Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

Best thing for this is probably a pheromone dart. Also, in my opinion, do not kill females unless they have impregnated your dino
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
Before you tame you need to know that they kill your tame after its been impregnated
TAMING
- Get a TRIKE that you DONβT 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 π₯³ (R.I.P Rex lvl 72)
These guys are very hard to control because they have high mobility and strong damage. So to make it easier, I will shoot them with tranq arrow until unconscious and then place 3x dinosaur gate to trap (note:place the gate Infront, back and side one gate on each side). Make sure the gates are close to each other. When it gets conscious, just shoot with shotgun and simple pistol you can also use slingshot for a lower damage. For the host, I prefer to use diplodocus because it has a lot of hp and easy to keep it safe. π It will take quite long time for rhyniognatha to get conscious. Hope this helps, enjoy the game.
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

Gasoline
Element
Rhino horns
Ammonite bile
Bee honey
Battle tartar
I feel bad about my brontosaurus i just use it for nothing instead of petting a rhyniognatha
What is the smallest thing it can take impregnate
Just a quick tip, Now only males will drop pheromones,
DONT KILL THE FEMALES!!!
Quick question, do yall know if I can avoid giving creatures cravings and avoid imprints. I want to tame a trike for this creature. But I donβt know if I can get it without the imprints and expensive cravings. Just for a starter rhynio. And will the rhynio be alive and adult. I donβt need it op I just canβt find an argy or a quetz to tame and all the pts on my single player are max level 30.
Use a direwolf on ark ascended to easily tell when it is below 10% health
