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.

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

I can’t even wait to tame this

U need to kill one in order to TAME one?????

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

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

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

You can't outrun it unless you have your own rhynio so if you don't have it yet it's either kill it or distract it and if you're on a land Dino you're screwed these and their ranged sap attacks are deadly

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.

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

Is it out on console? 🦟

I literally just lost pteranodon 5 minutes ago and went here just to complain how annoying these f-ers are cus:

- Annoyingly fast

- Surprisingly deal a lotta damage

- Oddly huge aggro radius (I wasn't even that close, jeez)

- Ugly ahh looking

It all happened really fast, I wasn't even prepared. I WASN'T EVEN AWARE THAT THESE THINGS EXIST IN ARK MOBILE. I DESPISE THEM ALREADY.

These things need a nerf. They killed my spino and me. It was only level 3 too. So dumb

I was riding on my pt around the swamp looking for smh to tame and then one them freaking spawned right below me and i lost my lvl 230 pt :((( BE PREPARED FOR ONE TO SPAWN NEAR U OR IF U SEE ONE

This is too op it can fly and swim

Want to hunt for swamp creatures on the Island but don’t want to deal with these guys? The “Gulch of Lamentation”— the easternmost swamp region by the coast— has no Rhynio spawns! This also applies to the swamp area around the green obelisk, along with the thin strip of swamp river immediately north. Generally speaking, you’ll be safely Rhynio-free if you stay east of that obelisk.

They are now on Valugero Ascended

A Rex can handle these guys with ease, I guess that’s not really the point but it ends up being a free kill, and you can clear out space for flying over swamps… just don’t fight too many at once <3
