Tips & Strategies
When taming the equus on Xbox One, when it says to use the E button, you must press Y for it to feed when it bucks.
I had a hard time with this
Only one unicorn Equus can exist at a time in a world, so start looking!
It’s simple how u tame em’
1.Make a house for taming passive tamers
2.Find one
3.feed it rock carrots
4.ride it ti’ll it loves you (after it knocks you out 5 million times)
5. Ride it into the sunset
Feed it then mount. You won't be able to control it until the tame is done, dismounting appears to lower taming effectiveness so make sure you have a good supply of carrots (preferred food) on you. When it starts to buck you off you have to hit enter to feed it again. If you pay attention to the bottom left corner of your screen there will be a tool tip that will pop up when you can feed it abs just before it starts bucking.
Good luck and good hunting.
You can feed it then use a bola (which doesn’t lower effectiveness) and after that use fence foundations and walls to keep it in place and ride it for the duration of the tame. No need for it to run around randomly.
I had my turtle and moschops following me and they got it stuck on a rock between them holding it hostage while I tamed it, overall it didn’t run into anything dangerous cuz it couldn’t move. Then I named it Pony and it was eaten 10minutes later by a 145 carno. Rip
The tame equus mission (on ark mobile) is a scam!!
It says to collect 5 rockarrot but it's barely enough to tame a equus
So carry atleast 50 rockarrots
Whoever said mobiles pursuit was a fraud. It pretty much is, on mobile I think the taming is bugged because the first rockaroot gives about 25 taming, BUT THE NEXT ONES ONLY FILL 5-7% taming. The pursuit claims you need 5, but I ended up using around 30. I would highly recommend taming a trike to harvest a booty load of rockaroots in the jungle, that's what I did. Also don't learn the saddle engram if you do the pursuit because the quest rewards you with a journeyman saddle. Thank you and I hope this was helpful, also thank you to whoever said equus taming was bugged as a warning it really helped
Don't Listen to people who say that they are waste of time. If are probably used they will be the best early game dino ever and in taming you just have to complete hunt Megapirana task and you will get a 10X smoothing balm and then gather 8 to 10 bushes and you will get 2 carrots then just go and tame it.
BEST THINGS ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY DO A CONTINUOUS TORPOR DAMAGE WITH THEIR KICK NOT LIKE OTHER CREATURES LIKE PACHY AND SCORPION. AND YOU AND EASILY MAKE NARCOTICS IN THEM SO THEY ARE VERY GOOD FOR TAMING.
BTW THIS IS MY FIRST TIP.
Bola it, make a 1x1 square around it with fence foundations and then place doorframes around the horse. Walk up, feed a carrot, and tame without having to run straight into the mouth of an Allosaur. You’re welcome. :)
Put this higher !!So if you play mobile I found 3 in the same spot okay so first do the volcano pursuit the one where it's the cave inside the pursuit should be south of the equator and in that general area if you look around you'll find them
Since I haven’t seen anyone say this, equus have six ‘classes’ based off of their power on mobile. If it’s power is 1.99 or less its in the lazy ‘class’, if it’s power is 2-3.09 it’s in the ‘normal’ class and will not have a special name when born, if it’s power is 3.10-4.50 it’s in the ‘swift’ class, if it’s power is 4.51-6.64 it’s in the ‘maiden’ class, if it’s power is 6.65-13.32 it’s in the ‘racing’ class, and finally, if it’s power is 13.33 above it’s in the ‘thoroughbred’ role. This is a good way to get a guess on a babies power when it’s born.
If your looking for these guys, I don't know if it's a guaranteed spawn but if you look around the rivers around the green obelisk, they seem to spawn to up to groups of three. I've tamed two from that same area, but be careful. That area has rexes, carnos, spinos, and allos, so bring something that can kill them. If you can't find any equus, just clear out the area. Also not about equus, but ovis can spawn here as well. I found two of them here in the jungle...
