Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
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 :)
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.
Kill the parent, steal the babies, very humane
I have learned they are not knockout tames 🙂
When taming am equus the therizinosaurus will leave you alone
The passive creatures that only attack people will leave you alone
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.
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!

In ark mobile, it’s is kinda tricky to tame one of these. Here’s how:
1# Don’t mount it, just sneak up on it and feed it rocketcarrots.
2# do that’s till it’s tame!
3# enjoy your new BFF!
Don't be like me, I waited hours looking for an Equus on my island. It was pain. Even on the Equus Spawns. I checked, checked a different spawn, came back, no Equus. I recommend for mobile players, go to redwoods, on the < left side where a mountain is at. Just wait a few minutes and 3 Equuses will spawn. If all three got killed, wait 1-2 Ark Days and come back to that same moutainous spot. 3 Equuses may spawn. But be careful and make sure to wipe predators out. Rexes, and huge raptor packs have a reputation to spawn. So be careful, and If you have an argy I recommend taking the equus out of redwoods.
Don’t know if this helps but there’s unlike the others in western zone a 3.000 percent chance of finding a Eques if I spelled it right and that’s 3% if you didnt know and like a 25% chance in the island 70% in south zone The island 0.0001% in red woods hope it helped?!!!
Easy steps for taming equus (ark mobile):
1.) if you don’t want to be eaten by other creatures around the area, just bring it to your base with an argy, optional if you want to put it in a taming pen (dino gates).
2.)if you have soothing balm it's much better, but if you don’t carrots are good enough.
3.) Ready your carrots and soothing balm in you hotbar and wear ghillie then approach it carefully from behind. But do the feed it right away cuz it will knock you out/off if you feed it then mount it. You have to firstly mount it the feed it.
4.) prepare to get dizzy lol
(Bonus tip: if you want to have it feed much quicker, after feeding it, spam jump cuz it drains its stamina and will be hungry after filling its stam.)
Reminder: when you drain its stam, then it says feed it, “dont” wait for it to stop running then you feed it.

Bring a tribemate with a fast tame to escort you when you're taming one.
You can get lucky solo, but they like to run to the most dangerous spot they can. Something like a carno or rex should be able to follow along with you and kill any threats to it.
DONT ride equus on mobile(to tame). It is safe to carry it through an argentavis and drop on a 4x4 taming pen. Just sneak up on its ass, never let it see you and feed it some dilo kibble/rockarrot. The tame equus pursuit says bring 5 rockarrots, nah they are tripping follow the dododex quantity food instead.
U may think mejoberies would be good for this but no definatley no use rockcarrots if u dont want to take 5 hours to tame this thing
Most of the time if you run and spam (y) they will tame right there on the spot
At 5% of time taming it took freaking forever
Equus are not the most essential tame, but their speed and torpor kick, as well as saddle crafting makes the a well worthwhile tame so here’s a guide to help you tame one for yourself.
1. Equus are an herbivorous passive tame that can eat berries or crops or kibble, however, using berries and crops besides rockarrots I would highly caution against because it tanks the effectiveness, and takes forever, increasing the risk of attack, and the Equus doing something dumb like swimming or running off a cliff while taming it.
2. Locate your desired Equus and clear the area of hostile dinos, to prevent the low tame effectiveness, reset of tame progress, or death of the Equus. If you are unable to kill problematic dinos, lure them away.
3. To tame an Equus, you will need to sneak up, preferably with ghillie, or sprint up really quickly and feed it. Immediately after feeding it you need to ride it, and then as it starts to buck and show a status message telling you to feed it to calm it, you need to feed it. Repeat until it is tamed. You will not be able to control it while riding so keep that in mind with hazards around the area such as water, cliffs and lava.
Happy taming!
You can pick them up with Argys and make a pen so you don’t have to risk death and you just need some Carrots
I had my argi and I picked it up and put it in a taming pen and feed it then Bam I had a level 500
I am playing on ark mobile meduim dif i was lvl 10 at the time make sure u lvl 10 or above they can't be tamed lower then that.

100% spawn at 53:32 at the left side of river where the redwoods is. If you stand on the beach with river in front of you and walk to the left till you find a small water gap that cut the beach to the next section and you start there and kill al the small stuff like dilos an bugs an walk back and forth from water gap to 53:32 you will get horse:) took me 10min and two spawned be calm they and do it they only have 1.8% to spawn and have at least 30+ carrots they take long to tame.
2.storie part 1
