ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Fun fact: the first one I tamed was the uni
Anyways, after my tip to taming (mine says things to note and cage taming and free taming) I decided to do a tip about what they can do, and how to find, etc.
First of all, the equus is extremely hard to find. They are like the diplocaulus of the land. They are easiest to find at the green obelisk. If you donβt find any, do a destroywilddinos command. Once I did this. Four appeared, two died instantly and then one did. Then the last one I picked up.
Second of all, they are great for taming! You could easily tame an army of dilos or a computer for a shoulder pet! They are one of the creatures that has amazing jump, like the Thyla and megaloceros. They are great for traveling if speed, weight, and health (health for any surprise attacks from wild Dinos) are upgraded.
Third of all, their saddle is an on-the-go-mortar-and-pestle. If you knock out a theri with tranq darts while exploring and are in need of some narcotics, get some old spoiled meat (maybe keep it with equus) and collect narcoberries. They arenβt too bad at berry collecting!
Last of all, they are just cute. Literally are sweet pony friends and you can build stables with a paddock and put them on wander, you could get 5 or more and ride one as the leader, you can do many things! People on servers can do βequus showsβ for a small fee of a material that is needed too!
Have fun with equus!
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 a high level one unless you have smooth 15Γ otherwise the only thing you get is just some kicks!
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.
