What is a equus used for? equus utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Didn’t think the torpor damage on this thing would be usable since the pachy and scorpion aren’t really so great for knocking out even though they can. The equus on the other hand has crazy good torpor damage with its kick attack like it can knock out anything if it has really good HP
Ok so this is my first tip on all Dododex, and I know this is not kinda useful, but what if u tame a whole herd of them, I have 19 bc I breed them, and then make a stable or barn and keep them there until u need them, then feed them and build wooden spikes around the stable or barn to keep them safe and paint the barn red like those u see on farms, right? I have done this before, IT IS VERY USEFUL and it protected my equus from allosauruses until I came with my Dienonychus (idk I forgot how to spell it) and killed it, u can do this if u don’t know a way to protect them. It’s simple to make just make this simple resources: wooden walls, slope wooden roofs, 2 gates and 2 gate holders, (I’m so lazy rn) and wooden pillars to divide ur horses. Idk if this was useful :( sorry for miss pronounced words I’m too lazy rn
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.
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.
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.
