What is a equus used for? equus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Alright , so here’s how you’re gonna get yourself an Equus that can knock out everything from a Dilo to a lvl 135 Rex. Step one is, obviously, get yourself an Equus. They are commonly found in wide, open, grassy fields. To tame one, you have to sneak up behind it and feed it some food. Carrots are the best, besides kibble, but berries work on lower levels, too. After than, you have a short amount of time to mount the horse. When it kicks it’s legs back and nays, you have to feed it. Rinse and repeat until you have a horse. Then, level up it’s damage to around 250, you don’t want to kill you potential tame. You’ll also want to level movement speed and health. And that’s about it. You should also be careful when knocking things out with this thing. If you kick something while it’s unconscious, it could die, and if it doesn’t, it’ll ruin the taming effectiveness. Be especially careful when knocking out creatures trapped by the net projectile, as it can be hard to tell when their knocked out. Good luck, and happy taming.

Guys when you’re trying to knock out another creature with the equus kick, use your spyglass and do the alternate attack and you will be able to hit the creature multiple times in 2 seconds. It’s an incredibly useful trick and even I didn’t think it would work once I had the idea but I tested it on a parasaur and it worked! So try using this trick next time you run out of tranq arrows and have to use equus tip.
P.S. I don’t hv pc or console so plz know that it probably only works on mobile.
