If your on mobile and can’t find one of these guys start the tame equus pursuit and walk or fly around the island and eventually a arrow will show up on the top left of your screen. If you follow that then you will find an equus or two. Upvoote if you found this helpful.

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.

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

If you are a mobile player and you want to ride tame I recommend you bring four times the amount of rockarrots that is shown. When ride taming always passive feed first then jump and ride it. The tame time was also drastically lower than what was shown if you are ride taming, it took a little less than half of the shown tame time. The equus will also eat more often if you are ride taming and with rockarrots it stays at 100% taming effectiveness. Keep in mind the spoil time for rockarrots and bring extra rockarrots incase some spoil.

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.

On Ark: Ultimate Mobile, go on Ragnarok in the HighLands and get a few Rocarrots, equus spawn there too, seek for a lvl you want and get behind him crouched(Tip: First person its easy to go, since u dont touch them) and just feed, and never, when i say NEVER mount them, they would knock u out and run away if you do that. The real tip is, just feed it when he gets hungry like a normal passive taming. Now you can run around the map in a horse with NoName, and seek for what u want.

Annother tip, hes a really good mount to help tame another creatures on early game since u can use his saddle as a mortar, just gather alot of narcoberrys with him and be happy making an good amount of narcotics.

Therizinos are very good for farming rockarrots you can get them while using the fiber attack and theres a chance you get 20 or more from one bush.

A pain in the backside to tame on mobile

1008 points   🥚 Taming & KO   May 20, 2017   Report

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.

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

They can walk up stairs.

Not sure what to do with that information...

Make sure you get these damn horses into a safe, enclosed before trying to tame them. Use an argentavis to drop them in a pen or something, because if you try to tame them in the wild they will just make a beeline for the nearest Allo or simply jump off a cliff.

Only one unicorn Equus can exist at a time in a world, so start looking!

624 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Apr 1, 2017   Report

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.
