Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These things are incredibly bugged on mobile. Taming rates vary between equus and literally the same equus on the very same level. Bring more supplies than you believe you should.
Example: Dododex calc says you can tame a lv 270 equus with 1 dilo kibble on 8.75x (mobile soothing balm), I found a lv 250 equus, brought 7 dilo kibble, and used a balm. 1 kibble without mounting gives 28%, after mounting gives 14%. Heh.
Also, while riding these things to tame, swiping up repeatedly will get it to jump, and swiping down (or whatever button you use for kick) slows it down to a crawl. This may be beneficial for taming but it's still most likely a bug anyway since wiki doesn't list it.
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.
Best for knockouts!!! Dose lots of torpor.
