What are tips for rhyniognatha? Tips and strategies for rhyniognatha in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
DO NOT CRYO AFTER IMPREGNATION, When you do it the dino will not be pregnant,
Just a quick tip, Now only males will drop pheromones,
DONT KILL THE FEMALES!!!
Wild dinos ignore you while you are on it unless you attack them except if the dino is an allo, spino, rex, alpha rex, yuty, carcharo, giga, rhynio, or insect buffed megatherium which will attack on sight.
the quality of the baby rhynio depends on few things, the wild rhynio level (150 for the best result), the host drag weight must be above 900 (bronto,carcha,gigan on the island), the host's level and stats (stats is important because the host is also a parent so its like normal breeding), and the cravings fulfillment. also imprint the baby for the best stats, ive tried this multiple times with my bred brontos and i always get 240+ baby rhynio
So basically the swamp is a no fly zone like the redwoods all because of these oversized locusts. They somehow fly faster than a pteranodon and can shoot sap. Learned it the hard way twice by losing 2 tamed high level pteranodons.
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!
To the guy that said if the cravings are needed or if they improve the rhynio level: Cravings heavily depend their level, you could have two extremely high level parents (check other tips for taking these suckers if your confused on the term โparentsโ) but only get a level 30-40 rhynio. Hope this helps!
Yโall is that thing on survival evolved as well?
You can dismount mid flight, DO NOT MOVE AFTER, you will be standing on the saddle, the rhyniognatha will regain its stamina and you donโt have to land
THESE FLYING FREAKS ARE IN THE NEW MOBILE, I WASNT AWARE AND I LOST A SQUAD OF 3 PTS AND 2 TAPIS LIKE DAMN BRO WHAT ARE THESE GIANT AH GRASSHOPERS ON FENT
I lost 4 of my flyers to this thing and every time i am near swamp this mf comes outs of nowhere and attack my dino not me my dino u mf and i used to thought it was rare or something but I donโt think so right now and thats why i am going to tame this mf to take my revenge by killing his kind ๐
These guys can stick on walls, and pick any size of structure, and it ignores the weight of the items inside of the structure, (e.g vaults, industrial forges,) you can even pick up tree platforms and the structures will stay on the platform, plus it has MASSIVE weight making it essential for carrying heavy items. It can skate and land on water allowing you to regen stam whilst on water, plus it can dive, you can shoot weapons from it, and if you dismount whilst flying, it will regenerate stamina, so ya don't even gotta land!
Use a direwolf on ark ascended to easily tell when it is below 10% health
It actually does not need to be low health. For me it was only 98% health (I did the maths) and it still impregโd my bronto. You can also get them to do the Impreg by heightening their torpor (Iโm pretty sure). Tips for the noobs, they do not spawn at the green obelisk swamp by the beach AND ONLY THE BEACH ONE. They are fairly easy (for me at least) to tame with a high level spino or rex. They can actually be knocked by tranqs or other methods. You can not lead your impregโd animal to safety if inside the swamp (because of the groups of Rhyniogatha) but you can if outside. Just bring a Shi Taki mushroom amount of trophyโs and random things to make things like cravings easier. They crave things (for me a wooly rhino horn and exceptional kibble.) so be prepared. And last but not least they can swim, fly, run and attack at abysmal speeds so that is a benefit. I will also add that the stamina stat on these things is crazy and you can ride while wielding weapons!
Please press the button I want you to
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!
Giant bugs are offensive to my health
New mobile is borderline unplayable and ruined bc the spawn rate of these is to high. Ark needs to dial back the spawn on these.
They spawn most commonly in the swamps north of the southern islets connecting to green ob, spawn slightly less commonly in the western swamp marshes, then spawn least common in the main writhing swamps south of the redwoods.
These bugs make taming other dinos a LOT easier, and grinding more bearable. Now you don't NEED a high level one.i got a lvl 35 weeks ago, now lvl 95, doing wonders for metal gathering because of their high weight, though if you're far from a metal source, i'd recommend argys, since rhynios, when carrying dinos move horrendously slow.

Well, it's simple (not really, but still pretty simple for their uitility that they give you) first, find a male (level of the male doesnt really matter, but females do) after killing one check your dinos inventory, or the rhyniognathas dead body inventory. If you cant open the rhyniognathas dead body, then the pheromone should be in your dino's inventory.

Select a tamed dinosaur, preferably a brontosaurus, or carcharodontosaurus, or gigas. Though rexes, paracers and other animals could work, but not all of them. ๐๐๐ผ๐๐พ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Drag weight matters very much here, because it ensures full stat transfer from the host dino to the rhyniognatha, 900+ drag weight is the max limit for stat transfer, making carchas, gigas and brontos the best option, if you want a rhyniognatha specifically for resource gathering, sacrifice a bronto, if you want damage, sacrifice a giga/carcha. Brontos have high weight, carcha/giga has high damage, if you want one SPECIFICALLY to just be a speedy fighter jet that doesn't fight, sacrifice a bronto with high speed, if you even level it up on brontos.
Second, find a female, high levels are great, but if you're desperate, low levels are great too. If you've located one DO NOT FIGHT IT YET! If you have a cryopod, use it to store the sacrifice and uncryo it near the rhyniognatha, if you don't have one then you'll have to go primitive and ride the sacrifice, or make it follow you near the rhyniognatha, feed your sacrifice the pheromone you got from the male, and quickly get aggro from the rhyniognatha. Attack it, lead it near your sacrifice using your dinos, or weapons till it reaches below 10% of their hp. The female rhyniognatha should shoot out some orange glowing blob at your sacrifice, your sacrifice is now bearing a rhyniognatha. (It should be glowing orange) from there, prepare the foods it will request. Search the things that it might ask for in its "Still stuck inside your sacrifice" Phase, just incase prepare element, they can request it.

When wild this thing can and will target megalodons but it can't go in water so it will either wait until the megalodon swims high enough to melee attack it, or it will start shooting resin at it until it dies, so this proves that megalodons are inferior to carnos and similar to sabertooths and raptors in the predator and prey hierarchy. And since nothing attacks each other in the ocean, this also proves that mosasaurs and plesiosaurs are similar to the megalodon so in theory they can be aggroed on by any rex, giga, carcharo, yuty, allo, megatherium, or rhynio.
