Utility Tips

What is a equus used for? equus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Very good early tame! If you want one then go to the highlands in ragnarok, they are very rare on the island. There are carrots around there. If you see ruined walls then you may have stumbled on carrot city... if you find this place then gather all the crops there and go get yourself a level 150 equus! This is what I did and I have used it to tame all my creatures so far including purlovia, ptera, terror bird(lvl 150), beaver, cow/deer things and doedicurus. And if you don’t like it call it hamburger.
Excellent tame on mobile for knocking out other creatures. They inflict loads of torpor when melee damage is high, you can shoot from their backs, and they’re fast enough to escape nearly anything on the map. For me, they’re an incredibly useful tame and one of my favorites...especially when imprinted.
They are so underrated. I knock out everything with them! Tbh its boring to build traps over and over the map. And often its impossible to build traps because of the spam, especially in pve. And its an epic feeling to fight against a Rex only with your equus. And you can use the longneck riffle while riding. I even tamed an Argie. And used the lasso to bring the Argie out of the danger zone. Its also good for the deinos egg run on valguero.
When you have problems to tame a high level Equus and cant grap them whith a flyer, tame a low level and use the lasso to capture it and transport to a save place. Last Tip: you can find good saddles in green supply drops.
