Tips & Strategies
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
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.
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.

The big WILL NOT impregnate Tek Creatures 👍🏾
This is not passive taming
You have to get it to 10 percent
And let it get your dino pregnant then a baby explodes out of your dino killing it
NOT PASSIVE TAMING
Trap the rhyniognatha after it impregnates your Dino that way you can reuse it later for more rhyniognatha taming
U need to kill one in order to TAME one?????
It is on console scared me to death
I thought originaly that they spawn only on Lost Island and Island. But i just spotted it on Fjordur. On the swamp island ( somewhere around 45 10)
Hope this helps
I suggest you find a nice beefy dino If you don't already have one, make sure it's carnivourus so you can deal damage to the Rhynio, use that dino to kill a low lvl Rhynio, because if it's a high level female it would save you time searching for one, once you go out and kill one lower the Rhynio to 10% this part is very tedious you can easily kill the Rhynio with a good dino, once you get it low enough, feed your dino the pheromones and when it gives your dino a quick sting and your dino has a buff on it showing the amount of time until a baby, feed it's cravings or else you'll have a extremely low level one, make sure to immediately feed the baby and imprint on it the second it comes out, good luck!
I am very excited for this to come to ARK! It sounds pretty versatile since it can fly and pick up huge creatures, so it sounds like it can be a mobile taming trap! Not to mention that it also looks awesome, like a moth right out of hell.
