To get a tamed rhyniognatha, you first need to kill a male rhynio and get its pheromone. Then you get 2 high level brontos and have them breed, because the one you select as a host will die. Why brontos specifically? Because the drag weight of the host matters for the rhynio's quality (idk any better synonyms), and brontos are the easiest 100% quality host to tame. Once you have a worthy bronto to sacrifice, you isolate it, put the pheromone in its inventory and lure high level female rhynio to it. I believe you need to get it to 20% health for it to impregnate the bronto.

It will then crave.. like, anything. From hesperornis eggs to gasoline and ELEMENT. If you dont have those, the level will take a big hit. If you dont mind a lil cheating, you can make a backup before having the bronto be impregnated to restart if it craves something absurd early.

I have a question when it wants to go walks with you while being baby why it is not coming behind you 😭😭

Once your Dino gets impregnated, don't put it in cryo, you'll lose the baby....didnt even know until i got back to my base :(

There’s a bug on the server I’m playing PVE, the Dino you used the Pheromona on dies on the last 1 second literally, I lose 3 Dino’s trying that; if you have the same issue use an Owl to heal the Dino 6 seconds before the incubation is done and it’s gonna work I tried it today and worked!

If they arnt spawning, go on a killing spree in the swamps, I recommend a spino due to them swimming, walking and having a big bite radius (while bipedal), as wiping the swamp should allow spawning space to open (there's a max alive wild creatures in one place before spawning stops), allowing a rhynio to spawn.

The spawn command is cheat summon rhynio_character_BP_C on console idk if it is the same on PC tho

Was having a hell of a time judging how low of health one was when impregnating and also accidently killing it. What I found worked was to ride a direwolf and while it's attacking my host to be, shoot with whatever until the direwolf's cross turns orange. From there, I just chuckled spears at it until it turned red and then popped the pheromone. Worked 3/3 times in a row and solved my problem.

The baby oneshots all things that it bursts from

Ay yall j learned this the hard way, but the drag weight of the host creature matters!! I had a 135 female impregnate my trike, and even though I gave it all the cravings it came out a 68, but I did a 125 female with. Bronto and it came out ~lvl 150. Make sure your don’t make the same mistake!!

Okay, so I’ll relate my taming experience!

I really want a rhynio, and I didn’t need a super high level at first, so I pretty much just trapped the first female I could find: a light brown level 10 female.

I used the trapping method used by CobraGaming on YouTube… 4x stone foundation, stone double doorways and stone ceilings, effectively funneling the Rhynio into the giant fly trap. I impregnated a level 101 bronto and then just sat it for 45 minutes until it died… with no rhynio.

I did a backup save and went sixteen minutes back into the incubation period and after a bit of research, I realized it was because my bronto had no food, so I forcefed my bronto for the next fifteen minutes until the rhynio emerged, this time. I met zero cravings, since I don’t have the resources, and I came out with a level two male. The one great thing is how unbelievably pretty this bug is… bright pink and purple stripes with salmon legs, and red and black striped wings… weird, cause it’s mom was brown and it’s “dad” (male Rhynio I got the pheromone from) was light blue.

I did all this with a high level argy and spino on watch, since the swamps are NOT safe, so bring strong tames that will protect you, you incubator dino, and your new super-mosquito baby.

I plan to create a higher level baby soon, but this is what I’ve got as a first try! Im excited to try this bug out. It’s funny, I hate these things when they’re wild so much, but I’m totally happy to have one for myself.😂

No random guy, your sacrifice doesn’t need to be any gender.

Does your sacrifice have to be a certain gender? Like, seriously! Somebody please tell me.

For some reason my rhynignatha decided to stop flying mid flight high up, and well of course lost al his hp and died. I think it was a bug but now I need to get another one. I got my first one cuz the female was stuck in a rock. I hope this tim helped you be more careful with your rhynignatha.

Don't worry if they don't impregnate your sacrificial lamb even if they are under the 10% or less health. What you should try to do is sit on your sacrificial lamb and move it here and there and eventually it will impregnate it

If you are struggling to tame one and you don't have a net projectile, then just knock one out lower it's hp below 10% and get you tame to sacrifice. Also a stego is better then a trike for getting a better one but it's easyer with the trike.I hope this tip helped you tame one.

Whoever is saying, you can’t use an elixir on them after they’re born is wrong. I’ve used them on several without any issue.

(Don’t try this) me and my tek raptor tekey were rubbish through the swamp because one just killed my pelagornis and I got jumped my two of them both level 12 and somehow my tek raptor level 77 killed them both and then I died💀

On ark mobile ultimate. Upon continues taming trying to get a high level. I have come up to a conclusion that levels and cravings matter. I used a lvl224 bronto around 30k health then impregnate it with a lvl130 rhynio. My baby rhynio(evil orange) comes out to be LEVEL 176.

1st craving : ammonite bile

2nd craving : absorbent substrate (i think,can't remember the name that well)

3rd craving : golden hesperornis egg

4th craving : extraordinary kibble

5th craving : another absorbent substrate

Hope this helps.

If your on the lost island you can possibly find one in swamp areas. If your on the island probably check redwoods or swamps. If your taming one kill a male since the females don’t drop pheromones, find a female, use a harpoon gun ( put the net ammo in ) use something to get the female low. Get a dinosaur ( I recommend giga or carcha to get higher chance of it inheriting the stats ) feed it to your dinosaur . And let the female to impregnate your dinosaur. And there you have it a rhyniognatha. Just don’t cryo your Dino or you lose the rhy.

If you guys are wondering how a rhyinoganthana baby level is determined it depends on the level of your dino (host) and the female rhyinoganthana that impregnates your creature also cravings really matter a lot the formula of cravings it that the total cravings you feed the creature divided by the total cravings you could feed the creature basically around 4-9 depends on server boosts or cheats.
