Tips & Strategies

What are tips for equus? Tips and strategies for equus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
early game (atlease lvl 15 to 30) sneak behind equus then mount it (even without a saddle) make sure that you have a rock carrots (atlease 40 of it) on your hot bar, every time equus try to rock you out to get off of its back feed it with rock carrot to keep it calm.
They are easy to tame at the Ragnarok highlands. As they can farm large amount of berries, can craft narcos in their inventory, can shot while riding it and have a strong topor-attack they are great taming assists. A saddled one with 2k+ hp, 2500+ sta and 500%+ dmg unskilled/born stats can easy knock out high rexes and other stuff. If the target run away you can easy follow and shot more tranqs. They have a high hp-regen and with full imprint they can get 314% speed. That is like a wyver fly and enough to run away even from alpha rex. If you cant tame a wild, maybe another player tried and failed. You need to knock it out to reset a failed taming.
Great traveling and KO’ing tame!
Things to note before taming:
-they spawn by creatures that will attack them, so pick them up quickly!
-they come in variations, some black and white, others orange and brown
-you can find them alone or with a second buddy equus
Here’s how to tame:
Fly near the green obelisk to find some. Check near the swamp too. If you can’t find any, do the destroywilddinos command. Once you find one, pick it up instantly with you flyer. You won’t want to tame it here. Be careful about checking level of one and picking up other to check it’s level, because they will die quickly to terror birds and baryonyxs.
There are two ways to do this- cage or free
Cage: set it in a trap, 2 by 2, preferably stone in case a large creature is near. Make a ramp on the side. Now fly away until you can’t see the trap. Then go back. The squid has forgotten all about you. Slowly go up the ramp. When its butt is facing you, slowly jump down and feed it berries. Then hop on! Feed it whenever the game says and you shall have an equus.
Free:
Go to an open area. Simply set it down, fly away from it, sneak up behind it (not with flyer, on foot) and feed it then hop on. It will run around, so there is more of a chance that it will run to a dilo or something dangerous. Then feed when games says to and enjoy your pony!
I suggest using a cage. Make sure to kill anything dangerous around it, especially if you will tame it freely. These guys are good for taming compys. They are fast, tough mounts and nice steeds. They go well with hyenaedons too.
I would rather tame iguanodon with unlimited stamina than this horse it needs to upgrade all of its stats and iguanodon needs to upgrade only speed
The equus is harder to rane then you think. *Oh a passive tame. That will be easy* but sadly no. They always spawn with a lot of carnivores. Raptors, terror birds, carnos, sometimes rex to. Clear out the area first. Kil of any carnivores. The equus do run around all over the place. Longer then you would expect. And in worst case a few carnivores spawn in while your riding it to tame it.
It took me 14 carrots to tame a level 5 😭😭😭
This dumb thing killed me, make it to where you have a lot of health. When I tried to tame him it sucked.
These guys are hella hard to tame, it’s taming process is constantly changing and even a lv30 for me, is hard to tame
I found several chilling by the river past the redwood forest in hopes of taming an otter, you're welcome ;)
The only way to be able to get on one of these dinosaurs is to get ghille armor. Don’t forget. Just remember to bring more carrots than you think. Be prepared!👍
What is with these guys always being in dangerous places? Every time I see one, they are either being chased, being eaten, or both.
HEAR ME OUT EVERYONE: idk if someone already said this but set any flying dino to follow you on *low* not lowest and go tame a horse. it will run in small circle because its being followed by the flying dino so they wont run in to the most dangerous place on the map how they love to do
So if you want to tame one of these get at least 50 rockcarrots make sure you bring a powerful tame with you to deal with all the annoying spinos and allos
