What are tips for equus? Tips and strategies for equus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Find them in grasslands, just south of the snow biome.
On Ragnarok these are the best early game tames, here's why:
1. You don't need saddle to ride.
2. They are found almost anywhere with vegetables
23 They are passive tames and their fav food are carrots, and on Highlands you can find a bunch of carrot bushes.
4. They are fast and can jump pretty high.
5. They look cool.
If you are on mobile don’t tame a level 95 like I tried to do each carrot did 1.3% and when I finally got it to eighty percent I accidentally tapped the carrot twice to feed which dismounted me, lost ten percent taming percentage and effectiveness. :( then to top it off when I quickly remounted it it was already bucking and I wasn’t ready… I was knocked out then lost ALL my progress. So in respect for the Equus I gave it it’s freedom and plonked it in a safe spot to taunt me every time I fly by. I was seconds away from lighting it up with a fabricated pistol but i felt like that would be a b!tch move. Just go for a bad lvl if on mobile, there are better mounts then those filthy bloody equestrians anyway…. Maybe I’m just salty lol
For mobile (android and ios) if you're having difficulty feeding it in time remember you can put the food on your hotbar and go to settings -> controlls -> (left or right or both) multitap and set it to the inventory slot where you put the food so you can just double tap anywhere on your screen to feed it, also don't forget if you try to feed before it wants to or you miss the time I'll kick you and deal massive amount of torpor so it might be worth putting 1 or 2 points in fortitude and bringing stims and water
Do not reccomend for quick travel on mobile it it is not really that fast and raptor or parasaur are better alternatives but they are great for knocking out other creatures
Using rockarrots makes taming them really fast I’ve tamed a lot of them with only one rockarrot but sometimes it’s more.
These are among the easiest tames in the game if you have access to rock root or kibble. Sneak up on them, feed them and hop on. IMMEDIATELY feed it again. Now just wait for it to kick or buck and feed again. As always a taming pen makes it even easier!
They spawn in grasslands and can spawn alone or up to a pack of 4. Raptors, carnos, and rexes can also spawn in grasslands so note that as soon as they spawn they might be getting attacked.
FOR CONSOLE ASA PLAYERS:
You need a keyboard for this now. You have to press E when it needs feeding on the keyboard as Y on the controller kicks you off.
Also, fun fact. Untamed Carchas as way faster than taming Equus.
Saw this in a different comment but it didn’t get voted enough for most people to see.
CONSOLE: Need a Keyboard in order to tame! Whenever prompted to feed click “E” to feed.
If you plan on taming one of these guys MAKE SURE you have A LOT OF CARROTS taming it with berries it takes A LONG TIME to get one with berries so once again HAVE A LOT OF CARROTS!!!!!!!
