Tips & Strategies

What are tips for equus? Tips and strategies for equus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Don't Listen to people who say that they are waste of time. If are probably used they will be the best early game dino ever and in taming you just have to complete hunt Megapirana task and you will get a 10X smoothing balm and then gather 8 to 10 bushes and you will get 2 carrots then just go and tame it.
BEST THINGS ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY DO A CONTINUOUS TORPOR DAMAGE WITH THEIR KICK NOT LIKE OTHER CREATURES LIKE PACHY AND SCORPION. AND YOU AND EASILY MAKE NARCOTICS IN THEM SO THEY ARE VERY GOOD FOR TAMING.
BTW THIS IS MY FIRST TIP.
It’s simple how u tame em’
1.Make a house for taming passive tamers
2.Find one
3.feed it rock carrots
4.ride it ti’ll it loves you (after it knocks you out 5 million times)
5. Ride it into the sunset
Since I haven’t seen anyone say this, equus have six ‘classes’ based off of their power on mobile. If it’s power is 1.99 or less its in the lazy ‘class’, if it’s power is 2-3.09 it’s in the ‘normal’ class and will not have a special name when born, if it’s power is 3.10-4.50 it’s in the ‘swift’ class, if it’s power is 4.51-6.64 it’s in the ‘maiden’ class, if it’s power is 6.65-13.32 it’s in the ‘racing’ class, and finally, if it’s power is 13.33 above it’s in the ‘thoroughbred’ role. This is a good way to get a guess on a babies power when it’s born.
As of 12/23/23 if you are on console trying to tame these in Ark Ascended it’s bugged. During the taming process when you get prompted to feed the button to do so on console doesn’t work it’ll just buck you or you dismount it.
Put this higher !!So if you play mobile I found 3 in the same spot okay so first do the volcano pursuit the one where it's the cave inside the pursuit should be south of the equator and in that general area if you look around you'll find them
Whoever said mobiles pursuit was a fraud. It pretty much is, on mobile I think the taming is bugged because the first rockaroot gives about 25 taming, BUT THE NEXT ONES ONLY FILL 5-7% taming. The pursuit claims you need 5, but I ended up using around 30. I would highly recommend taming a trike to harvest a booty load of rockaroots in the jungle, that's what I did. Also don't learn the saddle engram if you do the pursuit because the quest rewards you with a journeyman saddle. Thank you and I hope this was helpful, also thank you to whoever said equus taming was bugged as a warning it really helped
Stop running horsey! All I want is to ride you and give you a butt load of carrots!
The tame equus mission (on ark mobile) is a scam!!
It says to collect 5 rockarrot but it's barely enough to tame a equus
So carry atleast 50 rockarrots
be prepared to get Dizzy when taming the Equus
I had my turtle and moschops following me and they got it stuck on a rock between them holding it hostage while I tamed it, overall it didn’t run into anything dangerous cuz it couldn’t move. Then I named it Pony and it was eaten 10minutes later by a 145 carno. Rip
If you want to tame one without an argy for more realistic progression. You can bola one and place 4 fence foundations around it and 4 thatch walls on that. Then all you need to do is go out of render distance come back and start taming it safely. And yes under 1x taming DO NOT use berries because it will take HOURS. Only use simple kibble or carrots, even the other crops if you have no other choice
I saw a unicorn once stupid sabertooths
Can't find them? Grab your coconut shells and occasionally shout 'Ni!' - you'll find one before long
Bola it, make a 1x1 square around it with fence foundations and then place doorframes around the horse. Walk up, feed a carrot, and tame without having to run straight into the mouth of an Allosaur. You’re welcome. :)
Fricking Brontos and Rexs are easier to take then this
