ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
To the guy who mentioned tarantula hawks you’re an absolute legend. I don't anyone who plays ark knows about these magnificent creatures that inspire our dinos. But yes tarantula hawk wasps are my favorite insects, they hunt only tarantulas, but yes they are quite an interesting creature, I have seen as they do there hunting and seeing how the rhynio hunts it is quite similar. But of course the taming is more of the similarity, I would have never figured out.

When I first saw one of these, I paused the game and looked it up. What I read was so horrific that I went straight back to base and crafted as many heavy turrets as I could and as much ammo as I could, to place around my base (which was in view of the swamp). Then I went on a metal run to get even more turrets. Put up about 12 before I felt safe.
Never actually fought one yet. Too scared 😭
Ark: let’s make a new animal
Worker: ok
Ark: let’s make it fly
Worker: ok
Ark: and spit acid
Worker: got it
Ark: and can land on water
Worker: check
Ark: and can fly underwater

Ark: shush. And have three different types of acid
Worker: ok what types
Ark: rapid fire
Worker: ok
Ark: giant bombs
Worker: are you sure about this
Ark: be quiet. And did I mention that it can freeze other Dino’s and players
Worker: this thing is over powered
Ark: I know and the last acid spit is a guided missile
Worker: but sir
Ark: let me finish
Worker: ok
Ark: and pick up giant Dino’s and flyers
Worker: I’m so sorry players
Ark: I’m not finished and let’s call it the rhynio
Worker: is it tameable
Ark: yes
Worker: how do they tame it
Ark: you have to kill the rhynio and grab a little ball thing and feed it to your Dino but before you do you have to find another one and trap it and get its health down to ten percent and then it will impregnate you’re Dino
Worker: oh my goodness
Ark: shh and then your Dino will have cravings that could be almost anything
Like a giga egg
Worker: are you done
Ark: no. And when it’s ready it explodes your Dino and it’s yours
Worker: these players are going to suffer
Ark: no there fine
Worker: ok. But are you sure you want to do this
Ark: positive
Worker: ok. And done now when I click this button it will kick everyone out of the game
Ark: do it
Worker: ok

The end
Here’s a story about this bug and me, when I started ark in about my 10 irl days mark I had a 10 Dino army and a decent base. I was unstoppable, but there was only one Dino I wanted more than anything, the raptor. I went hunting for raptors with full gear. I had all my bolas and tranq arrows. But then I made the biggest mistake of my life. Go into the swamp… a sarco appeared and I sent my Dino’s to kill it and the sarco managed to kill one of my Dinos, but it was only one Dino. And then I wandered into the beach. And then this GIANT BUG RHYNIOGNATHA KILLED ALL MY DINOS AND ME. At that point all hope was lost. All I wanted was my loot back. Just my loot, but suddenly I found my moschops lying around alive. Idk how but I was happy. I took him with me to try too get my loot, then he got eaten by a sarco…
