Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
I was taming one of these things, and I decide to count the time between each feeding on mobile it was around from seven seconds to 41 seconds for anyone that’s curious most of the time it was in the 20s
(This is approximately so it would probably be different for you)
My Equus was a pain but I got it by my argentavis
Horse taming: in two different methods.
Method 1, the cheap method.
You shall need:
Rockarrots, Ghilli suit, Dangerous mount or weapon, (I used a level 90 therizinosaur and a master-craft sword) A flyer like a PT or argy.
Use your flyer to locate a horse. I found three near rock edge at the bottom of the island map near all those beaver dams. As the Equus lives near the swamp, use your dangerous mount or weapon to kill all the titanoboas, terror birds, raptors, etc. Then crouch up behind the Equus and mount it like you would on a tame! Tame the rockarrot you put in your hotbar, wait till it’s hungry again and repeat!
Method 2 the RG method.
You will need an RG, 2 wood foundations, 10 wood doorframes and 2 walls, rockarrots.
Place the trap in a 1 by 2 box without a roof and put the walls at the front of the trap. When you find your horse carry it with the argy back into the trap. Make sure the horses head is facing the walls. Land your argy a distance away, mount the horse like in method 1, and feed it rockarrots.
Equus uses:
You can ride a horse without a saddle but I recommend you have a saddle because it works as a mobile mortar and pestle. TO MOBILE PLAYERS: don’t use engram points to learn how to make the Equus saddle before you do the tame Equus persute! You get a journeyman saddle as a reward.
They have two attacks, a headbutt that deals more melee, and a back kick that increases the victim’s torpor. The Equus is also very fast, can jump a lot, has brilliant stamina, and a weight reduction for chemicals like narcotics and stimulants.
Thanks for reading!
To tame these is what I did I brought them to my base where my friend gave some balm and it tamed instantly so always use MAJOR SOOTHING BALM
Like if helpful :)
When taming these guys, I recommend two things:
1. Get it in a taming pen either by carrying it and dropping it in or by knocking it out and building the pen around it.
2. Bring at least a full stack of carrots —they spoil kinda quick, plus they only give a tiny bit of progress.

To tame these guys, you need to go and find a place where you know they spawn, then make a four by four structure two walls high. And then get a argaventise and grab the equus, then put it in the safe structure, nothing SHOULD see you if you stay inside with the equus, but, they usually need rockarrots, but sometimes other things, but I would suggest get some seeds and grow atleast 50 carrots, then when you have your taming food, you can either wait a while for them to get hungry each time, or every minute or two mount them, feed them quickly, then get off, if you do everything correctly you should get your horse! Goodluck! Hope this helped!
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!

Taming a equus is a passive tame not a knock out. You'll need to make a trap so it won't run off and get killed. You'll need as much berries as the DeX says. And have a ghillie suit to not spook it.But in case you accidently mount off and lose some taming effect have some more berries with you just in case. This is how I did it.
Don’t breed these. They take forever, your better off just getting carrot seeds and taming another one.
Xbox one: as soon as you mount you need to feed again straight away otherwise you're dumped.
Something with EQUUSES is that they tend to appear in areas by shores and in dangerous areas so when you taming them make sure you have at least 65 rockoroots because some EQUUS take longer or shorter to tame and bola it so it doesn’t jump of a cliff and it hells a lot when you have God Consle because when a dangerous animal comes you can kill it Ty for reading have a good day🥰😁
Btw have a argy when taming and drop it into house with a open roof
A Rex was easier to tame then this guy
Take a argentavis and take it home which is easy to tames these guys
333 yes! I have seen near where. River splits on an island I call equus island
You can pick this creature up with a wyvern and quetzal I tried it
1. Build a 4 by 4 wooden wall or stronger (not thatch)
2. use a arventavis to pick up a equus
3. put equus in the pen or chamber what ever you want to call it
4. then just equip rockarrots
5. then do the rest
Does anyone know what it means when you tame it and it says lazy equus?(does it mean anything)
If you have a argen or quez, you can carry it to the volcano.
After that, go behind it and feed carrot. While Equus is eating, you can ride it. Repeat feeding carrot until it is tamed. Hope you enjoy the game and have a nice day. Bye Bye
Firstly, why did it take 8 dilo kibble and 20 rockarrots to tame a level 3... Dododex said it would take 1 kibble but that’s alright I happened to have a rockarrot farm for this reason lol. Taming the horses is difficult because they kept spawning by rexs and scorpions but they tent to run in small circles for me. Bring lots of carrots!
