Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rhyniognatha? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rhyniognatha.
The Paraceratheriums can eat the pheromones too which is extremely helpful because they are easy to tame, practically useless AND they live in the same area as the Rhyniognatha!
The easiest Dino to use if you just want to tame a rhyniognatha NOT FOR AMAZING STATS OR ANYTHING, is a spino because they have way to high hp and the damage is low enough that you can easily lower the ho of the mother without having to worry about killing them
I don't know if it was a bug or if it's part of the pregnancy, but my baby got VERY hungry and ate hundreds of berries.
This creature is so overpowered it shoots resin that make creatures slow down its fast it moves under water fast and it can carry lots of supplies.This creature can also stick on to trees when the cross hair turns green and you click space.This giant bug can also let you hold your weapons while on it meaning you can tranq things from above over all just a broken creature but brutal when encountering.
Trap the rhyniognatha after it impregnates your Dino that way you can reuse it later for more rhyniognatha taming
Getting a high level one of these is probably the most grind intensive tame in the game. I spent a couple weeks at least getting things together to satisfy all the possible cravings and find a 150 female. I can personally say, after all that work, I'd do it again. THEY ARE WORTH IT! I can't stress enough how freaking awesome these things are. Go look at the wiki page, and your jaw will drop when you see the stuff it can do. Puts every tame I've ever had in this game to shame and its not even close.
CLARIFICATION: What tame you use as the host DOES matter significantly. It is just like any other parent when breeding. Rhynio and your host will roll the stat game for what you get. You want your weight high? Get a good bronto. Damage? Say goodbye to a good giga. And make sure you have an ungodly amount of food.Or pick a host that is capable of harvesting that ungodly amount of food close to home in between cravings
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
PAY ATTENTION PLEASE!!!
GET A DINO WITH ENOUGH HEALTH TO IMPREGNATE!!!
From all the info I got, this bug is real annoying to tame but I still believe I can do it
My Technique :
I got the Pheromone from the Male
I tranqed the female ( it sleeps a lot )
Tamed a bronto
Made sure it got food but it didn’t have enough health (2.5k)
Then Rhynio woke up, I fed the bronto the pheromone
The TRICK you don’t see is the Rhynio has to TAIL ATTACK 10-12 times before it impregnates, it doesn’t just hit once and leave and that drains your Dino’s health
So moral lesson, get a healthy host
If your bronto is low on hunger and starving then you can just rejoin the world instead of force feeding it berries like an idle clicker. Which also saves you time for preparing and cooking items it craves.
Tested on UME single player.
Rhynio eat:
●Absorbent Substrate
●Achatina Paste
●Ammonite Bile
●Golden Hesperornis Egg

●Enduro Stew
●Focal Chili

Hey guys, just remember that while the host is pregnant, it’s hunger will drop RAPIDLY!!!!! Bring lots of snacks for your bronto before getting stung
High level Brontos worked best for us.
Rhyniognatha not follow problem
Recent patch makes it impossible to tame inside a trap. Need to release it from trap before it will impregnate your dino. I wasted a bunch of pheromones for science
Get a brontosaurus go to the swamp spam attack to get rare flowers make brontosaurus eat rare flowers to lure rhyinios kill 1 hope it’s a male ko 1 and almost kill it hope it’s a female and it impregnated your brontosaurus ps you don’t have to worry about the craving because it’s just for better rhyinios you don’t have to give the Dino the craving
pps you can use a diplo or trick but I recommend a diplo if you don’t want to tame a brontosaurus cause there health will level by the hundreds and the trick doesn’t do that and rhyinios are dangerous soooooooooooooo
In the early game, you can use like a trike to get a lvl 1 rhynio, and it will actually carry you through most of the game.
The baby’s colors are dependent on the host Dino’s and the mother rhynio colors
DONT CRYO YOUR DINO WHEN ITS PREGNANT IT GET RID OF THE BABY😔
Tek creatures won't work as hosts. They won't eat the pheromone.
