Tips & Strategies
The ULTIMATE transporter for taming:
1. It can carry dinos with up to 600 drag weight, which allows you to carry almost every land creature, except for gigas, carcharos, brontos, and titanos. To mitigate damage from aggressive dinos while you are carrying them with your rhynio, you can:
1a. You can use the resin armor ability to take 40% less damage
2a. You can use the screech ability to "scare" almost every land creature for 20 seconds, but it has a 30 second cooldown. You can use this by dropping the creature, going on land, using the ability, then picking up the dino again to not get attacked for 20 seconds.
3a. You can strafe by flying perpendicularly left or right. This confuses the creature's AI and convinces to move its head in the opposite direction you are strafing, which prevents it from attacking you.
2. You can equip weapons while riding it, this allows you to:
2a. Tranq dinos while in the sky so they can't attack you, you can also tranq certain dinos that are being carried by your rhynio at the same you are riding your rhynio, this includes dinos like rexes, yutys, and other medium size creatures.
2b. Tranq dinos on land, using your rhynio's large health pool to tank, you can also use the screech ability or sap ability to minimize damage.
3. You can use its resin projectiles abilities to immobilize dinos by doing a rocket attack, then quickly switch to needle attack and it will make the dino stuck in seconds. (this takes some skill to learn and master)
Just be wary of other rhynios, because they will literally attack any wild animal that's not a megatherium, rex, spino, giga, carcharo, yuty or titano (this includes megs too they can target megs outside of water but they cant go into water lol) plus literally like all tames
More Rhyniognatha Utility Tips
10 passengers can ride a diplo along with the driver.
All passengers can use weapons while in the diplo.
Rhynios can pick them up.
You have fast gunship now, use wisely.
Can go underwater so pump it with oxygen and stam!
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!
You can dismount mid flight, DO NOT MOVE AFTER, you will be standing on the saddle, the rhyniognatha will regain its stamina and you donβt have to land

It actually does not need to be low health. For me it was only 98% health (I did the maths) and it still impregβd my bronto. You can also get them to do the Impreg by heightening their torpor (Iβm pretty sure). Tips for the noobs, they do not spawn at the green obelisk swamp by the beach AND ONLY THE BEACH ONE. They are fairly easy (for me at least) to tame with a high level spino or rex. They can actually be knocked by tranqs or other methods. You can not lead your impregβd animal to safety if inside the swamp (because of the groups of Rhyniogatha) but you can if outside. Just bring a Shi Taki mushroom amount of trophyβs and random things to make things like cravings easier. They crave things (for me a wooly rhino horn and exceptional kibble.) so be prepared. And last but not least they can swim, fly, run and attack at abysmal speeds so that is a benefit. I will also add that the stamina stat on these things is crazy and you can ride while wielding weapons!
