every time I look for one of these, I always find a male I get the essence, but I can never find a female so only do it when you have a lot of time cause I’ve only found one female ever and I’ve played 237 hours of this game and I still haven’t found more than one and I find it easiest to have cheats on that way you could just spawn it but if you want to tame it for real very hard, so good luck

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.

First time I ran into this nightmare, I was flying about the swamp and redwood area with my newly tamed argy, the first tamed argy actually. I saw it and thought yeah i'mma tame this too.*equips bow, *loads tranq arrows, *pinpoint accuracy. Big bug now is aggrod on me and is coming closer and realise, this isn't a big bug, it's a pissed off unit heading towards me.

First hit, argy was on passive... Rushes the bug, gets folded like an omelette.

Me at this point, just genuinely flabbergasted by the sheer brute force the bug exhibits.

Died trying to tranq it (only managed 2 shots)

For any noob, see this thing, RUN

I have recently hatched my second male rhyniognatha and it looks somewhat better than the previous one. I just want to know whether we can ever get a female through this process. Also, while clearing the low-level rhyniognathas to spawn a high-level one while riding your own tamed rhyniognatha, please use the resin armor. Mine literally had a near-death experience at 47 HP while fighting a wild level 10 female rhyniognatha. Somehow, the high-level ones spawn right behind your back and chase you when you're not ready at all.

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 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.

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.

This thing killed all my flying mounts early game when i was looking for an argy. They are relatively rare and spawn in/around the redwoods. They are like thylas, dont fly too close to the redwoods or your flyers will be dead RIP. full story of how i lost my otter on otter tips i think
