Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
If you are a mobile player and you want to ride tame I recommend you bring four times the amount of rockarrots that is shown. When ride taming always passive feed first then jump and ride it. The tame time was also drastically lower than what was shown if you are ride taming, it took a little less than half of the shown tame time. The equus will also eat more often if you are ride taming and with rockarrots it stays at 100% taming effectiveness. Keep in mind the spoil time for rockarrots and bring extra rockarrots incase some spoil.
Apparently you press the same button to mount/dismount as you do to feed these things, so instead of feeding it, you get dismounted now. Big bummer because I found a Unicorn and I can't tame it... I'm going to check YouTube to see if anybody has tamed this thing yet...
Take a argentavis and take it home which is easy to tames these guys
They take a while to tame but are totally worth it ,
They are fast and strong and you can use a lasso while on it
To get 97% taming bonus feed it 10×soothing balm from piranha percuit and feed it carrots while riding.it running on circle so tame one when nobad thing near otherwise if it takes damage you lost bonus percentage.
Yall. This isnt simple. Only those who have actually tamed these know the pain. Ecspecially on mobile. Pain, and frustration.. Dismounting by feeding it rockarrots accidentally... PAIN. But they are worth it. Low hp, but massive torpor. Low attack too.. And also, they are fast, but at the same time slow, so I guess you could say their speed is MEDIUM. Also, they run so close to danger, you sometimes sweat in rl Happened for me)..
A Rex was easier to tame then this guy
Taming it is fairly easy. First they are unique passive tame. They do take rockarots as the second best feed from troodon kibbles. Thou the type of food you feed them doesn't affect the taming effectiveness, it's best to use their preferred food to reduce time spending on their back taming it. It's effectiveness depend solely on how many times you fall off its back. So, get sneaky and sneak up on them, put food in 0 shortcut slot. feed them the first one and move closer to ride. Look at the bottom left of the screen. When it promts to be fed again, press e to keep it calm. Beware, pressing e when it does not want treat will unmount the tame and you will lose effectiveness by a lot. It is recommened to use quetzel to bring it to your own taming pen. During the tame it will run pointlessly in any direction and may run into predators if taming in wild. If you happen to do so in the wild, take another tribe mate with you to take care of the surroundings.
make sure you have carrots, they like very much, to catch an Equus as soon as you simply approach from behind and ride them if they try to endanger you feed a carrot🥕🥕
Thanks dododex
Tbh, the equus has a terrible spawn. It spawns near almost anything dangerous you can think of.
When you see a dead equus on the ground it means run for your life there was a family of Rex's so there's your tip.
It’s not too easy to find an equus on the island, when you do, they are normally in dangerous areas such as near swamps, ravines, in the depths of the jungle, and grasslands/fields. So I’d say hop on argentavis and carry it, fly home or to an enclosed structure and drop it off there, making it easy for you to keep it and you safe AND if it kicks you off, it can’t run far! And if you’re looking for rock carrots to tame it with, I’d say grow them, inside a greenhouse for a 2x growing effect, I make more than 200 rock carrots off of one plant! ~Hope this helped!
Like if this was helpful!~
333 yes! I have seen near where. River splits on an island I call equus island
Anyone else not able to stay on them on Xbox. Kicks me off everytime I’ve tried multiple different horses
Btw have a argy when taming and drop it into house with a open roof
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.
It's got a lot of horsepower so you can out run the fastest of dinos.
i tamed one of these guys and i named it [It looks like a zebra more than a horse]
raising its baby is much easier
When you riding it just let a friend feed him,it works 👍🏻
