Utility Tips

What is a rhyniognatha used for? rhyniognatha battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Great for taming reapers on gen 2. Simply craft a trap (5x5, 15 walls high). Then grab your reaper queen. Take it and drop it into the trap. Get a light pet with high emission range and attack with your rhyniognatha. Use H-L-N-A to see it's hp. If it gets too low drop a parasaur in to feed it. Apart from that it's your average reaper tame
What I know so far.
Admin code for it is rhynio (rhynio_character_bp_c)(rhyniosaddle)
Is a preserving bin.
2 seater
Full degree of motion in flight (up, down, left, right, ect)
360 motion on ground (can walk backwards and sideways and diagonal)
Can rotate around target and keep focused on it (takes a bit of practice)
Yes is can pick up rexes, diplo, shadowmane, gacha and more!! (and can just as easily pick up a dodo) can NOT pick up giga/carcha or bronto
It can land on walls!
It has more abilities than I can list here.
All terrain dino! Flys! Walks! And swims!
Definitely most OP thing in game. New favorite for sure.
Down sides,
forces you to third person mode when fluting.
Only on two maps (lost island, the island).
Not like super fast but he isn’t the slowest thing either.
Holy crap… this thing is the most useful tame I’ve ever used.
Ran a couple caves and built most of my base AND killed a carch while this thing was maturing, but I just took it for a ride and it completely blew my mind away, even without having any sap to put in its inventory for its resin attacks.
I can shoot while flying, it can do a yuty level roar, it can swim at two different speeds, run and walk, hang onto vertical surfaces, is easily able to kill three brontos at once, and has enormous weight capacity.
I’m bummed that you need resin to do any of its abilities except for roaring, but it’s still pretty amazing either way!
I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RECOMMEND THIS DINO. TAME IT.
Totally worth it, the best tame in “the island” (do be prepared, for it is expensive, time consuming, and takes some preparation to have one) first, get a triceratops (can be any level, preferably 100+), obtain a rhyniognatha pheromone by killing one rhyniognatha , then obtain a quetzal so you can carry the triceratops away when you are done, due that if you cryopod it with the larva it will remove it, do what you must do to bring a wild female rhyniognathta to low HP, somewhere around 10-20% of its health (see blood in body, use shotgun or fabricated pistol ), hit it enough times until it prepares a attack with its tail and rushes at you, that’ll be the egg laying, then carry the trike to your base, there, it should take 8 hours to hatch, killing the trike in the process (make sure you are prepared for the most funky and wacky cravings by the triceratops, I haven’t tested it yet but it should affect level by 25lv/craving, they occur in an hour each), the maturation for rhyniognatha shouldn’t be more than 2-3 days, afterwards it’s fully grown, you can fly with it, faster than most, if not all flying tames, doesn’t waste much energy, has 1500 carry weight , and is optimal against alpha carnos/raptors of all levels, also kitting giga/carcha (all these measures where made with Traz, the 50 level born male rhyniognatha, currently level 101), most importantly, make sure you have a sap farm ready by the red woods , due that your new buddy will consume a lot of it and turn it into raisin that can be shot as three different projectiles and be turned into armor, upgrade life, melee damage and mostly stamina , it can carry yutys, rexes, and smaller creatures (use this at your advantage , due that the rhyniognatha has incredible flying speed). Cheers and success - Leon.
