Encountering Tips

How do I kill a rhyniognatha? rhyniognatha battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
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.
I ran into one with my PT, and it did not end well…
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 was killing some dimorphs with my pt and I see a level !!!!!130!!!!!! Appear out of the tree right Infront of me absolutely terrified me I was able to kill it tho but it was a female so rip my chances for a high level rhyno
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.
Y’all is that thing on survival evolved as well?
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
I lost 4 of my flyers to this thing and every time i am near swamp this mf comes outs of nowhere and attack my dino not me my dino u mf and i used to thought it was rare or something but I don’t think so right now and thats why i am going to tame this mf to take my revenge by killing his kind 🙂
Ooh I cannot wait for this to be added! Able to swim (presumably) fly, and pick up rexes, it seems like an insanely cool mount! Also I'm pretty sure I'm first tip!
Giant bugs are offensive to my health
New mobile is borderline unplayable and ruined bc the spawn rate of these is to high. Ark needs to dial back the spawn on these.
They spawn most commonly in the swamps north of the southern islets connecting to green ob, spawn slightly less commonly in the western swamp marshes, then spawn least common in the main writhing swamps south of the redwoods.
When wild this thing can and will target megalodons but it can't go in water so it will either wait until the megalodon swims high enough to melee attack it, or it will start shooting resin at it until it dies, so this proves that megalodons are inferior to carnos and similar to sabertooths and raptors in the predator and prey hierarchy. And since nothing attacks each other in the ocean, this also proves that mosasaurs and plesiosaurs are similar to the megalodon so in theory they can be aggroed on by any rex, giga, carcharo, yuty, allo, megatherium, or rhynio.
This annoying creature jumped me early on on my first parasaur while I was looking for raptors, just run if its early game, try
