What are tips for rhyniognatha? Tips and strategies for rhyniognatha in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To be honest I am gonna take this with element all I need is 5 right? And this fits in two categories taming and funny. So thus far I have yet to run into this thing so if you play Lost Island please tell me where you find them.
I found a high level Yutyrannus, and tamed him. After that I turned Dino damage to 0 Dino resistance to zero (Ark ultimate mobile edition) and tryed to get him to my base (along with my newly tamed direwolf and not new argy) that happened to be on the island on the opposite side of the swamp. These could not damage it with melee, but 6 shot it with resin. I backed out of the game immediately and then killed the one I knew where it was at by jumping off my argentavis and shotgunning it (after I turned resistance to back to normal. Then I set the settings back to the original and 3 more came. Basically same solution, but please fix the rhynogantha from doing resin damage/kills when Dino damage is at 0.0 and stop them from spawning so much, it makes the game miserable.
Now that they've come out I've tested them a few times to try and see how they're tamed.
You wanna grab a tame (I used gigas), preferably with good stats and/or one you don't mind losing - and bring it to wherever they spawn on the map you're using. You should go off and kill a Rhynio (any gender) on your own first, or with said tame so that you can harvest a pheromone from its corpse. Once you have that pheromone, feed it to the tame and then go and find another Rhynio (I believe only females can infest your tames, correct me if I'm wrong!) And aggro it to your tame while the pheromone is affecting it. Keep your tame on passive and let the Rhynio do it's thing! You'll have to shoot the Rhynio while it attacks your Dino, and get it below and certain threshold of health. It'll then perform an animation as if it is about to spit resin, but will do some sort of dive/corkscrew into the tame and voila! Your tame is now infested. Your tame will receive strange cravings while it incubates the baby Rhynio, and they're strange. It can be stuff like element it wants, ranging from consumables like battle tartare to even ammonite bile and achatina paste, all kinds strange things. Once the incubation timer goes down, your tame will die and out will hatch a juvy Rhynio! They won't aggro onto you when you hatch them (at least not in my experience) so super easy to just run up and claim them!
You also can't breed them, I don't think. Doesn't let me anyway, which isn't fun.
No random guy, your sacrifice doesn’t need to be any gender.
Does your sacrifice have to be a certain gender? Like, seriously! Somebody please tell me.
Unfortunately, as of today’s date (April 4, 2025), on Ultimate Mobile Edition Rhynios are affected by a very pesky glitch: they refuse to follow you! That means when you’re raising one, just hope that they do not request to walk for imprint, because they will not move.
I discovered this the hard way when raising a low-level one that I call Boneglue— who earned his name because he would not move and it was like his bones were glued in place, and also because I was tempted more than once to turn him into cementing paste glue. (Not a terrible idea if you’re low on that stuff. Rhynios are surprisingly easy to obtain.)
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
Ok. One of these things killed my argy level 100 with 3000 health and she died so fast. So I came back to the swamp on Big Bill. My level 97 spino. I quickly got the pheromone then I went home got on Titan my bronto Bill followed us we sat at a red wood edge. We accidently killed the level 25 female but a level five impregnated Titan. I couldn't get any cravings the baby was born I named him Titan after his mom. And after giving him a saddle I killed 6 trikes before he was even level 10. TAME THESE BUGS
If you’re taming it on ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition (or new ark mobile), its spawn rate is bugged and instead of being as rare as intended, it’s EVERYWHERE. If you play on that version, fly extra high above the swamps when you travel.
Dude, these things have taken so many of my spinos and pts and argys these guys are so annoying like you cannot go into the redwoods because I’m trying to get a thylacoleo currently, and I can’t get it because I cannot get into the redwoods
1. They are not rare literally the swamp is theirs
2. They are fast as hell so you won’t able to cut them off
3. Their attacks are no joke, bro 1 shot my high level pt when we out of stamina and land, don’t even know if that’s sap or lava
When you wanna get rid of them, I haven’t tried, but you may lure them to a big dino like a bronto or something and wait for that them fighting then you shall run like your mom chasing you 🤦🏻♂️
I tried to do that with smaller stuffs but bro did not give up on me
I tamed one. Mother rhynio- lvl 125, surrogate mother-- lvl 205(base 193) bronto. I GOT LVL 31 Baby!!? Feels like I wasted my hard tamed bronto. For this low lvl I should have just used a trike.
On mobile they are NOT rare
if you seen one there is always one more waiting to kill you
you can't outrun it, if it agro on you kill it or leave your mount or lure it to nearby large dino
avoid it unless you are planning to tame it
They don’t have 900 base health, they have 1400 base health
