More Rhyniognatha Taming & KO Tips
Not every creature can โeatโ the pheromone that the males drop.. like this tip so Dododex can see and add which creatures can eat it and which ones canโt.
I know some that cannot:
Megatherium
Stego
Tek Creatures
Anky
Doeds
Sarco
Baryonyx
Carno
Managarmr
Some that can eat:
Wyverns
Rex
Quetzal
Maewing
Trike
With more testing we could have it set up fully and implemented into DodoDex
Before you tame you need to know that they kill your tame after its been impregnated
TAMING
- Get a TRIKE that you DONโT love
- Bring it to the Swamp
- Kill a MALE Rhyniognatha
- Bring a FEMALE semi-close to your Trike
- GET THE FEMALE BELOW OR EQUAL TO 100 HP
- FEED the Trike the PHEROMONE you got from the MALE
- IT WILL IMPREGNATE THE TRIKE
- YOUR TRIKE WILL REQUEST 5 DIFFERENT FOODS
(YOU DONT HAVE TO FEED IT THE FOODS BUT IT WILL HEAVILY IMPACT THE LEVELS AND STATS)
- Once the timer hits 0:00 Your Trike will go UNCONSCIOUS AND DIE
AND THERES YOUR BABY RHY ๐ฅณ (R.I.P Rex lvl 72)
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!
Just a quick tip, Now only males will drop pheromones,
DONT KILL THE FEMALES!!!
The Paraceratheriums can eat the pheromones too which is extremely helpful because they are easy to tame, practically useless AND they live in the same area as the Rhyniognatha!
Use a direwolf on ark ascended to easily tell when it is below 10% health
PAY ATTENTION PLEASE!!!
GET A DINO WITH ENOUGH HEALTH TO IMPREGNATE!!!
From all the info I got, this bug is real annoying to tame but I still believe I can do it
My Technique :
I got the Pheromone from the Male
I tranqed the female ( it sleeps a lot )
Tamed a bronto
Made sure it got food but it didnโt have enough health (2.5k)
Then Rhynio woke up, I fed the bronto the pheromone
The TRICK you donโt see is the Rhynio has to TAIL ATTACK 10-12 times before it impregnates, it doesnโt just hit once and leave and that drains your Dinoโs health
So moral lesson, get a healthy host
If your trying to tame one donโt put the creature in a capsule because it will cancel the requests of the rhynio
Itโs just came out with the new update.To tame it is kinda like the reaper.But instead of u getting impregnated itโs ur Dino but use a disposable Dino as once it gives birth the creature dies.from my own experience you need to kill one then get its pheromone gland then feed it to I am pretty sure ur creature once u found one u want to tame then find one u want to tame then eat the gland then keep attacking it until it impregnates u then u have to wait for a bit and u need to feed ur dino random things cuz it craves stuff.What I got was black pearls Lazarus chowder and absorant.I think the more u feed it the more older the baby is once it bursts from ur dinos chest then u need to raise it from there
