Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
They would rather jump off a cliff than be tamed by me.
I usually build a simple fence foundation and railing pen to use for passive tames. Then I’ll just take an Argy or a Dino able to carry them and drop them into the pen. That way they cant run half way across the map.
Noted: Where There Is Equus There Is Allo , Where There Is Allo There Is Tears. Ty For Reading! ♥️
When you try to tame these guys, go up to the back and bring at least 2 stacks of mejoberries. Also if you see one near an allo just get away from it, it has a 0% chance of living. Hope this helped and thanks for having the time to read my tip
Here's how you tame an equus in ark mobile:
Step 1 : Do not mount on the equus. For some reason, the ark mobile equus don't like it. It increases taming with rockarrots like 2% and not mounted taming makes it 20% ( level 15)
Step 2 : Feed it rockarrots from a safe distance. Don't let it see you. You can approach their hind legs (dont touch them) and feed rockarrots. Otherwise it runs away.
Step 3 : If it runs away, just don't follow it, just see where it is going. If it loses aggro. It will not stare at you. Then feed it again
Step 4 : A good tip is to enable the 'Tame: Equus' pursuit so you save engrams for equus saddle and get one for free.
Follow the process for mobile and bam!! You got yourself an equus
As of 12/23/23 if you are on console trying to tame these in Ark Ascended it’s bugged. During the taming process when you get prompted to feed the button to do so on console doesn’t work it’ll just buck you or you dismount it.
Taming one of these is a pain, which is what I named mine after taming a level one hundred. Here's what you'll need:
•An Argentavis
•A passive tame pen, ideally 4x4
•Dilophosaur kibble or Rockaroot.
Depending on the level, I’d say grab a minimum of 50 and a max of 150 Rockaroots, as for kibble you should be fine with 15-20 of them.
Here's a few pointers;
•Start the tame an Equus quest on mobile.
•Find a decent leveled Equus.
•Carry it to your passive take pen and drop it in.
•Equip the taming food on your very last hotbar slot.
•Sneak up on the Equus and feed it then immediately mount.
•Once mounted feed it only when hungry.
Sooner or later you'll have one.
The benefits definitely show once obtained, they knock out most dinos with a few kicks and you can lasso the ones knocked inside of water as well. They also act as a traveling mortar and pestle so keep some spoiled meat and narcoberries on you.
My Equus was level 100, turned 149 after 99.9% efficiency taking. It took around half an hour and 100 Rockaroots over all. Hopefully this helps!
If you plan on taming one of these guys MAKE SURE you have A LOT OF CARROTS taming it with berries it takes A LONG TIME to get one with berries so once again HAVE A LOT OF CARROTS!!!!!!!
This stinking thing!!! So annoying!!! I was taming it on a cliff and I was a bit slow and it knocked me off. RIGHT INTO A SWAMP. I swear, while everything was eating me, sarcophagus, titanoboa and mega parana, I saw it laughing at me.
Never try to tame an equus with 9 rocarrots while surrounded by a spino, a rex and a therinozaur.
A pain in the backside to tame on mobile
These guys are easy to tame low level but a 150! The tame percentage drops as the horse runs do good luck ever taming a high level one. Unless! You knock it out build a box around it wait for it to wake up and the tame to your hearts content.
Best for knockouts!!! Dose lots of torpor.
1.get a argy
2.find Equus with argy
3.pick up Equus with argy
4.drop into a taming pen
5.get a buttload of rockcarrots
6.tame your Equus
Pick them up with an argy and drop them in a taming pen this will make it easier. On playstation for ASA press triangle when they start bucking to feed again. If they are not bucking pressing triangle will just dismount you.
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
