Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
Something with EQUUSES is that they tend to appear in areas by shores and in dangerous areas so when you taming them make sure you have at least 65 rockoroots because some EQUUS take longer or shorter to tame and bola it so it doesn’t jump of a cliff and it hells a lot when you have God Consle because when a dangerous animal comes you can kill it Ty for reading have a good day🥰😁
Please help me I cannot get any of these😩
Equus are basically horses that can be found in certain places of the map, or in Redwoods. They can be tamed with any berry, but rockarrot is the main food. They also take Dilo Kibble. With any other berry besides rockarrot, it will be 0.1% or 1% every feed. With an argy, I recommend that you take the equus out of whatever place it's in, and back to your base. If not, a safe place. If you don't have a argy , make sure a creature is following you on medium or high, and on neutral in case something attacks. You should probably have 100-150 rockarrots, or 200 Taming! They can he found by the mountain on the left side of Redwoods. Hope this helps with your equus taming! One more thing , clear the area and make sure that no threats are near. Keep in mind, some new threats will spawn in shortly or long after. You should look for one during the start of the day as you are on your way to Redwoods. Nighttime is the worst time to tame the equus if not at the base. -TinaZ
On mobile, there is a glitch with the bola so if you use it, it’s just a waste and it’ll run away
I HATE PASSIVE TAMING 😡😡😠😠😠😠
These guys are good for tame trips
How to tame: Equus: ARK Mobile Edition!
Prep: 2x2x2 trap (why 2 high? Just in case :)) (4 foundations, 16 doors) of any material, these don't fight back and flee instead, Rockarrots, I'd suggest bringing a WHOLE LOT (50-75) because you'll see in a minute. And you'll also need a tame that can pick up the horsey (oh and Time too, lots of Time)
Find: there's no real place from where I've found but they live by the shallow jungle and near the bases of mountains (or you can do Tame: Equus) and after you found it pick it up with argy and drop in trap
Tame: I don't remember you needing ghillie but just crouch behind and feed, normally when you start riding it will run around crazily most likely Into danger like an Allo (that's why the trap is required) or off a cliff but after a lil while I'll do a QuickTime event that needs you to feed a rockarrot before it bucks you off, rising the taming effectiveness very little (like 1-2%) so rinse and repeat until tamed
Have fun with your brand new Horsey! Just don't make it be a battle mount... trust me...
RIP: h o n s e . - level 27
For early game, just find a low level (only up to 25) and if you have a high taming rate it should only tame 10 or so mejoberries
How to Tame effectively and with less rockcarrots and time.
1. Trap the Horse (Fence, Room, etc.)
2. Try to mount, when prompted by the game to feed it, wait for 2 secs then feed (Gives more Taming progress than stalking fashion taming)
3. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNMOUNT EVERYTIME YOU SUCCESSFULLY FED IT.
4.wait for it to be hungry again.
And repeat step 2 to 3.
Just mount it then feed when it's hungry, then unmount after feeding, and let it roam the room or enclosure til it gets hungry.
Proven in Mobile.
Tamed a lvl 18 in no time.
P.S. you don't have to build a dino gate, just trap yourself with the horse inside. Just Destroy the walls after the process.
Always use an Argy to drop into a 4x4 stone doorframe pen for taming. Then wear ghillie suit and crouch to passively tame without agro. Crops are best and dont forget to start with soothing balm.
So, I found 2 ovis while looking for one of these. I don't think ark will except my dreams of horse riding. And the ovis weren't even a breeding pair.
***TAMING*** on mobile
After taming 3 of these guys and chasing them all across the map and 2 accidentally getting eating this is what you do, tame an argy, find an equus. Once you have the equus you want hover over the horse while on your argy and swipe up on the left side and boom you’ve picked up your equus. Before hand, make sure your Argys stamina is up as well as his speed so your argy can carry the equus to your base. At your base MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A 3X3 PEN THAT IS STONE WITH WINDOWS. so you can feed the equus without getting close close. And each carrot gives the equus about 5% so do the math 50 carrots to be safe. Enjoy. Up this if this helped you.
If you back kick something, boom ko'd
URGENT NOTE FOR SWITCH PLAYERS!!! As you tame your horse and are trying to tame it, remember that the dismount button AND the use button are BOTH mapped to the X button! When the equus is attempting to buck you off, only press the X button ONCE, any more will result in you voluntarily dismounting the horse! (It took me two days to figure this out and at least 5 dead horses ;-; )
Tame a scropion animals are not aggro on mobile toward you if you attack them or are riding by, but I would still try to steer clear of the bigger carnivores. You might as well get the lowest lev one since it doesn’t make a difference since theses things have unlimited stamina and then about 30 carrots, I tamed mine on level 1, and the quest gives you a saddle for free, so don’t get the enagram.-snail lover
Use track darts or get carrots and then trap them and then u can tame them also be sure you find one before getting carrots the carrots will decompose*up if this helps*
I got my first one at level 68. They always bucked me off even if I fed them dilo kibble and ran away so I trapped one in my work in progress creature pen and he could not run away! Now I have a equus and I named him “Took Too Long”
If you want to sneak up on it without spooking it then crouch as you approach it
PRESS THE SAME BUTTON TO FEED AS YOU DO TO MOUNT, and feed him as soon as you mount! For me on Xbox, it's Y. Then press again all times he tries to buck you off. Lost a unicorn because I didn't know what button would feed him, I thought the mounting button would make me dismount.
Was kinda easy I built a pen (4 foundation + 8 door frames)
Used my argy to pick it up n dropped in pen I used rockcarrot in tame slot and boom I had one
Up for other to see
