Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
I have learned they are not knockout tames 🙂
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.
-Hopes this help
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!
When taming am equus the therizinosaurus will leave you alone
The passive creatures that only attack people will leave you alone
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.
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.
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.
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?!!!
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.
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!
Most of the time if you run and spam (y) they will tame right there on the spot
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
At 5% of time taming it took freaking forever
I’ve got the best tip to tame these things!! Make a 1 by 1 square with at least one double door on it and the rest walls. Or you could have all four walls be double doors! Easiest way is to pick it up and put it in the one by one or you could just chase it into it and shut the door! Now just stand on the outside of it and every time it lets you feed it just walk up to its face (still on the outside of it) and it should just let you feed it berries or kibble or whatever you’re using through the wall or double door! I’ve tamed 10+ of these and have always used this trick!!! Good luck taking! :D
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
Where to start so i began a new game and wanted to tame a equus coz it's a passive tame and rideable without saddle so i spawn in left upper corner of map and ran to 40:30 and just before it did persuits to get sleeping bag spear and armor plus chest so i run up search for them dont find for 5 in game days and dying to big dinos.look part2
Never try to tame a high level one unless you have smooth 15× otherwise the only thing you get is just some kicks!
So this was my deepest desire and bitterest lesson but once I worked it out the simplest tame ever. So Xbox version. Find your pony. Creep up, stay low have your carrots in the last slot on hot bar. Give carrot when prompted, jump on when prompted. Now he will go nuts bucking but keep your eyes on the bottom right screen. Soon as you see the yellow prompt press Y give him carrot. Higher the lvl the more shinnanagans - but truly... Just keep your eye on the flash of yellow. No need for trapping. Once you've got one the world is your oyster.
Kahl Drogo will give the iron throne to wildcard for this.
