Tips & Strategies

I tamed a spino with these in mind… the spino was lvl 12 when I tamed it, but I got it up to lvl 60 and went into the swamps with it. His name is Wreckingball(I always name my spinos after destructive forces or objects), he has a little over 2.3k health and has about 410% melee with decent stamina.
I charged in looking for rhynios and got them immediately. Had four of them charge me, freeze my spino completely, and got me down to 400 health before I slashed them up into chitin. The rhynios were level 40 to 90…
Getchu a spino yall. Not only are they just great in general, but they’re good against the rhynios. If you run around enough, they can’t freeze you, either. Learned that the next couple times I fought them.
Although its health pales in comparison to my Rex (15k health, 507% melee) it actually outdamages it. It’s true!
Anyway, these bugs suck. Good luck everyone!!!!
More Rhyniognatha Encountering Tips
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.
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!
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.
Megatheriums easily kill them, I was flying in the swamp and landed for Stam, a megatherium lvl 85 killed me on my lvl 172 rhynio
Only spawn when you don’t want them to
rare my ass, these annoying buggers are everywhere near the swamp
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.
Pls for the love of god.

In ark mobile edition dont wander in swamp with a flyer they spawn in a pack and will destroy your pt/argy
