never go up to one and punch it it can shoot fire resin at you dont go near one unprepared and if you have a fast tame like a pterodactyl you can run away from one if you have enough stamina but if you don’t well i think you know what happens and you can find them in swamps doing normal australian bug stuff

i was flying my pt trying to find my base during the night to grab narcos to tame a rex and i was just minding my own business till this thing started shooting at me, i was so confused cuz i didnt think these were on the island and it decided to kill my pt, i made it away tho and i ran home to grab my other pt and i went back to get my body and i didnt see the rhynio, but then it came outa no where killed me and my pt, i was abt to cry bro

I am very excited for this to come to ARK! It sounds pretty versatile since it can fly and pick up huge creatures, so it sounds like it can be a mobile taming trap! Not to mention that it also looks awesome, like a moth right out of hell.

Do not try and fight someone if they have this😭💀

It’s even scary on a brontosaurus vs a level 1.

Encountering this flying moster while It soars to the sky it's gonna be surreal, we also really needed more threaths in the sky

Be careful as they are in ark ultimate Survivor edition now my petranodon got brutally killed recently Just don't roam around swamps right now

I find it kinda crazy this things taught ability can scare a FREAKING YUTYRANNUS!

These are now on ark mobile, and I hate the sh** out of them, they'll wait for you to come back out to where you lost them at, they don't return from whence they came! I hate them!

In order to not encounter these when flying over swamp use bug repellent or fly high enough to where the demon bugs won’t load in. Killing one is also very easy, get a journeyman or better crossbow and keep shooting at it until it uses its ranged attacks, dodge the attacks ( or lead it to a paracer and to distract it), and keep shooting at it while it’s close to the ground to kill it. Killed around 50 of these wretched beasts this way :]

I thought originaly that they spawn only on Lost Island and Island. But i just spotted it on Fjordur. On the swamp island ( somewhere around 45 10)

Hope this helps

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.

I play on the Island map on single player. I killed two of these and never saw another.

Hey so do not go near swamp if you only have a pteranodon, because ONE OF THESE STUPID THINGS JUST GUNNED DOWN MY PTERANODON WITH FIREBALLS AND DROPPED ME STRAIGHT TO AN ALPHA RAPTOR. I managed to kill it by leading it under a titanosaur but the raptor finished me off

Ok so I looked at the dossier again the three web abilities are: the slowness goo, coat itself in webs for a defense boost and rapid fire (so I’m guessing like velonosaur) also the dossier did mention carrying things around the base so maybe not rexes but smaller creatures and possibly structures like vaults and smithy’s

I found a swamp that was a ryagnatha hot spot in astraeos

highly recommend going as far away until you can't hear any sound effects coming from them cuz the range where you can't hear their flying or attacking sounds is a good estimate if not exact to their aggro range

more tips:

idk if this is with all flyers but they really hate it when you fly cuz theres a high chance they will stop attacking the creature theyre attacking and focus on you when you come near them and only focus on you (i tried this with another rhynio) so try to land next to another paracer nd hope they target the paracer instead

and lastly if youre being shot at try slightly running in circles cuz you will get hit last

Major revelation: If you're flying in the swamp, wear a ghillie suit to not get you and your flier immediately get spotted and targeted. (only works when the wild rhynio is currently attacking something, don't randomly go up to a stationary rhynio and not expect to get chased)

This is similar to bug repellant but it also benefits your flier too.

The ghillie suit makes you not have to worry about 2 major dangers of the rhynio:

Its massive aggro range

&

Prioritization of you over other creatures (similar to a Rex but way worse)

Obviously, if you and another creature are in its aggro range and you are closer to it, there's a chance it might attack you first, but overall if you're wearing a ghillie suit, you don't have to worry about flying high above the swamps anymore to evade the rhynios.

I just got ambushed by one and I got out of the game so fast, I don't know if it's is even safe to get back in the game. Send help, this creature is scary to encounter on a pt

I just love finding 3-4 in a cluster and being jumped by 8 of them with only 2 argies.
