They have horrible health in my opinion they die super easily it’s insane. Half of the time they die and I don’t realize even if you have high level Dino’s with you when traveling with a equus. Also they are super hard to tame once when I was trying to tame a equus it ran all the way to the ocean jumped into the water and was devoured by sharks. Ps when taming I would suggest having 70 carrots with you just in case you probably won’t use all of them though.

When the winged hussars arrived

A cry for help in time of need, await relief from holy league

60 days of siege, outnumbered and weak

Sent a message to the sky, wounded soldiers left to die

Will they hold the wall or will the city fall

Dedication

Dedication

They're outnumbered 15 to one

And the battle's begun

Then the winged hussars arrived

Coming down the mountainside

Then the winged hussars arrived

Coming down they turned the tide

As the days are passing by and as the dead are piling high

No escape and no salvation

Trenches to explosive halls are buried deep beneath the walls

Plant the charges there and watch the city fear

Desperation

Desperation

It's a desperate race against the mine

And a race against time

Then the winged hussars arrived

Coming down the mountainside

Then the winged hussars arrived

Coming down they turned the tide

Cannonballs are coming down from the sky

Janissaries are you ready to die?

We will seek our vengeance eye for an eye

You'll be stopped upon the steps of our gate

On this field you're only facing our hate

But back home the sultan's sealing your fate

We remember

In September

That's the night Vienna was freed

We made the enemy bleed!

Storm clouds, fire and steel

Death from above make their enemy kneel

Today I tamed an Equus. Lvl 435 on Ark mobile, in the wild, with 100% efficiency using soothing balm and Rockaroots (DO NOT MOUNT ON MOBILE, I will explain why later in the text) + 1 dilo kibble.

I got lvl 652 (+217 levels), and I must say - this is a great begginer>middle game mount. It's buck kick gives a lot of torphor (mine has 835% melee, up it to get even more torphor per hit), swipe up for a special attack (buck kick).

It can jump pretty high, doesn't take fall damage (Tested it above western southern cave, a.k.a - the lava cave - and it didn't take any damage with 145 armor saddle gotten from the pursuit).

So - why shouldn't you mount Equus while taming on Ark mobile?

1. It lowers efficiency. Taming using soothing balm doesn't work either, the effect gets lost.

6.4% per rockaroot unmounted, 2.4% mounted with efficiency falling by 20% each time.

2. You will need a LOT of rockaroots.

3. Soothing balm won't help in maintaining efficiency rate.

In conclusion, Equus are very hard to tame on mobile (if you want a perfect, high level tame like I wanted), but with patience and a lot of crouching behind its back to feed it, you will get an interesting mount that also acts like mortar and pestle.

Worst option ever for taming on mobile. You need to get too close to it to feed, and it will get spooked and run far away if you or your mount get too close. Plus, when tamed, it's only good for knocking small animals, ascendant bow + tranq arrows are WAAAAAAY better. Low health, slow move speed... Don't waste your time. This guy should get a buff or something, cause it's completely useless, wild or tamed.

I just spent an hour taming one, and im disappointed. Its not fast, the health is lower than my other tames, and while it can carry a good amount, id rather just use a flying mount for transport; theyre faster and aren’t confined to the ground, so you only need to worry about argies while flying.
