Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rhyniognatha? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rhyniognatha.
If you are tired of sacrificing your tames for one of these, just use a mod called MSKYO it takes creatures that you normally have to passive tame or steal eggs for (wyverns rock drakes giant mosquitoes pryomanes etc) and allows you to just knock them out and give them their preferred taming food like meat berries or kibble (the creator of this mod is Trixt3r) I love this mod, this is how we got our first pyromane. I highly recommend this mod if you don’t want to go through all the work of those really difficult passive tames.

Ok so I learned you can knock it down using tranq arrows, I think it's faster to kill it this way.
SUPER EASY TAME STRATEGY,
Use a spino to kill a male for the pheromone, count how many hits it took to kill the male, find a female, hit the female a few less times than the male, or until she is pretty bloody, then eat pheremone and there you go, also constantly consume food while she is attacking to help keep your health high.
Some people use all their good dinos just full it upgrade a dodo and just feed it the pheromone it can eat it.
You need to kill a male to get a pheromone feed to a large tame (gigs Rex) let it lay its larvae satisfy the pregnant Dino’s cravings eventually the baby will bust out killing the tame and you can claim and raise the baby to adulthood hope this helps
For Ark ultimate mobile players:
I used bronto level 256 - health - 46000
I got it impregnated with Rhyniognatha lvl 125
I completed 5 cravings ( Max )
I got rhyniognatha lvl 174.
But still don't understand how it works 😕
For some reason, no one mentions to make sure your dino is fed so that they don't starve before gestation period is over or you lose your baby rhynio. If you don't want to waste your time, make sure they are safe, fed, and watched carefully or your efforts will be in vain.
To the one saying tek creatures can't eat the pheromone dropped by rhyno male i have to disagree. My first rhynio just got bred from female rhyno with tek rex as its host
Hi guys can someone help us how to feed this dino, like absorbent it will not put in inventory to tap feed the dino
Whoever said only 2 of these spawn on a maps full of crap, my game crashed and when i reloaded it of course i got unmounted apon loaded and fell to my death and where i thought i was in my base area ibdidnt pay attention to where i died... apon spending the next 3 hrs looking for my rhyna and my gear i got gang bamged by 6 of these at once they spawn in groups and try to hunt in groups, and will out pace and destroy anything you got if you try to run, best bet is to straf there shots while chageing and pray your tame can dish some damage, that being said they are the fastest flyer and in im gunna say the top 3 as far as swimmers and transition almost flawlessly my furst rhyna was lvl 5 lol lvled it to 55 and apart from a high lvl giga or carcha nothing could trouch it except by an assendant machete that woulda probly 3 shot it and of course getting arked.... so far any carcha, quetz or rhyna iv tamed thus playthru arks got me on everything except gigas but the fact iv only seen one giga above lvl 7 id say im getting arked there as well, but my tamed at lvl 5 with one craving fed itd still wreck lvl 100 rhynas in about 5 hits
Withe the introduction of tek Gigas, it ahould now be possible to create even more powerful Rhynios because you can breed even stronger host creatures for them.
I have not tested this, but a fully mutated tek giga should make for some awesome stats…
For the ping people. We did 9 pregnancies 1-28-24 with 200-350 ping. Used approx 25 pheromones. We use a large boxed in trap. Toxic server killed a 150 we had trapped. Anyway it’s about getting lucky with the angle when they go through their animation. If they miss when they make their dive no prego. Might be ping but I just think it’s the angle. I’m sure low ping helps but it’s not required. We’ve done about 25 prego and only a few had less than 100 ping. Biggest help for us is just flying out of render. Sometimes they’ll get stuck in the tame. But if you fly out of render and come back a lot of the time they’ll be up high kinda where they can start their animation. Sometimes this is hard because a tribemate doing other things. Or the person we are helping wants to watch. We just tell them to stay out of render and we will tell them when it’s done.
I used a net thats shot out of harpoon launcher to stop it. Then i used one shot from a ascended shotgun(227 damage) and hit it 2 times with a metal pick(200 damage). then it comes undone from the net and impregnates the dino.
pure aids but can carry big dinos
Noticed a lot of players having issues getting their tames impregnated. Found a tip online that we tried and it worked nearly flawlessly.
Trap the female rhynio. Using a pteradon works great at pulling aggro.
Get the rhynio down to under 100 hp, NOT 10% of its health! Feed the pheromone to tame, dismount tame and release the female.
She'll aggro to it for a moment then start to fly off but should come right back. (If she continues flying off, use ptera to regain aggro and bring it back).Give it some time, and she should back up and do the animation for impregnating, then instantly fly off. If it was successful it should tell you a timer for incubation as well as the next craving.
Tried it with three bronto (m/f), and it worked with just a single pheromone. Ended up using that female about 15 more times. It seems to have some issue with impregnating rexes, though, as it takes longer for them.
We need the tranquilizers number, bringing them down is still a useful tool.
Broken asf got one down to 20 health and it still never impregnated our Dino, we had the pheromone going and got its health low and it just never did the animation
1 OF THE CRAVING FOODS ARE CHARCHA EGGS😱😱😱
Do whyverns work?
If so you could fly to your base and it would be way easier.
If you can not find one i found the best way is to use the kill all wild dino command. When i used it one istantly spawned after i left and returned to the redwoods.
