Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
Before you tame one of these you should get crops or carrots so you’re ready to tame it and so that you can get it on the first try
Not a tip but could someone tell me where they spawn. I recently lost all my progress (lvl 80)
When taming do not dismount for any reason on ark mobile. I accidentally tapped dismount when taming my second equus and the taming affectedness dropped from 100% to 80%. Also was using rock carrots.
Get some carrots. Ride it. Then tame it.
Pick it with an argy or anything bigger (yes argies can pick them up even though it says they cant) drop it in a taming pin and then mount it. Alot easier then running crazy
Exceptional kibble works better than carrots
Ride on its back, if it bucks u off, soothe it with a rockarrot
These are great tames, and great for knocking out other Dino's. I recommend to tame with bola. After you bola the Equus build a wall surrounding it with Dino gateways. Then once its trapped you can wait for it to stop running then feed to tame!
Ok so always wear a ghillie suit when taming!
If you need to find some and you’re on the Fjordur map, I found 8 or so of them in the cave at 28.8 39.8 in the fall region, it’s inside the cave. Although apparently they can spawn outside the cave, but they’ve just been inside for me.
I was in a beach when I easily tamed this without mounting it:
All you gotta do is bring about 2 dozens (around 25) of rockarrots enough to tame it then keep sneaking and feeding it AS LONG as you don’t make it run away
For ps4 players the button you push is triangle I don’t know if Im the only one but it took me 20min
Took find that out
They make to hard don’t try to tame them
When on single player dont use the god console to speed it up unless you you have fast reactions or it will kick you off
When I tamed one on ASA I learned the lasso engram.
You always want to be east to find equus. I most commonly see them in the very southeastern corner of the map [The island] up on the big cliff where there’s grassland or around the rivers— and occasionally on the beach.
Threats you may face going east:
Spinos, carnos, pulmonoscorpius, Raptors, sarcos, dilo packs
(This is just from all personal expirience I’ve had searching for Equus on my singleplayer world, but I guarantee you will find some in said areas.)
I recommend making a decent sized closer off area before hand, make it so an argavantis can fit.
Get a wooly rhino, or any other forager. Find MANY rockcarrots. They want a variety of berries majoring rockcarrots.
Then search on an arg. It could take hours to find a single one. Pick it up and bring it to the closed area.
Put all the berries in your hot bar. It will make grabbing the berries easier. Click the saddle and start rapidly giving the required berry. Repeat many times.
That’s how you get your own equus! Good luck! :D
if you are looking for a equus early use mejoberries but the best way to tame is with rockarots
I’ve literally been trying to tame one for 2 hours but every single time a carno pulls up and kills it so if you wanna tame one you’ll need to clear out the area first, good luck
When mounted quickly use rockarrot
