Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rhyniognatha? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rhyniognatha.
Take one and forget every other land, water and flying dino you will love it
U NEED FREAKING ELEMENT TO FEED THEM
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)
Some people are not concerned with wild levels and prefer to get more levels themselves. Find just a female Rhyniognatha. For some it does not matter the levells.

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
Creatures that work best are Gigas, Carchar’s, Bronto’s and Megachelon’s. Long of the short of it is, the higher the drag weight the better!!
When getting multiple dinos impregnated make sure to net and check the Rhyns HP before each attempt (using a magnifying glass). It replenishes its health fairly quickly. Make sure to bring low damage weapons like a prim hatchet to bring its health down if a weapon shot will kill it.
Do not cryopod an impregnated dino as this will cancel the pregnancy.
Build trap lead female in net gun put out dino you want to be impregnated add pheramon. attack the female till below 10 percent health then stand back and let get impregnated. Then repeat as the female is still there.
Yo I have a question do you have to feed the Dino the food it wants like veggie cakes or kibble?
I used a top level Giga for implant. 35k hp 2.2melee The wild female was Rhinio was lvl the baby born was lvl 59 with Garbage stats and I satisfied every craving. 3k hp and 300 melee.
Found in swamps on Island and Lost Island. Kill one to get the pheromones.
When you find a female, take it to low health then feed a large creature the pheromone. She will inject her larva. Your creature will then have cravings for random items including Element, Giga eggs, and Carch eggs. Fulfilling cravings gives a better level baby. When the offspring is ready, it will kill the host, so don’t use anything you aren’t willing to lose.
They are rare spawns in swamp biome on lost island and the island. You have to find 2 to tame one, and you might just end up killing it because the taming process is like a reaper, you must make its health below 100, and then it will lay eggs in your dino, if it has eaten the pheromone. Then it should fly away and you have to take care of the dino with eggs inside it. It will have cravings and you must feed it it’s cravings or the baby will die, and after a while the baby will pop out, partially grown. Then you just raise it from there, like a normal dino baby.
To tame this creature kill a male rhynio and collect the pheromone from its corpse. Next find a female and when close by feed a tamed dino the pheromone. Next whittle down the females health and it will deposit the larvae on the host dino. During the incubation period the host will get cravings similar to imprinting and food consumption increases.
The size of the host dino affects the egg quality and stats of the rhynio
