What are tips for equus? Tips and strategies for equus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I love these, great for gathering plant resources. Can take a while to tame tho (also if it gets attacked while taming and you get off it will reset taming progress in ASA)
I swear they always by something that wants to eat me
Tbh, when I find one it kills it self
Make sure you get these damn horses into a safe, enclosed before trying to tame them. Use an argentavis to drop them in a pen or something, because if you try to tame them in the wild they will just make a beeline for the nearest Allo or simply jump off a cliff.
Well the Equus is a hard tame,even a t-rex is easier but you will need around 30-60 carrots so to get that you will have to plant some get a medium plant crop and in order to the seeds go to the nearest forest and keep gathering plants until you get the seeds plant the seeds with fertilizer inside the plant crops.
Tamed one, and that’s enough for me, after that week of trying ima kill every one I see from here on out
How I tamed on mobile:
So you kinda need an argey to do this so if you don’t have an argey then you better get one cause they’re super helpful (but the saddle unlocks at lvl 62), anyway, you’ll need to make a pen with at least a 2x2 square floor and 2x2 square walls all around (one wall should be a simple door & doorframe) once built it should look like a box without a top (do NOT make the walls out of fence, THEY WILL HOP FENCES!)
Now you either make a good bit of dilo kibble or get a lot of carrots then you hop on your argey and go lookin for your horsey. (I like plain white ones similar to the pic on Dododex cause you can dye them fun colors) Once you find a good horsey just pick it up with your argey and head back to the pen you made and plop it in there (remember that your argey’s stamina will deplet faster cause it’s carrying something)
Now you can just go in the pen with your horsey and tame it! (To tame on mobile you ride it and feed it then get off and repeat) now all you gotta do is name and color (optional) your new horsey friend!
/\ if you found helpful or (for some reason) funny, \/ if this wasn’t very helpful at all
If there’s unicorns and dragons then I think there should be centaurs
These guys have great stamina when running but when you get one PUMP UP ITS STAMINA! It has terrible stamina when fighting and if your stuck in a fight your stamina will run out really quickly, so if you don’t get away, you will either die while waiting for your stamina to recharge or your Equus will fall asleep and die. Up this so noobs will see
A lot of these tips are incomplete so I’d like to offer the more complete help that I could not find here:
When taming an equus, have your carrots ready in your last hotbar slot. Sneak up behind, stand still and feed the equus, immediately hop on!!
Keep an eye on the bottom right hand corner of your screen and feed the equus when prompted in your effect statuses(on pc it’s E to feed). You HAVE to stay on the equus, because everytime you hop off you’ll lose gaming effectiveness. So pay attention to not tap E until the feeding prompt comes up or you’ll hop off and mess up the tame. Just keep feeding while riding until it tames, and viola you have a perfect 100% Equus tame!! (Spamming is your enemy, this tame takes a little concentration. Happy riding friends!) I recommend using a pen so you don’t have to chase the horse across the plains.
I wish this was a knockout tame 😭
If you find one of these guys and happen to have a roccarrot you crouch and slowly approach them these guys will run like usain bolt
I JUST TAMED AN EQUUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Equus is one of the best early game tames in my opinion once you have it use it to knock out other dinos with its kick it will save you tranq arrows if you haven't unlocked it and you can still get other dinos to join your team they are decent harvesters wood, thatch, and barries and there fast runners if you need to get somewhere or you need to get away from danger quick also they take barries and carrots as a taming food but it in the last slot they are passive tames. On Xbox walk up and push Y and you'll have to ride it out till it is yours give a like if this helps
In order to tame an equus you will have to sneak up behind it and feed it Rockarrot and ride on it and again feed it rockarrot it will start moving but won't run to far when it trys to kick you off feed it another rockarrot and repeat it and boom you have tamed an equus do the pursuit tame equus to find it keep flying or walking and an arrow will appear showing its location and after you tame it with pursuit you will get its saddle the saddle will work as a mortar and pestle.
Get a good supply of rock carrots doesn't take many but mistakes will be made..can be carried by a Wyvern even if you need to land for stamina every 3 seconds
If you find some of these in groups ,be sure to look around, there might be allosaur...... existing nearby where eqqus exists (not always but most of the times ,i read this tip from someone else and fortunately for.me it was true and I checked area when eqqus spawned)
I feel like a tek variant would look so cool
