Tips & Strategies

I was chasing after an otter in the swamps west of the Redwoods, then started searching the trees on my Argy and wound up face-to-face with a Rhynio. It scared the absolute sh*t out of me, these are by far one of, if not the scariest creature in the game because they stay hidden and laying in wait in the trees to ambush you. Of course I flew off and it started chasing us, but thankfully I read another tip on here that said if you fly under a Paracer, it will lose the chase! It worked and me and Rufio are still alive to tell the tale. Flyer beware.

If you’re trying to find it in Ragnarok (Mobile) they don’t exist there. Press the uppy so all the mobile player can see.
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.
rare my ass, these annoying buggers are everywhere near the swamp
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.
THESE FLYING FREAKS ARE IN THE NEW MOBILE, I WASNT AWARE AND I LOST A SQUAD OF 3 PTS AND 2 TAPIS LIKE DAMN BRO WHAT ARE THESE GIANT AH GRASSHOPERS ON FENT
In ark mobile edition dont wander in swamp with a flyer they spawn in a pack and will destroy your pt/argy
A similar level spino with at least 2000 health should be able to beat one of these buggers if fought only on ground close range
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.
