Quick answer:<\/strong> The Rhyniognatha is not tamed by knocking it out or feeding it: you kill a male to get its pheromone, give it to a large creature (the host), let a wild female implant her young in it and keep the host alive until the birth. The baby is born ready to claim; the host dies when it gives birth.<\/p>\n

The Rhyniognatha, or Rhynio, is a giant flying insect made for ARK Survival Ascended. It can carry heavy creatures, shoot resin, cover itself in resin armor and cling to walls. Its taming process is one of the most unusual in the game, so it is worth understanding every step before you begin.<\/p>\n

How to tame a Rhyniognatha step by step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Kill a male Rhyniognatha and harvest the Rhyniognatha Pheromone from its body.<\/li>\n
  2. Choose the host: one of your creatures with a drag weight of 300 or more. With 650 or more (for example a Brontosaurus) the baby gets the best quality.<\/li>\n
  3. Give the pheromone to the host and find a wild female. Bring her health below 10% so she accepts the host.<\/li>\n
  4. The female implants her young in the host and flies away. It cannot happen while the host is trapped, and putting the host in a Cryopod destroys the embryo.<\/li>\n
  5. Look after the host during gestation: it slowly loses health and food. Keep the foods it craves in its inventory, because they improve the baby’s stats.<\/li>\n
  6. At birth the host dies and the baby is thrown some distance away. It is born at 30% maturation, is not hostile and anyone can claim it, so stay close.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Where to find the Rhyniognatha in ARK Ascended<\/h2>\n

    On The Island it lives in the swamp, where several can show up at once. It is one of the most dangerous areas on the map: bring good armor and a mount that can defend you, and remember that stone walls or better keep it out.<\/p>\n
