Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Not every creature can “eat” the pheromone that the males drop.. like this tip so Dododex can see and add which creatures can eat it and which ones can’t.
I know some that cannot:
Megatherium
Stego
Tek Creatures
Anky
Doeds
Sarco
Baryonyx
Carno
Managarmr
Some that can eat:
Wyverns
Rex
Quetzal
Maewing
Trike
With more testing we could have it set up fully and implemented into DodoDex
Pro tip: NEVER under ANY circumstances fly a PT anywhere NEAR the swamp. Dododex says they are rare, but you can get four swarming you at once. This will save your life, controller, and pt.
If you’re trying to find it in Ragnarok (Mobile) they don’t exist there.
Don't forget you guys, we can craft insect repellent to appear invisible to these guys!! This trick also works for taming Scorps or Spiders with rotten meat. Bump it to the top for those who are rusty!
How to easily tame one for early access to end-game transportation:
Things needed: spyglass, tamed trike, trike saddle, sword, simple pistol, at least 50 simple bullets
Recommended player level: level 35
1. Tame any trike then after its tamed ride it and destroy trees or kill creatures until it gains enough exp that you can pump several to a dozen levels in health into it.
2. Go to the swamp and find a rhynio, then target it with the spyglass to check if it's male or female and what level it is, obviously don't get close enough that it starts chasing you.
3. Assuming the rhynio is low level and male then you are set to kill it, but if it is too high of a level to kill or female then find a new one. Many tips will say just to kill it but never actually explain how to before it can kill you, so here's an actual good way to kill it:
4. Equip the sword and simple pistol in your hotbar, mount your trike then find the rhynio, aggro the rhynio using the pistol and magdump it until the rhynio gets close enough and starts attacking your trike, then equip your sword and start swinging at its face as much as you can until it dies while your trike tanks the damage. If it starts shooting resin at you then switch to your pistol and start shooting at it (This requires quick and precise aim as the rhynio can move from spots quickly while it is shooting resin). After it dies open its inventory and take its rhyniognatha pheromone.
5. After you take the pheromone, you can wait for your trike to heal while watching the spoil timer of the rhynio pheromone then find a low level female rhynio, feed the pheromone to the trike if it hasnt spoiled yet, then do the same attack process described in step 4 but don't damage it so much that it dies, you can then wait for the rhynio to impregnate your trike then it will fly away.
6. You can choose to satisfy the trike's cravings or not, but since this is a beginners' tip it wouldn't matter if you did or not. Put a lot of berries in the trike's inventory, then you can just wait until the gestation timer finishes and your trike dies.
7. After your trike dies and your juvenile level 1 rhynio pops out and lands somewhere near where your trike was, put enough raw meat in it's inventory for it to last until it becomes an adult and you can imprint it if you want the damage and resistance buffs.
8. You now have a tamed rhynio, end of tip.
9. Just kidding, while you wait for your rhynio to mature you can grind explorer notes until you get to level 91, (takes around 20 on singleplayer) and since the rhynio's maturity timer takes so long you might even be able to craft the saddle before it reaches adulthood.
10. When your rhynio reaches adulthood you now have a flyer that is faster than a quetzal, has more weight than a quetzal, can pick up almost all land creatures in the game, and cannot be attacked by most aggressive creatures unless you attack them first.
Note that since you have a level 1 rhynio you should avoid fighting other rhynios, as it can easily be killed if 2 or more rhynios attack you at once
I was just flying near the redwoods to looks around when one of these freaks pulled up on me and my pt. I didn’t realize they were in the new mobile version so I screamed and tried to run away (it caught up) and I had to dismount my pt and run for it. DO NOT GO NEAR ANY SWAMP UNLESS YOU’RE PREPARED. THEY ARE SCARY.
Pls for the love of god.
Dont ever get close. Those things can one shot a bronto whit resin💔
Before you tame you need to know that they kill your tame after its been impregnated
TAMING
- Get a TRIKE that you DON’T love
- Bring it to the Swamp
- Kill a MALE Rhyniognatha
- Bring a FEMALE semi-close to your Trike
- GET THE FEMALE BELOW OR EQUAL TO 100 HP
- FEED the Trike the PHEROMONE you got from the MALE
- IT WILL IMPREGNATE THE TRIKE
- YOUR TRIKE WILL REQUEST 5 DIFFERENT FOODS
(YOU DONT HAVE TO FEED IT THE FOODS BUT IT WILL HEAVILY IMPACT THE LEVELS AND STATS)
- Once the timer hits 0:00 Your Trike will go UNCONSCIOUS AND DIE
AND THERES YOUR BABY RHY 🥳 (R.I.P Rex lvl 72)
Reasons why you should tame this:
1. It can gain food by eating berries and meat since it's an omnivore
2. Since it also eats meat that means you can heal it fast by spam feeding cooked meat on it for 10 hp per cooked meat
3. Its saddle has 2 seats so you can bring a buddy with you while riding it
4. You can equip weapons while riding it
5. It has the most weight of any flyer on the island with 1100
6. It has more hp than a rex with 1400 if you're on ase, 900 on asa
7. It is able to carry almost all land creatures except brontos, gigas, and carcharos
8. It is able to scare off almost al land creatures with its roar besides diplos, paracers, brontos, gigas, and carcharos
9. It can fly and walk in all directions including backwards
10. It can swim in water and has 800 oxygen, meaning that it has capabilities similar to a spino
11. It can land on top of water and glide on it like a bloodstalker
12. It can move its entire body to turn where your camera moves
13. It is the 2nd fastest island flyer in the game only bring 15% slower than a tamed pteranodon
14. It can attack on land and does so faster than in the air
15. When you dismount you will be standing on top of the rhynio instead of falling to the ground
16. It will automatically regenerate stamina passively even in air if you are off of it
17. It is an apex predator so if you are riding on it almost all aggressive land dinos will not attack you unless you attack them first except for allos, spinos, yutys, rexes, gigas, carcharos, megatheriums, and other rhynios.
18. You always have an opportunity to imprint it when you tame it
19. It has an ability which can make it take 40% less damage which is resin armor
20. It can shoot resin projectiles that can do 75 damage or more, and can immobilize even the biggest creatures.

Rhyniognatha is a species of insect from the Early Devonian period, around 400 million years ago. It is considered to be one of the earliest known relatives of modern insects. It was added to ARK: Survival Evolved on June 2, 2023 after winning the Community Vote contest on February 10, 2023, but details on its in-game function and capabilities have not been revealed yet. Given the limited information on the real-world insect, it's unclear how might ARK might interpret this creature, however, the winning entry depicted it as massive and rideable, with the ability to carry a Rex or even a Plesiosaurus. Concept art by Zichfried
What does a Rhyniognatha eat? In ARK: Survival Evolved, the Rhyniognatha eats Shadow Steak Saute, Battle Tartare, Calien Soup, Enduro Stew, Focal Chili, Fria Curry, Lazarus Chowder, Woolly Rhino Horn, Sweet Vegetable Cake, Absorbent Substrate, Black Pearl, Element, Ammonite Bile, Superior Kibble, Exceptional Kibble, Extraordinary Kibble, Giant Bee Honey, Quetzal Egg, Golden Hesperornis Egg, Achatina Paste, Carcharodontosaurus Egg, Gasoline, and Giganotosaurus Egg.
