Tips & Strategies

So before you go to ride a wild equus; no they cannot be over encumbered, you’ll still be at the mercy of wherever this thing takes you. Much like hyenadons I suggest on most maps and areas to build a two room taming arena. The arena can be one wall high, with one room being vastly larger than the other. The small room is to help you sneak in and or keep them from escaping if you like to use double doors. Wear a ghillie suit and approach from the rear. Depending on settings and your stats if it kicks you off you may be passed out or completely fine. Leave the rendered area or wait a little distance away from the arena to reset aggro/ai state. Much like moschops and dire wolves you can ride with the need of a saddle.
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.
