Polly is not safe. They will come for Polly. Pray for Polly.😢
If you’re taming it on ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition (or new ark mobile), its spawn rate is bugged and instead of being as rare as intended, it’s EVERYWHERE. If you play on that version, fly extra high above the swamps when you travel.
Keep an eye on the host's food as it will drop faster tjan it can eat
Unfortunately, as of today’s date (April 4, 2025), on Ultimate Mobile Edition Rhynios are affected by a very pesky glitch: they refuse to follow you! That means when you’re raising one, just hope that they do not request to walk for imprint, because they will not move.
I discovered this the hard way when raising a low-level one that I call Boneglue— who earned his name because he would not move and it was like his bones were glued in place, and also because I was tempted more than once to turn him into cementing paste glue. (Not a terrible idea if you’re low on that stuff. Rhynios are surprisingly easy to obtain.)
RIDING ON A FROG WON'T AGGRO EVEN IF T ATTACKS YOU BY MISTAKE.
Server ping has to be below 100 to get pregnant on official. Anything above that you will just burn through pheromones without luck.
Tranq it and you can do damage to it and check with a magnifying glass to see if it’s below 10% then when it wakes up use the pheromones and watch the magic
They are faster then anything else and can pretty much 3 shoot many times. Just why wildcard
Best strategy from what I’ve found
1 first scout the swamp with a spyglass from the back of an argy. This will allow you to see the gender without getting too close.
2) If the bug is a male, kill it and harvest pheromones. If female make a note of location for later. For killing the male use beelzebufo or Megatherium.
3) feed pheromones to a tame with high drag weight. My personal recommendation is Paraceratherium as they are very common and fairly easy to replace. Also the platform saddle plus mini gun turret makes it simple to get a female to ten health
4) track down female and get it to 10% health. If you find yourself with multiple pheromones and multiple sacrifices you can get multiple tames implanted with eggs in one fell swoop.
5) meet creatures very bizarre food demands until baby makes its big entrance and ta da. You now have a giant incectoid assault chopper.
Yes this creature is only on the island and lost island
nah i was just trying to go to north to get argies (i got them eventually so im not that mad) and i flew over swamp. BIG mistake. two spawned killed my best pt and me and i had to run back with no gear to get my old gear, i did get it so its ok!! but i had no more pt saddles and had to go to north on a pela. took WAY too long. definitely avoid swamp on ultimate mobile edition, take different way to redwoods!! (please.. dont loose ur pts or argies)
On mobile they are NOT rare
if you seen one there is always one more waiting to kill you
you can't outrun it, if it agro on you kill it or leave your mount or lure it to nearby large dino
avoid it unless you are planning to tame it
3 spawned out of nowhere I was with my argy
My argy killed all 3 of them with losing under 1k health
Got swormed in the swamp ,RIP level 49
The closer the swamp is to the redwoods the more rhynio spawns, and their spawn rate got increased in ultimate mobile edition so they got more dangerous
You can always find at least a couple of these F*****s in lots of swamps. Once it agros on your flyer, you’re dead. Just to know, stay very far away from them.
