but it actually regens it) Its especially effective against ducks cuz of their atrocious turn rate
This was a really good tips video. Just started growing a sarco for the first time, and these were perfect. Covered all of my questions tbh. Also showing the actual damage on the average dinos you will come across was super cool to see! Thank you for posting it!!!
I love playing my Sarco! The only complaint I have about my Sarco is that I wish they would put the ability in to be able to latch on and hold onto your prey and drag them down into the water!
Bro can you do another video like this? Sarco has had update since this video and I would love to learn more about what works best now that health is cut in half and other tips 🙏🏻
My older vid about fighting cannibals doesn't apply anymore with the new system. So I can just give some tips - until I can make a new vid against cannibals. Try to be unpredictable. I like to brake check them when they're behind me by making them follow then suddenly dropping down and swimming backwards below them. Also, use bleed if you have it - very strong against sarcos since you can force them to go to land. With the new system, we can't just swim around in circles biting like it used to be.
@@XyphtheSarcoGuy I suppose the upcoming combat update may change things again, so Ill will try out your suggestions before the update happens. Thanks for replying!
Exactly why I never let my guard down when sitting or sleeping. I try not to sit or sleep as much as possible because it makes me extremely vulnerable because of boosted damage I receive.
so is the sit/sleep ambush bonus damage exclusive to the sarco in the same way cerato has extra armor by default? or is it a general game mechanic? very informative video btw
unfortunately sarco no long has the thick or thin scale option, its either increasing swim speed or venom and bleed resistance which i havent even noticed any differences
How can I quest as a sarco? I see lots of videos showing how they get quests such as getting lake sponges but I normally get flower picking. Should I just go up and out of the water wishing for the best
You can change the binds on your controls - I’m on ps5 and the 6th (?) ability slot (which is square for me) wasn’t bound to anything else, so I used that and it made everything much easier lol.
Against other sarcos - I prefer crushing/ripping since I find it more reliable with the new water movement making fights erratic - meaning hit and run tactics became more effective than trailing behind another sarco with regular bite.
Would be cool to get the croc special move for sure but I have heard that Sarcos were not able to do this, something about the structure of their head and jaws. Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not 100% sure on this.
Hi xyph i ur polly not goint to see this comment but i need some tips for growing i got the game about 2 or 3 days ago and im dying all the time to other sarcos.
Hiya, and welcome ~ if on Gondwa map, I'd advise staying in the ocean as sarco until about sub adult before moving into the rivers. There should be plenty of quests in the sea for growth
Lmfao at #10. Everything else is all very sensible stuff, good tips and then it's just "oh yeah you can backwards long jump a sarco to travel great distances" then goes right back to the reasonable stuff like nothing happened and I'm just sat there like 🗿
Well definitely good tips but damn. I could have done without the ear flashbangs with every point. Couldn’t hear your voice very well in my headphone at the start of the video so I turnd the volume up a bit and then about blew my eardrum out with the first ding. Even without headphones on after that, each one was extremely loud compared to your speaking voice.
BONUS Tip!
Change your settings for Ability Charging from 'Hold and Release' to 'Double Tap'
>This will make it MUCH easier for you to use crushing bite with lunge
I 1000% agree, it was impossible for me to used the lunge with crushing when I had hold and release on but with double tap it’s so easy!
I learned a lot from this video

Or simply press a ability key that isn't binded to a attack to cancel the sound

Speed subspecies Sarcos are faster than the critters in the dens so you can much more easily complete those quests :)

Any chance you could update this for the new sarco? Just started growing my own little swamp puppy for the first time
honestly underrated channel this is extremely good content and editing keep it up
Whoa... I didn't know speed hide would completely gimp your defense like that, but also didn't know how incredible defense hide was.
I love this video! I didn't realize a full charged bite takes 60% of a sleeping t-rex's health! Definitely good to know lol
The music is so cute while the sarco is such a scary creature xD I love it!
Thank you for this! That diving tip is huge I've definitely blown my cover a couple of times cause of diving at the wrong time xD
It's definitely the most annoying change for me 🐊
That and having to hold precise movement key to STOP precise movement lol
Any chance for an update? Would love to see this with the current Sarco changes! 🤗
4:43:
Iguanodon's delayed reaction is hilarious!
I’ve had my eye on path of titans for while, fact you can be sarco makes me want it, thanks for tips 👍
This is the kind of testing i need
Very valuable tips for me who doesn't play Sarco all that often. :)
Oh duuuude you’ve given me such great starter tips!!
I am new and only play official, so I need to get gud quickly lol
Liked and subbed
I love playing my Sarco! The only complaint I have about my Sarco is that I wish they would put the ability in to be able to latch on and hold onto your prey and drag them down into the water!
New update just added this
Well done on this guide. Very informative!
That was very useful. Thanks dude!
This video was amazing and soooo helpful. Please please do this with other Dinosaurs too. Thanks!
Bro can you do another video like this? Sarco has had update since this video and I would love to learn more about what works best now that health is cut in half and other tips 🙏🏻
Great video. Unfortunately i had to stop using crushing bite because i play on mobile and it's not easy to hit. I had to use normal and ripping bite.
This is such a good video omg
Immensely out of date for anyone looking here for tips. Sarco is an entirely different beast now
Thank you for making it bro
Thanks bro this means alot
Definitely gonna be using these when I play sarco lmao
Hey great content!Can we have an updated Sarco tips and tricks video?
This was very useful
Hey Xyph, nice video, but do you have a video with tips on how to fight other Sarcos in the water?
My older vid about fighting cannibals doesn't apply anymore with the new system.
So I can just give some tips - until I can make a new vid against cannibals.
Try to be unpredictable. I like to brake check them when they're behind me by making them follow then suddenly dropping down and swimming backwards below them. Also, use bleed if you have it - very strong against sarcos since you can force them to go to land.

@@XyphtheSarcoGuy I suppose the upcoming combat update may change things again, so Ill will try out your suggestions before the update happens. Thanks for replying!
Bonus Tip : for the new update make sure you are the one who gets first bite as it is better sense ambush and if u dont u wil lose the ambush dmg buff
Exactly why I never let my guard down when sitting or sleeping. I try not to sit or sleep as much as possible because it makes me extremely vulnerable because of boosted damage I receive.
Another tip, try to make tight turns when fighting other sarcos, this will cause them to miss attacks, and you will be able to land one yourself
so is the sit/sleep ambush bonus damage exclusive to the sarco in the same way cerato has extra armor by default? or is it a general game mechanic? very informative video btw
It's a general game mechanic ~
U are a great teacher
Can you do this for other dinosaurs too?
AMAZING video. Can u make another one with the sarco update?
Don't even have the game yet but I know me and the kiddos are going to love playing Sarco. My wife might even join in the game play.
Hellll yeah bro
Tip every sarco would recomend: sleep near water with ur dino totally safe
1:19 what did u say about thick hide percentage sorry couldn’t understand 😅
50% increase to defense for sarco when using thick scales. Whereas other playables only get around 30% since the nerf
are u going to one of this for the new updated sarco?
They need to revert the sarco changes. There's no reason why they got hit so hard with nerfs.
It would be so awesome if wind up attacks wouldn’t make noises ,then I wouldn’t alert players whenever I use it
Then there will be no way to avoid sarco ambushing :/
amazing tnx
So are you going to make a new tips video because of the night stalker update
I feel like depends on what server your on because depending on how much the owner has changed the stats.. some of these may be inaccurate
The tests shown were done on my vanilla server with no altered stats :)
But yea ~ for other servers it might play out differently
unfortunately sarco no long has the thick or thin scale option, its either increasing swim speed or venom and bleed resistance which i havent even noticed any differences
Oh damn I never knew about the sleeping thing, does that work as everything like that?
Yea
we need some sarc vs deino pvp, tired of dying to them just because they do so much normal bite damage
How are you guys landing these charge bites? I can hear those things a mile away and have never gotten hit by them
What’s your favorite build?
Speed sub - Thick scales - Crushing Bite + Ripping Bite
How can I quest as a sarco? I see lots of videos showing how they get quests such as getting lake sponges but I normally get flower picking. Should I just go up and out of the water wishing for the best
Hate crocs but love ur Channel
Are you to redo this after the recent updates?
How can I use have 2 bites and a lunge ability on console?
You can change the binds on your controls - I’m on ps5 and the 6th (?) ability slot (which is square for me) wasn’t bound to anything else, so I used that and it made everything much easier lol.
@@honestlymockingbird1351 yeah but when I do that it doesn’t seem to work and I’m on ps4
@@jurassic_hobbyonmyaltaccou3878 on xbox you have to hold LB to access your other moves. On playstation I would guess its L1 to do the same
I'm curious, for fighting other sarcos specifically, would a crushing bite/normal bite be better than crushing/ripping? Im curious your opinion 😊
Against other sarcos - I prefer crushing/ripping since I find it more reliable with the new water movement making fights erratic - meaning hit and run tactics became more effective than trailing behind another sarco with regular bite.
@Xyph the Sarco Guy makes sense, thank you for the info!!
Great tips! But I have a question, would you recommend speed sarco? Because I’m wanting to play it.
I would ~ Great for escaping other semi-aquatics and for aggressive playstyles. It's my preferred sub.
I just grow a speed sarco bro is it good? Im playing in mobile i just grow it to adult in just 2 days btw i subbed you
I always go speed sarco 🐊
Has the sarcos states changed much in 7 mouths I'm looking at getting this game if it's still good
They need to add a death roll ability
Would be cool to get the croc special move for sure but I have heard that Sarcos were not able to do this, something about the structure of their head and jaws.
Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not 100% sure on this.
this need to be updated XD sarco is about 400 hp now and has a 4 sec cooldown after charge bite or ripping bite T.T
Are the sub species for other dinosaurs/creatures the same. Well I mean in terms of balance, speed, and defense? Like the percentage is the same?
Last I checked yep, it's the same percentage difference between subs.
if you use crushing bite then normal bite on a giga as sarc u kill it
atleast on islander semi realism
Should be Xyph the Deinosuchus Guy 🗿
I try to play sarco again but i just dislike the slow speed and i like the chase
I can't load out normal bite and bleeding bite at the same time. The game makes me choose one or the other.
Sarco is best
Hi xyph i ur polly not goint to see this comment but i need some tips for growing i got the game about 2 or 3 days ago and im dying all the time to other sarcos.
Hiya, and welcome ~ if on Gondwa map, I'd advise staying in the ocean as sarco until about sub adult before moving into the rivers. There should be plenty of quests in the sea for growth
Ohhh somebody gonna get eat tonight
uhm so i have a sarco near adult almost done and why does she have all the male skins even tho my sarco is a female? i checked it says female
in my own opinion, don't use charged bite for ambushes, you want to stay hidden and the charged bite gives you away
Depends on how close you are and how much noise is in the area
I’m having trouble growing it’s taking forever anyone have any good spots to rotate
Can someone help me grow my sarco
Do update video? Hide and stuff has all changed
How to ambush:
Kill fish
Drop fish close to hotspot shore
Wait in water
Dino come to eat fish
Kill dino
Eat fish + Recycle dino
Good to know pc players have an advantage against console.
Lmfao at #10. Everything else is all very sensible stuff, good tips and then it's just "oh yeah you can backwards long jump a sarco to travel great distances" then goes right back to the reasonable stuff like nothing happened and I'm just sat there like 🗿
Sarco does WAY to much damage imo
Tf you mean Lmaoooooo
Well definitely good tips but damn. I could have done without the ear flashbangs with every point. Couldn’t hear your voice very well in my headphone at the start of the video so I turnd the volume up a bit and then about blew my eardrum out with the first ding. Even without headphones on after that, each one was extremely loud compared to your speaking voice.
Has all these tips and tricks. *me rolling up being a giga chicken*
