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.

If you cryopod the pregnant animal ot will loose it pregnancy. Damn i lost my first rhyno gatha that way.

Not every creature can “eat” the pheromone that the males drop.. like this tip so Dododex can see and add which creatures can eat it and which ones can’t.

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

How to easily tame one for early access to end-game transportation:

Things needed: spyglass, tamed trike, trike saddle, sword, simple pistol, at least 50 simple bullets

Recommended player level: level 35

1. Tame any trike then after its tamed ride it and destroy trees or kill creatures until it gains enough exp that you can pump several to a dozen levels in health into it.

2. Go to the swamp and find a rhynio, then target it with the spyglass to check if it's male or female and what level it is, obviously don't get close enough that it starts chasing you.

3. Assuming the rhynio is low level and male then you are set to kill it, but if it is too high of a level to kill or female then find a new one. Many tips will say just to kill it but never actually explain how to before it can kill you, so here's an actual good way to kill it:

4. Equip the sword and simple pistol in your hotbar, mount your trike then find the rhynio, aggro the rhynio using the pistol and magdump it until the rhynio gets close enough and starts attacking your trike, then equip your sword and start swinging at its face as much as you can until it dies while your trike tanks the damage. If it starts shooting resin at you then switch to your pistol and start shooting at it (This requires quick and precise aim as the rhynio can move from spots quickly while it is shooting resin). After it dies open its inventory and take its rhyniognatha pheromone.

5. After you take the pheromone, you can wait for your trike to heal while watching the spoil timer of the rhynio pheromone then find a low level female rhynio, feed the pheromone to the trike if it hasnt spoiled yet, then do the same attack process described in step 4 but don't damage it so much that it dies, you can then wait for the rhynio to impregnate your trike then it will fly away.

6. You can choose to satisfy the trike's cravings or not, but since this is a beginners' tip it wouldn't matter if you did or not. Put a lot of berries in the trike's inventory, then you can just wait until the gestation timer finishes and your trike dies.

7. After your trike dies and your juvenile level 1 rhynio pops out and lands somewhere near where your trike was, put enough raw meat in it's inventory for it to last until it becomes an adult and you can imprint it if you want the damage and resistance buffs.

8. You now have a tamed rhynio, end of tip.

9. Just kidding, while you wait for your rhynio to mature you can grind explorer notes until you get to level 91, (takes around 20 on singleplayer) and since the rhynio's maturity timer takes so long you might even be able to craft the saddle before it reaches adulthood.

10. When your rhynio reaches adulthood you now have a flyer that is faster than a quetzal, has more weight than a quetzal, can pick up almost all land creatures in the game, and cannot be attacked by most aggressive creatures unless you attack them first.

Note that since you have a level 1 rhynio you should avoid fighting other rhynios, as it can easily be killed if 2 or more rhynios attack you at once

Before you tame you need to know that they kill your tame after its been impregnated

TAMING

- Get a TRIKE that you DON’T 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 🥳 (R.I.P Rex lvl 72)

DO NOT USE GENE SCANNER ON YOUR IMPREGNATED DINO, if you extract any useful gene traits from it once impregnated IT WILL KILL THE BABY.

Don’t ask me how I learned about it 😓

Just a quick tip, Now only males will drop pheromones,

DONT KILL THE FEMALES!!!

DO NOT CRYO AFTER IMPREGNATION, When you do it the dino will not be pregnant,
