What are tips for equus? Tips and strategies for equus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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 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.
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
Encountered a unicorn on herbivore island ounce be wary though will run in water and most likely die by megaladons
I just tamed this beast on mobile it is awesome! Her name is Jacky and has been really good to me because this thing has really good stamina and it can knock stuff out and even climb rocks that the player couldn’t and it can even harvest berry’s (very good narcotic harvester)! I would recommend taming one of these in the early stage of your world
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 ;-; )
Was kinda easy I built a pen (4 foundation + 8 door frames)
Used my argy to pick it up n dropped in pen I used rockcarrot in tame slot and boom I had one
Up for other to see
Not a tip but could someone tell me where they spawn. I recently lost all my progress (lvl 80)
When taming do not dismount for any reason on ark mobile. I accidentally tapped dismount when taming my second equus and the taming affectedness dropped from 100% to 80%. Also was using rock carrots.
So on mobile go to herbivore island there should be a way to get too the normal part of the map by a indent on the land, there is a swamp beside it and you will find 3-6 equus and also I would bring 30 rockcaroots for a level 4 equus because it is actually pretty hard and they spoil easily
Get some carrots. Ride it. Then tame it.
They're all over the white cliffs biome in valguero just be careful of allos when searching for one.
Found a Unicorn between grass and ice biomie Soothing Balm it and Tamed with Griff kibble
Pick it with an argy or anything bigger (yes argies can pick them up even though it says they cant) drop it in a taming pin and then mount it. Alot easier then running crazy
I saw a unicorn once next to my base and 3 raptors hanged up on he poor thing damn raptors
Before you tame one of these you should get crops or carrots so you’re ready to tame it and so that you can get it on the first try
