ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Abilities (as of the release of the dossier)
- Arthropleura will sometimes drop an enzyme that works in conjuntion with rhyniognatha glue to form a projectile similar to baboon dung.
- Can glue itself to creatures & cargo (maybe it really can carry much larger dinos)
- Rhyniognatha also have a resin that hardens it shell for a boost, and can shoot resin to either be a literal chaingun, or can help to slow down predators. It’s safe to say that this chunky earwig will be ark’s AH-64 Apache.
- The males release a pheromene that attracts egg laying females to lay their eggs into the “host”. The item can presumably be dropped by dead male rhynio’s. This can be used to mark hosts for the females. This is the wa of taming them. It’s not known if certain creature hosts will improve the taming effectiveness though.
- Screw calling the pest control. The new concept is still very large.
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
The rhynio has a similar taming method to the reaper you have to kill a male to get a certain item then eat the item which is called fertile essence then you need to find a female rhynio and get is to under 10% of its health and will do a special attack to give you the baby but it has to be done in the air or underwater so it can use all of its legs as required unfortunately the female will only give a baby to someone that’s a higher or the same level as it although that’s not confirmed to stay in the game.

Some tips for when using this hibrid between the average autralian bug and a apache helicopter:
-The melee attack is way faster on ground than doing it in the air
-It can in fact land on a large flat wall , not just redwood trees, something like valgueros clifs
-When carrying something like a wild spino or rex , you can go backwards to make it miss some attacks and go further before needing to heal
-To rapid fire the missile attack ,push the button really fast and it will attack without the "lock in"
-To save your mental health and time if you wanna get one , just get a bronto preferably higher level than the rhynio ,cryo it , find the bug , un cryo it ,get it to agro on the bronto and shoot it with a longneck or pump shotty, when it gets really bloody stop and use the feromone ,if its not impregnating the bronto carefully shoot again, DO NOT PUT BRONTO INTO CRYO POD , craving are sometimes literally imposible to fulfill in some stages , like element so dont smash your head into the wall ,it is till will come put a high enough level
-And lastly, is morally correct to spawn in a wild Rhynio by commands trust me ,this things sometimes just dont spawn and makes you feel sad
I never tamed one but a good way to tame it is to shoot a chain bolla at it and then you can just trap it in stone gate ways and let your firearms do the rest.Once it’s low bolla it again let it free,use a brontosaurus and make it eat the pheromone then it should impregnate your brontosaurus.Recommend killing it after because sometimes it comes back for you.
Do not try and fight someone if they have this😭💀
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).
If they arnt spawning, go on a killing spree in the swamps, I recommend a spino due to them swimming, walking and having a big bite radius (while bipedal), as wiping the swamp should allow spawning space to open (there's a max alive wild creatures in one place before spawning stops), allowing a rhynio to spawn.
On the Switch you're currently not able to feed sacrificial dino's the cravings the baby wants. Tried everything on 2 different impregnated dino's and nothing works. Don't waste your time or tames till it's fixed :(
When "taming" the health of your dino will drop rapidly, it scared me ans my mates half to death, its meant to, when the health of the dino reaches 0 itll drop to the floor unconscious for a split second before dying and being consumed. No amount of healing will save the dino. The dino wont die before the timer finishes unless its being attacked by an outside source. Goodluck everyone

Trap the rhyniognatha after it impregnates your Dino that way you can reuse it later for more rhyniognatha taming
It is on console scared me to death
You can use a net attachment on the harpoon and a magnifying glass to keep an eye on its health, noting it gives you up to 30secs, a dire wolf could also work, but the other option is much cheaper, be sure to have decent weapons to chip it health down below 10% like you'd do with the Reaper Queens
High level Brontos worked best for us.
