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

I noticed they stop chasing you immediately as you hide behind a rock unlike other creatures who don't lose interest for a while.

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🫡

Looks so cool! Can’t wait to see what this thing can do in-game

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I was chasing after an otter in the swamps west of the Redwoods, then started searching the trees on my Argy and wound up face-to-face with a Rhynio. It scared the absolute sh*t out of me, these are by far one of, if not the scariest creature in the game because they stay hidden and laying in wait in the trees to ambush you. Of course I flew off and it started chasing us, but thankfully I read another tip on here that said if you fly under a Paracer, it will lose the chase! It worked and me and Rufio are still alive to tell the tale. Flyer beware.

On new mobile they don't seem to de-aggro if ur on a flyer, they just chase u across the whole map till u die. I aggroed one near redwood it chased my argue all the way to red ob where it died in the water. THEN, the Rhynio stayed underwater and killed me several times while trying to retrieve my loot. THEY FIGHT JUST AS WELL UNDERWATER AS IN THE AIR!!!

Imagine being a paraceratharium(not sure if i spelled it right) . Living your best life. And then you spot an oddly shaped bug that heads toward you with an only intention of killing you. It gets rapidly bigger each millisecond you see it approaching. You try everything you might to make it retreat and manage so, but as it gets further, it spits an orange substance that makes your eyes boil and digest your body slowly. You scream a slow and painful death as that giant bug also tears your neck apart without any remorse.

There is no escaping this bug I'm afraid😬

Beware of this creature it's faster than a pteranodon oh and it shots fireballs.

Don’t try to outrun on a pteranodon! You will die very VERY fast!

Idk what the devs were thinking when they made up the taming process on this thing 😭

Ptero speed: over 1000

Rhynio speed: 675

Ptero faster? Apparently not….

So... Anyone waste 3 hours of their life looking for one and losing a dino because they dont know how to walk around trees and rocks?

Don't worry just be on the back of your average level 75 sarco and just one shot it(or maybe an high melee bary) just don't be scared if u have single player settings and I got scared then just...was like what when my sarco named sarko oneshotted it

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
