What is a equus used for? equus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & 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.

Level Health and Stamina and a little bit of melee, up to 200 per kick and use to knock out literally everything. Can knock out whole heards of wolves and allos. Can even knock out a giga with high enough health. Remember to use a saddle for extra armor. Wont even need tranqs and horses can make narcotics with the saddle so it's an all in 1 taming machine.
Honestly one of my favorite mounts ever, my opinion could be biased since I love horses but me and my partner both find my Equus Phobos, very useful! I often use Phobos to knock out all sorts of creatures, including like Brontos and Rex’s, the taming part is tricky but honestly they’re a pretty nice mount, they also collect berries quite well, I often use my Equus for harvesting narco berries
