Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
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
Y’all is that thing on survival evolved as well?
Don't have your dino eat the Pheremone and the cryo it. I tryed doing this and It lost the pheremone effect (to my knowledge).
These are NOT on ARK mobile, don't waste ur time trying to find one. ^ for other mobile players to see
Taming these things are confusing, but I believe I have figured out how they work.
Step 1 is to kill a wild rhynio (can be any gendrr) to get the pheromones, next it is best to make a trap, the best design i know of is basically a stone dino gate griffin trap, but with behemoth gates. Next you want to find a high level wild female rhynio. Think of the level of the rhynio as the taming effectiveness you will recieve 150 being max. Next you need to lower the rhynio to below 10% hp, you can net them to make this easier. Once it is below 10% hp you need a mount with a high drag weight in order to inherit the best stats, carch/giga have best chances. Feed the creature the phermone and mount it. The rhynio should impregnate it within a few seconds. DO NOT CRYOPOD THE DINO IT IMPREGNATED! YOU WILL LOOSE THE BABY! once your tame is impregregnated it will go through a gestation period and ask for cravings. It is important you furfill as many as possible as they have a major effect on the level the offspring will be and the stats inherited. Once the timer is complete your dino will fall unconscious and die, however you will now have a new perfect tame rhynio!
All of the currently known cravings for host creatures include
Giga eggs
Carchars eggs
Quetzal eggs
Golden hesperornis eggs
All kibbles
Shadow steak saute
Fria curry
Enduro stew
Focal chilli
Lazarus chowder
Veggie cakes
Black pearls
Achatina paste
Gasoline
Element
Rhino horns
Ammonite bile
Bee honey
Battle tartar
I play on the Island map on single player. I killed two of these and never saw another.
Just a quick tip, Now only males will drop pheromones,
DONT KILL THE FEMALES!!!
Use a direwolf on ark ascended to easily tell when it is below 10% health
Ooh I cannot wait for this to be added! Able to swim (presumably) fly, and pick up rexes, it seems like an insanely cool mount! Also I'm pretty sure I'm first tip!
So... Anyone waste 3 hours of their life looking for one and losing a dino because they dont know how to walk around trees and rocks?
It’s just came out with the new update.To tame it is kinda like the reaper.But instead of u getting impregnated it’s ur Dino but use a disposable Dino as once it gives birth the creature dies.from my own experience you need to kill one then get its pheromone gland then feed it to I am pretty sure ur creature once u found one u want to tame then find one u want to tame then eat the gland then keep attacking it until it impregnates u then u have to wait for a bit and u need to feed ur dino random things cuz it craves stuff.What I got was black pearls Lazarus chowder and absorant.I think the more u feed it the more older the baby is once it bursts from ur dinos chest then u need to raise it from there
I never tamed one but a good way to tame it is to shoot a chain bolla at it and then you can just trap it in stone gate ways and let your firearms do the rest.Once it’s low bolla it again let it free,use a brontosaurus and make it eat the pheromone then it should impregnate your brontosaurus.Recommend killing it after because sometimes it comes back for you.
They spawn in the swamps on both the island and lost island, (no other maps unfortunately). The swamp up near the flat area and griffin mountain is where they are found on lost island, NOT the jungle. This is considered a late-game tame, and if you do get one of your dinosaurs impregnated, DO NOT cryo it cuz the baby will die. Hoped this helps and happy taming!
to get a high level it depends on the host dino, the best ones are gigas, carchas, and brontos at the top. and rhynios get stats based on the host. even being said, its not guaranteed the stats such as it might not get the 30 points into health that the host dino had to put it into a example, and another factor is you have to give the host cravings. if not it might not be a max level either, they also dont get the hosts speed stat, their cravins contains: carcha egg, quetz egg, giga egg, golden egg, all the rockwell recipes and i mean all, element, absorbent substrate, black pearls, and gasoline. if helpful punch the sky

Abilities (as of the release of the dossier)
- Arthropleura will sometimes drop an enzyme that works in conjuntion with rhyniognatha glue to form a projectile similar to baboon dung.
- Can glue itself to creatures & cargo (maybe it really can carry much larger dinos)
- Rhyniognatha also have a resin that hardens it shell for a boost, and can shoot resin to either be a literal chaingun, or can help to slow down predators. It’s safe to say that this chunky earwig will be ark’s AH-64 Apache.
- The males release a pheromene that attracts egg laying females to lay their eggs into the “host”. The item can presumably be dropped by dead male rhynio’s. This can be used to mark hosts for the females. This is the wa of taming them. It’s not known if certain creature hosts will improve the taming effectiveness though.
- Screw calling the pest control. The new concept is still very large.
