Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rhyniognatha? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rhyniognatha.
Only 2 will spawn on map at a time. Spawns are along the swamp River just south of the redwoods. Kill the males and take the pheromone from inventory(shotguns work well on them). When you find a female, have a tame nearby preferably a paracetamol for your first time. Damage the bug and peck at it with a low damage weapon to get below 10%. Put your tame on passive and feed it the pheromone. The rhynio will beat on it for a little bit but don't stress, it will fly up and whip down and impregnate your tame. (If you build a trap you can impregnate multiple tames, I've done 35 dinos off of 1 bug)
Doesn't work on tek Rex's, or maybe it's bugged
Taming this is like a miniboss. You deal damage and after a while the rhynio will back uo and fire sticky resign at you than repeat. Only when it is very bloody AND a female will she lay eggs.
I suggest you find a nice beefy dino If you don't already have one, make sure it's carnivourus so you can deal damage to the Rhynio, use that dino to kill a low lvl Rhynio, because if it's a high level female it would save you time searching for one, once you go out and kill one lower the Rhynio to 10% this part is very tedious you can easily kill the Rhynio with a good dino, once you get it low enough, feed your dino the pheromones and when it gives your dino a quick sting and your dino has a buff on it showing the amount of time until a baby, feed it's cravings or else you'll have a extremely low level one, make sure to immediately feed the baby and imprint on it the second it comes out, good luck!
The breeding tab should inform us how long the Rhynio takes to mature to adulthood once it has been born from the host, depending on the server settings?
It has to lay eggs on your tames
It’s so complicated to tame.
I don’t even want to anymore.
Hmph.
Ok friends let’s began well it’s a passive tames, it is creepy and fights EVERYthing , and you must kill one and then feed its faramone too a tame of yours then when you find a other one it will put a egg in your tame
And your tame will have cravings fulfill its craving for a better rhynothia and it will rip out of your tame killing your tame 😖 and it is discouraging, these bad boys can blast out cement and can pick up diplo’s .
To tame the rhynio you will need to find a male (drops rhynio pheromone) and kill it. Part two: The stronger the creature the better the rhynio baby, I recommend a Carchar but if Carchars are limited mutated brontos work really well. Part three: Find a female rhynio and trap it, after trapping it get the rhynio down to low health, throw out the Dino that you’re feeding the pheromones and wait for the rhynio to impregnate your Dino. Make sure that your Dino is on passive or it might end your plans to tame a rhynio. :)
It's has no bby stage unlike the breeding tab states. Pregnancy in your tame then pops out juvi.
Bruh I heard about them dreamed of taming one had everything I needed to tame one and I searched for hours for one (or more like two) and couldn't find one then found out that they are NOT ON SWITCH YET! I play on switch so I was literally devastated. If you play switch do NOT go after one. YOU WILL NOT FIND ONE!!!
I found out on mobile you can pop these goobers into a veto pod while they are growing up and it will change their imprinting requests. (After they pop out of your Dino btw)
New update on the Rhynio, only males drop the pheromones now not both sexs
The pheromone can be placed in a fridge to extend it to 33 days.
1.Get pheromone from dead rhyniogantha
2. Find suitable female
3. Net and bring to about 8% of health
4. As soon as it gets free feed sacrifice tame pheromone
5. She will impregnate and de agro and fly away.
6. Use a 5 behe trap to repeat with as many sacrafice tames as you want.
These are supposed to be rare but I see multiple and with the low level creatures on the island, if you fly a bird in the swamp area it is usually death
Do not use your strongest dino but neither just weakest because at the end the dino that is impregnate will die and give birth to the Rhyniognatha
It always carving shitt, how the f can i get an carcha egg
If you wants this "little" bug and you're on mobile, I suggest trapping it and knocking it out so that way you can get the damage in without accidentally killing it or getting yourself killed. But please know that these things take a really long time to wake up so you're going to be sitting there for a while if it's a really high level since their tour poor drops slower than a lacrosaurus with Dilo spit on it...
Make sure that you kill anything surrounding the rhynio before taming
