Encountering Tips

How do I kill a rhyniognatha? rhyniognatha encountering and 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!
Option A is to kill them in ark ultimate survivor edition you need a ascendent long neck, ascendent crossbow, ascendent metal bow and some metal arrows then tame a bunch of pts and make them aggro on the rhyno then use your ranged weapon or option 2 sacrifice one of your flying tames then run far ASF from the attack or 3 just make them attack something large like a paraceratherium or a dilopocus or anything bigger than these 2 and then fly, swim or run far away as possible while riding your tame
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
Is it out on console? And could it be in mobile?
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
I’m just suggesting but my lvl 18 bro to killed a lvl 12
Molly this tip goes out to you!
I lost 2 T. rex, 5 raptors, 1 Stego, 1 trike, and 2 pt to these things… I just want to know how to kill this buggers 😢
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.
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
For some reason I can't find it in rag or any other maps other than the island is that normal? I play ase
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
I fricken hate these little shits I’m trying to find a new base spot cuz icthyornis and they killed my best pt devs need to make these less deadly or make them a cave creature Ik I’m not the only one who thinks this
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.
If you are looking for a rhyniognatha you can use a snow owl to easily find it
Ive only encountered two of these guys so far but they were both in the same place on lost island, it was kinda around where the beaver damns are around cords (70,60)
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.
