Tips & Strategies

What are tips for equus? Tips and strategies for equus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Taming one of these is a pain, which is what I named mine after taming a level one hundred. Here's what you'll need:
•An Argentavis
•A passive tame pen, ideally 4x4
•Dilophosaur kibble or Rockaroot.
Depending on the level, I’d say grab a minimum of 50 and a max of 150 Rockaroots, as for kibble you should be fine with 15-20 of them.
Here's a few pointers;
•Start the tame an Equus quest on mobile.
•Find a decent leveled Equus.
•Carry it to your passive take pen and drop it in.
•Equip the taming food on your very last hotbar slot.
•Sneak up on the Equus and feed it then immediately mount.
•Once mounted feed it only when hungry.
Sooner or later you'll have one.
The benefits definitely show once obtained, they knock out most dinos with a few kicks and you can lasso the ones knocked inside of water as well. They also act as a traveling mortar and pestle so keep some spoiled meat and narcoberries on you.
My Equus was level 100, turned 149 after 99.9% efficiency taking. It took around half an hour and 100 Rockaroots over all. Hopefully this helps!
There is a river fork at about 76 Latitude by 62 Longitude where they gather. I didnt spot any predators in the area during the day. It is in the lower right corner of the map.
I saw a lot of them spawn on North Zone 1 and 2,but be careful! Rexes and other dangerous creatures will spawn around there too!
THIS IS A PASSIVE TAME DO NOT KNOCK IT OUT
Found a Unicorn just north of red on dense woods. They do exist.
Quick tip: I was trying to tame one at my house and it bucked me off and my other tames thought it was hurting me so they killed it. Long story short, put all your other tames on passive if you want to tame it at your house.
Step 1: ride it
Step 2: feed it rockcarrot when it try’s to buck you of
Step 3:DONT DISMOUNT DONT LET IT BUCK YOU OF
Step 4:DONT LET A DINOSAUR HIT IT
Step 5:when tamed take it to safety
Extra tip:if you want more copy the steps
Give your equus focal chili which will give 100% extra crafting speed and 25% extra speed then craft narcotic and stimulate really fast! people can see
This creature is a pain to tame but worth it. When I first got it I was like “Now, what in the world am I going to do with this?” Then I realized, it is great for knocking out wild Dino’s if you are short on tranq arrows (knocked out a lvl 120 sarco with 3 back kicks). It is also good for a mobile narcotic maker. Just put some rotten meat in this bad boy and run around getting narcoberries and use it’s saddle to make all the narcotics you want. Bam!!! Then you got all the taming supplies you need to go get some other Dino’s.
found a really pretty equus after searching for days and i was 3 berries short.
Here’s how to tame an Equus:
1-Bring at least 50-100 rockcarrots, in case the Equus needed a lot of rockcarrots to tame, or if the rockcarrots spoil.
2-Wear full ghillie armor, and go to an area where Equus are located.
3-Sneak up behind it, don’t get very close or touch it, feed it the rockcarrots.(In Ark Survival Evolved Mobile, don’t mount it, because when you’re mounting it and feed it, the taming goes up by 2%, but feeding it while not mounting it, the taming goes up by 20%).
4-Don’t unlock the Equus saddle engram, the game will reward you with one when you’ve finished the pursuit.
And now… you have an Equus, with it’s saddle! Hope this helped!

These things are a must have for every level!!! I know everyone says this about everything but I mean it. I cannot stress about how good they are. They are great at knock outs with their back attack and can easily knock out a carno before it can really deal damage. But you do need a lot of carrots, but it’s worth it. Keep in mind that if you tap the carrots when it isn’t hungry it will dismount you and run away and you will lose taming progress. Make sure the area is clear because it when you are mounted it doesn’t do anything if it is attacked and just dies.
I hope this helped!
Cypher's tip
Here is a useful tip.
To tame one of these creatures, you would need berries or crops. The best is just Rockarrot. Approach one with the feeding item on the last item slot. Feed it and ride it. You'll need to press the action button (E for PC players) for everytime they stopped moving or the icon on the right flashes, prompting you to use it.
To get a 100% taming efficiency on this creature, avoid spamming the buttons and carefully timing your action button. Make sure that your surroundings are clear and there are not too many threats. They often run off into random areas that tends to be near a Giga territory.
They often spawn in large open fields so that is best to look for one. Good luck and have a good one.
These guys don’t need a saddle for you to ride them! Basically the only reason why you should get the saddle is cuz the saddle has a mortar and pestle in it. So for you low-levels, try to tame one of these as soon as you can. All you need is a few rockcarrots or berries(might take a while using berries) and you have an incredibly useful tame that runs fast and is able to carry a decent weight (somewhere around 350-450 kg).
These things are SUPER easy to tame and here’s how.
1. Get 10 rock carrots and put them in the last slot of your hotbar
2. Crouch and approach slowly only move closer while it’s looking away.
3. When next to it DONT MOVE and feed it the rock carrot
(May take several carrots on a higher level but normally only 1-2)
Also it will run away after you feed it if it takes more than one carrot. But don’t immediately chase it try to wait and see where it goes. Then repeat instructions 1-3. You can also use a ghillie suit if you have one. Go check out my other tips on the yuty and carno. Hope this helped! -a really cool person
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 it’s 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 “feed Azulberries to tame” don’t 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
They are mostly found ( in my experience ) Where Carnivores are ( Raptors, Carnos, terror birds etc. ) So you really have to make sure the area is safe enough so you can hop on the equus and feed it. I hope this helps!
