What are tips for equus? Tips and strategies for equus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
How to tame a equus (easy way):
Make a trap were ever you want it should be a 2×2 trap so it would not move grab it by using argy or bola it and build the trap surrounding it and now just feed it dont get on it feed it like pacife tame it will increas faster and if you are on mobile just do tame equus porsuit and you get high rank better than wasting engram point
Build 4x4 thatch room with open roof, collect a bunch of carrots, find equus (recommend turning on pursuit to get directions to nearest one), grab with argy, bring to pen, take.
Found in highlands in rag.
Make sure there isn’t any gigas there is if there is no equus.
Recommended to tame at start because eventually they will be hunted, and harder to find ;)
You can pick this creature up with a wyvern and quetzal I tried it
i dont know how but i went here to see how many carrots i need to tame a lvl 45, it said i needed only 14 so i grabbed like 25 carrots and went to tame it
14 carrots hardly made it halfway, idk if it was bc the horse was mate boosted or if this app is just really innacurate, bc before i went to tame it already made sure i put in the level right and used the right multiplier wtf
found the horse in a super safe area near base too but now it already ran off to raptor infested territory bruh
Don’t breed these. They take forever, your better off just getting carrot seeds and taming another one.
You better tame this cause you can use it to tame gigas and rexs
Xbox one: as soon as you mount you need to feed again straight away otherwise you're dumped.
It was very hard for me to tame my Equuses. I dismounted on accident so many times on my first one, its effectiveness went down to 33%.9. Partly because of the terror birds attacking, and me pressing rockarrots on accident, and lastly.... Because of hunger. I managed to find a lvl 13. I tamed it with 73.99 effectiveness, or so. Equus are so rare for me on mobile, to the point where if I have lots of rockarrots, and I see an equus, or lots of equus, I will bring Rexy to demolish all that dare attack those, so I can tame them all. Also, for me again, they are rare for me, BUT... It seems like they are as rare as a unicorn. (If you find equus every once in like.. days? Then please tame all you can, until you have enough equuses to swap out incase one dies). Also, equus can only be tamed with Dilo kibble, or rockarrot. So please don't come at it with any other berry. THEY ARE NOT KNOCKOUT TAMES, I REPEAT, THEY ARE NOT KNOCKOUT TAMES. When I tried to tame an equus before I got my tamed ones, I saw one but it was getting chased by a raptor. I decided to let it die, because I figured there would be more. Biggest mistake of my life. NO. NONE. All spawn points empty. No more equus. So I went back to my base. And I came back in redwoods. Still no equus. Hours, or a day later... BOOM walking at the right end of redwoods, 2 equus spawn. Me sitting there with no rockarrots. 0. So I tamed an iguano, and got a heck a lotta rockarrots. I tamed them both. I named a brown one Starbuckz, and the other Silver. They are happy in my base❤️. Unfortunately, they are both female, so I cannot breed.
Rockarrots are magic on these. I seriously fed it and didn’t even need to get on.
Apparently you press the same button to mount/dismount as you do to feed these things, so instead of feeding it, you get dismounted now. Big bummer because I found a Unicorn and I can't tame it... I'm going to check YouTube to see if anybody has tamed this thing yet...
Go to cords latitude 63.4 longitude 33.5 and you'll find its dossier and a cool base spot. Good luck!;)
Taming a equus is a passive tame not a knock out. You'll need to make a trap so it won't run off and get killed. You'll need as much berries as the DeX says. And have a ghillie suit to not spook it.But in case you accidently mount off and lose some taming effect have some more berries with you just in case. This is how I did it.
When I was trying to find and tame my first equus it was pretty rare and always spawn near the raptors,therizeno,spinos,rexes,allos and other deadly Predators. But after I've tamed one I saw 3 equus spawning near Peaceful rivers many times lol
Tip for begginers-equus spawn mostly near rivers or forests. Before taming, you should watch the area carefully or else maybe when you have almost tamed an equus a carnivore may come out of nowhere and ruin your taming, Because most of the times I saw them spawning near rivers spinos there. But if you have Argy then just pick up equus and put it into a taming pen and there you go.
And also use kibble or carrots to tame it. Don't use berries otherwise it will take whole day to tame an equus.
If you are on a map like Val or Rag that spawns carrots in the wild the grab a few of those, don’t waste your time with berries and make it an easy tame
As a Professional Equus breeder I think u should always tame both genders and breed them and even though it usually takes a long time for the equus to be born it still is amazing when you imprint the equus fully it is one of the best things you can have.
Yall. This isnt simple. Only those who have actually tamed these know the pain. Ecspecially on mobile. Pain, and frustration.. Dismounting by feeding it rockarrots accidentally... PAIN. But they are worth it. Low hp, but massive torpor. Low attack too.. And also, they are fast, but at the same time slow, so I guess you could say their speed is MEDIUM. Also, they run so close to danger, you sometimes sweat in rl Happened for me)..
