Some tips for when using this hibrid between the average autralian bug and a apache helicopter:
-The melee attack is way faster on ground than doing it in the air
-It can in fact land on a large flat wall , not just redwood trees, something like valgueros clifs
-When carrying something like a wild spino or rex , you can go backwards to make it miss some attacks and go further before needing to heal
-To rapid fire the missile attack ,push the button really fast and it will attack without the "lock in"
-To save your mental health and time if you wanna get one , just get a bronto preferably higher level than the rhynio ,cryo it , find the bug , un cryo it ,get it to agro on the bronto and shoot it with a longneck or pump shotty, when it gets really bloody stop and use the feromone ,if its not impregnating the bronto carefully shoot again, DO NOT PUT BRONTO INTO CRYO POD , craving are sometimes literally imposible to fulfill in some stages , like element so dont smash your head into the wall ,it is till will come put a high enough level
-And lastly, is morally correct to spawn in a wild Rhynio by commands trust me ,this things sometimes just dont spawn and makes you feel sad
If you go to deep rivers or the ocean and fly just above the waters surface you can land on the water and glide just like a bloodstalker which causes you to sprint with extra drift and if you go to shallow water you will sink in the water and then start walking on land again.
The ULTIMATE transporter for taming:
1. It can carry dinos with up to 600 drag weight, which allows you to carry almost every land creature, except for gigas, carcharos, brontos, and titanos. To mitigate damage from aggressive dinos while you are carrying them with your rhynio, you can:
1a. You can use the resin armor ability to take 40% less damage
2a. You can use the screech ability to "scare" almost every land creature for 20 seconds, but it has a 30 second cooldown. You can use this by dropping the creature, going on land, using the ability, then picking up the dino again to not get attacked for 20 seconds.
3a. You can strafe by flying perpendicularly left or right. This confuses the creature's AI and convinces to move its head in the opposite direction you are strafing, which prevents it from attacking you.
2. You can equip weapons while riding it, this allows you to:
2a. Tranq dinos while in the sky so they can't attack you, you can also tranq certain dinos that are being carried by your rhynio at the same you are riding your rhynio, this includes dinos like rexes, yutys, and other medium size creatures.
2b. Tranq dinos on land, using your rhynio's large health pool to tank, you can also use the screech ability or sap ability to minimize damage.
3. You can use its resin projectiles abilities to immobilize dinos by doing a rocket attack, then quickly switch to needle attack and it will make the dino stuck in seconds. (this takes some skill to learn and master)
Just be wary of other rhynios, because they will literally attack any wild animal that's not a megatherium, rex, spino, giga, carcharo, yuty or titano (this includes megs too they can target megs outside of water but they cant go into water lol) plus literally like all tames
They are the best dino you can get, and yes they are at mobile ultimate edition too, and of course you can tame it!. So
- They can fly faster than pteranodon
- carry stuff that almost strong as brontosaurus
- Deadly damage same as allosaurus
- they can even swim faster than plesiousaurus
- they do not need oxygen for diving (in mobile ultimate)
- Very high HP same as diplodocus
- they can shoot like dilophosaurus
- stun (resin freeze) a dino/player, till they solid as a rock
- carrying dino like argentavis, but faster very more
They are all combined best dinosaur you cen get. Can walk, fly, swim, even diving! You must tame them
By HYP
I mainly use mine to pick up and carry Creatures like rexes and also for the fact how it has all of the fliers abilities,such as speed near that of Pteranodon,the greatest lifting strength of all on the island eclipsing even Argentavis and Quetzalcoatlus by quite a margin.can surface swim and even dive better than Pelganoris.
