Before wandering in swamp near the redwood make sure your game is saved

Only 2 will spawn on map at a time. Spawns are along the swamp River just south of the redwoods. Kill the males and take the pheromone from inventory(shotguns work well on them). When you find a female, have a tame nearby preferably a paracetamol for your first time. Damage the bug and peck at it with a low damage weapon to get below 10%. Put your tame on passive and feed it the pheromone. The rhynio will beat on it for a little bit but don't stress, it will fly up and whip down and impregnate your tame. (If you build a trap you can impregnate multiple tames, I've done 35 dinos off of 1 bug)

Don't fly low on the swamp or else it'll spot your flyer. Best way to cross is to travel further up. Way up as high as the volcano and take your flyer some rests to gather stamina so you won't run out being close to the death zone

If on console press RB then LB to get all the information about what buttons to press

Since when does it spawn on ragnarok

I for some dumb reason have a crazy hard time finding one. But oh when I’m just starting lost island I see a stupid rhynio killing everything so yeah I’m going over there later to get my first rhynio lol

Ok friends let’s began well it’s a passive tames, it is creepy and fights EVERYthing , and you must kill one and then feed its faramone too a tame of yours then when you find a other one it will put a egg in your tame

And your tame will have cravings fulfill its craving for a better rhynothia and it will rip out of your tame killing your tame 😖 and it is discouraging, these bad boys can blast out cement and can pick up diplo’s .

I found out on mobile you can pop these goobers into a veto pod while they are growing up and it will change their imprinting requests. (After they pop out of your Dino btw)

To the guy who said you can have 10 people with weapons if you pick up a diplo. You can actually have 11 because the rhynio has a passanger seat too.

It’s so complicated to tame.

I don’t even want to anymore.

Hmph.

I suggest you find a nice beefy dino If you don't already have one, make sure it's carnivourus so you can deal damage to the Rhynio, use that dino to kill a low lvl Rhynio, because if it's a high level female it would save you time searching for one, once you go out and kill one lower the Rhynio to 10% this part is very tedious you can easily kill the Rhynio with a good dino, once you get it low enough, feed your dino the pheromones and when it gives your dino a quick sting and your dino has a buff on it showing the amount of time until a baby, feed it's cravings or else you'll have a extremely low level one, make sure to immediately feed the baby and imprint on it the second it comes out, good luck!

This guy looks so cool can’t wait to Tame it and conquer the ark with this guy!

The breeding tab should inform us how long the Rhynio takes to mature to adulthood once it has been born from the host, depending on the server settings?

Doesn't work on tek Rex's, or maybe it's bugged

This dame creatures is so not even rare at this point i saw 5 at the intrance the south west swamp and someone of them for some damn reason kept flying closer and closer to my base in the east middle southern part of the island lol like why does it show red as very rare to encounter and this damn thing is everywhere like sure wasn’t planning to enter swamp yet even though I’m level 71 mostly focused on leveling up lol I don’t have many tames but issue is I tried to kill it and died 5 times even though it’s level 27 only bruh why is it so op annoying can’t they fix this spawn a bit lol

I’m just suggesting but my lvl 18 bro to killed a lvl 12

Molly this tip goes out to you!

Taming this is like a miniboss. You deal damage and after a while the rhynio will back uo and fire sticky resign at you than repeat. Only when it is very bloody AND a female will she lay eggs.

It has to lay eggs on your tames

Its hella easy to kill just use a pump shotgun, however they r hell in the early game so avoid them until u have an easy way to deal a crap ton of damage

These are supposed to be rare but I see multiple and with the low level creatures on the island, if you fly a bird in the swamp area it is usually death
