Tips & Strategies
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.
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.
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.
I recommend rockarrot for taming them it tames faster
Best for knockouts!!! Dose lots of torpor.
