I HATE PASSIVE TAMING 😡😡😠😠😠😠
These guys are good for tame trips
How to tame: Equus: ARK Mobile Edition!
Prep: 2x2x2 trap (why 2 high? Just in case :)) (4 foundations, 16 doors) of any material, these don't fight back and flee instead, Rockarrots, I'd suggest bringing a WHOLE LOT (50-75) because you'll see in a minute. And you'll also need a tame that can pick up the horsey (oh and Time too, lots of Time)
Find: there's no real place from where I've found but they live by the shallow jungle and near the bases of mountains (or you can do Tame: Equus) and after you found it pick it up with argy and drop in trap
Tame: I don't remember you needing ghillie but just crouch behind and feed, normally when you start riding it will run around crazily most likely Into danger like an Allo (that's why the trap is required) or off a cliff but after a lil while I'll do a QuickTime event that needs you to feed a rockarrot before it bucks you off, rising the taming effectiveness very little (like 1-2%) so rinse and repeat until tamed
Have fun with your brand new Horsey! Just don't make it be a battle mount... trust me...
RIP: h o n s e . - level 27
For early game, just find a low level (only up to 25) and if you have a high taming rate it should only tame 10 or so mejoberries
How to Tame effectively and with less rockcarrots and time.
1. Trap the Horse (Fence, Room, etc.)
2. Try to mount, when prompted by the game to feed it, wait for 2 secs then feed (Gives more Taming progress than stalking fashion taming)
3. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNMOUNT EVERYTIME YOU SUCCESSFULLY FED IT.
4.wait for it to be hungry again.
And repeat step 2 to 3.
Just mount it then feed when it's hungry, then unmount after feeding, and let it roam the room or enclosure til it gets hungry.
Proven in Mobile.
Tamed a lvl 18 in no time.
P.S. you don't have to build a dino gate, just trap yourself with the horse inside. Just Destroy the walls after the process.
Always use an Argy to drop into a 4x4 stone doorframe pen for taming. Then wear ghillie suit and crouch to passively tame without agro. Crops are best and dont forget to start with soothing balm.
Guys when you’re trying to knock out another creature with the equus kick, use your spyglass and do the alternate attack and you will be able to hit the creature multiple times in 2 seconds. It’s an incredibly useful trick and even I didn’t think it would work once I had the idea but I tested it on a parasaur and it worked! So try using this trick next time you run out of tranq arrows and have to use equus tip.
P.S. I don’t hv pc or console so plz know that it probably only works on mobile.
So, I found 2 ovis while looking for one of these. I don't think ark will except my dreams of horse riding. And the ovis weren't even a breeding pair.
***TAMING*** on mobile
After taming 3 of these guys and chasing them all across the map and 2 accidentally getting eating this is what you do, tame an argy, find an equus. Once you have the equus you want hover over the horse while on your argy and swipe up on the left side and boom you’ve picked up your equus. Before hand, make sure your Argys stamina is up as well as his speed so your argy can carry the equus to your base. At your base MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A 3X3 PEN THAT IS STONE WITH WINDOWS. so you can feed the equus without getting close close. And each carrot gives the equus about 5% so do the math 50 carrots to be safe. Enjoy. Up this if this helped you.
I fricken hate playing this game sometimes. Okay so as some of you guys know on ark you can do these things called daily pursuits where you do a pursuit that is assigned that day and you basically do it daily like a streak and on mobile you get amber as a reward and the amount of amber goes up the longer you keep that in a row, right? Okay so I’m on my 14th day I believe and the daily pursuit of today was extremely easy🙃 or so I thought , the pursuit was to take a photo of a wild equus and so I go out flying around looking for an Equus to take a photo of and I searched the ENTIRE map (specifically their spawning location) I was obsessed with Equus’ like a month ago so I memorized their spawning location and have encountered them like yesterday and the day before but on the day I need them ARK DECIDED TO DESPAWN THEM FOR THE ENTIRE FRICKEN DAY AND NOW I LOSE MY PROGRESS BECAUSE ARK MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTINUE THEY DO THIS BS ON PURPOSE I SWEAR. Also keep in mind when I went to their spawning locations it was empty, hardly any dinos to take up spawning points so I blame ark and ark alone on why I my daily pursuits had to restart. Now restarting the daily pursuit isn’t bad nor hard to do the only thing that makes me mad is because ark did that on purpose. And I understand Equus are kinda Rare they aren’t even suppose to be close to the unicorn bruh.
If you back kick something, boom ko'd
I think they are all around the Map but not at swamps or somewhere there us predators ans in plains.
URGENT NOTE FOR SWITCH PLAYERS!!! As you tame your horse and are trying to tame it, remember that the dismount button AND the use button are BOTH mapped to the X button! When the equus is attempting to buck you off, only press the X button ONCE, any more will result in you voluntarily dismounting the horse! (It took me two days to figure this out and at least 5 dead horses ;-; )
Tame a scropion animals are not aggro on mobile toward you if you attack them or are riding by, but I would still try to steer clear of the bigger carnivores. You might as well get the lowest lev one since it doesn’t make a difference since theses things have unlimited stamina and then about 30 carrots, I tamed mine on level 1, and the quest gives you a saddle for free, so don’t get the enagram.-snail lover
Use track darts or get carrots and then trap them and then u can tame them also be sure you find one before getting carrots the carrots will decompose*up if this helps*
I got my first one at level 68. They always bucked me off even if I fed them dilo kibble and ran away so I trapped one in my work in progress creature pen and he could not run away! Now I have a equus and I named him “Took Too Long”
If you want to sneak up on it without spooking it then crouch as you approach it
