Coming straight to the point, Rhyniognatha can be spotted on either The Island or the Lost Island maps. Now, taming the Rhyniognatha begins with the crucial step of attracting the creature using a pheromone, which you can obtain by killing another Rhyniognatha. Apply the pheromone to one of your tanky creatures and patiently wait for the insect to take the bait. If you are lucky, a Rhyniognatha will show up and start attacking the baited animal. This is the time for you to get into action. As with many creatures in Ark Survival Evolved, the taming process involves lowering the creature’s health while avoiding unintentional kills. So, carefully reduce Rhyniognatha’s health to 100 HP using a net gun or other preferred means. Be careful, and make sure to avoid accidentally killing the creature while knocking off its HP. Once the Rhyniognatha’s health reaches the required level, it will impregnate the bait animal, initiating a countdown timer.


Allow the timer on the bait animal to run out, and when it reaches zero, a baby Rhyniognatha will burst out of the bait animal, ready to be captured and tamed. Keep in mind that the creature or dino used for bait will be gone forever once the baby Rhyniognatha emerges from it. This newborn creature will require some care and feeding to ensure its survival and growth. You can feed it various food items, including Kibbles, Veggie Cakes, Shadow Steaks, Freya Curry, Gasoline, Giga Eggs, and more. When it grows up into a mature Rhyniognatha, you are free to use all of its abilities. Also, make sure to imprint it like you do for any creature in the game.


Well, that is how you can get and tame a Rhyniognatha in Ark Survival Evolved. We hope all your doubts have been cleared. For more tutorials and news on the latest gaming trends, stay tuned to Digistatement.
