ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If encountered outside of a cave near a coast, especially early game, simply get it/them to start chasing you. Then run straight out into the water until one lands it's first hit. Then dive underwater and circle around, staying underwater, back to the coast. They don't wander so they will stay stuck out over the water where they lost track of you.

Like if the desmodus is better
First of all… these things are very violent.
Beware, they give you bat-aids (mega-raibies)
These bats stop me from raiding my arch enemy’s base they killed all my dinos which included 13 Rexs and 7 of my tribe mates came with me and died extremely quickly.
WARNING CAN BE OUTSIDE OF LAVA CAVE
Their mega rabies is super mega annoying!
Things to bring
1.) Bug repellant
2.) Flak/Chitin Armor (or higher)
3.) Spiked walls (wood or metal is fine)
4.) A handy ranged weapon (Rifle, SG, Fab. Pistol, AR, etc.)
5.) Narcotics (If ur looking into taming something)
6.) A durable pike (Doesn’t have to be apprentice or higher)
7.) Food and Water (duh)
8.) Tames that allow knock back (not needed btw)
9.) Your confidence to face these annoying fu-
If you have all of these then you’re set to explore the lava caves. And whatever you do, don’t fricken die.
When the onyc sees you, it will slowly fly towards you. However, if you attack it, onyc will fly much faster until killed or you go out of targeting range.
Found in almost any cave, the Onyc is an absolute nightmare for the unprepared.
So these annoying anti social bats with aids will make your life miserable.. there is a way to feel better and it’s called alt-4 👍 or just bring a sinomacrops to scare it away 🤷♂️
