AVOID THE SWAMP AREA!!! From my encounters they’re usually on the edges so avoid at all cost if you’re early game. It’s way more common to encounter than what people are saying😭 They’re strong, built in armor, literally shoots you and fast af too. It WILL keep up with your pteranodon (base sprinting speed) and argy.
I did not know it was in the mobile game, it literally came out of nowhere and killed my pt TWO TIMES ALREADY. I tried to fly away but ran out of stam, either way it was shooting me sm my pt ended up being low health before stam went out. It mainly target your tames so if your tame is tanky enough you can probably kill it off before it kills your tame.
You can try to use other dino’s as body shields but it really sticks onto you so you’ll need to find a big dino like a paracer to change its agro.
More Rhyniognatha Encountering Tips
Don't forget you guys, we can craft insect repellent to appear invisible to these guys!! This trick also works for taming Scorps or Spiders with rotten meat. Bump it to the top for those who are rusty!
If you’re trying to find it in Ragnarok (Mobile) they don’t exist there.
Pro tip: NEVER under ANY circumstances fly a PT anywhere NEAR the swamp. Dododex says they are rare, but you can get four swarming you at once. This will save your life, controller, and pt.
I was just flying near the redwoods to looks around when one of these freaks pulled up on me and my pt. I didn’t realize they were in the new mobile version so I screamed and tried to run away (it caught up) and I had to dismount my pt and run for it. DO NOT GO NEAR ANY SWAMP UNLESS YOU’RE PREPARED. THEY ARE SCARY.
Only spawn when you don’t want them to
Rare??? My ass rare... They spawn in 3-5 stack literally in redwood around swamp area... Yeah they have alreay eaten around 17 pteranodon, 1 iguana, 1 trike, 20 human and lots of my stuff hardly crafted and looted.
rare my ass, these annoying buggers are everywhere near the swamp
In my experience in ASA on the island, i usually one ever get 1 or 2 spawn at once at the swamp. Also in my experience they have fairly low torpor and a simple pistol wrecks them.
In ark mobile edition dont wander in swamp with a flyer they spawn in a pack and will destroy your pt/argy
So basically the swamp is a no fly zone like the redwoods all because of these oversized locusts. They somehow fly faster than a pteranodon and can shoot sap. Learned it the hard way twice by losing 2 tamed high level pteranodons.
