Encountering Tips

How do I kill a rhyniognatha? rhyniognatha encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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😬
Probably cry or maybe shield your first dodo with all your life
Beware of this creature it's faster than a pteranodon oh and it shots fireballs.
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.
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?
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
Big tip for mobile if getting assaulted by this pest. TAME A HIGH LEVEL THERI NOW. And bada bing bada boom, no more pest problems. Stay near the beaches until you spot a nice level Theri. Level melee to about 400-500%, Then health to about 5K-6K, rest is up to you. It will keep you safe from these things. I found a level 115 Theri and its now level 200, I hunt these fools now.
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
They spawn on the island and lost island I wish they spawn on fyordor
Y’all…. They can swim. And that scares me.
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
Thier resin shot will lock up you flying dinos like a Bola in the sky and you will be kicked off to your death....Bring Parachutes!
Idk what the devs were thinking when they made up the taming process on this thing 😭
nah i was just trying to go to north to get argies (i got them eventually so im not that mad) and i flew over swamp. BIG mistake. two spawned killed my best pt and me and i had to run back with no gear to get my old gear, i did get it so its ok!! but i had no more pt saddles and had to go to north on a pela. took WAY too long. definitely avoid swamp on ultimate mobile edition, take different way to redwoods!! (please.. dont loose ur pts or argies)
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
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
They are just not flying bugs one of them killed ALL my dinos with ease getting that pheromone wont be easy
Lost my 157 pt to these trying to get crystal in redwoods they are pure evil 0/10
