Encountering Tips

How do I kill a rhyniognatha? rhyniognatha battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
BEWARE! I’ve lost multiple tames & items getting rushed by these, even up into the Redwoods. They DO NOT stay in the swamp! They know no bounds! Their range is infinite! Seeing one of these is worse than seeing any alpha!
So when I was flying my tapujara I was attacked by one. I can't even begin to tell you how scary it was. I tried everything and I couldn't get away and my tapujara died. Unless you want to join him be careful flying over swamps. And I thought swamps where dangerous enough😬
Before wandering in swamp near the redwood make sure your game is saved
Don't fly low on the swamp or else it'll spot your flyer. Best way to cross is to travel further up. Way up as high as the volcano and take your flyer some rests to gather stamina so you won't run out being close to the death zone
I for some dumb reason have a crazy hard time finding one. But oh when I’m just starting lost island I see a stupid rhynio killing everything so yeah I’m going over there later to get my first rhynio lol
This dame creatures is so not even rare at this point i saw 5 at the intrance the south west swamp and someone of them for some damn reason kept flying closer and closer to my base in the east middle southern part of the island lol like why does it show red as very rare to encounter and this damn thing is everywhere like sure wasn’t planning to enter swamp yet even though I’m level 71 mostly focused on leveling up lol I don’t have many tames but issue is I tried to kill it and died 5 times even though it’s level 27 only bruh why is it so op annoying can’t they fix this spawn a bit lol
This guy looks so cool can’t wait to Tame it and conquer the ark with this guy!
I’m just suggesting but my lvl 18 bro to killed a lvl 12
Molly this tip goes out to you!
Fi4st time encountering these guys. It started out as two of them, one fkew away. Not sure if I caused it, swinging my machete around. I was taking no damage with a metal shield. THE moment I let my shield down to swing, it hit, I died.
Is it out on console? And could it be in mobile?
Heres how to escape:1 run 2: keep running 3: get shot by its resin 4: scream in fear 5: delete ark 6: get ark. back and repeat the process :7 get killed by a dodo. -a ark user killed by a dodo
I started playing again recently so I didn't know what these were and I naively tried fighting one. Lost a bunch of bullets, arrows, narcotics, tranq darts, brand new armor, a rifle and an amazing lvl 200 Argy. RIP Sunset Blast, forever in our hearts.
This things can kill you off of your mount. I was trying to tame one and it killed me while on my trike. Be careful when fighting.
Well sometimes when u kill this mosquito u will not get that rhiniognatha pheromone (sometimes). Iam saying this because when I killed one of these I didn't got it excluding meat and other stuff.
When you're in the swamp and is being chased by a pack of these guys you only have a few option
1:find a paramecium go under it so that it will attack the paramecium(you can then escape)
2:any creature that is large like bronto would attract it's aggro if you go near them enough
Note:smaller creature doesn't work (most of them) and thia is on mobile
If you want to avoid them with a flyer, just fly like 200m over the swamp and you’ll be good. Ive crossed the swamp 100 times on my way to the redwoods or mountains on my argy yet havent had to fight a single one
U guys its kinda easy to counter these guys. Get an allo (I recomend leading it to the river and then using a sarco ti easliy outswim them and put tranqs in its face), level up its health to like 6k and put as many levels into melee after. I got an allo right after unlocking the sarco saddle and i found an allo saddle in a red drop. Then you have a rhynio killer. I’ve taken on packs of three on mobile by just running wildly when they start shooting and when the come down you can rip them apart with the super fast dps. If you see more than 2 of them though, I suggest just maneuvering around cuz they are not easy opponents. Bring this to the top for others.
Make a 1 foundation with 2 auto turrets. It aint that expensive and it is effective.
It's spawn is so broken in new ark mobile revamp i once went to the swamp about 8 Rhyniognatha came after me and it's speed is so much you cant escape if you using argy only thing you can do is kill all or let your argy die and run
A few of these killed my rex, spino and yutyrannus leaving me with my otter and my other yutyrannus named frostbite
