How do I kill a rhyniognatha? rhyniognatha battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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

Two taped with an argy, argy level 150 Ryno level 135

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.
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.
They are just not flying bugs one of them killed ALL my dinos with ease getting that pheromone wont be easy
These ugly insects are very fast and stupidly strong
Every time I go to the swamp or trying to cross it these guys chase me down
I am scared by these bugs even if a have a carcha I won’t fight one
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😬
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
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.
Beware of this creature it's faster than a pteranodon oh and it shots fireballs.
Ptero speed: over 1000
Rhynio speed: 675
Ptero faster? Apparently not….
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
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?
Once these mfers agro to you there's no going back you can either fight or find the closest Dino and just get his agro on it rhynios agro on pretty much everything so by any means don't panic just kill it or get it's agro on another dino
I was flying on my pt once, unfamiliar that these even existed (I’m used to old Ark mobile) and it killed my damn pt, I was left stranded with some metal tools and was attacked by raptors, boas, dilos, bugs, and compies. All which I somehow survived as I watched in horror as “Your Pteranodon Icy -lvl 32 was killed by lvl 3 - Rhyniognatha”. I later once I had spent 2 hours trying to find Silicon for spino saddle suited up my 250 melee Spino and encountered an alpha carno which we killed. I felt overly confident and decided swamp was next to be conquered and so we went to swamp and 3 Rhyniognatha’s attacked my Spino and I. I underestimated their power and my Spino and I both met our fate even after killing the first 2. The 3rd one was smart but annoying because it hovered in the air shooting balls of fire and shards at us which soon ended my poor spino “Venom”. You will be missed venom, you were a good girl, best spino I’ve tamed in this run. -MistyRex
Idk what the devs were thinking when they made up the taming process on this thing 😭
DO NOT MESS WITH THESE GUYS. I was going on a killing spree with my 160 argy until one of these guys showed up they go for the rider not the mount RIP rocky
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!!!
Lost my 157 pt to these trying to get crystal in redwoods they are pure evil 0/10
They spawn on the island and lost island I wish they spawn on fyordor
