Tips & Strategies

What are tips for equus? Tips and strategies for equus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
My Equus was a pain but I got it by my argentavis
I literally kill every single equus in rage after trying to tame one.
1. Build a 4 by 4 wooden wall or stronger (not thatch)
2. use a arventavis to pick up a equus
3. put equus in the pen or chamber what ever you want to call it
4. then just equip rockarrots
5. then do the rest
For mobile players I found it easy to just pick these up with an argy drop it off at a safe location or a built trap and go from there. (They will run off when dropped with argy be aware where you are they like going into the water)
Use him to drag unconsious or consious players, and creatures smaller than the horse, with the lasso, use it only as a travel tame with the addition of its mortar and pestle on its saddle, if you want add points on Melee damage for more torpor with the kick attack, spend points on weight, health and movement speed, -stam is pretty easy to regain, use rockaroots to tame press green triangle, Y, or E depending on the plataform once it starts going crazy while riding it.
I'd say building the pen is best bet but why these gotta be so hard?Also how do you feed it while riding?
They like to die a lot. Don't feel bad if they died by a carno or spino. They live life on the edge.
u might find one at redwoods
if you dont see one you can just kill other dinos so one can spawn
Lazy Equus have a power rating (Power of KO and Speed) closer to 1. Whereas Swift Equus have a power rating closer to 3. You can find them using the pursuit or looking on the right side of the map (yes the whole side of it). They are only difficult to find sometimes because they run when attacked.
Just tamed a 290 with 100% effectiveness. It wasn't actually hard this time since I've learned how it behaves when I tamed a 40. I'm on mobile, so just keep your finger over where the rockcarrot is in your hotbar. When it's hungry a pop up will come exactly where something has spoiled pop up comes. Let it come every 40 seconds or so and tap on it once instantly. Yeah it could be a tedious process to keep the focus.
I'd suggest using a soothing balm to shorten the time and use your argy to bring it some place safe where you'll tame it and wear a ghilie to get close to it.
Please let others see. It's actually very easy to tame a higher level one without losing any effectiveness.
I know the pursuit says get 5 carrots, but you need lot’s more.
Make sure that you do not have your spyglass in your hand when hopping on the Equus. If you do, it will make you auto-look through it and you won't be able to put it away. You won't be able to see the feed prompt and will be kicked off. This just happened to me on a 150 Day is during x2 -_-
Everything you need-
* crops (you can use berries but it only makes the tame bar go up 1%)
*patience
* no weight
...
When wanting to tame you have to find one, you can trap it into a place next to your house but when trying to tame you got to put your taming food to the last slot and crouch and go behind it, if on xbox press Y to feed and ride, if on computer press E to feed and ride and I believe you just press feed and ride for ark mobile.
When riding press Y to feed it, BUT only feed it when it's trying to kick you off otherwise it'll make you get off of it and the equus will run away, so feed it when it's mad, and just stay on it until it's tame bar goes up.
As far as I know the best maps to tame is lost Island but mostly Genesis pt 2.
On the ps4 you have to hold down triangle win it tells you to in the bottom right side hopefully this helps
These guys are pretty annoying to tame but if using rockcarrot they are pretty much as good as your. P.S. get a farm early on and get you one of these NOW
Don’t use berries use carrots it’s way faster
You want to go to the sw island a go with to tame it be careful there are a lot of things to kill u I don’t think they want us to find it
Would really recommend using the carrots! It tames it much faster and oof i have lost about 6 unicorns because i got kick off and it ran away then died, dont be like me and just get it over with lol
To tame them just crouch and walk towards it. Make sure that before hand you have about 100-150 method berries if you want to go simple like me. Put the mejo berries in your last slot and then press feed. Right after you feed it press ride and then press the button to ride again. It will feed it another Berry and let it run around with u on its back. After a while it will try to buck u off. Simply press the ride button again and it will feed it. Just keep doing that until it is tames. I play PC and so it might not work on mobile. -CyberOwl6
