Tips & Strategies
the upper south cave, the north east cave, the caverns of lost hope, the caverns of lost faith and the tek cave are not on mobile, and they don't spawn at the swamp cave or snow cave. i found them in the north west cave, and besides the terrifying cliffs, it was pretty ok. just take some bug repellent and warm armor. and they just sit in certain spots in clusters. the only other creatures in there are araneos, so with a few bug repellents, it's actually pretty easy, but without them the clusters of bats and spiders can be dangerous. you can avoid the cliffs if you don't care about the artifact, but unfortunately if you do want that, you'll have to brave at least one cliff. the cave entrance is so small that i couldn't get my onyc out, so i had to request it.
More Onyc Taming & KO Tips
You can tame onyc on mobile you just need bug repellant and use soothing balm on them (if you have one) then feed it with raw meat and then wait until it's hungry again and then you have a onyc! Up this so new players can see this
This is a great guard tame get at least 5 or 6 and have them placed inside of a house and if someone breaks in they will kill the enemies very fast and very effectively
I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THIS IS A PASIVE TAME THERE FOR YOU MUST SHOVE FOOD UP ITS BUT WITHOUT IT NOTICING YOU AKA TRAP IT AND USE BUG REPL AND GILLY GEAR THEN SHOVE THE BEST (MEAT) ON IT
Bug repellant is not a necessity, it can be replaced by crawling and using a ghillie suit. This works on all passive cave tames.
Mainly used in PvP to destroy player's armor, the Onyc is a guard animal. To maximize efectiveness upgrade health, damage, and speed.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah batman!!!!!
Just ride a cave spider araneo into the cave and go right up to one u want and feed it meat while on spider easiest tame ever
Two words:
Flame Thrower
I go to center caves, 2 in redwoods and floating island are best. Full ghillie, bug repellant, sacrificial sheep, chainsaw, sleeping bags, preserving salt. Use wyvern wing flap your target to safe area make sure bat is just above character level. Kill that ovis with chainsaw! Place sleeping bag just in case.. Put taming mutton in inventory with half stack of salt. Rest of salt and mutton into wyvern. Ghillie up! Bug spray! Walk slow! Stand under feed, do not move. Stand there for 5 mins(might be shorter but dang its long) it goes faster after that first bite. Keep track of repellent back away slow and reapply if needed! Perfect tame every time!
Nets and bolas do not work on the onyc.
