Tips & Strategies

What are tips for rhyniognatha? Tips and strategies for rhyniognatha in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
nah i was just trying to go to north to get argies (i got them eventually so im not that mad) and i flew over swamp. BIG mistake. two spawned killed my best pt and me and i had to run back with no gear to get my old gear, i did get it so its ok!! but i had no more pt saddles and had to go to north on a pela. took WAY too long. definitely avoid swamp on ultimate mobile edition, take different way to redwoods!! (please.. dont loose ur pts or argies)
Idk what the devs were thinking when they made up the taming process on this thing 😭
I was flying on my pt once, unfamiliar that these even existed (I’m used to old Ark mobile) and it killed my damn pt, I was left stranded with some metal tools and was attacked by raptors, boas, dilos, bugs, and compies. All which I somehow survived as I watched in horror as “Your Pteranodon Icy -lvl 32 was killed by lvl 3 - Rhyniognatha”. I later once I had spent 2 hours trying to find Silicon for spino saddle suited up my 250 melee Spino and encountered an alpha carno which we killed. I felt overly confident and decided swamp was next to be conquered and so we went to swamp and 3 Rhyniognatha’s attacked my Spino and I. I underestimated their power and my Spino and I both met our fate even after killing the first 2. The 3rd one was smart but annoying because it hovered in the air shooting balls of fire and shards at us which soon ended my poor spino “Venom”. You will be missed venom, you were a good girl, best spino I’ve tamed in this run. -MistyRex
Steps to Tame
1. Kill male to get pheromone.
2. Use a large Dino… Rex, Giga, Spino, etc.. base stats that I know of count for a better baby bug. Put this Dino on Passive.
3. Find a Female.
4. Set up a trap using about 6-7 stone Behemoth structure close together, put gates on the ends. I use Tek gate much easier. Leave small gaps to go in and out of.
5. Lure female into gate and shoot with net gun. .
6. Grab your Dino that is on passive and walk it in and close and lock the gates. Try to use a Dino that has decent health.
7. Use Magnifying glass and look at health. You need to get it down to 10% remaining. Use net gun to check health and take your time, have a sleeping bag near by in case you die.
8. Feed your Dino the pheromone, and watch the tail of the bug glow, after it should go to your Dino and impregnate it.
9. Thats it, for breeding it will need a lot of food and some way to heal your Dino like a snow owl, or just force feed it food. Your Dino will want a lot of different things, like kibble, soups, I heard gasoline too lol.
Cheers and Good Luck.
A similar level spino with at least 2000 health should be able to beat one of these buggers if fought only on ground close range
Lost my 157 pt to these trying to get crystal in redwoods they are pure evil 0/10
I was flying on top of the redwoods swamp and then on agro to me and it kill me , my argy, and I lost all my inventory, that included a lvl105 megatherium(pest control) that was in a cryopod, and two more empty cryopods.They also be in packs of two to three so be ware. R.I.P (pest control). Sincerely from: Anthony the Dino tamer
No random guy, your sacrifice doesn’t need to be any gender.
They are just not flying bugs one of them killed ALL my dinos with ease getting that pheromone wont be easy
Literally a bomber plane nukes you with fireballs there is not escape
These things are starting to spawn in non swamp areas. I believe they are supposed to spawn in the swamp areas around the redwoods but it seems they either spawn farther or wander because I’ve been seeing these a lot in areas that should be peaceful. By the way these things are not rare and normally come in packs of 2-3
Best thing to do is to have a harpoon with net attachments,net it, take it down to 10 percent health, un cryo a decent sized dino n fees it the pheromone,when its out the net it will lay eggs instantly,.... Also don't cryo the dino after it will stop the incubation completely
Does your sacrifice have to be a certain gender? Like, seriously! Somebody please tell me.
Don’t try to outrun on a pteranodon! You will die very VERY fast!
Don't worry if they don't impregnate your sacrificial lamb even if they are under the 10% or less health. What you should try to do is sit on your sacrificial lamb and move it here and there and eventually it will impregnate it
For those that don’t know it will eat through the food f the tame you’re using, so have lots of food ready. I used a Bronto with 46.8k food and it was depleting it in 3 mins. Veggie Cakes help keep its HP up too so you can finish the gestation.
They are faster then anything else and can pretty much 3 shoot many times. Just why wildcard
