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!
For best tame ing and making SURE NOT TO DIE you can make a trap by using 4 stone dinosaur gateway trap one and do the normal process don’t forget to get dinos on passive and have high health dinos like paracetherium you can use trike to but high level
These guys are quite strong so when taming/ getting pheromone you should maybe get a high level rex and pump allot of levels into health cause their resin attack destroys your health.
Trap the rhyniognatha after it impregnates your Dino that way you can reuse it later for more rhyniognatha taming
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
“Wahoo! My genius plan to kill a male worked! Now I just have to search my 25 carnivores for the pheromone… AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
IDK how I'm soposed to manage to get a giga egg even though I have yet to come to see one
Take a high hp carnivore creature and fill it with meat s
o once it starts to crave you feed the creature the meat and he dont die i did that with a 7k hp t rex and it luckly worked
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.

In ultimate mobile edition :If you get a imprint that you want to change than use a cryropod. Just put the rhyniognatha and release it. You will get a new imprint. If you dont get it in one try keep trying. It generally changes in 1 or 2 tries. Works well for the walk with you bugges imprint or hand fed bugs.
High level Brontos worked best for us.
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.
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
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
Unfortunately, to the guy who asked if the pheromone can spoil… Yes, it does spoil. It takes a whole day thankfully. Just make sure you’re prepared to take on two rhyniognatha in a day and you should be fine. 👍
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
Tek creatures won't work as hosts. They won't eat the pheromone.
Rhyniognatha not follow problem
