On official I recommend taming while 3x boost. Took us 8hrs to tame on 1x.

Food drain was insane and had to have a tribe mate do berry runs for us. How people are taming these with carnivores is beyond me.

Prepare prepare prepare!

These are pretty confusing to tale so i will help you and sum up taming in a few steps.

step1.Kill a male and harvest pheremone.

step 2. feed pheremone to a large dino (i reccomend the bronto).

step 3. find a female and reduce its health to at least ten percent.

Step 4. Let it lay an egg on you large dino of choice.

Step 5. feed your dino cravings and make sure you give it plenty of regular food (it will consume a lot of food while its incubating.) and once the rhyniognathia hatches your dino will sie amd you will have yourself a beatiful bug that carries rexes and shoots sap. :)

From personal experience, pumping Narcotics into the host dino has reduced the health damage from cravings. The effect is very temporary though.

Tame a bronto, kill a male to get a phormone, find a high level female get her low on health, make her attack your high level bronto, she will lay a egg in the bronto.

Use a good pump shotgun and bring alot of ammo to weaken it to a certain amount of hp bring a tame u can shoot off of and make sure it has alot of hp so it won't die also bring a magnifying glass to check its hp and bring alot of med brews just incase cuz you need to be safe as well

U NEED FREAKING ELEMENT TO FEED THEM

How do you trap tame it? I trapped seven and each failed and I did it just how you have to do it according to the devs.

What is the smallest thing it can take impregnate

Use something with a lot of health to tame it. Diplo works great then lower its health with a pump shotgun

Forgot to say to force feed the light blue kibble to your host, hehe -AK

To get one of these you must kill one to get its pheromone and force feed your selected dino bring a female bring her health to 10% she will impregnate your dino like the reaper taming method complete your dino cravings(sometimes will require very weird things like carch, giga eggs and very weird things so keep in mind)and POOF your tame died but you got yourself a rhynio. to get high levels it doesn't depend on the lvl of the rhynio it depends on the dino drag weight here is some of the best drag weight dinos (giga,charch,diplodocus,brontos, and pretty much anything that is very big)

Here’s how I tamed one. You create a behemoth gated cage with stone door frames for bars and ceilings to box it up (I had to use creative mode to do that). And make sure you add a double door for your pteranodon to go through. Because once you find the bug monster (make sure it’s female), let it chase you and go through the double door to trap the bug. She cannot shoot through the bars, and while she was busy attacking the cage, close the behemoth gate quickly and you trapped her.

Once you have the pheromone (from killing the male) ready, I used it on my woolly rhino (make sure it’s female), and kept shooting the bug with both my primitive and apprentice bow till her health’s at 10%, she impregnated my rhino, and boom (RIP my rhino), baby came out after a while. You claim and imprint the baby and there you go.

These have been spawning on Valguero in the swamps as well.

Tip from bad experience..once your Dino is impregnated it’s health and food will drop at a specific rate so that it will deplete exactly as the timer ends and you can’t heal it above that specific cap…but if you don’t feed it the last little bit it can totally die from ticking a hunger instead of the juvenile hatching so makes sure you have food sorted out near the end

Or you can just be logged off when it hatches and log in after the timer expires to claim

Them seem to reset hp to cap and slow food depletion while offline

Best host for them is a bronto

To anyone who can’t find it, update your game

Wait can you pick platform paracers? If I can I could put auto turrets on it and mounted turrets then you can put seats down if there’s no more space and get 10+ people on the paracer and you can now drop tones of players into the enemy’s base or have them stay there to rain bullets on the enemy 0_0. I hope you can do this because how funny it would be to get raised by one lol.

Spawn command is gmsummmon “rhynio_character_bp_c” 150

(The last number of the command can be any number)

You can load the pheromone into the ark data at the obelisk. This way you can bounce around to different servers looking for higher level females.

Mine glitched and showed me a different food than it wanted (showed last feeding). Put both what it actually wanted (tribe member able to see what it wanted) and what i could see what it wanted and was able to feed it
