Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
Why did no one tell me you need to be at least lvl 10 to be able to tame one? Yeah, you need to be at least lvl 10!
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
I recommend rockarrot for taming them it tames faster
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
For mobile players I found it easy to just pick these up with an argy drop it off at a safe location or a built trap and go from there. (They will run off when dropped with argy be aware where you are they like going into the water)
I'd say building the pen is best bet but why these gotta be so hard?Also how do you feed it while riding?
I know the pursuit says get 5 carrots, but you need lot’s more.
Make sure that you do not have your spyglass in your hand when hopping on the Equus. If you do, it will make you auto-look through it and you won't be able to put it away. You won't be able to see the feed prompt and will be kicked off. This just happened to me on a 150 Day is during x2 -_-
Just tamed a 290 with 100% effectiveness. It wasn't actually hard this time since I've learned how it behaves when I tamed a 40. I'm on mobile, so just keep your finger over where the rockcarrot is in your hotbar. When it's hungry a pop up will come exactly where something has spoiled pop up comes. Let it come every 40 seconds or so and tap on it once instantly. Yeah it could be a tedious process to keep the focus.
I'd suggest using a soothing balm to shorten the time and use your argy to bring it some place safe where you'll tame it and wear a ghilie to get close to it.
Please let others see. It's actually very easy to tame a higher level one without losing any effectiveness.
These guys are pretty annoying to tame but if using rockcarrot they are pretty much as good as your. P.S. get a farm early on and get you one of these NOW
Don’t use berries use carrots it’s way faster
On the ps4 you have to hold down triangle win it tells you to in the bottom right side hopefully this helps
Would really recommend using the carrots! It tames it much faster and oof i have lost about 6 unicorns because i got kick off and it ran away then died, dont be like me and just get it over with lol
I discovered it’s easier to tame a archy first then go find a equus, pick it up and take it back to a pen. That sounds dumb I know but it’s a guarantee tame success. The amount of times I have had them get eaten or run off a cliff drove me to this solution.
To tame a horse I would use a bird that can pick it up and take it to a pen where you could take it. And if you wanna use berry I would take 300 for a 145 to the lowest. I hoped I helped Somone that wanted a horse
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 :)
A pen does help taming Equus and can keep them from running into unsafe areas while you do, but you need to give them time in the game to calm down from being either dropped by a flyer or pulled by a lasso into the pen.
Once the Equus is in the pen leave it alone for an in-game day. Keep your tames and yourself away from the pen. Once it calms down, go in and tame like you normally tame an Equus.
Everything you need-
* crops (you can use berries but it only makes the tame bar go up 1%)
*patience
* no weight
...
When wanting to tame you have to find one, you can trap it into a place next to your house but when trying to tame you got to put your taming food to the last slot and crouch and go behind it, if on xbox press Y to feed and ride, if on computer press E to feed and ride and I believe you just press feed and ride for ark mobile.
When riding press Y to feed it, BUT only feed it when it's trying to kick you off otherwise it'll make you get off of it and the equus will run away, so feed it when it's mad, and just stay on it until it's tame bar goes up.
As far as I know the best maps to tame is lost Island but mostly Genesis pt 2.
There are 2 options to tame equips:
1.kill the allo near it and ride it
2.go find another equus that is not near an allo
Option 1 is the best cause finding another one will be very hard.
