Tips & Strategies
Tip: did you know the game can truly hate people, in fact I think wildcard just regrets making all mobile completely and that’s why some things are so stupid. For example, for the Equus specifically, just go tame a raptor instead. For mobile at least. Because, unless you have a ton of time and really just want an Equus, there’s no need to waste time. It’s said that equi are good beginner games because of how easy it is, that’s not the case for mobile. There are so many possible glitches that can happen that it’s just not worth it. By the time you’re actually able to properly prepare to tame an Equus, you can get better stuff. Usually, if you attempt to go time an Equus and the stars don’t aline, you’re done for, having to walk back to base. I swear, just, why must this happen. I’ve spent 3 real life days trying to tame an Equus, yet I’m still unsuccessful because so many glitches keep happening. I can’t tell you the exact amount it takes for obvious reasons. But unless you’ve got tons of soothing balm. Only go for low level equi like level 50 tops, and bring two stacks of rockcarrots. Then, make sure there are no rocks, trees, or a living creatures within a 100 m radius, and no water either, and I wouldn’t do a pen either because it could get stuck in that somehow and glitch. Then, make sure you have around 1 and a half hours of free time, and prepare for an event that will leave you starting to hate both the Equus and the game and general. Then, enjoy the Equus for a hit before it gets killed because one enemy, it could even be a compy for example shows up, then 50 other predators, or a herbivore walks into you with 50 friends nearby, and decide to make you regret ever learning dinosaurs existed. This is only partially an overdeamatization, partially. Enjoy the game while you can 🙃😐
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.
