Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
Make it jump so it can’t run, making it easy to remount it, up if this helped you waste an hour taming it
If your server or single player world has altered weight for players you can encumber the target equus when doing the riding segment of taming. This’ll stop it from running into danger. Sometimes feeding them is enough to tame them. I highly recommend making a trap for areas you find them in.
It’s best to use an Argy to drop it off into a pen or somewhere safe as these guys will run around in a panic when ridden during taming and potentially run into danger.
Feed a carrot before jumping on it’s back. It u jump on it’s back before feeding ya carrot, the tamping will be messed up.
EASY IN THE BUTT TO TAME!!!All u have to do is pick it up with an argy,drop it INA taming pen, bola it,feed it and ride! For beginners just bola and do the rest and feed it carrots
Build a base with enough room to house them, scoop them up with an argy and bring him home to tame. they are suicidal out in the wild. I tamed one in a hallway 2 wide and maybe 10 long
They do not take Simple Kibble.
Building any sort of an enclosure and dropping them in with an Argent works just fine; if you want to get fancy use a quetz you spoiled rich kids XD
the tiny buttons no longer work well enough on mobile so I say just kill and revive if you have the amber
How do I find the Equus
In the island
If you would like to tame this then first get a iguanodon, then with said iguanodon farm some jungle ferns until you gat a Rockarrot, un-mount the iguanodon and turn the rockarrot into a seed, plant at a medium or large crop plot until you get about 50 rockarrots and then find a Equus, mount Equus, feed the Equus until tamed. Hope this helped😁
Just take a dire bear or some hunky creature clear a cave and tribute the totem found within then it’ll only take 2-3carrots.
(For mobile you get a free journeysman saddle)
To all ark players that are using a controller the feed button is triangle! I hope that this info will help u
If you want a challenge tame a 150 with amarberries on official.
Was taming a lvl 130. As soon as it finished taming, it died. Just gave up on life
You dont, trust me. It took me 45 rockarrots for a lvl 20 before i quit
Can’t report data error. I am on mobile. Pls help.
I learned that if you trap an equus in a building with 2 stories you can get it stuck in a corner. It will also tame faster if you feed it the second it starts bucking.
early game (atlease lvl 15 to 30) sneak behind equus then mount it (even without a saddle) make sure that you have a rock carrots (atlease 40 of it) on your hot bar, every time equus try to rock you out to get off of its back feed it with rock carrot to keep it calm.
Great traveling and KO’ing tame!
Things to note before taming:
-they spawn by creatures that will attack them, so pick them up quickly!
-they come in variations, some black and white, others orange and brown
-you can find them alone or with a second buddy equus
Here’s how to tame:
Fly near the green obelisk to find some. Check near the swamp too. If you can’t find any, do the destroywilddinos command. Once you find one, pick it up instantly with you flyer. You won’t want to tame it here. Be careful about checking level of one and picking up other to check it’s level, because they will die quickly to terror birds and baryonyxs.
There are two ways to do this- cage or free
Cage: set it in a trap, 2 by 2, preferably stone in case a large creature is near. Make a ramp on the side. Now fly away until you can’t see the trap. Then go back. The squid has forgotten all about you. Slowly go up the ramp. When its butt is facing you, slowly jump down and feed it berries. Then hop on! Feed it whenever the game says and you shall have an equus.
Free:
Go to an open area. Simply set it down, fly away from it, sneak up behind it (not with flyer, on foot) and feed it then hop on. It will run around, so there is more of a chance that it will run to a dilo or something dangerous. Then feed when games says to and enjoy your pony!
I suggest using a cage. Make sure to kill anything dangerous around it, especially if you will tame it freely. These guys are good for taming compys. They are fast, tough mounts and nice steeds. They go well with hyenaedons too.
