Watch syntac and he will show you.
Dont trap, trapping it will some times bug it to the point where it wont do the stabbing animation. Especially on high ping server. Almost guaranteed a stab every time.
So a lot of people think they need to heal the host. You do not need to heal the host, and in fact, healing the host is a waste of resources and time especially if using daeodons. The health lost is inevitable and is always a ratio with the time being a negative percentage of health the host should be missing. Meaning if four hours have passed of the total eight incubation hours then the Dino will be at half health as it should be. Healing past that half will temporarily increase the host health, but it will quickly go back to half health. You do not need to heal it.
In addition, placing food in the dinosaurs inventory and sitting on the Dino, will automatically feed it faster and keep the food meter higher than zero this only works to maintain the food at 6% it won’t work there is about 6% food left or so. You can test this by dismounting and seeing the Dino’s food bar go to 0 then mount and watch it rise to 6%ish.
Process goes from impregnating the host to a juvenile Rhynio emerging from said host, there is no baby phase where you meed to hand feed the bug as dododex is stating.
It’s basically just reaper but on your Dino instead
RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN! THEN JUST GIVE UP AND DIE
I am building a house on the Island, and this massive creature has been very helpful towards building, you can build while riding and flying, like on an argy but you can move backwards/move around a lot easier, for me anyway, I do suggest trying them out for building, gives them a new use really-
In case you were wondering you do NOT have to feed it the requests. If your creature loses health don’t worry it is fine. (PS: Daeodon doesn’t work
High levels can be great for carrying Dino’s who run/attack back
The amount of HP And Weight cap is insane for picking up lots of useful Dino’s, it’s great as a carrier as well
Take a rex, for example. Rex are dangerous and you are broke on materials to make a trap but you have a high-level rhynio, use the rhynio (yes it can pick up rexes it’s cool) and pick it up, have your tribe mate go ahead and tranq it out while the rhynio goes ahead and tanks damage (with resin armor it takes 20-40 damage)
Rhynio can also stun/encase creatures with Amber with the sniper mode (RB + LT on xbox) or the grenade launcher mode, you will see a sort of bar on top of the creature and the more you hit it, the more icons get colored with an Amber color, once it turns full and red, the creature is now stuck and has basically to no movement speed, making tames like Gallimimus easy
The Taunt attack (Hold R3 or Right Thumbstick) will do the reduced version of the fear roar from the yuty, making an blue/teal aura around Dino’s
I learnt this from experience, and I will sea you layter

Host drag weight over 900 = Bronto, Giga, Carcha, Megachelon.
BUT baby inherits Stat POINTS, not stats, so a mega mutated Giga with zero points in all but Melee is a bad plan as you will likely inherit a bunch of low stats.
If you’re looking to max out your Rhynio, try and find a host with a good spread in HP, Stamina, and Melee with a bit of weight for good measure as resin ammo is heavy. I reckon you’re more likely to find a decent spread in a bronto than a Giga. My best so far actually came from a bred Yuty. Even though I lost a percentage of stat carry over due to the lower drag weight, the stat spread was way better and made up with a better baby in the end. Oh and make sure you have all the cravings ready because it breaks your heart to grind for two days and then get a golden egg craving on the second one. Take your hesperonis fishing. Every five fish it eats you get an egg. Every four eggs or so you get a golden one. Be ready to run to a refrigerator because they spoil crazy fast.
Best sacrifice of tame is bronto
While using a quetzal might seem like a good idea because the weight is high enough and it's a flyer so it doesn't have any unnecessary points in movement speed, I would advise against it. Because it's drag weight is under 650,the extra points which would have gone in movement speed, will be lost because of insufficient host size
just typed a whole command witch is annoying cause it didn’t work and it was all for nothing this is what I wrote: admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Rhyniognatha/Rhynio_Character_BP.Rhynio_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 60 but this didn’t work at all I need help finding the Rhynio can anyone tell me where it spawns and give coordinates?
