Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a 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
Do not reccomend for quick travel on mobile it it is not really that fast and raptor or parasaur are better alternatives but they are great for knocking out other creatures
So I heard you want to tame an Equus..
The creatures I recommend using to help you-
Argy for dropping it in pen
Iguanodon for seeding the rockarrots so you can have rockarrot crops( trust me it’s so much easier that going around to jungle ferns and searching)
You will need ALOT of rockarrots. The pursuit says only five but I recommend getting 50-100 depending on the level of the Equus. Getting extra is also very important because some will spoil on your long long search for the horse.
These horses live past the redwoods river near the mountains( if you are in Ark Mobile) and usually will be found running away from something or being hunted by something( usually raptors and Carnos, possibly allos)
If the horse says “feed Azulberries to tame” don’t be disappointed for you can still use those hard- earned rockarrots, (which I reccomend using because the Azulberries only give you 0.1% taming progress which I learned the hard way) .
Anyways, happy taming
be prepared to get Dizzy when taming the Equus
Instead of stupid crap how about Actual tips on how to tame things
This is a lot easier to tame than I thought it was! Step 1: with a dino that’s good at gathering berries, get some rock carrot seeds
(I suggest a Bigfoot or stego) step 2: plant and grow carrots (carrots work best but mejo berries will work as well) Step 3: sneak up to a horse and feed it with a carrot (or mejo berry) in the last slot of your hot bar. Step 4: Immediately mount it and repeat until tamed.
Thank you for reading! Hope it helps you fellow horse lovers!
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. :)
Taming one of these is a pain, which is what I named mine after taming a level one hundred. Here's what you'll need:
•An Argentavis
•A passive tame pen, ideally 4x4
•Dilophosaur kibble or Rockaroot.
Depending on the level, I’d say grab a minimum of 50 and a max of 150 Rockaroots, as for kibble you should be fine with 15-20 of them.
Here's a few pointers;
•Start the tame an Equus quest on mobile.
•Find a decent leveled Equus.
•Carry it to your passive take pen and drop it in.
•Equip the taming food on your very last hotbar slot.
•Sneak up on the Equus and feed it then immediately mount.
•Once mounted feed it only when hungry.
Sooner or later you'll have one.
The benefits definitely show once obtained, they knock out most dinos with a few kicks and you can lasso the ones knocked inside of water as well. They also act as a traveling mortar and pestle so keep some spoiled meat and narcoberries on you.
My Equus was level 100, turned 149 after 99.9% efficiency taking. It took around half an hour and 100 Rockaroots over all. Hopefully this helps!
These things are incredibly bugged on mobile. Taming rates vary between equus and literally the same equus on the very same level. Bring more supplies than you believe you should.
Example: Dododex calc says you can tame a lv 270 equus with 1 dilo kibble on 8.75x (mobile soothing balm), I found a lv 250 equus, brought 7 dilo kibble, and used a balm. 1 kibble without mounting gives 28%, after mounting gives 14%. Heh.
Also, while riding these things to tame, swiping up repeatedly will get it to jump, and swiping down (or whatever button you use for kick) slows it down to a crawl. This may be beneficial for taming but it's still most likely a bug anyway since wiki doesn't list it.
Fricking Brontos and Rexs are easier to take then this
In order to tame an equus you will have to sneak up behind it and feed it Rockarrot and ride on it and again feed it rockarrot it will start moving but won't run to far when it trys to kick you off feed it another rockarrot and repeat it and boom you have tamed an equus do the pursuit tame equus to find it keep flying or walking and an arrow will appear showing its location and after you tame it with pursuit you will get its saddle the saddle will work as a mortar and pestle.
From the creators of Ford Mustang bring you ford equus
It will run half the map away from you
Until it runs into a Rex
A great travelling companion on many of the Ark maps. The Equus has a unique taming method, where you must walk up to it, feed it(their preferred food is Rockarrots), and ride it. The horse will attempt to buck you off, but when it does, press the prompted button and you will stay on and increase its taming percentage. You cannot control the horse while you are riding a wild one, so be sure to clear out the area you decide to tame it in.
You don't need to see were it went just get rockarrots and feed then ride keep feeding
And boom got yourself an equus.up so beginners can see
Here's a quick tip:
Don't mount an equus while trying to tame it.
Instead walk up to it (Don't let it bump into you) and feed it. Taming progress is twice as high when you tame them this way.
Been through scorched earth on a equus with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain. Cause in SE you can remember your name, cause there ain't no one for to give ya no pain. After 9 days I let the equus run free cause the desert had turned to sea. There were plants and birds and rocks and things, there was sand and hills and rings.
As a mobile player myself I suggest you other mobile players use crops to tame it but be careful once it sees you it'll run as far as the eye can see so just keep crouched adapt to it's movements and stay behind it until tamed
Also don't let anything hit it it'll reset the taming process
Hope this helps!
-randon guy you found on tips
These guys don’t need a saddle for you to ride them! Basically the only reason why you should get the saddle is cuz the saddle has a mortar and pestle in it. So for you low-levels, try to tame one of these as soon as you can. All you need is a few rockcarrots or berries(might take a while using berries) and you have an incredibly useful tame that runs fast and is able to carry a decent weight (somewhere around 350-450 kg).
Here’s how to tame an Equus:
1-Bring at least 50-100 rockcarrots, in case the Equus needed a lot of rockcarrots to tame, or if the rockcarrots spoil.
2-Wear full ghillie armor, and go to an area where Equus are located.
3-Sneak up behind it, don’t get very close or touch it, feed it the rockcarrots.(In Ark Survival Evolved Mobile, don’t mount it, because when you’re mounting it and feed it, the taming goes up by 2%, but feeding it while not mounting it, the taming goes up by 20%).
4-Don’t unlock the Equus saddle engram, the game will reward you with one when you’ve finished the pursuit.
And now… you have an Equus, with it’s saddle! Hope this helped!
