ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

Easiest tip to survive from it specially if you are a low level is to quickly find a paracathireium(the mini bronco guys) or if you are close to any large creature,fly under or around them and the rhynio will lose it's agro from you tame. If it doesn't in your case then RIP to your lovely dino. I had an encounter with them when I was going from redwood swamp and literally 5 of 100+ jumped on my nearly maxed out argy. The swamp and big and I was in panic so I just kept flying and thought to say my final goodbye to my love my argy but suddenly when I had 200 hp left a group of diplo,paracethirum and bronto was just outside the edge of that swamp. I didn't notice them but was going from that side so I just sweeped under one of them and afterthat I was saved. None of the rhynio came to me but rather started demolishing every freaking large creatures infront of me. Since I knew I was safe, I just sat down to see the brontos and others get obliterated. My argy too only had below 2k hp from his 10-12k hp but damn never gonna forget this incident.

Pls for the love of god.
Dont ever get close. Those things can one shot a bronto whit resin💔
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.
If you’re trying to find it in Ragnarok (Mobile) they don’t exist there.
If you see this and you don't have strong high level dino that can kill them quickly just give up. They WILL kill you. Dont even try goin anywhere near the swamps.
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.
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.
I ran into one with my PT, and it did not end well…
