If your friends with the alpha tribe and one of them is really kind, ask if they could help tame and Equus, but pay them so they get something out of it, my Ally’s are the Builders and Tamers and one of their admins, Deadline 2.0, help me tame a dung beetle and gave me his quetz Airplane (I named it) and now the bay by the green obelisk, me and him share it (with some rules, so it won’t be like the trail of tears, and so he can’t steal our ideas and build a base by us, and he built a bridge so we can get to the other side, I tried to give him doors so stuff like raptors can’t cross it, but he didn’t, overall, we’re pretty good friends, because he risked his life so I could tame a dung beetle (farming tip, build them by a beach so you don’t have to use a lot of pipes)

My true story. 14 February 2022:

1st try: kidnapped a lvl 70 with my Argen. Turn on the pursuit quest & tried to tame it with Rockcarrots... Every carrot nets you 1.5%. it took so long that i failed on 41%... So angry. Killed that horse.

2nd try: open Dododex, ride my Argen to gather Dilos egg for kibble... Manage to find 12. Make the kibble, look for low lvl horse... Found lvl 10. Kidnapped, turn on the pursuit, feed it kibble... Since lvl 70 need around 8 kibbles, i assume lvl 10 need 3-5 max... Feed the horse all 12 kibbles, the bar still on 14%... No matter if it kibble or carrot, it's the same 1.5%...

In panic, tried to open inventory to put carrot on hotkey to feed... Cannot open inventory... Failed 3x, killed that horse.

3rd try: new day, new beginning. Went out with my Argen, encounter a lvl 90 horse. Beautiful horse, the skin is red with golden marking on zebra pattern & golden legs... Kidnapped it, turn on the pursuit with ALL hotkey as carrots.

67% at nighttime, failed due to wild Raptor... Horse killed, killed that Raptor.

4th try: Sunday afternoon. Went to local gym... Take a dip in cold pool, log in to ark, encounter lvl 75 horse. Plain white with gold marking & golden legs, absolutely gorgeous... walk out from pool, drink 2 cans of redbulls, proceed to enter sauna. Tame it with absolute concentration IN sauna.

Named it Yakiniku, gonna leave it at base till kingdoms come. Hate! Horse!

Didn’t think the torpor damage on this thing would be usable since the pachy and scorpion aren’t really so great for knocking out even though they can. The equus on the other hand has crazy good torpor damage with its kick attack like it can knock out anything if it has really good HP

Ok so this is my first tip on all Dododex, and I know this is not kinda useful, but what if u tame a whole herd of them, I have 19 bc I breed them, and then make a stable or barn and keep them there until u need them, then feed them and build wooden spikes around the stable or barn to keep them safe and paint the barn red like those u see on farms, right? I have done this before, IT IS VERY USEFUL and it protected my equus from allosauruses until I came with my Dienonychus (idk I forgot how to spell it) and killed it, u can do this if u don’t know a way to protect them. It’s simple to make just make this simple resources: wooden walls, slope wooden roofs, 2 gates and 2 gate holders, (I’m so lazy rn) and wooden pillars to divide ur horses. Idk if this was useful :( sorry for miss pronounced words I’m too lazy rn

I built a pen two walls high, out of 16 walls on top of fence foundations. One wall a walk through door. So two by two. Put on my ghillie suit, grabbed a level fifty 2.7 x with my argy, dropped it in the pen. Then I squatted outside the door a fed it rockcarrots. Couldn't have been easier unless I used kibble. I tamed one before by the riding it and that gave me high blood pressure. My phone barely has enough processor and RAM to play ARK at all so the pen was way easier. Hope you have good luck.
