I always find myself in the beginning of a new map trying to find an equus. In my opinion it’s super useful as a mortar and pestle replacement with its saddle equipped. Definitely a good option as one of your first tames if the map you’re on has them.
Equus
The Equus is a horse-like creature that can be mounted with special saddles. While mounted, survivors can use whips and lassos.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Equus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If your on mobile and can’t find one of these guys start the tame equus pursuit and walk or fly around the island and eventually a arrow will show up on the top left of your screen. If you follow that then you will find an equus or two. Upvoote if you found this helpful.
I am literally lost in the desert on a horse with no name.
I usually build a simple fence foundation and railing pen to use for passive tames. Then I’ll just take an Argy or a Dino able to carry them and drop them into the pen. That way they cant run half way across the map.
Noted: Where There Is Equus There Is Allo , Where There Is Allo There Is Tears. Ty For Reading! ♥️
Here's how you tame an equus in ark mobile:
Step 1 : Do not mount on the equus. For some reason, the ark mobile equus don't like it. It increases taming with rockarrots like 2% and not mounted taming makes it 20% ( level 15)
Step 2 : Feed it rockarrots from a…
Here's how you tame an equus in ark mobile:
Step 1 : Do not mount on the equus. For some reason, the ark mobile equus don't like it. It increases taming with rockarrots like 2% and not mounted taming makes it 20% ( level 15)
Step 2 : Feed it rockarrots from a safe distance. Don't let it see you. You can approach their hind legs (dont touch them) and feed rockarrots. Otherwise it runs away.
Step 3 : If it runs away, just don't follow it, just see where it is going. If it loses aggro. It will not stare at you. Then feed it again
Step 4 : A good tip is to enable the 'Tame: Equus' pursuit so you save engrams for equus saddle and get one for free.
Follow the process for mobile and bam!! You got yourself an equus
When you try to tame these guys, go up to the back and bring at least 2 stacks of mejoberries. Also if you see one near an allo just get away from it, it has a 0% chance of living. Hope this helped and thanks for having the time to read my tip
This stinking thing!!! So annoying!!! I was taming it on a cliff and I was a bit slow and it knocked me off. RIGHT INTO A SWAMP. I swear, while everything was eating me, sarcophagus, titanoboa and mega parana, I saw it laughing at me.
Never try to tame an equus with 9 rocarrots while surrounded by a spino, a rex and a therinozaur.
Equus are quite possibly the most underrated tame in the game. Their kick immediately does ~3x their attack damage in torpor, and the cooldown between kicks is almost nonexistent. One 2nd generation equus from a high level pair can KO almost any land KO tame in the game in…
Equus are quite possibly the most underrated tame in the game. Their kick immediately does ~3x their attack damage in torpor, and the cooldown between kicks is almost nonexistent. One 2nd generation equus from a high level pair can KO almost any land KO tame in the game in under a minute, only excluding gigas and a few dinos like gallimimus whose torpor is unnaturally high compared to hp. You'll probably be looking at around 200-300 torpor per kick on a bred, unmutated horse, depending on levels. Imagine how high you could get it through mutations.
I use these to tame Rexes, Therizinosaurus, Yutyrannus, Griffins, etc. Never breaks a sweat. I recommend gate trapping dinos with knockback attacks, flight, and other abilities though. Trap yourself in with the dino so you can keep kicking without getting flung around. Once you get an equus, you'll never need to spend resources on tranqs again.
As a bonus, these guys are a lifesaver when it comes to getting KO'd dinos out of sticky situations. The lasso lets you drag KO'd dinos around, meaning you can stop that quetz from drowning, or pull the dino you just KO'd out of the hole in the mesh it fell in. Plus their saddle acts as a mortar and pestle if you forgot to bring narcotics along, and they can gather the narcoberries for you just fine.
Level health and attack. Have fun playing with Ark's best kept secret.
These guys are easy to tame low level but a 150! The tame percentage drops as the horse runs do good luck ever taming a high level one. Unless! You knock it out build a box around it wait for it to wake up and the tame to your hearts content.
A pain in the backside to tame on mobile
They can walk up stairs.
Not sure what to do with that information...
When taming the equus on Xbox One, when it says to use the E button, you must press Y for it to feed when it bucks.
I had a hard time with this
Best for knockouts!!! Dose lots of torpor.
1.get a argy
2.find Equus with argy
3.pick up Equus with argy
4.drop into a taming pen
5.get a buttload of rockcarrots
6.tame your Equus
Only one unicorn Equus can exist at a time in a world, so start looking!
You can feed it then use a bola (which doesn’t lower effectiveness) and after that use fence foundations and walls to keep it in place and ride it for the duration of the tame. No need for it to run around randomly.
Give it a lick. It tastes just like raisins. It's amazing.
Feed it then mount. You won't be able to control it until the tame is done, dismounting appears to lower taming effectiveness so make sure you have a good supply of carrots (preferred food) on you. When it starts to buck you off you have to hit enter to feed it again. If…
Feed it then mount. You won't be able to control it until the tame is done, dismounting appears to lower taming effectiveness so make sure you have a good supply of carrots (preferred food) on you. When it starts to buck you off you have to hit enter to feed it again. If you pay attention to the bottom left corner of your screen there will be a tool tip that will pop up when you can feed it abs just before it starts bucking.
Good luck and good hunting.
