The nano cube for the Rihwen is crafted. The vital, and toughest component to find is dropped by the boss in the biodome. There are 3 bosses, both with 2 PH's each. You may get a boss spawn on the first try(killing both PH's), or it may be the 20th kill. Everytime you kill the PH, 4 lvl 205 swamp mobs spawn. The PH's AoE for 2-10k, and they are rooted in place, with the actual boss being able to chase your squishy asses all over the forest. They will warp you to them, and they have lots of HP. Expect to take 2-6 hours per boss unless you bring more than a single team. Once you kill all 3 bosses, and combine all 3 keys, you have a pass that will allow you entrance into the biodome. You then have 30 minutes to kill the boss before the turrets gank you. Even after this huge process, you do not have a 100% chance to get the Rihwen part. An NT nano component might drop instead.
As a consolation for failing on this whole process, some decent armor drops from the 3 bosses, and the final boss. Proactive armor, and the Kegern's/Jathos Molybdenum which is better than Azure, and has a nice ability add.
As for the beast itself, no complaints from any of the MP I know that have it. :)
