Tips & Strategies
So I heard you want to tame an Equus..
The creatures I recommend using to help you-
Argy for dropping it in pen
Iguanodon for seeding the rockarrots so you can have rockarrot crops( trust me itβs so much easier that going around to jungle ferns and searching)
You will need ALOT of rockarrots. The pursuit says only five but I recommend getting 50-100 depending on the level of the Equus. Getting extra is also very important because some will spoil on your long long search for the horse.
These horses live past the redwoods river near the mountains( if you are in Ark Mobile) and usually will be found running away from something or being hunted by something( usually raptors and Carnos, possibly allos)
If the horse says βfeed Azulberries to tameβ donβt be disappointed for you can still use those hard- earned rockarrots, (which I reccomend using because the Azulberries only give you 0.1% taming progress which I learned the hard way) .
Anyways, happy taming
More Equus Taming & KO Tips
I usually build a simple fence foundation and railing pen to use for passive tames. Then Iβll 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! β₯οΈ
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.
A pain in the backside to tame on mobile
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.
Best for knockouts!!! Dose lots of torpor.
