Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
Do not spook a unicorn. Still waiting for this 135 I found to de-spook, 40 mins later
If you want to nockout dinos than upgrade The damage.
If u don’t know there is a rare unicorn variant that only spawns 1 at a time (excluding tamed ones). Upvote to inform everyone
It's relatively easy to get one stuck on the wing of a wyvern. Land the wyvern and walk it so the horse is stuck on the outer wing, then hop on and do the whole tame while stuck in place. Put the wyvern on passive.
If you're on aberration you can grab it with a crab and feed it like any other passive tames cutting out the riding part and a possible bourse shoe black and blue on your face
Bring way more carrots than you'll need. Also, practice before on a regular Equus. Lastly, have someone to kill wild dinos because s single hit ruins the tame. Found a 130 wild unicorn and brought 100 carrots. Of course, I want doing great with effectiveness, but what ruined it was being attacked by an enraged ant eater. Kmocked me off and it despawned :'(
If you have a wyvern, you can pick them up and then drop them into a taming pen. Safe and easy.
If your looking for the only unicorn that spawns in at a time then your vest bets herba island get searching
Equus needs to be added to the knock out weapons, better than scorpion!
Be careful while taming I used up 16 rockarrots because of encounters with carnos.
On ps4 there is a problem with taming be sure to spam food after it's tamed or it will die of starvation
Took me 4 hours to find a lvl 10. Common spawn my @$$
so many kids trying to be funny and failing. how about you stop and rethink your life.
So iv got 3 equus now but i went though an encounter no one has mentioned. Someone was trying to tame a equus lvl 120 but they messed up a few times and didnt want the equus anymore for the bonus lvls was depleted for the most part and it was taking awhile with carrots. So a friend of mine on the server and i went to go get it and tame it but it wouldnt prompt the e feed or ride. We left and came but still nothing so my idea was force tame it to tranq it. Found out crossbow does to much damage almost killed it so we waited for it to heal and used darts that worked great but took a lot of them. So be aware for ppl on pvp servers they cant steal jump on the equus if you already have the only way for them to take it is to tanq it. Need to do some more testing to see about other methods.
Have someone pin it down with wyvern wing. 2nd person gets on and tames. No running around.
Tame in a paddock en only look tot the corner. And have much kibble
They very slow recommend move speed to replace flyers
Go up to it and feed it troodon kibble then ride it and feed it more when mounted when it goes on two legs feed it more kibble in till tamed. The percent of taming is at the bottom left of the screen
Passive tame; Sneak up on one and have taming food in you bar. It'll take you on a wild ride on it's back, run into all other creatures and aggro them if you're unlucky.
I recommend to tranq them, then build a wall around it. That way, when it wakes up, it can't run around like crazy. You'll need to feed it tame food whenever it asks for it while you're on it's back, or you'll fall off eventually.
So you go to ride it...then slowly feed it troodon kibble as it so gracefully jumps into the mouth of a trex...
