Tips & Strategies
I found my Equus in the plains by the redwoods. (55, 25 ish). In the past few days, I’ve seen several in the southeastern rivers. Here’s some tips, orrr the entire process...
1 - Build a taming pen if you do not already have one, make sure the walls are high.
2 - Tame an Argentavis if you don’t already have one, don’t try this unless you’re a high enough level to get a saddle for it. An Argy can provide transportation, AND carry the Equus to the taming pen. If you are a lower level, spawn near one of those points up there ^^.
3 - Find the Equus. Few are located near the green obelisk, as well as the points at the top. The rivers are your best bet. Grab the Equus/Mount it. Bring your Equus to the taming pen.
4 - I suggest saving up amber for chef station and making dilo kibble, but you can use rockarrots and berries. (10 dilo kibble - lvl 1) (20+ rockarrots - lvl 1) (1000+ berries? - lvl 1)
5 - When you have food, mount the equus and feed it quickly. Continue. Equus is yours!
More Equus Taming & KO Tips
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
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.
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.
A pain in the backside to tame on mobile
Best for knockouts!!! Dose lots of torpor.
