These bugs make taming other dinos a LOT easier, and grinding more bearable. Now you don't NEED a high level one.i got a lvl 35 weeks ago, now lvl 95, doing wonders for metal gathering because of their high weight, though if you're far from a metal source, i'd recommend argys, since rhynios, when carrying dinos move horrendously slow.

Well, it's simple (not really, but still pretty simple for their uitility that they give you) first, find a male (level of the male doesnt really matter, but females do) after killing one check your dinos inventory, or the rhyniognathas dead body inventory. If you cant open the rhyniognathas dead body, then the pheromone should be in your dino's inventory.

Select a tamed dinosaur, preferably a brontosaurus, or carcharodontosaurus, or gigas. Though rexes, paracers and other animals could work, but not all of them. 𝙎𝙀𝘼𝙍𝘾𝙃 𝘼𝙍𝙆 𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙊 𝘿𝙍𝘼𝙂 𝙒𝙀𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏𝙎 Drag weight matters very much here, because it ensures full stat transfer from the host dino to the rhyniognatha, 900+ drag weight is the max limit for stat transfer, making carchas, gigas and brontos the best option, if you want a rhyniognatha specifically for resource gathering, sacrifice a bronto, if you want damage, sacrifice a giga/carcha. Brontos have high weight, carcha/giga has high damage, if you want one SPECIFICALLY to just be a speedy fighter jet that doesn't fight, sacrifice a bronto with high speed, if you even level it up on brontos.

Second, find a female, high levels are great, but if you're desperate, low levels are great too. If you've located one DO NOT FIGHT IT YET! If you have a cryopod, use it to store the sacrifice and uncryo it near the rhyniognatha, if you don't have one then you'll have to go primitive and ride the sacrifice, or make it follow you near the rhyniognatha, feed your sacrifice the pheromone you got from the male, and quickly get aggro from the rhyniognatha. Attack it, lead it near your sacrifice using your dinos, or weapons till it reaches below 10% of their hp. The female rhyniognatha should shoot out some orange glowing blob at your sacrifice, your sacrifice is now bearing a rhyniognatha. (It should be glowing orange) from there, prepare the foods it will request. Search the things that it might ask for in its "Still stuck inside your sacrifice" Phase, just incase prepare element, they can request it.

Abilities (as of the release of the dossier)

- Arthropleura will sometimes drop an enzyme that works in conjuntion with rhyniognatha glue to form a projectile similar to baboon dung.

- Can glue itself to creatures & cargo (maybe it really can carry much larger dinos)

- Rhyniognatha also have a resin that hardens it shell for a boost, and can shoot resin to either be a literal chaingun, or can help to slow down predators. It’s safe to say that this chunky earwig will be ark’s AH-64 Apache.

- The males release a pheromene that attracts egg laying females to lay their eggs into the “host”. The item can presumably be dropped by dead male rhynio’s. This can be used to mark hosts for the females. This is the wa of taming them. It’s not known if certain creature hosts will improve the taming effectiveness though.

- Screw calling the pest control. The new concept is still very large.

These guys can stick on walls, and pick any size of structure, and it ignores the weight of the items inside of the structure, (e.g vaults, industrial forges,) you can even pick up tree platforms and the structures will stay on the platform, plus it has MASSIVE weight making it essential for carrying heavy items. It can skate and land on water allowing you to regen stam whilst on water, plus it can dive, you can shoot weapons from it, and if you dismount whilst flying, it will regenerate stamina, so ya don't even gotta land!

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 that’s a higher or the same level as it although that’s not confirmed to stay in the game.

Hey! So... If you are in mobile ultimate edition. Just so you know, their ai is suck. They will not follow you. At this 26 Dec 2024

But hey, if the imprinting is need to "walk with you", just "whistle follow" then punch it till it moves a couple meters

I hope the ai will be fixed soon. And dont try to fly too high, then dissmount, or you cannot reach him anymore (since he will not listen any follow whistle)

DO NOT PANIC ! These things are scary and powerful but there is an easy way of getting rid of them that works every time for me, just run/fly into another dino that is there natural prey (this means that they attack it when wild). For example, I always bump into a paracetharium when chased by those and they completely abandon me !

However, you will probably still take a few hits, so always come with an argy or bulky ptera.

P.S. : I am on the new mobile version, so I don’t know whether this works for PC too, but I’m quite sure it does

Ok first off go on a flyer to avoid any stress that yoy would have from being on land and get a dino that has prefferably 5k+ health and also take your flyer so 2 dinos to go and get bsck to your base the flyer is going ot be your main one and you'l always a male and female together so first, kill the male for pheremone, using your flyer tske the female wherever you want in a non dangerous wide clesr area then drop your other dino that you will sacrifice and keep your flyer at a distance in passive and then using your new dino that will get pregnant while the rhyognatha is attaking it get your harpoon launcher eith nets and net it then use a shotgun or anyother high melee weapon and once its under 500 or so you can use a normal spear as it isnt to strong to get him low and if it or isnt netted you feed the pheremone to ur dino thats going to be sacrificed and after you see a little warning or whatever besides it health and stuff run away ti where tou left your flyer and go someoewhrre even safer and further and then it will ask for cravings if you dont complete any it will come out very low level bye guys.

I hate these motherfuc***s with all my heart.

I tamed a level 150 ptero and later increased its level upto 256 she was perfect perfect. I was traveling all around map within few seconds but when I sit to rest and gain stamina, a group of these assh*les attack me and kill my Potterz, miss you buddy 🥲.

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!
