Tips & Strategies
The breeding tab should inform us how long the Rhynio takes to mature to adulthood once it has been born from the host, depending on the server settings?
More Rhyniognatha Taming & KO Tips
Not every creature can βeatβ the pheromone that the males drop.. like this tip so Dododex can see and add which creatures can eat it and which ones canβt.
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
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!
All of the currently known cravings for host creatures include
Giga eggs
Carchars eggs
Quetzal eggs
Golden hesperornis eggs
All kibbles
Shadow steak saute
Fria curry
Enduro stew
Focal chilli
Lazarus chowder
Veggie cakes
Black pearls
Achatina paste
Gasoline
Element
Rhino horns
Ammonite bile
Bee honey
Battle tartar
Just a quick tip, Now only males will drop pheromones,
DONT KILL THE FEMALES!!!
Use a direwolf on ark ascended to easily tell when it is below 10% health
Itβs just came out with the new update.To tame it is kinda like the reaper.But instead of u getting impregnated itβs 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
to get a high level it depends on the host dino, the best ones are gigas, carchas, and brontos at the top. and rhynios get stats based on the host. even being said, its not guaranteed the stats such as it might not get the 30 points into health that the host dino had to put it into a example, and another factor is you have to give the host cravings. if not it might not be a max level either, they also dont get the hosts speed stat, their cravins contains: carcha egg, quetz egg, giga egg, golden egg, all the rockwell recipes and i mean all, element, absorbent substrate, black pearls, and gasoline. if helpful punch the sky
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 thatβs a higher or the same level as it although thatβs not confirmed to stay in the game.

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
