What are tips for rhyniognatha? Tips and strategies for rhyniognatha in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It’s gonna be a sky giga. Good PvPer and PvEer.
I set my lvl 101 giga with 190% melee on aggressive and wander in the swamp to kill these guys, mainly. They’re stupid.
I hate these mf’s I’ve lost 4 pts to em. You can’t cross the swamp at all with out them comin after you.
That little shitter toke my body and malested it or smth cuz my body and loot was gone after it 4 shot my as
Best way to counter them. Tame a high level procoptodon. Only level health and stamina. Take it to an obelisk, then access the obeliskand pick to save the procoptodon and then go scorched earth and jump into a wyvern trench and get the egg.In the island tame a bronto, then transfer the bronto , take it to the trench, lure the wyverns to a turret box use the bronto for cover. Use the wyvern against rhynios
I feel bad about my brontosaurus i just use it for nothing instead of petting a rhyniognatha
These guys are very hard to control because they have high mobility and strong damage. So to make it easier, I will shoot them with tranq arrow until unconscious and then place 3x dinosaur gate to trap (note:place the gate Infront, back and side one gate on each side). Make sure the gates are close to each other. When it gets conscious, just shoot with shotgun and simple pistol you can also use slingshot for a lower damage. For the host, I prefer to use diplodocus because it has a lot of hp and easy to keep it safe. 📌 It will take quite long time for rhyniognatha to get conscious. Hope this helps, enjoy the game.
Don’t try to fight it on a flier.
TLDR- fall damage is imminent
I encountered one for the first time on my argy on the island. I saw it and though “woah, that’s cool. Ive never seen that Dino before! Must be like a bug unicorn or something. I’m going to fight it!
Well, I never had problems fighting things on my argy before, It’s a little boosted, but as soon as I engaged this creep it sapped me out of the air and I was grounded to 1/10 health until it finally killed me. Yikers.
Can someone please tell me what I did wrong, i did everything that was correct pretty much, but when the timer came to an end, the rhynognathia baby didn't come out of my dinos corpse instead my tame just died
A high a level theri should be able to kill low levels. I have a strong theri and it took out even max levels with pretty decent ease.
Just hope ur on a fast dino and go near alot of big dinosaur so it gets distracted if u encounter it suddenly
I high level thezi should take care of these quite easily. Mine took on two and the encounter wasn’t that bad. Just constantly attack. I recommend 300%melee on a thezi. It isn’t that hard to get them to 300.

My first brontod craving were - gasoline, achitina paste, 2 fria curry.
My second brontos carving were. - 2 carcha eggs, 1 exceptional kibble, ammonite bile, caline stew.
I think the craving matters for good stats.
I just killed it and it doesn't respawn anymore...
AVOID THE SWAMP AREA!!! From my encounters they’re usually on the edges so avoid at all cost if you’re early game. It’s way more common to encounter than what people are saying😭 They’re strong, built in armor, literally shoots you and fast af too. It WILL keep up with your pteranodon (base sprinting speed) and argy.
I did not know it was in the mobile game, it literally came out of nowhere and killed my pt TWO TIMES ALREADY. I tried to fly away but ran out of stam, either way it was shooting me sm my pt ended up being low health before stam went out. It mainly target your tames so if your tame is tanky enough you can probably kill it off before it kills your tame.
You can try to use other dino’s as body shields but it really sticks onto you so you’ll need to find a big dino like a paracer to change its agro.
If you face him try to get close to other dinos he will attack then if he didn’t get on the floor (while your flying) and sometimes he will not attack you if he attacked you gg to your (pt or argy)
at first i saw a level 90 and i was on a trike level 86 and it attacked me so all i did was pull up my shotty and boom boom boom i saw it die i was so relieved
⚠️Beware in mobile revamp⚠️ these annoying bugs are very common for unknown reason, so you cannot tame a Frog or a Kaprosuchus, this means they should be have rarer spawn, I saw them like 2 of them
