I’m on Ark Survival Evolved Mobile for reference. Putting this under “Story” because it’s a combo of taming and encountering that I’ve experienced, but maybe this will help someone!

These are a long term pain in my butt. I searched for MONTHS before I found one, happening upon it completely unprepared in a place it “wasn’t supposed to be”. Having been entirely unready to tame and also only a level 35 at the time, being the idiot I was, I attempted to tame the darn thing with berries 🤦🏼‍♀️ DON’T DO THAT. it was miserable. I spent 5 hours trying to tame this thing with berries. Finally, I’d had enough and he was headed straight for a swamp full of titanboas and sarcos so I hopped off, tranqed him, built a heavy duty pen around him, and went off to gather the necessary rockcarrots.

Taming with rockcarrots is the way to go. It took about 15 minutes and the pen ensured he couldn’t really buck me off, nor could we be attacked or eaten by anything, so that was nice.

I have been and still am searching for a female for breeding purposes now.. been another couple months. I’ve found ONE so far aside from the one I’ve got- not even sure if it was female- under the green obelisk on the plains. Sad story, I was so very irritated. Had my Allo set to aggressive so she would help clear out the predators from the area for me- which she does a fabulous job with- however, I was on my Argy and scooped the Equus up with him, intending to carry back to my base for easier taming. Well, somehow I/ my argy dropped the Equus and my Allo killed/ate it as soon as it hit the ground 😭 I haven’t seen another one since. It’s driving me insane!

But typically location wise, they are in the plains near water. 😊
