Tips & Strategies
Hey everyone, I am going to tell you how I tamed a low level equus (lvl 11) on MOBILE
The first thing that I did was to gather some rockarotts collect at least 20!!! An easy way to collect rockarotts is to make a medium crop plot. ( it will give you a few hundred rockarotts if u keep it healthy). The second thing I did was to not click the quest “tame equus” because it will make the surroundings a lot harder to get to the equus. (I found my equus in the red woods). I know some of you are afraid to go into the red woods because of terror birds etc,.. but bring a flying mount (like a pteranodon) but fly it and when u find the equus, tell it to follow you. Make sure that your flying mount is strong; so when u feed the equus a rockarott and get on its back it can protect you if some carnivore comes along. While your on the equus, feed it rockarotts when it gets hungry. Lastly, go to your home on your flying mount and teleport the equus to you. If u don’t know how to do this here is how : go to the place where you want to teleport your animal then go to YOUR inventory and there should be a a tab that says “tames(and your number of tames)” click that button and it should show all of your tames. Next wait for the animal to spawn (it should take 1-2 minutes so be calm if it doesn’t come right away)
Then when you spawn you equus at your home click the quest “tame equus” then u should get a free equus saddle!
Congratulations you have an equus!!! 😁🐴 have an awesome day you guys!! Good luck
More Equus Taming & KO Tips
They would rather jump off a cliff than be tamed by me.
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
If you plan on taming one of these guys MAKE SURE you have A LOT OF CARROTS taming it with berries it takes A LONG TIME to get one with berries so once again HAVE A LOT OF CARROTS!!!!!!!
As of 12/23/23 if you are on console trying to tame these in Ark Ascended it’s bugged. During the taming process when you get prompted to feed the button to do so on console doesn’t work it’ll just buck you or you dismount it.
Taming one of these is a pain, which is what I named mine after taming a level one hundred. Here's what you'll need:
•An Argentavis
•A passive tame pen, ideally 4x4
•Dilophosaur kibble or Rockaroot.
Depending on the level, I’d say grab a minimum of 50 and a max of 150 Rockaroots, as for kibble you should be fine with 15-20 of them.
Here's a few pointers;
•Start the tame an Equus quest on mobile.
•Find a decent leveled Equus.
•Carry it to your passive take pen and drop it in.
•Equip the taming food on your very last hotbar slot.
•Sneak up on the Equus and feed it then immediately mount.
•Once mounted feed it only when hungry.
Sooner or later you'll have one.
The benefits definitely show once obtained, they knock out most dinos with a few kicks and you can lasso the ones knocked inside of water as well. They also act as a traveling mortar and pestle so keep some spoiled meat and narcoberries on you.
My Equus was level 100, turned 149 after 99.9% efficiency taking. It took around half an hour and 100 Rockaroots over all. Hopefully this helps!
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.
