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.
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.
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.
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
Guys a lot of people are saying that these things are super common. To put it into perspective for around every 12 foundations snapped together so like a base there will be one rhynio. Please be careful they are aggressive. I would say super aggressive not hyper but super. I was watching one kill two trikes and it went over to me to kill me. And it had both trikes alive. Very common and super aggressive, and what I would call hyper leathal. I had like 360 health and I would get one shotted. These things are beast. I hope you all can tame one since very few people have em right now.
Be VERY careful when going anywhere near the swamp. These guys can catch up to your flyers SUPER easily and if you’re on a ground mount you’re basically screwed if it isn’t a large carnivore like rex or spino with lots of guns and ammo on your person.
They’re also on ultimate mobile edition by the way.
Stay safe
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)
A few of these killed my rex, spino and yutyrannus leaving me with my otter and my other yutyrannus named frostbite
If you encounter this beast unless you have a wyvern or griffin you aren’t going to kill it. If you encounter this jump off your tame and run.
IVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE IN THE SWAMPS, IVE EVEN PUT IN A SPAWN COMMAND, IT. NEVER. SPAWNED.
One lost island I find em around these cords 58.9,69.7, 57.2,49.9, 62.1,46.8 careful they are faster then wyverns! When in the wild
Just casually flying around checking out these juicy Christmas drops and then I run into one of these big boys. and I thought thylas would be the biggest threat to my flying tames.
if you ever see this and you have a pt or argy run! but if you have a shadowmane stay and fight or anything strong do not leed it to your base no matter what!! if you do and your a starter your dead so dead and your tames so take this to heart
