Encountering Tips

How do I kill a rhyniognatha? rhyniognatha battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Best way to counter them. Tame a high level procoptodon. Only level health and stamina. Take it to an obelisk, then access the obeliskand pick to save the procoptodon and then go scorched earth and jump into a wyvern trench and get the egg.In the island tame a bronto, then transfer the bronto , take it to the trench, lure the wyverns to a turret box use the bronto for cover. Use the wyvern against rhynios
Don’t try to fight it on a flier.
TLDR- fall damage is imminent
I encountered one for the first time on my argy on the island. I saw it and though “woah, that’s cool. Ive never seen that Dino before! Must be like a bug unicorn or something. I’m going to fight it!
Well, I never had problems fighting things on my argy before, It’s a little boosted, but as soon as I engaged this creep it sapped me out of the air and I was grounded to 1/10 health until it finally killed me. Yikers.
A high a level theri should be able to kill low levels. I have a strong theri and it took out even max levels with pretty decent ease.
Just hope ur on a fast dino and go near alot of big dinosaur so it gets distracted if u encounter it suddenly
I high level thezi should take care of these quite easily. Mine took on two and the encounter wasn’t that bad. Just constantly attack. I recommend 300%melee on a thezi. It isn’t that hard to get them to 300.
I just killed it and it doesn't respawn anymore...
AVOID THE SWAMP AREA!!! From my encounters they’re usually on the edges so avoid at all cost if you’re early game. It’s way more common to encounter than what people are saying😭 They’re strong, built in armor, literally shoots you and fast af too. It WILL keep up with your pteranodon (base sprinting speed) and argy.
I did not know it was in the mobile game, it literally came out of nowhere and killed my pt TWO TIMES ALREADY. I tried to fly away but ran out of stam, either way it was shooting me sm my pt ended up being low health before stam went out. It mainly target your tames so if your tame is tanky enough you can probably kill it off before it kills your tame.
You can try to use other dino’s as body shields but it really sticks onto you so you’ll need to find a big dino like a paracer to change its agro.
You just dont escape this mofo is like a giga MOSQUITO
at first i saw a level 90 and i was on a trike level 86 and it attacked me so all i did was pull up my shotty and boom boom boom i saw it die i was so relieved
⚠️Beware in mobile revamp⚠️ these annoying bugs are very common for unknown reason, so you cannot tame a Frog or a Kaprosuchus, this means they should be have rarer spawn, I saw them like 2 of them
You CAN NOT OUTRUN IT. Trust me please, I've lost 3+ PTs to these freakish helicopters. Your pt's spin won't save you, and nor will the strength of your argy. Always carry a parachute because not only are they stronger than the love child of Requis and Dwayne Johnson, but they fire resin at your tame to dismount you and disable it. Your best bet to survive one is a tanky creature with a sufficient hitbox, such as a stego. Good luck. -War
I was just taking my new tamed carchar to my base when out of nowhere one of these mf came and killed my pt then started attacking my carchar I thought it would do nothing because I had turned off Dino damage but apparently theses mf have a amber or something shooting attack and it does do damage even if you have turned off Dino damage and it luckily got distracted by a Bronto after it chased me and my carchar this mf almost killed my carchar from the redwoods to the south beach (DO NOT APPROACH!)
Be me:
Goes to swamp make my base there cause I like the environment and my tribes decide we could make a cool swamp village.
Make base and swamp village with bridges to base so we don’t have to swim in the nasty water and leeches takes serval hours perfectly peaceful only the occasional sarco and bug attacks.
After an hour I come back to base after collecting some metal I hear my tribe screaming “BUG! HOLY SH*T ! GIANT F*CKING BUG!” Me thinking “huh? The small ones? Must be an big swarm”
Arrive at base sees the giant bugs “oooohhhh” we kill one of them and loot it 14min later 5 more attack us , tribe tired of this nonsense so we do an occasional purge with our Rex’s and hunt them down :).
I’m from Florida it like dealing with alligator that end up in your poll or backyard.
So there I was running on my Tek Parry with my first load of metal in the new mobil, when I see a Paracertherium with wings. I thought it was a fairy or something. Then the wings separate to this huge ass bug as I approach. It then procedes to forget the paracertherium and murk my Parry and then me.
Best way to kill net it and megatherium it I thank you for your time
The Rhyniognatha is on the Island and Lost Island, for people that didn’t know.
Find it on the island or lost island mainly in swamp areas.
Yes it is on island map and in swamp area where l found one
I think the agro area on these guys got a little bigger. RIP Hugh
I used a primitive shotgun I found in a drop some how these things die in one shot even levl 100 so yeha use a tamed or a wild racer to distract it while you go full freedom mode
