First time finding this guy in the swamp the island along with a titanosaur, i thought i was lucky to find 2 rare creature in one place and that helicopter bug was max level,149 i guess.. i was w my max level 298 argy and i didnt know how to tame that bug so i quick search in dex and it said needed to kill it first, well guess what, i got strip naked along with my argy by that damn max lvl bastard, i didnt know he got a few special attack that can make me hard AF😭 so for anyone seeing this natural helicopter,research their tactic first or u will lose all ur precious friend along with ursef

#RIPSKYSCRAPER

They destroyed this tame, speed compatible to a tally (once was faster than a wyvern) stats are very dull and prone to dying with health averaging 3k-5k, and a 50% decrease in speed when carrying things (again its allready around a tappys base speed)......the sky giga should actually be a sky giga considering how tricky and confusing it is to tame these things compared to an actual giga

Everything in Ark Mobile was okay until these damn things popped up and obliterated my lvl 200 trike when I passed by the swamp, now idk what to do with that egg

Can find Asc Saddle BP in Swamp Cave

Now that they've come out I've tested them a few times to try and see how they're tamed.

You wanna grab a tame (I used gigas), preferably with good stats and/or one you don't mind losing - and bring it to wherever they spawn on the map you're using. You should go off and kill a Rhynio (any gender) on your own first, or with said tame so that you can harvest a pheromone from its corpse. Once you have that pheromone, feed it to the tame and then go and find another Rhynio (I believe only females can infest your tames, correct me if I'm wrong!) And aggro it to your tame while the pheromone is affecting it. Keep your tame on passive and let the Rhynio do it's thing! You'll have to shoot the Rhynio while it attacks your Dino, and get it below and certain threshold of health. It'll then perform an animation as if it is about to spit resin, but will do some sort of dive/corkscrew into the tame and voila! Your tame is now infested. Your tame will receive strange cravings while it incubates the baby Rhynio, and they're strange. It can be stuff like element it wants, ranging from consumables like battle tartare to even ammonite bile and achatina paste, all kinds strange things. Once the incubation timer goes down, your tame will die and out will hatch a juvy Rhynio! They won't aggro onto you when you hatch them (at least not in my experience) so super easy to just run up and claim them!

You also can't breed them, I don't think. Doesn't let me anyway, which isn't fun.

I hereby acknowledge that these are worse than a gigantic in my own opinion. I lost 3 pts, a spino, a argy, and a anky.... all at once.... to a single one..... 0/10 would randomly encounter again.

It will take a long time for it to become an adult. It took me about 5 hours. Needs two imprints. Hope this is useful.

Quick question, do yall know if I can avoid giving creatures cravings and avoid imprints. I want to tame a trike for this creature. But I don’t know if I can get it without the imprints and expensive cravings. Just for a starter rhynio. And will the rhynio be alive and adult. I don’t need it op I just can’t find an argy or a quetz to tame and all the pts on my single player are max level 30.

If you encounter those and they chase you, lure them to big dino and go under them. They will attack the big dino instead. I used this technique to survive those for like 4 times.

From experience, in case of a Rhynio getting agroed into you, don't panic and try to fly low to the ground (not inside the swamp) and try to fly close by the maximum amount of creatures so it agroes into them. Rhynios easily lose interest in you especially if they can't hit you.

Don't fight megatheriums with it

Can’t be hit off by a thyla

One jumped and did not do anything

Option A is to kill them in ark ultimate survivor edition you need a ascendent long neck, ascendent crossbow, ascendent metal bow and some metal arrows then tame a bunch of pts and make them aggro on the rhyno then use your ranged weapon or option 2 sacrifice one of your flying tames then run far ASF from the attack or 3 just make them attack something large like a paraceratherium or a dilopocus or anything bigger than these 2 and then fly, swim or run far away as possible while riding your tame

4 of this insects chase me on my argy with 40pts to movement speed somehow they can still hit me with meele attacks lucky it argro to a racer... Rip racer tnx

Just came here to know about this fker after getting me and my Pterror (Ptero) killed. Run, the moment you see this devil, don't think twice, just RUN, I learned it the hard way

TURNS OUT IT SPAWNS ON THE ISLAND I shat bricks when I saw that thing and tried so hard to avoid it, rip Miguel 😔 anyways if you are a bit new and don't plan to tame it uuuuh just hope you don't see it, I don't even know how to get away from these things, they're insanely fast.

Put sap in inventory to use abilities. For Xbox, to carry things (RB &RT) to use armor ( RB& right analog) to change type ammo (RB& LT). You can’t use melee attack while carrying things like you can with wyvern.

They are rare? I got like 3k chitin by killing ones near green oblysk and they come in packs of 3-4.(at least on mobile) so…

Get a very high level tanky megatherium and wander on edges of swamp and redwood near green oblysk.

Congratulations now you have thousands if chitin.

It will take traits from the host creature this includes stats, and colors. I'd advise using a high stat giga, or carch, with insane mutations, even a rex will do

They spawn in the swamp -Tested
