Everything you need-

* crops (you can use berries but it only makes the tame bar go up 1%)

*patience

* no weight

...

When wanting to tame you have to find one, you can trap it into a place next to your house but when trying to tame you got to put your taming food to the last slot and crouch and go behind it, if on xbox press Y to feed and ride, if on computer press E to feed and ride and I believe you just press feed and ride for ark mobile.

When riding press Y to feed it, BUT only feed it when it's trying to kick you off otherwise it'll make you get off of it and the equus will run away, so feed it when it's mad, and just stay on it until it's tame bar goes up.

As far as I know the best maps to tame is lost Island but mostly Genesis pt 2.

Equus are not the most essential tame, but their speed and torpor kick, as well as saddle crafting makes the a well worthwhile tame so here’s a guide to help you tame one for yourself.

1. Equus are an herbivorous passive tame that can eat berries or crops or kibble, however, using berries and crops besides rockarrots I would highly caution against because it tanks the effectiveness, and takes forever, increasing the risk of attack, and the Equus doing something dumb like swimming or running off a cliff while taming it.

2. Locate your desired Equus and clear the area of hostile dinos, to prevent the low tame effectiveness, reset of tame progress, or death of the Equus. If you are unable to kill problematic dinos, lure them away.

3. To tame an Equus, you will need to sneak up, preferably with ghillie, or sprint up really quickly and feed it. Immediately after feeding it you need to ride it, and then as it starts to buck and show a status message telling you to feed it to calm it, you need to feed it. Repeat until it is tamed. You will not be able to control it while riding so keep that in mind with hazards around the area such as water, cliffs and lava.

Happy taming!

These guys are best at knocking out creatures who were boalaed or netted. Level up melee and it becomes a torpidity machine. It's simple, sneak up behind feed berries or veggies hop on its back and feed it when the bottom right hand corner flashes. Prey it doesn't jump of a cliff or run into a giga. Good weight and stam with good collection of berries.

I have a few equus’s and I tamed 2 and bred the rest but when I went looking for the Equus’s “ on the island” I found them by a bunch of Agro Dino's so I had to kill them so I suggest finding equus’s without agro Dino’s by them unless you want to kill them.

Another thing is that rock carrots go bad fast so make sure you get a lot of rock carrots.

For anyone struggling on mobile

This took me forever to figure out but after you’ve got the hang of it it’s relatively easy. First and foremost your going to need a ton more than five carrots to tame one of these. Carrots spoil quickly and as this is a time consuming process more than half your stash is likely to spoil.

Using a stego or bronto to seems to be the most effective rockarrot gathering technique. If your taming your equestrian and run out of carrots you can leave them in a safe area to gather more, the taming percentage doesn’t go down so long as the equals isn’t Agroed to you.

When an equals is agroed to your survivor it will stare at you while running, don’t bother trying to run as fast as you can to catch it, try to follow the direction it was headed. The most effective technique I’ve tried is using an argy to drop an equus in a taming pen (make sure it’s large enough for the horse to run (trust me) or dropping it in the oasis after my games have cleared it out and are at rest in neutral. If an argy is unavailable try and find an equus in safer locations that way you and your future friend aren’t mauled by an allo or three.

If you haven’t got the hang of taming this tricky creature be ready to whistle your tames to passive in moments notice as an equus can and most likely will knock you off and kick you.

Now that you have you 100-200 rockarrots (for up to a level 850)-yes this is a little overkill but better to be safe than sorry- find your future equus, you can either search near the volcano or even at the bottom of frozen tooth, there are other places but this is where I had the most success. Pick your equus up with your Argie and fly to your taming pen or the oasis. (If your lucky you may find some beaver dams to claim afterwards)

The equus should only agro for a moment before returning to its prancing beauty. Land your argy and head to your equus, be careful when approaching as they are skittish and agro easily. (Try from behind at first) feed it the first carrot then mount it.

This is the tricky part, when and only when the equus starts bucking feed it. If fed beforehand you will be kicked off and the horse will agro to you and you will lose your progress.

Let it run back and forth or mabey it gets caught on something but either way pay attention to its hind end. The panel at the top of the screen (where it displays the species and sex) may say to feed it, but, don’t not unless it’s tying to buck you off. You will also receive a message at the bottom of your screen each time the equus is ready to be tamed.

Keep a careful watch of your horses back legs and remember this is a time consuming process. If you have to get of your equus (wether to gather more carrots or to fight off an aggressor) be sure to do it right after you feed it or it will agro. There is a foot button on the top right of screen push this right after feeding a carrot than run away as fast as possible. No need to run far just far enough away your not going to accidentally touch it.

Now (being a very far distance away) begin to gather berries wether it be with a bronto or stego, I highly recommend stego as they are small and fit through more crevices to reach the jungle ferns.

Continue taming by mounting your horse again, feed it right away and then continue the process of waiting for it to buck and then feeding it again.

This may take a few tries but if you really want an equus than it’s worth it.

Equus aren’t very efficient berry gatherers but they do run quit fast and have a saddle which acts as a mortar and pestle but also gives the blueprint for a lasso.

Lassos can grab a wild or tamed Dino and drag it backwards to another location. This works great for getting unconscious creatures out of water. But lassos aren’t easily maneuverable as you aren’t able to steer the horse any another direction besides back and forth.

Equus has two attacks, one is simple and is really just a bite (which is used to gather berries). The other is a kick which can be used to render other creatures unconscious.

Overall equus is a great starter tame and can carry any surviver quickly over long distances. It’s relatively low health can be a danger but because of its speed it can definitely outrun even the most stubborn of Dino’s. Equus allows you to use lassos while it’s saddle doubles as a mortar and pestle. This creature can be tricky to tame but once mastered any equus you want will be considered yours after a lot of time and patience.

Hope you enjoyed! Have a great day (or evening) and happy taming
