Here's just some things I've learned while taming these huge bugs.

•If you don't have something like a giga/carcha to impregnate, the 3rd best option would be a Brontosaurus for best stat quality for your baby bug. Though actually getting one to the Rhyniognatha will be quite difficult as you can't simply cryopod it and throw it once you found your Rhyniognatha (as of the Cryofridge and cryopod change in ASA). So you may need to walk it through the entire swamp...

• Keep your shoulder pets passive! This won't affect you if your using a large dino such as those listed above, though if using something smaller (though this is not recommended, most smaller dinos can't even consume the pheromone), you need to have your shoulder pets on passive so they don't attack the Rhyniognatha. I once did this mistake, and as I was going to feed my dino a pheromone, my otter on my shoulder killed the Rhyniognatha as it was on Attack Target.

•Final one, be fully prepared! Bring your pheromone and your creature your willing to impregnate before searching for a Rhyniognatha. This is because these guys love to aggro absolutely everything and get themselves killed, so if you went back to stock up on everything you need once you found one, chances are it is already dead.

Wish you luck!

I lost 2 T. rex, 5 raptors, 1 Stego, 1 trike, and 2 pt to these things… I just want to know how to kill this buggers 😢

If u are just a noob run that's all I can say

They are rare? I got like 3k chitin by killing ones near green oblysk and they come in packs of 3-4.(at least on mobile) so…

Get a very high level tanky megatherium and wander on edges of swamp and redwood near green oblysk.

Congratulations now you have thousands if chitin.

4 of this insects chase me on my argy with 40pts to movement speed somehow they can still hit me with meele attacks lucky it argro to a racer... Rip racer tnx

When tamed, one of these freaks can rule the water, land and sky. These things breeze through hordes of rexes and (when leveled up) have enough stamina to travel across the map in 1-2 stops. Their sheer strength allows them to carry an absurd about of materials that is great for resource farming at far away places! It can also pick up most of the creatures allowing for crazy combos like holding a diplo with an army of passengers seated on its saddle or even carrying ankys to and from the volcano. Amazing tame!

Just came here to know about this fker after getting me and my Pterror (Ptero) killed. Run, the moment you see this devil, don't think twice, just RUN, I learned it the hard way

These guys can dive underwater without knocking you off! 😀

Bring a comically large fly swatter.

Can fly forwards & backwards and also strafe

Those bugs are nothing to mess around with; I just lost my Argy.

You don't need to incubate at random dangerous places. Just place your host at your base and then aggro rhyniognatha with high level and mov speed sometime it will distracted but you have to agree again until your reach your base and make sure other dinos are passive and then proceed further and this way you can focus on cravings more efficienctly

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).

Option A is to kill them in ark ultimate survivor edition you need a ascendent long neck, ascendent crossbow, ascendent metal bow and some metal arrows then tame a bunch of pts and make them aggro on the rhyno then use your ranged weapon or option 2 sacrifice one of your flying tames then run far ASF from the attack or 3 just make them attack something large like a paraceratherium or a dilopocus or anything bigger than these 2 and then fly, swim or run far away as possible while riding your tame

This things are like helicopters they fly straight at you shoots something sticky it's says this things are rare rare my ass this things spawns like 2 3 at the swamp area not gonna lie it's easy for me to dodge them I just fly straight down near bronto or other bigger dino they stop chasing me after wards

I just wrote a tip about this, but I’m literally mindblown by this as a tame, and I can’t stop thinking of nice things to say about it.

It only needs 1 resin in its inventory to carry stuff, so that should be useful for those who are like me and are still working on building a sap factory out of taps and archaeopteryx. I’ve been using my current Rhynio to catch and tame the highest level rexes I can find so that’s I can breed rexes not only for the Dinos, but so I can impregnate a very powerful bred Rex with a higher level female, since the baby rhynios get stats from its host as well.

This Dino is insane, and I can simply pick up a large predator that’s invading and drop it somewhere else, or simply kill it because this bug is so strong.

It also has the status of an apex predator, so everything will leave you alone except for other massive carnivores.

It has useful ranged attacks, can swim horizontally as fast as it flies… why is this thing so perfect?

It looked small and weak… it is not. If you see it run because it will shoot amber at you

So when I was flying my tapujara I was attacked by one. I can't even begin to tell you how scary it was. I tried everything and I couldn't get away and my tapujara died. Unless you want to join him be careful flying over swamps. And I thought swamps where dangerous enough😬

In terms of baby stats:

This has to be looked at as a Mating of your Host creature and the wild female Rhyni you getting the baby from rather than regular taming. Which means like regular breeding the baby can inherit stats from either.

The requrements to inherit the max amount of stats from the host (apart of the usual breeding chance to inherit stats from either female or "male") seems to be at this point:

-fulfill all carvings

-use either a giga, caracho or bronto as host creature

failing to do so reduces the posiible stats by a fairly high %

If it's close to your base an low level tranq it then kill it I'm suprised this worked
