Don’t try to fight it on a flier.

TLDR- fall damage is imminent

I encountered one for the first time on my argy on the island. I saw it and though “woah, that’s cool. Ive never seen that Dino before! Must be like a bug unicorn or something. I’m going to fight it!

Well, I never had problems fighting things on my argy before, It’s a little boosted, but as soon as I engaged this creep it sapped me out of the air and I was grounded to 1/10 health until it finally killed me. Yikers.

to all brokie/newbie that want one rhyniognatha but don't have materials for craving or a good dino here's what u need to do:

firstly get a bronto. ask my why well cuz it's the easiest tame that could stand a chance against a low level rhynio

secondly get a bronto saddle or platform saddle if u want to keep ur bronto later on

thirdly level ur bronto to minimum lvl 40 max NA by mass gathering berries(note that rhynio saddle unlocks at lvl 90 so while ur leveling up ur bronto use the nacroberry ur bronto collect to make some narcotic with rotten meat) and level all their stats in damage and health

fourthly kill a LOW lvl male rhynio for pheromone

lastly get the pheromone and the creature ur gonna sacrifice(if u got ur bronto a platform saddle then get a trike on the platform saddle) and walk up to a female rhynio, battle it until its has less then 10% health then quickly go ride ur sacrifice dino and feed it the pheromone the female will then impregnate ur dino and fly away and whola u got urself an rhynio(btw if u wanna lvl it up quickly, get a saddle and find explorer notes as long as u discover the explorer note while riding ur rhynio it will give the exp to ur rhynio instead of u)

Need a tip for these things? Avoid them till you can get a rex or a spino saddle and the creature and just look for them. Avoid swamps and redwoods. For taming:

Get a rex if you have spares, find a male, kill it, get its pheromone, find a female, get her to 100 hp, use the pheromone on the rex and have her impregnate your rex and just fill your rex with meat. About how to get levels for the baby before it hatches - it has cravings here and there where it asks for certain foods or rare drops.

How to tame a rhyniognatha (rh for short)

Step 1 go to spawn location with a large tame and a argy.

Step 2 find and kill a male and take its rh pheromone

Step 3 find a female and lower it to less than 10% health but do not kill it.

Step 4 feed the rh pheromone to your Dino (I used a bronto and it works great) and it will make it pregnant and fly away.

Step 5 your Dino will go through TONS of food when pregnant with the rh so bring lots of food. Your Dino will also lose health over time until it reaches zero and gives birth to the rh. Your Dino will also ask for cravings those are not required but do increase its level when born.

Step 6 once born wait until it matures and then enjoy the gigs of the sky!

Pro tip: when chased by a rh on a flyer tame do not fly straight fly in an unpredictable way to avoid its ranged attack that will make your Dino unable to move.

Hope this helped

I was playing the new mobile version for awaile and started to get a hang of it till then when I go near the swamp not even 3 hours later i found one very quickly which is crazy because there supposed to be one the rarest creatures and boi the craziness doesn’t stop here after awhile like 6 minutes i found 2 more which is crazy!.
