Encountering Tips

How do I kill a rhyniognatha? rhyniognatha encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Looks so cool! Can’t wait to see what this thing can do in-game
Lvl 20 female impregnated my 406 base level rex, completed 4 feedings. My lvl 92 hatchling has 10,9k hp and 373% melee before imprinting.
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
Be very careful,for they are faster than pteranodons and will kill it and you.
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.
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
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
I was trying go in to the redwoods to tame a Thylacoleo but it scared me and out of fear i ran my pt out of there but the rhynio caught up and killed my pt Rip Pharry🫡
They are now on Valugero Ascended
I noticed they stop chasing you immediately as you hide behind a rock unlike other creatures who don't lose interest for a while.
Yes they are faster than your pteranodon... Once they spot you there is no going back to your base with your dino and loot. And I strongly suggest not to do that... If you manage to keep yourself safe and you lead them to your base... Then its time to reset and start a new world.
It’s even scary on a brontosaurus vs a level 1.
If you plan to fly through the swamp with something like a Pterandon or an Argy, I'd highly suggest to gain altitude and fly at that height until you've crossed the swamp because these things are not only strong as heck, they're also FAST, so fast that they can catch up to Pterandons. I've lost about two tames on it.
This is too op it can fly and swim
Beware: these living combat helicopters are extremely common in the Swamps, especially the southern part of the Redwoods in Ark mobile(ultimate mobile edition). If you want to go to the Redwoods but doesn't want to deal with them, enter from the northern part of the Redwoods.
Probably cry or maybe shield your first dodo with all your life
Why tf do these things shoot fireballs. I lost my first pterodactyl to this thing and then I died to fall damage. Safe to say that I deleted that world and will never go to the swamp ever again unless I have something with an ungodly amount of health and damage.
MOBILE VERSION
Killing these are actually much easier than you think
All you need is a decent journeyman crossbow loaded with like 10 trank arrows
Dismount and just start shooting it (make sure to not stand still)
They are very easy to knockout and then just kill it
But make sure your mount has more than 800-1000
Hp
Just found out the hard way not too fly at pt through the swamps, i was goin too redwoods too try and find a decent level argy too tame when one of these started shootin freakin lazers at me scared me out my draws i didnt even know they where there killed me and my pt and i lost the only decent loot i had 10/10 do not recommend bumping into this as a low level
