Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a onyc? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a onyc.
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.

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!
Yo dododex, why is titano kibble in the immediate recipes area. This thing doesn’t eat them.😅😅😅😅😅😅
Probably the easiest way to tame theses guys is to make a 1 foundation hut, draw him to it, get him stuck by placing down your last wall, walk away until you lose agro, then use bug repellent
Quick tip: If you want to tame an Onyc you can simply go in a cave with an Arthropluera since you won't aggro anything and you'll be able to feed them without having to get off them ;)
It's a slower, but more accurate and powerful version of the Dimorph. It can't carry a lot, move fast or take down larger creatures. but a good distraction/sacrificial lamb or decorative pet.
Some caves are untamable bats, while others are fine, wiki page has a map
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
Nets and bolas do not work on the onyc.
If trying to tame on center be careful cause it may fly up into the skybox right when it is tamed.

You can absolutely tame them through a wall still. Just finished a 145 tame with mutton, because kibble does not work. Build a 3x1 hallway with no walls on either end, agro run through place a wall in front of it, run around and wall it off. Barely derender, feed through the wall. 21 mutton for a 150, 4.5% per feed. ♡Hz
Why do ours keep trying to wonder off if not kept in a cage?
Can’t tame till level 65. Super bummed 🙁 in mobile
They CAN fit through a doorframe
