FOR CONSOLE ASA PLAYERS:
You need a keyboard for this now. You have to press E when it needs feeding on the keyboard as Y on the controller kicks you off.
Also, fun fact. Untamed Carchas as way faster than taming Equus.
Saw this in a different comment but it didn’t get voted enough for most people to see.
You don't need to see were it went just get rockarrots and feed then ride keep feeding
And boom got yourself an equus.up so beginners can see
A lot of these tips are incomplete so I’d like to offer the more complete help that I could not find here:
When taming an equus, have your carrots ready in your last hotbar slot. Sneak up behind, stand still and feed the equus, immediately hop on!!
Keep an eye on the bottom right hand corner of your screen and feed the equus when prompted in your effect statuses(on pc it’s E to feed). You HAVE to stay on the equus, because everytime you hop off you’ll lose gaming effectiveness. So pay attention to not tap E until the feeding prompt comes up or you’ll hop off and mess up the tame. Just keep feeding while riding until it tames, and viola you have a perfect 100% Equus tame!! (Spamming is your enemy, this tame takes a little concentration. Happy riding friends!) I recommend using a pen so you don’t have to chase the horse across the plains.
If hard to find on The Island, a herd seem to spawn near the red obelisk, green obelisk and the black sand area off the river next to the redwoods, I killed a bunch of low levels for some easy pelt and I came back after 10-15 minutes, after I found a 145 Equus. Hopefully you found this helpful.
Been through scorched earth on a equus with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain. Cause in SE you can remember your name, cause there ain't no one for to give ya no pain. After 9 days I let the equus run free cause the desert had turned to sea. There were plants and birds and rocks and things, there was sand and hills and rings.
CONSOLE: Need a Keyboard in order to tame! Whenever prompted to feed click “E” to feed.
When Equus hunting, ALWAYS go to the southern haven. Since there aren't any predators there, you have nothing to worry about. While you're there, it's great for metal runs. And if the Equus there are too low leveled, simply kill them, leave, wait for more to spawn, and hope for a higher level.
Step 1: ride it
Step 2: feed it rockcarrot when it try’s to buck you of
Step 3:DONT DISMOUNT DONT LET IT BUCK YOU OF
Step 4:DONT LET A DINOSAUR HIT IT
Step 5:when tamed take it to safety
Extra tip:if you want more copy the steps
When you riding it just let a friend feed him,it works 👍🏻
These things are a must have for every level!!! I know everyone says this about everything but I mean it. I cannot stress about how good they are. They are great at knock outs with their back attack and can easily knock out a carno before it can really deal damage. But you do need a lot of carrots, but it’s worth it. Keep in mind that if you tap the carrots when it isn’t hungry it will dismount you and run away and you will lose taming progress. Make sure the area is clear because it when you are mounted it doesn’t do anything if it is attacked and just dies.
I hope this helped!
Anyone else not able to stay on them on Xbox. Kicks me off everytime I’ve tried multiple different horses
They are in game and are a passive tame! To tame, use a rockarrot or Troodon kibble, put it in the last slot in your hot bar and feed it. Once fed, press 'e' to ride. At this point it will either try to buck you off or it'll run around. If it tries to buck you off, press 'e' again. Keep doing this process every time it tries to buck you off.
Equus' can be ridden with or without a saddle! Happy taming c: ❤
Don't try to tame these with mejoberries, I swear this took longer than an entire d&d session.
Apparently you press the same button to mount/dismount as you do to feed these things, so instead of feeding it, you get dismounted now. Big bummer because I found a Unicorn and I can't tame it... I'm going to check YouTube to see if anybody has tamed this thing yet...
Tbh, when I find one it kills it self
